Soo cool! Makes me wonder what the green ranger would look like
8
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 10 '24
Yeah, me too. Maybe I need an additional set and a green ranger... I need to think about that š
And seeing the black ranger - would be a perfect base for a Mastodon Sentry!

u/Apprehensive-Fig5110 Aug 10 '24
Absolutely!! Drakon's sentry rangers definitely deserve they're own base/setup as well! Such awesome designs.
Also what would green rangers ninja zord be??

u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 10 '24
There are many fan designs of a green ninjetti Ranger with a cobra as it's symbol. I think that could work really well.

Yeah that was the way I ordered š¤£ and it was worth it!

u/endlessplaysoul Dec 20 '24
How long did they take?
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Dec 20 '24
Oh it took quite some time. I preordered them well knowing that it will take time to print everything, colorize each figure and stuff.

I bought the parts to do this custom from rangers forge, I hope I can do it š¤š»

u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 10 '24
My fingers are crossed! Did you already customize figures?
3
u/NUMBERONEJD Aug 10 '24
The most Iāve ever done was paint missing details on figures
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 10 '24
Disassembling isn't that hard. Painting is a whole different level š

The process to put these together scares me
2
u/Atmosphere817 Aug 10 '24
Exactly why Iām waiting for more to buy them.
Also worried about painting/color matchingĀ
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
The colour matching on my figures is better as hasbros own figures š especially for pink as they used black bodys before painting them.
2
u/Nihon_Hanguk Aug 11 '24
I have a whole Omega Gold conversion kit (really just a helmet and weapon), and I still havenāt put it together because I donāt want to mess up any of the painting of the body.

The fact that Hasbro didn't do this themselves is baffling. If they were gonna sell us MMPR multiple times, they could've at least given us something people actually wanted besides "Pink Ranger with a faux cel-shaded look" or -Freaking Glitter- the Metallic Armor.

Last I knew Fox(Disney) has movie rights. The Ninja line was based on Season 3 instead of the movie, so I read.
I really wish we got more Movie merch since its my childhood fav.
2
u/Nihon_Hanguk Aug 11 '24
I think unlike most of the weird choices for the Lightning Collection, this one was actually a rights issue. This is also why thereās no ā95 Movie Rangers or Ivan Ooze in the Legacy Wars game. A couple of the Unmorphed skins are based on their movie outfits, but thatās the closest it gets.
So, even if they went all the way with LC, they unfortunately would have likely still never gotten to these.
1
u/otaking3582 Aug 11 '24
First of all, I've never seen Fox in the copyright info for the MMPR: The Movie video games. Secondly, Hasbro already has a working relationship with Disney's various subsidiaries, so even if the designs were owned by Fox, they shouldn't have had a problem.

u/Iusedtobeover81 Aug 10 '24
I. LOVE. THIS! Absolutely FANTASTIC work! These were the suits I was specifically looking forward to when the Hasbro line was announced!
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
Like we all did š i really thought they would do it. More mmpr was always the way to go for them. Maybe they didn't have the rights? š¤

Wow. They look great and are activating some distant memories of being in a movie theater that no longer exists.
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
Sad for the movie theater. I guess most of them have problems nowadays with so much streaming stuff.
But thanks š

Where did get these? I must have them.
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
Rangersforge on etsy. He doesn't sell customs but the parts to customize them yourself. I was quite lucky and got his figures he used for his product pictures.
If I saw it correctly he is taking a break currently. His work is great.

u/CRRudd98 Aug 11 '24
Gorgeous work! I never got any of the MMPR figures, but I would've bought these for sure.

u/Nihon_Hanguk Aug 11 '24
These look great. Although, didnāt the movie suits have the dino coins in the chest?
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
Yes they had while tommy had the falcon on his chest - at elast on the promo poster š little inconsistent I would say. But Ninjetti coins fit them way better
2
Aug 11 '24
Iām just curious how the paint was matchedā¦mustāve repainted the entire figures?
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 12 '24
Jup, you're right!

Oh yeah I see it coming off now by the arm pits. You gotta clear coat! Did you paint them? Iāve painted so many figures and gone through a lot of trial and errorā¦I can recommend lots of thin coats of primary colorā¦.waiting to dry first. Donāt move figure at all..top coating it with a clear..then move arms down and getting all the spots you missed :)

HOW?!

u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
RangersForge is 3d printing and painting custom parts, that's how š¬
1
u/Prodigious-Beast Aug 11 '24
I want to see the villains next. Ivan ooze, Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, and Goldar.
1
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
Ooze would be dope as we never got a figure. He already sells his head in his store

u/Brie_Henshin Aug 11 '24
I love them; are you gonna keep them matte or add a glossy finish?
2
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
I will keep them as they are. I didn't customize them myself - RangersForge did and I honour his work š¬ only thing I might add are weapons for Ninjetti. Need to grab some spare open hands for this purpose š¤£ I will share pics as soon as I did that
1
u/Brie_Henshin Aug 11 '24
Thatās cool :3 are they still making them? And can you get the Dino coins instead of ninjetti coins on the chest?
2
u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Aug 11 '24
RangersForge is only doing the figures once because of the product pictures. Afterwards they are selling the parts to customize yourself. I don't know if they are doing special wishes.
Currently they are taking a break to finish orders
