I dont' think there was a problem with the molding of the figures. The problem was with the quality of the plastic used. They also didn't have window boxes so they could at least do basic visual quality control at the factory.
Hasbro has shown they lack competency in making collectors items and toys with WV and franchise relevancy. The fact they go to MMPR for everything I think hurts the brand. I see lighting collection on clearance more than not
Star Wars: The Black Series is kind of a new thing? HA HA HA I don't see any gray or white hairs in you beard there. I'm pretty sure it's been around for more than 10 years.
A full relaunch would be Hasbro only designs. Hasbro wants to cut costs as much as possible. Whater connection between Super Sentai and Power Rangers most likely includes royalty fees for using Super Sentai designs. Hasbro going Hasbro-only designs cuts out that cost/expense with the thought that Power Rangers fans will buy anything with the Power Rangers name on it.
Hasbro is having some kind of financial problem. Star Wars and Marvel are not doing well. Hasbro demolished Magic: The Gathering and D&D. If Hasbro even survives Power Rangers will most likely be put up for sale to help Hasbro survive. The "hiatus" is a permanent end. (What can I say? I'm a super cheerful person.)
Hey buddy, great video. What you said is 100% correct all the way down. I think the restructuring we would like to see more more first from all of the shows and help. That's from all of the shows and weapons from all the shows and to be able to get figures that actually finish our group collections. Now I got a question for you. I've always wanted to see this. I always wanted to see them since they do all those hazlab things. Do megazords that fit the six to seven inch figures that we get from the lightning collection you know or detailed cockpits on their own that fits the figures, but it'd be cool if they can make a megazord that the figures fit in. I always thought that was cool. I'm always a guy that likes to see the vehicles that fit the figures that look cool and have the detail cockpits and everything. So when they did like the legacy falcon and things like that for Star wars that was great. So anyway, good job on the video. Let me know what you think about my question
If Hasbro actually makes more Power Rangers action figures they will most likely completely ignore everything before their shiny new version of Power Rangers.
I'll be honest... I doubt it will be. I, also, do believe this reboot might crash. While I think it needs to distance itself from the cheap kids' show, it also doesn't need to have its identity torn apart and changed into something that isn't Power Rangers. I kinda wish Marvel had bought it, honestly. That's the kind of Power Rangers I want. Jonathan Entwistle only knows how to do dark, edgy and twisted psychological stuff and it's always disturbing. Then again, the majority always likes changes made to things, when I hate the changes. It's why I can't play The Legend of Zelda games, now. It doesn't feel like it used to and I liked the way it was.
The Disney of today is an utter joke. Disney has DESTROYED Star Wars, Indiana jones, Marvel, Willow, and everything else it has. Disney would do unspeakable things to Power Rangers. Hasbro is Disney's protege. Hasbro is striving to be just like Disney.
Despite all my negativity and anti-Hasbro comments I actually enjoy the Power Rangers. I like all the teams and colorful uniforms and the monster. The zords and megazords are a bit too blocky for my tastes, but those are still ok. I was enjoying the Lightning Collection figures. Hasbro's decline in quality was disturbing and unacceptable.
Hasbro doesn't want to do Power Rangers Lightning Collection. Hasbro will come up with a new design that is simpler and dumbed down, but still cost $50 or more per small figure.
Even if the Lightning Collection is restarted after Power Rangers is rebooted, I don't think the pre-reboot Power Rangers will be commercialized. The only future product development will be the reboot version of the Power Rangers, and the main Power Rangers will also be replaced from Mighty Morphin by the reboot version of the Rangers, right? The reason for this is that the Lightning Collection, which commercializes past Power Rangers rather than current works, went on an indefinite hiatus with the end of Power Rangers before the reboot. In fact, G.I. Joe and Transformers continue to be released regardless of their video content, right?
I can't say for sure, but I feel like the main reason for the break is the amount of qc issues they were having paired with the backlash, and probably less than stellar sales. The break between Cosmic Fury and the Reboot just happened to be convenient timing. If/when they come back, i'm sure there will be a push to make the reboot team a sort of new face for a new era, but I would be SHOCKED if they didn't continue to make MMPR merch as the closet thing this franchise has to a guaranteed sale.
@@DosmRider Even if previous Power Rangers titles were to be released, I think it would only be ``Mighty Morphin.'' In fact, most of the other products didn't sell well enough to justify deep discounts. So I think it's best not to expect commercialization before the reboot.
Complaints are a message to the company that the quality of the products is not good enough. The complaints mean that people actually want to buy the products, but they are not going to put up with garbage. Hasbro NEEDS to respect the fans, collectors, and customers by producing good quality products.
since this is Power Rangers related I’d love for them to do Ranger Sentries for figures of the original team like Pterodactyl Sentry, Tyrannosaurus Sentry Mastodon Sentry, SaberTooth Sentry and a reimagined Triceratops Sentry and a sixth as well I’d love to see a Dragon Sentry happen I’ve mentioned this in my last video from 2 years ago about adapting the Super Sentai toys instead of the series like the figures morphers and zords I’d love to see them do Super Sentai lightning figures like the Dairanger/Squadron Ranger figures I’d love to get my hands on a Green Squadron Ranger lightning figure
=GASP-! $250 for a light sabre from Star Wars? The lighted blade probably doesn't even feel warm! For that kind of money I'd want something that could at least melt butter!
most likely not coming back until after the reboot and only if hasbro makes a new contract with toei to continue using the ranger, weapons, zords and monster designs in the toys, that is, if hasbro even wants to make a new contract with toei, the contract that hasbro inherited from saban ended when cosmic fury ended, so they would need to make a new contract for the toys, and yes, it would only be for the toys because with the reboot hasbro is making power rangers 100% original and not using anything from super sentai ever again, which means that past powers weapons, zords and monsters from super sentai will never be in the shows, specials or movies ever again
Pretty sure anything that aired in the Power Rangers universe, Hasbro can use under the current deal. New Rangers, Zords, weapons and other property from Sentai would require a new deal. Hasbro owns Power Rangers. It's not leasing it like Sony is with Spider-Man.
@maxlee8780 all the past stuff was licensed from toei, except the new original ranger suits in cosmic fury, every else was licensed from toei, because the contract ended, hasbro isn't allowed to use them ever again unless they make a new deal with toei so they can continue using the super sentai stuff in regards to the toys, comics and games, but they will never use anything from super sentai ever again in shows, movies or specials
@terrysyvertson9205 okay I do know that the deal doesn't end just because the show aired. They have the rights to everything that was produced before Ryusolger. Which is why they didn't have to go back to Toei to talk to them about once and always. Did you not hear Simon Bennett say They will always have a relationship with Toei?
@maxlee8780 the contract that hasbro inherited from saban ran out after cosmic fury, so they would have to make a new deal with toei to continue using the super sentai designs for toys, games and comics, they are not going to use anything from super sentai in the shows ever again, they are going to have everything 100% original and never use anything from super sentai ever again in shows, specials or movies, they will only keep a business relationship with toei so they can continue using designs from super sentai in the toys, games and comics only and maybe get toei's help making 100% original suits, weapons, zords and monsters
It's not coming back. This was a nostalgia toy line and Hasbro already exhausted all the popular seasons. The Zordon era was almost complete, and the line obviously was appealing to older fans who target older seasons. Do we really think they are going to come back and finish teams they started 1 or 2 years ago? Do we think Hasbro will really make money by reviving the line with only Disney and Neo-Saban left to make? I really doubt it. I own nearly the entire line, and I want it to continue. That said, I'm absolutely not holding my breath.
Every time I hear someone call Power Rangers/Sentai a "glorified toy commercial," I think about how much a stop motion animated reboot would be amazing
I think they will come back and im sure they are aware of the incomplete teams. Wild Force, time force, turbo, lightspeed and rpm. Hopefully when they also start doing ninja storm. That will be the end of the lightning collection for me since im doing mmpr to spd aka 1993 to 2005
When the LC returns, if the LC returns, guarantee one of the first figures will be Remastered Classic MMPR White. The LC started with a White Ranger figure, it makes sense when it returns after a hiatus, they'd kick it off with a White MMPR again - and they'd tell you that's why they are doing it, too - and it'd work. They'd naturally also call it out as "finishing what we started when the LC went onto hiatus" in regards to the Remastered MMPR range. As for the rest of the range, probably a figure or two from whatever the new Power Rangers reboot is. It'll honestly probably be a reimagined MMPR itself too, but they could get away with it if they do, say, Stegosaurus instead of Mastadon, and/or Raptor instead of Sabre-Tooth Tiger for the reboot as some potential obvious examples. Especially if the new suits are very reminiscent of the classic MMPR suits. You know replacing the non-dinosaurs from MMPR with actual dinosaurs this time around (except Dragon, they'll defo keep that), and then doing _them_ for a new LC range, you know, essentially "look, brand new MMPR Rangers!"; Enabling them to focus on MMPR without making the new LC range figures being exactly the same as the ones from the waves directly prior. Then for a fourth and/or fifth final figure, a Cosmic Fury Ranger, while it's still the most recent PR series before the reboot and potentially still recognisable as people "catch up with what's been going on with PR" in preparation for the reboot, and another "finishing what we started" as only half the Dino Fury Rangers made it to LC before the hiatus, they can at least complete the civilian personas, if not that specific power set, as they are shared between Dino & Cosmic Fury (even if the two likely to be most popular - Dark Ranger Ollie and Zenith Ranger Zayto are actually already both represented, if not with those powers). Then additionally/alternatively maybe a Remastered Zedd due to the potential for cross-appeal between recent Cosmic Fury fans, classical MMPR fans, and potentially the probably MMPR-too reboot itself fans. Not too different from us getting a Remastered Rita around Once & Always release (aswell as Minotaur and Snizzard), even if the lack of a Metal Rita head-swap in that was a totally missed opportunity by Hasbro.
@@ゆるキャラ好きな人 For the mainstream marketing yes, probably. But for stuff revealed at things like PulseCon, well only your dedicated fans watch things like that, your collectors, and they're not going to ever forget the show's legacy. Despite all their questionable decisions at times, Hasbro are smart enough to realise that. I'm sure they'll continue to provide for what they see as a more niche audience in this regard, when the line comes back, as they have done in the past. But that stuff is always smaller scale more targeting marketing. I mean if we still got the Omega Rangers, of all things, as literally the most recent LC thing, then by comparison classic MMPR and even Cosmic Fury are much safer.
Dosm, call me crazy, but if they've got to bring the lightning collection back within a year or so after the hiatus, and they have to reset with Mighty morphin.. give us what we need to fill out the remainder of Mighty Morphin for displays. A moderately priced squat and Baboo two pack and take a lesson from Super 7 and give us bulk and skull figures. They've had the franchise for 5 years, they're popular characters and they deserve good figures that aren't 50 plus dollars. Also, Rito! Zapp was a great idea in concept, but it's just too pricey for 7 out of 10 megazords. Also, even if they're lightning collection isn't going to do it, the basic figure line from Hasbro should probably have some Cosmic Fury figures with the lineup with Billy and hekyll.
i wonder if they might try expand zord link to previous teams as they had more solid connections points they the zap while they figure out the connection problems of the zap zords as i heard many had pegs break.
I dont' think there was a problem with the molding of the figures.
The problem was with the quality of the plastic used.
They also didn't have window boxes so they could at least do basic visual quality control at the factory.
Wasn't this already uploaded 😊
yes
He got to milk the speculation for views because power rangers is dead.
That’s what I was thinking too, that I had already watched this video before. Maybe there was an update? Or an issue/reason to repost?
@@jamesstone404 no update. Just speculation of when we will see lightning collection returning.

ninja storm fs
Hasbro would be stupid to not bring it back within a year or two.
Which means that the possibility of seeing it again is up in the air.

They need to finish Wild Force and Ninja Storm. These two shows are so popular in Asia. Stop focusing on Mighty Morphin...
We desperately need Zap Shogun, and zeo zords (entire line). As far as rangers go, turbo desperately needs to be finished.
I hope so Hasbro needs to deliver to the Ranger Nation wazzup wazzup
When it returns it'll be 30 dollars with no weapons. Just fists and off rendered heads.
