Re: Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Line
Not a collector of the LC line, or anything PR anymore. However I had time to kill and watched the livestream.
First, glad to see Emily on another brand besides Joe. I know she really divides the fans for whatever reason, but I like her personality and I think she does a great job for someone too young to have grown up with the brands (Joe especially).
Second, I only have the Sphinx guy from early on because he was $15 at Winners one day last year when I was browsing. He is a great figure, and I use him as a guardian/statue for a temple the Joes and Cobra are searching. However I have to say that some of those reveals today were pretty outstanding.
I didn't realize there was a Netflix movie/show/whatever with a continuation of the MMPR team (well some of them). I heard something, but I thought it was some kind of retrospective. As sad as it was to see how old the actors looked, it did warm my heart to see them back in action (even though I was a bit old for MMPR when it came out). I like how they did the usual PR stunt and brought back Rita, but with a robot face!!!! Hilarious, but hey it works for PR.
As for the figures, I don't have any real attachment to the Rangers, but man that Rita and Minotaur look pretty damn great. I might be tempted by them, but only on sale.
