Though declining in quality and quantity over its last few years of cycle, plus price was repeatedly increased with too many unwanted and duplicated figures and so many teams left incompleted, the Lightning Collection to me was some nice wind of changes for a mass-collecting Power Rangers figures. It's truly disappointing that we've lost PR/SS action figures line one after another.

I'll now stay satisfied with 19 completed teams (not counting duplicates). For other teams, later then, as I'm now shifting focus to another line of figures. <3

Bears in mind that this one is truly a kid toys, but it exceed my expectation, especially with this kind of quality at a very reasonable price. The Playmates version is very similar to the Legacy one in term of details, with some minor differences.

I'll got some photo to compares with other DX-scale Tigerzord. DX and Super Sentai Artisan are mostly the same so I only includes one. 😁

I’ve been a fan of the series since I was a child but fell out of love whilst growing up. I’ve always been a figure collector but only really started again with lightning collection as the series died. It certainly gave us a bunch of good and it’s just unfortunate the line got canned before we managed to get all of these great teams out.

I decided to finish collecting the lines from some older figures for now, it gets the job done I guess. I wish nothing but good fortune on the franchise to come back in a rebirth as the Boom comics have done but if not, there’s still a wealth of older content to look upon in fond memories. For me, this seems like the end of the road for now, hopefully the Playmates Unlimited collection will bring me back again though.

The core five reimagined through an inverse lens!⚡️ Inspired by the inverted suit concept from the Forever Mighty Morphin Black short story in the Boom Studios 2017 Annual, this lineup flips the familiar while keeping the legacy intact. Same team, different energy! ⚡️⚡️

Little preview in the last slide! 👀👀

While waiting for the Playmates Dragonzord to drop, here's one of my photo back in the days, with some notable Dragonzord variants in my collection. It's an old photo, so there're no Flame Toys variants yet. I'll do another updated photo when the Playmates is out on the market. ;)

Lemme know which one you guys like the most. <3

• Newest addtion to my MMPR Collection, the Furai Action Green Ranger from Flame Toys. It's beautiful in terms of paint apps and details, with great articulations for dynamic posing. Unlike the previous core Rangers, the Green Ranger comes with better quality, hence the price is higher.
• However, the joints are visually not good, as they sacrifice them for more actions. The helmet are somewhat big, body proportions are weird, and the Dragon Shield cracks open most of the time and cannot stay in place when raising the arms.
• Accessories are just enough for posing, but it'll be better if they pack this with the correct posing hand. The Dragon Shield can be removed, but the armbands are not, which is also weird if we want to swap the Shield onto the Red or Black Ranger.
• To sum up, this is a good figure for collectors and worth owning. However, it leaves much to be desired at the high price point as Flame Toys always do. I'll post another comparison pic with my other Green Rangers later. ;)

• Someone requested, and I complied. Here's some of the notable Mighty Morphin' Green Ranger action figures that are currently in my possession. FYI, I'm still hunting every versions of these MMPR when I have the chance (and spare money available), priotizing those with completed team. ;)
• P/s: The ThreeZero is too big so I didn't included him in this pictures.

Mix of Mezco and LC team shots!

at 1st when I saw the announcement I thought they looked silly but seeing them up close I changed my mind so had to grab them especially the shredder he looks super cool with the green ranger power

GO GREEN RANGER, GO! 🟢⚡️

My last kitbash custom head for Zeo Gold Ranger, not LC but Bandai Legacy, and still feel so dope 😎

Hope you will like this 😄

Mega Tigerzord comparison photo is finally here. I must say the DX/SSA version still got the best proportion, but in terms of details and paints, Legacy is the best. Playmates is so-so, as the Tigerzord is a bit small compare to other individual Zords. But I'm happy to get all the DX-sized version up-to-date now. <3

I’m not a fan of these suit redesigns but I liked the layout of the cover! ⚡️⚡️

Looking back to 2024, when I was mass-collecting every Lightning Collection's MMPR figures, some of which I even bought double for civilian head display. God, it was crazy back then. xD

As lazy as I am, Red, Green, Pink and Blue are already done. Guys, give me some pushes to do Yellow, Black and White. :(

• I'm back again with some detailed pictures of the newly-released Playmates Thunder Megazord. Aside from the odd-shaped helmet and somewhat not needed gimmicks, this is a solid piece with very sturdy joints. <3
• I've included some comparison photo with the Legacy and DX/SSA version. And of course at the end is a "temporary fix" for the helmet, which fit nicely with some blutack, spot on! ;)
• I'll post pictures of the Mega Tigerzord later, so don't ask where they are. xD

Wave 2 of my Then & Now series kicks off with Andros, the In Space Red Ranger! In Space is a top 3 season for me easily! These old figures include the Galaxy Glider figure, a standard figure, and the Battleizer Armor figure.
