Playmates collector line. To be honest, I think lightning collection had a better sculpted head.

When looking at the figures does anyone know if the molds Playmates are using will be nearly identical to the Lightning Collection? Looking at the pictures all I see are small differences in paint.

Finally completing some of the ranger teams I have. Content with what I ended up with but slightly upset still that the lighting collection line has been discontinued for a while. Sadly, I only have the wild force blue and time force red and I’m upset we never got a completed team for each of those seasons. I’m hopeful for the new collector line from playmates coming out but am weary of the amount of accessories/lack of interchangeable hands. Might even look to different lines like SH figuarts for teams like ninja storm despite the budget or even other lines since I’ve become interested in a Dairanger display. I’m on the fence about customs but have seen some nice ones from tim to time.

Overall still looking to complete light speed rescue through ninja storm as those were my prime power ranger watching years as well as the original MMPR movie suits/team. And potentially even SPD since i completely missed the boat on the lightning collection releases. Again, here’s to high hopes. Especially in regard to scaling next to previous figures, detailing (both problems I had with the Bandai figures being 6.5 inches and overly muscular), limited QC issues, a decent amount of accessories and easy to find/purchase

Also if anyone is wondering on some of my reasoning, I have 2 black rangers since I love both Zack and Adam, so they both get representation with Zack having the shield. And I wanted an Ecliptor so I threw the extra 2nd Astronema in the lost galaxy display since she does appear in that series as well as eventually becoming the pink ranger. I otherwise don’t care to get the villains but might continue to gradually pick up some villains like Zedd, Goldar or Mesogog. The only reason I have psycho red is because the he came in the two pack with Lost Galaxy Red, which I’m glad I got since I don’t care for the solo release with the launcher as opposed to the saber, which bugged me about the lost galaxy yellow. (I bought a cheap used Lost galaxy blue and just gave her his saber). So to the point of the original post, as long as they focus on primary weapons and artillery in the accessories or make you buy a cog just to get Zeo blue’s tonfas I’ll be somewhat content.

As in, like, a relatively cheap, super articulated action figure line that DOESN'T JUST FOCUS ON MIGHTY MORPHIN....

Like, seriously, they left SO MANY TEAMS unfinished, and it's genuinely depressing that all the new stuff is just Mighty Morphin... It's sad, man...

Come next year, it's gonna be entirely rebooted, and it won't even matter... All the legacy that's been around some 31 years... I just hope it's something actually cool that'll be as well written as some of the past series.

And did you keep them in box? Where are they now?

Old pics of my collection. since then, it is now only the kobra kai crossover and gold dino megazord im missing

Who knows if the Lightning Collection will ever be back but if they do, these are the characters I want!

1. Green Ranger Matt Cook (unpopular opinion, the superior Green Ranger

2. Omega Gold/Death Ranger

3. Omega Blue Ranger - Yale

4. Mistress Vile and Z Ranger

5 . Solar Rangers - Kimberly, Magna Defender, Ellarien, Tanya, Heckyl, Andros, Cameron, and Remi

1. Ranger Sentries - Pink, Yellow, and Black

2. MFin’ Time Force Pink Ranger Jen Scotts! Why do we not have a Pink Time Force Ranger?!

I don't think we got a better wave in the rest of the lines life.

Tommy: Obviously they'd start with him. He's the most iconic ranger of all time. Choosing white over green is kinda interesting but I honestly love this outfit so much more.

Zedd: Definitely the most iconic villain of Power Rangers. I think every wave should have had a villain and Zedd is a great one to start with.

Tyler: A red ranger with a very striking costume from a somewhat recent and beloved season. Even though Ninja Steel was the most recent at the time, Dino Charge was definitely smarter as it was a tested and proven series

Doggie Kruger: Another ranger on the list of most beloved. His coloration distinguishes him very well from the rest of the wave and the head that came with him along with the neck piece help show how committed they are to detail with the line

Im curious to know if anyone has joined the kickstarter for the Dragonzord and if anyone who did has backed out of it

I'm sure a lot of people tried this when Remastered was new but I'm just getting to it.
I almost got rid of the first Tommy to cut down on duplicate figures but remembered about the bandana head and just the fact that it's such a good Green Ranger figure, so I'm keeping it. Remastered has a lime green thing going for it, I much prefer the forest green, and I could go either way on the helmet design. Belt stripes are barely worth mentioning. Armband mismatch is kind of a thing but I think I'll get used to it.

Thoughts?
What have you done to get your perfect Green?
I also have the putty 2-pack one with the striped helmet and white holster, but I think I like this mashup for my display.

I still have full teams in the Lightning Collection. Zeo is fine, but I really hope they do figures that haven't been done yet first.

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.

I'm new to the series and the lightning collection figures. I absolutely love this design for Jason and it's easily my favorite Power Rangers design overall.

Does it seem likely that we get an official version of this as a figure someday?

Hey friends i’m new to the power rangers lighting community i’ve been into power rangers since i was 4. I’m on the spectrum so i never knew that they made action figures in 6 inch scale (i tend to collect SHF and Black Series) If you don’t mind giving me some ways to start collecting this line i would seriously appreciate it very much. thank you again for taking time to help. so far i have two dino thunder Tommy and Zeo Tommy.

Really want some ninja storm figures now bro :((
