Your customization videos are very inspiring. If it weren't for this channel, I would've skipped on so many Lightning figures due to the lack of paint.
I wish the Phantom Ranger came with his real laser weapon that looks like it had bat wings on both sides that he used in episode One Last Hope when he was with the Rangers underground firing at a wall to get through.
That Eyeguy mod looks amazing! The paint really shows of the details! I wish there were decals for the eyes without irises. Once I saw the toy feature on the old Bandai Phantom Ranger I thought it was missing from this one. Thank you for clearing that up Bruno!
That was another awesome video guys, love that this video came out when I'm repainting my lightning collection monsters. Great repaint on eye guy I will definitely be doing that to mine 😀
Other than the inconsistencies in the Phantom Ranger, I love him anyway because he’s one of my favorite rangers, and some of the stuff that can be fixed can be fixed by me, or the buyer. Which I enjoy doing! #TeamBruno #TeamMia #TeamJerry
Eye Guy IS looking good. Awesome job and thanks for the fun behind the scenes stuff, plus all the PR nerd talk 😀🤙 Hope you're all doing well. Take care. -AJ
Great work on the paint job Bruno! I have to say Hasbro should be able to handle a simple thing such as details. They have the means and resources. Lightning collection has a wide array of awesome figures, but the monsters tend to get neglected more often than not.
I see a lot of people pointing out they got the notification and yup me too if that helps. Then again I always do on my phone anyway. I'd already seen the picture but man it's truly amazing what a difference that paint makes to the figure. Might actually tempt me to try painting a figure for the first time.
My hope is they really want Turbo to start off with a Turbo ranger and Phantom is like getting a head start on interest/accessories. I assume trying to replicate Phantom Rangers weapon from Turbo would probably be difficult. I assume they cobbled together stuff and painted it black for a 2 second scene. Did the prop even survive the day of shooting? Magna Defender.....they were saving costs on that one. As to rights issues with Turbo. I feel Hasbro would have worked that out when they purchased the brand. That Saban would have worked it out when PR got sold to Disney and when Disney sold it back to Saban. Even popularity, I would think Hasbro wouldn't be scared of the name after all this time and various shows with a different kind of reputation(for the show and cast).
Talk about perfect timing with the Phantom Ranger. The Power Rangers' UA-cam just finished posting all of Power Rangers Turbo and just posted 11 episodes of Power Rangers in Space, one is with the Phantom Ranger.
Mia was just noticing the interesting timing of that. I wonder if they are trying to post videos in relation to toy releases...? I haven't really been keeping up 100% with everything they post over there, but I did happen to notice that. I wanted to verify something after I posted my video, and the very next day they'd uploaded that episode.
@@MMPRtoys It was just pure timing. Even since Netflix stop streaming the old seasons of Power Rangers, their UA-cam has been posting them. They post 11 episodes every Friday.
I really wish we saw the Phantom Laser more than the one time in the tunnel (unless im wrong)...I really wanna build the prop. It looks like they made it from an old batboat or batwing toy.
RIght? Totally reminds me of a Batman thing, and cool looking! That was the only time he fired anything in Turbo. I wonder if my friend Edgar ever came across it... (I've never seen it in person)
I’ve been a fan of you since 2015 I really like your videos you sure there really doesn’t matter how old you are you can still love something even when you were still a child I grew up watching Power Rangers I respect what you do I like all your videos keep up the good work I’m a big fan
Leo broken helmet is one of my favorite moments in all of PR! I would pay for a third Leo release to get battle damaged/battelizer of Leo. Hope they get to it one day
If they want to do a battleizer, that would be a good helmet, or a 2 pack with green Trakeena. Or if they wanted to be a little less evil, find some way to include it in a release that didn't make fans buy a third version of the same figure. Oh... there's also Lights of Orion... I'd also be up for a set of them. C'mon Hasbro, back to Lost Galaxy!
@@MMPRtoys I would buy just about anything lost Galaxy. A Magna defender Treacheron two pack(with a mile civilian head please!!!), lights of Orion 5 pack, the trakeena green vs battelizer Leo. This is getting real deep but would love Captain Mutiny, Deviot, and villamax too. Hopefully we see hasbro give other seasons like lost galaxy love soon!!!
Eye Guy still hasn't arrived for me yet. Same with In Space Phantom Ranger and Pink Ranger, Dino Charge Green, and Zeo Yellow, but I will say your paint job on Eye Guy makes me wish Todd McFarlane did Power Rangers figures. Since his paint jobs tend to be really good compared to his prices.
@@MMPRtoys IKR?! One of the managers at my local Gamestop(formally EB Games), has commented on the terrible paint jobs of Marvel Legends characters. So much to the point where he stopped buying them. And when you can make your Eye Guy look that good just from paint, It makes me doubt Hasbro as a company. Especially when they neglected the black outline around the visor of Dino Thunder White Ranger.
I remember Ecliptor killing off Phantom Ranger in the final episodes of In Space, he is an interesting character so whoever is in charge of the lightning collection series probably wanted him to be released but didn’t want to commit to releasing the Turbo series so they just added him in the In Space series where he did feature in a few episodes.
The paint made a big difference with eye guy Bruno, ( not going to get him though mostly because it would always feel like I was being watched) I would hope that they would get to turbo soon ( no clue how they would do Justin though) also please make nerd talk a thing on the channel I would definitely watch it
I'm finally old enough where every so often I have to actually look at a DVD to verify something (but I'm still pretty good). Back in my Wild Force days, I was really good. Jonathan, the producer, had nicknamed me "The Power Rangers Encyclopedia." Any time someone had a question about a past season, "Ask Bruno." 😁
Well, Power Ranger toys were sold at Toys R Us, in 1997. You could find them at Target, Kmart, KB Toys, FAO Schwarz, Caldor, Bradley's, Walmart, Fred Meyer, all of those good places. Most of my toys I bought during the season at my local stores. I'll say my Turbo Navigator came from Toys R Us... if not KB. 25 years ago. The gun is from Carranger, so, I'm going to guess if not eBay, then I got it at PMC or Robo Toy Fest. I see I have two Carranger blasters, both of which have damage to them. That looks like something I bought cheap at a con.
I Was just reading Power Rangers Unlimited and although the comic itself uses the correct colors for the Phantom Rangers Helmet, there is a cover art with him that has the part above his visor colored Silver. So I guess it was not just a mistake for the figure Edit: He also does the blast thing from his chest in the comic
I haven't been doing much with these, but I did spend some times painting the PR movie Megazord, Lion Fortress, some of the Dino Charge bad guys... I remember Curio's legs taking a while...
wow the paint job make the eye monster so much more screen accurate it look so good so much more like monster XD Personnaly I think that hasbro put the phantom rangers with in space because they don't gonna do turbo any soon, when you look at the lightning collection they have done the 2 team before and after turbo, maybe turbo isn't really well love so they do other team before. Like that they don't sell a caracter that isn't 'part' of a team.
I don't know. The releases are all over, and inconsistent. Lots of MMPR, just now completing ZEO, Phantom from Turbo, lots of figures for In Space. They started Lost Galaxy with three figures... and then nothing. Nothing for Lightspeed. We got Wes for Time Force, and nothing else. Time Force was very popular. Now we're on to Wild Force, with Lunar Wolf. Nothing from Ninja Storm. Three Dino Thunders (yet no Tommy? 😲 - yet, anyway) Look at all of the SPD stuff! ...what happened to yellow though? Zero Mystic Force. Zero Overdrive. Zero Jungle Fury. Zero Samurai. Zero Mega/Super Megaforce. Dino Charge is slowly coming together. Zero Ninja Steel. They did Beast Morphers during Beast Morphers, but now years later still no yellow/silver? But now we're starting Dino Fury. They're just kinda all over the place. Turbo's just another season they haven't really gotten to, yet. I imagine we'll keep seeing new teams and new figures for existing teams.
@@skeulllem850 I'm always excited for more new teams, but I'm realizing lately just how many people really never made it past MMPR. I'm surprised by how many people didn't even know the Phantom Ranger. I was talking to a guy earlier today who was telling me after 1999 the show got to childish for him.. ?!? So... Lightspeed, Time Force, Wild Force... the show had really grown up with its audience by that time, and those seasons had some of the darker scenes of Power Rangers. Lots of great Disney seasons too. And RPM being among the most adult-friendly Power Ranger seasons. I don't know. A lot of fans just lose interest after a certain time and then can't watch another season. They believe the show was only great until they stopped watching, and then nothing else could be good. For many fans, that was the first season. (Also just heard from a guy, huge MMPR fan, seen every episode, had no idea Jason was replaced as red ranger...) So, that's why it was MMPR MMPR MMPR with Saban and Bandai, and now Hasbro. They know what people watch & buy. So many great other seasons, it is a shame.
@@MMPRtoys yeah I totaly understand that nostalgia is a powerful commercial factor, but I was born in 2002 and my power rangers childhood is disney era for the mort part and I feel like we see to much mmpr will we have other great team or megazord and not only with disney I like time force or lightning rescue. I hope they will look larger with the lightning collection. At one point they will have done all they can do with mmpr 😆😆 (btw excuse me if I made mistake in my sentence, it's because I'm french 😆 and thank you for all your videos they are so cool and your animation are incredible !)
I kind of want them to do the battle damaged helmets as our alternate heads over the civilian head when we really get to rangers that had those moments, not familiar with PR enough to name specific rangers though
I don’t understand why you’re not on the payroll for all these PR toy divisions. You could save them a whole lot of time, money & face by finding all the faults once they finish digital designs before going to production. Ay ay yiiii!
I wouldn't want to actually work at the company, but if they wanted to hire me as a freelance consultant, I'd be happy to do that. I did it a few times for Saban and for the PR DVD project at Shout! Factory (and also attended a number of meetings with Bandai when we still lived in CA).
Glad to see that you're still don't the Power Ranger toys!! I've been wondering if you were still doing it because it's been awhile since I watched. Guess UA-cam be bugging lol. Time to binge watch!! I don't even know where I even left off
I love the video but when I was a little kid I used to be scared of that monster because I don't like looking at things with eyeballs that's when I screamed me out sometimes
An eyeball monster should be the least scary, you could just poke him in the eye and he'll go away! ;) (I wouldn't want to be an eyeball monster, ouch!)
I saw a random theory online saying something along the lines of Disney still owning the rights to Turbo for the most part. Resulting in Hasbro hastily calling Phantom Ranger a In Space character to prevent them from paying Disney. But for now it appears to be mostly a wild theory. My wild theory is that Hasbro is aware that Turbo isn’t exactly a well liked season. So they call him a character from a more well liked season. Maybe that’s why there’s no Turbo figures in the Lightning Collection yet. And that Eye Guy is definitely improved by the black wash. I’d go for painting the lids in a off-white first before hand. But the wash alone still works great. All it’s missing are the few unpainted eyes needing pupils.
Eye Guy is tricky. They've used different plastic in different areas, and the main body is very glossy. Things don't want to stick. Yeah, there are ways to fix that, but if you're trying not to make it a big project, he's a little bit of a pain. All of the eyes I tried to paint/marker in have rubbed off. I'm still workin' on him. He was my test-Eye-Guy. Some figures I have spent a decent amount of time on, I was trying to get away with just black paint for him and keeping the eyes clean. As for fan theories... man. I've been actively part of the PR community for a while now, and (as I'm sure is true with lots of fandoms...) people like to just make things up. And for reasons I don't understand, the more untrue something is, the more it seems to spread and the more people seem to believe it. While I can't disprove that specific theory yet... I'm calling BS. If Hasbro can make characters from a season owed by Disney, still call them "Power Rangers" and have them look the same, but just change the name and be okay... well, there's their fix. So, bring out the Carrangers. Or Turborangers. Or Super Megaforce Car Powers-Rangers. People say the same about the movie, yet here come Ninjetti figures and Tengas. Had Hasbro called them Tengu instead of Tenga they'd have to pay? Hasbro works with DIsney. Marvel & Star Wars are Disney. I'm sure they could make a deal to release movie/Turbo figures. I'm sure we all remember when Shinkenger could never come over due to being "too Japanese" and Goseiger being "too religious." (I can't remember the one for Gokaiger but there was a reason that couldn't come over too). I really don't believe Disney has control over the TV series. I don't know what the story is with the movie, but Bandai did original movie figures in 2015/16ish. If Bandai can do it, I'm sure Hasbro can. We'll see. But, those are my thoughts on that.
@@MMPRtoys Hey Bruno, how did you solve the paint problem with with figure? Did you mix it with something to get it to stick, or did you just add a ton more? It looks fantastic. And as far as turbo goes, the movie suits were technically different than the series, if that weird Disney theory was true. They didn't have the shoulder triangles in the movie.
Darn, I should've gone for Patreon instead... I actually do like processes like painting and scene building. It's so very appealing. Nerd Talk Title sequence was fantastic. 🤣
I'll post some video things for members too. And with Patreon, the videos are always there, if you did become a member for a month, everything we've posted so far would be available.
Thanks Bruno! I know there's quite a backlog of previous stuff I can start with. I may make a playlist of that too. 😁 Also, any thoughts on electro-brighting yellowed plastics? Would that question be better in a different social media platform as well? Thanks again for your documenting your projects behind-the-scenes and finished!
@@UlrenvorgEscaflownex That's the one thing I've never successfully done. And did try last year and didn't see any results. I'll try again in the summer. I think I need sun for that...
Oh!!! So there's a UA-camr, Odd Tinkering, who does a lot of electronic restoration but includes some old toys as well. In the second channel, Odd Experiments, he gives a rundown on the retrobrighting process: ua-cam.com/video/jdWRsjnVD3s/v-deo.html (not electrobrighting, as I thought it was. My mistake!) I hope this helps!
Too many great seasons. Mia says, "Oh you always just default to Wild Force!" Well, that is a fantastic season, they don't make 'em like that anymore! But every season from In Space to Wild Force was fantastic. Turbo gets a lot of hate, but actually had a lot of good things going on in that season, and a few really great episodes and amazing finale. Gotta love the original MMPR, also loved ZEO. Gold Ranger's appearance is still one of the greatest ranger intros of all time. Then Disney had a bunch of great seasons too... Mia votes for Dino Thunder, that fight with Tommy & Elsa in front of the school as civilians was friggin brilliant. Oh, she added maybe not her favorite overall, but did enjoy it and still loves that sequence. (Also loved Mystic Force, SPD, Ninja Storm, Jungle Fury...) Ninja Steel is not my favorite.
@@MMPRtoys I might be a bit biase but one of my favourites is Power rangers Samurai since it was my first Power Rangers and I had all the toys and a costume. I look back at it now and just like the nostalgia, especially watching the RPM and Samurai cross overs. I am currently binging MMPR and I feel like this could be coming close to my favorite. SPD, dino thunder, in space, mega force and super mega force, RPM, Zeo just to name a few are also up there for me.
@@yousifal-jawad7677 Samurai had a very cinematic feel to it. Pink Ranger was also named after Mia, so, we have our little connection to Samurai. Pink Ranger's name was originally going to be Sadie.
Depending on what you're painting and what paint you're using, that can ruin a figure. What I'm doing is zero danger. Look at how many figures I've done over the years. Eye Guy was dry and posed for this video, I certainly would have noticed such an issue before the video was posted. Now, if you tried to spray paint a model kit, if you spray parts that fit tightly together and need to twist for posing, you'll likely break the piece when you try to move it.
@@hurricaneparro2464 Well, probably not surprising that I strongly disagree with that. The difference is night and day. He absolutely needs it. The Hasbro Eye Guy doesn't even have as much paint as the original $5 main line Bandai figure (which also had an action feature). That's part of the LC, having "premium deco." No paint is not how I describe "premium deco" at a $33 price point. I included reference footage so you can see he indeed has that black on him in the show. The figure really looks cheap and unfinished w/o it.
To be fair, the same could be asked of Alien Rangers, Lightspeed, Ninja Storm, Mystic Force, Overdrive, Jungle Fury, RPM, Samurai, Megaforce, Super Megaforce, and Ninja Steel. And we could ask where the rest of Lost Galaxy, Time Force, Wild Force, Dino Thunder, Dino Charge, Beast Morphers, Dino Fury, and the BOOM Comics are. My guess is b/c the figures are $20+ a piece, nearly 30 years of figures, and Hasbro has only had the brand for a few years with new things constantly coming out. If they released every character ever, all at once, it would probably be cheaper to just buy a house. So, over time I expect to see more teams.
Your customization videos are very inspiring. If it weren't for this channel, I would've skipped on so many Lightning figures due to the lack of paint.
Why does Phantom Ranger say In Space?
Gosei: There’s a simple explanation for that
I may be 32 years old grown man but I love Bruno and Mia’s video! Keep up the great work! Brings me back to my childhood
Another great vid,looking forward to more eyeguy updates on patreon,it looks wicked,you&mia really do go above&beyond in this channel 👌
Nerd Talk needs to be its own video! I'd watch that every week haha
Bruno & Mia are great people and great ambassadors for the PR brand.
I wish the Phantom Ranger came with his real laser weapon that looks like it had bat wings on both sides that he used in episode One Last Hope when he was with the Rangers underground firing at a wall to get through.
Eye guy looks so good with a little bit of paint!
That Eyeguy mod looks amazing! The paint really shows of the details!
I wish there were decals for the eyes without irises.
Once I saw the toy feature on the old Bandai Phantom Ranger I thought it was missing from this one. Thank you for clearing that up Bruno!
Love the painted you did on Eye 👁 guy immediately just as I see the video
LOVE LOVE watching you customize your figures and shelves. He looks awesome.
Hasbros grade A with sculpting consistently however their paint is what suffers usually in their lines
Ick...
I never realized the big eye was his mouth. He's a lot creepier now.
Great video, as always.
That was another awesome video guys, love that this video came out when I'm repainting my lightning collection monsters. Great repaint on eye guy I will definitely be doing that to mine 😀
Other than the inconsistencies in the Phantom Ranger, I love him anyway because he’s one of my favorite rangers, and some of the stuff that can be fixed can be fixed by me, or the buyer. Which I enjoy doing! #TeamBruno #TeamMia #TeamJerry
EyeGuy looks like a great figure but I will say that you made it better with the extra paint.

Hope you're all doing well.
Take care.

Nice job on Eye Guy Bruno, it looks much better than before.
Thanks!
Your Eye Guy figure looks pretty awesome Bruno.
Thanks!
Great work on the paint job Bruno!
I have to say Hasbro should be able to handle a simple thing such as details. They have the means and resources.
Lightning collection has a wide array of awesome figures, but the monsters tend to get neglected more often than not.
They cover up the holes for the knee and elbow joints and instead put a hole in the middle of his chest.
haha true!
Soooo.... a Bruno and Mia podcast once every other week or once a month when?

I wouldn't want to actually work at the company, but if they wanted to hire me as a freelance consultant, I'd be happy to do that. I did it a few times for Saban and for the PR DVD project at Shout! Factory (and also attended a number of meetings with Bandai when we still lived in CA).
Glad to see that you're still don't the Power Ranger toys!! I've been wondering if you were still doing it because it's been awhile since I watched. Guess UA-cam be bugging lol. Time to binge watch!! I don't even know where I even left off
I love the video but when I was a little kid I used to be scared of that monster because I don't like looking at things with eyeballs that's when I screamed me out sometimes
An eyeball monster should be the least scary, you could just poke him in the eye and he'll go away! ;) (I wouldn't want to be an eyeball monster, ouch!)
I saw a random theory online saying something along the lines of Disney still owning the rights to Turbo for the most part. Resulting in Hasbro hastily calling Phantom Ranger a In Space character to prevent them from paying Disney. But for now it appears to be mostly a wild theory.
My wild theory is that Hasbro is aware that Turbo isn’t exactly a well liked season. So they call him a character from a more well liked season. Maybe that’s why there’s no Turbo figures in the Lightning Collection yet.
And that Eye Guy is definitely improved by the black wash. I’d go for painting the lids in a off-white first before hand. But the wash alone still works great. All it’s missing are the few unpainted eyes needing pupils.
Eye Guy is tricky. They've used different plastic in different areas, and the main body is very glossy. Things don't want to stick. Yeah, there are ways to fix that, but if you're trying not to make it a big project, he's a little bit of a pain. All of the eyes I tried to paint/marker in have rubbed off. I'm still workin' on him. He was my test-Eye-Guy. Some figures I have spent a decent amount of time on, I was trying to get away with just black paint for him and keeping the eyes clean.
As for fan theories... man. I've been actively part of the PR community for a while now, and (as I'm sure is true with lots of fandoms...) people like to just make things up. And for reasons I don't understand, the more untrue something is, the more it seems to spread and the more people seem to believe it. While I can't disprove that specific theory yet... I'm calling BS. If Hasbro can make characters from a season owed by Disney, still call them "Power Rangers" and have them look the same, but just change the name and be okay... well, there's their fix. So, bring out the Carrangers. Or Turborangers. Or Super Megaforce Car Powers-Rangers. People say the same about the movie, yet here come Ninjetti figures and Tengas. Had Hasbro called them Tengu instead of Tenga they'd have to pay? Hasbro works with DIsney. Marvel & Star Wars are Disney. I'm sure they could make a deal to release movie/Turbo figures.
I'm sure we all remember when Shinkenger could never come over due to being "too Japanese" and Goseiger being "too religious." (I can't remember the one for Gokaiger but there was a reason that couldn't come over too). I really don't believe Disney has control over the TV series. I don't know what the story is with the movie, but Bandai did original movie figures in 2015/16ish. If Bandai can do it, I'm sure Hasbro can. We'll see. But, those are my thoughts on that.
@@MMPRtoys Hey Bruno, how did you solve the paint problem with with figure? Did you mix it with something to get it to stick, or did you just add a ton more? It looks fantastic. And as far as turbo goes, the movie suits were technically different than the series, if that weird Disney theory was true. They didn't have the shoulder triangles in the movie.
Nice shirt and figures.
Isn’t the Platinum Ranger in Turbo👀 Cause I got very confused about that
Eye guy looks awesome!
looks good
i use jet black for the dry brush on my monster figures
You should make your own toys as your merch (I think I spelled it wrong???)
Just been notified by youtube of this video fourth to comment 🤪
UA-cam notified?? 😲
👁 👁 👁 👁 EYE SEE YOU 👁 👁 👁 👁
Not a big deal but still want to see someone review his "megazord".
Huh? What Megazord? Why is it in quotes? That seems like it's somehow dirty... 😛Nobody will be reviewing my "Megazord."
Darn, I should've gone for Patreon instead... I actually do like processes like painting and scene building. It's so very appealing. Nerd Talk Title sequence was fantastic. 🤣
I'll post some video things for members too. And with Patreon, the videos are always there, if you did become a member for a month, everything we've posted so far would be available.
Thanks Bruno! I know there's quite a backlog of previous stuff I can start with. I may make a playlist of that too. 😁 Also, any thoughts on electro-brighting yellowed plastics? Would that question be better in a different social media platform as well? Thanks again for your documenting your projects behind-the-scenes and finished!
@@UlrenvorgEscaflownex That's the one thing I've never successfully done. And did try last year and didn't see any results. I'll try again in the summer. I think I need sun for that...
Oh!!! So there's a UA-camr, Odd Tinkering, who does a lot of electronic restoration but includes some old toys as well. In the second channel, Odd Experiments, he gives a rundown on the retrobrighting process: ua-cam.com/video/jdWRsjnVD3s/v-deo.html (not electrobrighting, as I thought it was. My mistake!) I hope this helps!
I painted the blank eyes with a gundam marker and no one could tell
Looks good and not rubbing off? I've tried several things on the eyes and they've all rubbed off so far 😕
i love this paint job :D
My collection will be all Red Rangers forever
Good morning y’all
Eyeguy was my favorite of Rita's monsters. Nice job with the painting. I have mine on the way and I'm debating on how to go about doing a blackwash.
Bruno what is your favourite Power Rangers series?🤔🤔🤔
Too many great seasons. Mia says, "Oh you always just default to Wild Force!" Well, that is a fantastic season, they don't make 'em like that anymore! But every season from In Space to Wild Force was fantastic. Turbo gets a lot of hate, but actually had a lot of good things going on in that season, and a few really great episodes and amazing finale. Gotta love the original MMPR, also loved ZEO. Gold Ranger's appearance is still one of the greatest ranger intros of all time. Then Disney had a bunch of great seasons too...
Mia votes for Dino Thunder, that fight with Tommy & Elsa in front of the school as civilians was friggin brilliant. Oh, she added maybe not her favorite overall, but did enjoy it and still loves that sequence. (Also loved Mystic Force, SPD, Ninja Storm, Jungle Fury...)
Ninja Steel is not my favorite.
@@MMPRtoys I might be a bit biase but one of my favourites is Power rangers Samurai since it was my first Power Rangers and I had all the toys and a costume. I look back at it now and just like the nostalgia, especially watching the RPM and Samurai cross overs. I am currently binging MMPR and I feel like this could be coming close to my favorite. SPD, dino thunder, in space, mega force and super mega force, RPM, Zeo just to name a few are also up there for me.
@@yousifal-jawad7677 Samurai had a very cinematic feel to it. Pink Ranger was also named after Mia, so, we have our little connection to Samurai. Pink Ranger's name was originally going to be Sadie.
@@MMPRtoys maybe they should make a Power Ranger named Bruno🤔🤔
Man I didn't get a notification also positivity 7?
Ps team battle damage characters lol
Cool 😎
Can we get a “nerd talk” t-shirt? 😁
If you don't disassemble him first, won't the paint make the joints stick together?
Depending on what you're painting and what paint you're using, that can ruin a figure. What I'm doing is zero danger. Look at how many figures I've done over the years. Eye Guy was dry and posed for this video, I certainly would have noticed such an issue before the video was posted. Now, if you tried to spray paint a model kit, if you spray parts that fit tightly together and need to twist for posing, you'll likely break the piece when you try to move it.
@@MMPRtoys Okay cool. I'm not familiar with figure customization, but I do have an interest in it. Guess there's a lot for me to learn Lol.
Hi
I still need to pick up the Phantom ranger also why’d you kill Eyeguy right after painting him 😭
Hey, he was still a monster! He was causing all sorts of trouble, he had to go.
Ninja Seel is funny Bruno
Goooooo, Nin-ja Steel!
It don’t need to tbh
What don't need?
@@MMPRtoys Paint
@@hurricaneparro2464 Well, probably not surprising that I strongly disagree with that. The difference is night and day. He absolutely needs it. The Hasbro Eye Guy doesn't even have as much paint as the original $5 main line Bandai figure (which also had an action feature). That's part of the LC, having "premium deco." No paint is not how I describe "premium deco" at a $33 price point. I included reference footage so you can see he indeed has that black on him in the show. The figure really looks cheap and unfinished w/o it.
Why don't they put anything out for turbo ?
To be fair, the same could be asked of Alien Rangers, Lightspeed, Ninja Storm, Mystic Force, Overdrive, Jungle Fury, RPM, Samurai, Megaforce, Super Megaforce, and Ninja Steel. And we could ask where the rest of Lost Galaxy, Time Force, Wild Force, Dino Thunder, Dino Charge, Beast Morphers, Dino Fury, and the BOOM Comics are. My guess is b/c the figures are $20+ a piece, nearly 30 years of figures, and Hasbro has only had the brand for a few years with new things constantly coming out. If they released every character ever, all at once, it would probably be cheaper to just buy a house. So, over time I expect to see more teams.
This thing is horrifying
Nerd talk lol 😂
