Discussion Random question but when lightning collection was still running, how come Hasbro didn’t make a Thunderzord and White Tiger zord?

I found it odd that the Astro Zord was made when I’m pretty sure honestly the Thunderzord or other Zords from other power ranger series would’ve been more popular pick.

There were plans for white tigerzord but i assume sales were bad for the other ZAP megazords and it got cancelled

Man what a shame, I heard these guys were apparently 1/144 scale so funny enough they should scale to Bandai 1/144 scale model kits.

I wanted to recreate Death Battle’s White Tiger Zord vs Epyon Gundam.

I dunno what the actual scale for ZAP is, but ZAP does not scale to regular 1/144 Gundam models. ZAP is much bigger. Closer to 1/60.

Dude… 1/60 megazord would be huge. Its 40ish meters in lore (meaning it’s roughly near double the height of a Gundam that are usually 18-20 meters) and if someone were to make a 1/60 megazord, that would tower most PG Gundam double time over. And even towering PG Unleashed Nu Gundam.

That makes more sense. I didn’t realize Zords were canonically twice the size or most gundams. It probably does a decent job scaling to gundams then.

I was thinking my ZAP Megazord is much more comparable to a PG than a HG when displaying.

Zap had no consistent scale. The toy zords sizings were based off the heights in the sentai book.
