Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

From reviews I see, the yellow Ranger is very floppy and the face paint is very bad (thickly applied). Two reviewers had arms come off at the bicep (easy fix, but still).

The red Ranger can't get the helmet down very low. However, if I do get this set, the Red Ranger helmet will go to my regular Red Ranger. Still debating if it's worth getting or not though.

I would like to see how yours turns out.

My yellow is a little floppy, but not too bad. And the face paint is great, not thick or anything.

I like that both figures get each version of the blade blaster, blade, gun and sheathed.

Overall I am happy with them, never read the comics but if there are other swaps I'd like to get them.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Good to know. Maybe Canada got a later batch. I would probably get them cause I like MMPR.

The new Hasbro livestream reviewed the In Space silver with his bike. Looks like it's a new body with pinless joints too.

Gonna pass though since I have the Gamestop single pack and since all my In Space don't have pinless joints, then it's ok for me as they'll all be consistent.

Blue Senturion looks good. I'll tolerate the deluxe price on this one.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Glad they are giving us a other chance to get the silver ranger. It's the only in space i need to complete the team. Wasn't collecting back when it was released at GameStop.


Of anyone sees a preorder link let me know.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

One thing I can say I'm impressed about is at least they kept the paint on shoulder inaccurate so it still matches with the rest of the team instead of correcting it. Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit? Lol. Will be getting it still. Blue Centurion as well but why in the world is it a "deluxe" release? Comon..

Just because they can. They justified it in the pod cast by saying he has extra holsters so you can put holster on eiher leg and something about the clear parts.

Wow.. Looks like lightning collection is going the way of Black Series. Deluxe price for a figure that should be a standard release.

Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line

Yeah, even the regular price is like what the deluxe price used to be.

On another note, not sure if anyone else might have done this. I hated how the SDCC (or was it PulseCon) Lord Drakkon had a plastic cape that was so heavy that it caused him to not stand. I managed to get a MOTU Revelations Tri Klops that comes with a nice cloth cape. Since I don't use that for him, thought it would be a good replacement for Lord Drakkon.






It can just be tucked into the holes for the plastic cape on his back.

From the top, it looks just like how the plastic one goes on.

Nice custom. Heavy plastic capes shouldn't even be a thing anymore.
