"And here we have a pokemon stadium~"
ahahahh pokemon collector should buy this ahahah
@@specterviiyt5579 h
Two things I noticed when I got mine:
1: you can actually remove the coins without opening it. There is just enough clearance for the tabs to come out.
2: the tabs seem to have been a necessary evil in this case. The switches inside are lever switches rather than push buttons, which might have taken more space.
I'm quite happy with this one, both because it's lighter and because it fits in the buckle better. Too bad this one doesn't lock in backwards, but it's not a big deal to me since they don't show it that way in PR anyway.
That's bad for me, the fact that the new one can't be locked backwards makes it not Sentai accurate at all, you know, the Zyurangers wear them like that when they're not transformed. So putting Zyuranger labels on it won't make it accurate enough. 😔
I prefer the Legacy morpher over the Lightning Morpher as Legacy is TV accurate such as how it was used in PR Beast Morphers as Jason as flips the Legacy Morpher coin and morphs with the other rangers. The Legacy version was also used as a prop in Power Rangers Legacy Wars by Tommy and Ryu.
The Lightning morpher is basically a fun kid’s toy which has many inaccuracies such as how the morpher is too bulky, the PR logo is too thin, and how there’s a big gap around the coin and morpher. The electronic features are pretty good but I wouldn’t spend $50 on it.
@@MarkyMarc89 The lightning collection version is supposed to replicate the 1991 Zyuranger Dino Buckler and 1993 Mighty Morphin' Power Morpher. Imo I find the lightning collection one more superior since the legacy one is far too heavy and the coins do tend to slip out if you're not careful.
@@GenGamesUniversebut the legacy morpher is show accurate to all the mighty morphin power rangers that have returned Tommy’s master morpher was made out of a legacy morpher Jason used the legacy morpher in beast morphers the once and always morpher is the legacy morpher it says something about hasbro’s morpher if they won’t even put it on the show
The Legacy Morpher is a TV accurate prop. This is just a kid’s toy as it’s way too bulky compared to the ‘93 morpher _(which I have and was used in the show)_ there are big gaps between the coin and morpher, and the power ranger logo is also way too thin than the original version. The Legacy Morpher was used as a prop in PR Beast Morphers as Jason flipped the Legacy Power Coin and morphed with Rangers from other seasons. Tommy and Ryu also used the Legacy Morpher as a prop when morphing in Power Rangers Legacy Wars. Study this video *CLOSELY* _(pausing it continuously esp. around __0:06__-__0:07__ and __0:09__)_ to see Hasbro’s inaccuracies compared to Bandai’s: m.ua-cam.com/video/FKYPgrykZxI/v-deo.html
VERY TRUE! ‘93 and the Legacy versions are so much better. I bought mine 2 weeks ago and one week later it kept reading 3 of power coins differently such as how triceratops kept saying mastodon and most of the time with the power coins in the morpher it kept making the static sound as if there are no coins. I now have to press the coin that’s in the morpher and press the button at the same time for it to work properly. This is definitely not worth wasting $50 on.
I missed out on the original legacy release. I'm just hoping that Hasbro takes the feedback/criticism and makes another legacy quality release for the Dragon Dagger. With both releases from Hasbro you're paying a $20 upcharge for the stand.
The notion that kids don't have imagination anymore is bollocks. People at Hasbro be like "Lights and sound...that's a fresh gimmick that works. 😓
David White oh yeah. Hasbro’s Dragon Dagger is nothing compared to the Legacy Dragon Dagger that I bought back when Bandai owned PR made with 24 carrot gold and is more prop-like with its heavier weight. In fact, I have both the MMPR Legacy version and Super Sentai Legacy version (Zyusouken) that has the 4 accurate tunes from the Zyuranger series and comes with a much better display stand than Hasbro’s; green with a big gold Dragonzord Power Coin in the middle.
@@MarkyMarc89 If I felt I had the proper skills to repaint the pieces to a true metallic gold I might consider picking them up. Better yet electroplating the gold accents. Nothing can forgive the gaps I see where the coins rest. Legacy coins were sized up to scale while the Hasbro coins just look like they'll fall out. (Even if that was a legitamite issue with Legacy morphers at cons.
I legitimately cant stand the fact that they used the sample from the series. Would much rathered have plain dino sounds after the clang. Makes for more immersive role play. If anybody wishes to gender bend a cosplay they'll have the cast samples. -_-#
David White I agree. Not only is the morpher inaccurate, but there is more than one actor that plays as a MMPR. Dinosaur sound effects would have been better such as how it was done in the first MMPR movie: m.ua-cam.com/video/761866mi8a8/v-deo.html
Oh man, I really hope they make a In Space Morpher and Time Force, I hate that I lost them as a kid
Japan did make a artisan version of the degitaizer with the battleraizer if you are interested in picking that up. It goes for around $60-$140. The two do come as a set.
Bro, on an average how much do each of these morphers cost in present day
I have the Legacy Version so I'ma skip out on this one.
I prefer the Legacy Weathered coins. They are supposed to be Ancient, so while not accurate to either Power Rangers or even Zyuranger, it's more realistic in my opinion. I see the Legacy coins can sit in the display base, but can the Legacy Morpher... Also notice how the Hasbro morpher actually has a spot got the color sticker on the back like they were going to put the stickers on it, but then didn't...
I doubt the Legacy Morpher will fit. It's much thicker than the Lightning version, so it probably won't fit in the holster and the stand is specifically molded to the Lightning Holster.
@@buchiklop110 what do you mean the stand is specifically molded to the lightning Morpher, from what I've seen it just sits on it. It doesn't plug into anything...
@@spideymatt93 There are pegs there to keep the holder steady and upright. You can see them when Dosm tilts the stand to make his Pokémon joke.
Seriously, why doesn't this or the dragon dagger have an off switch?!
Because strictly speaking it's unnecessary. It doesn't really extend the battery life, and as long as you aren't pressing the buttons it won't do anything.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I mean, I get that it's technically not NECESSARY, but if someone is paying $60 they could at least throw in an off switch. I'm holding the dragon dagger right now, and the pommel on the end has three distinct clicks, individual tune mode, melody mode, and a third that is the exact same as the individual tune mode, they could have easily made that third click turn it off. I don't know, I guess it just seems like the cut corner.
@@thewolf8660 I personally don't see it as an important feature. Besides, for $60 you're paying half of what you did for the Legacy version before you even factor in inflation.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio the lightning power morpher is retail $50 and the legacy power morpher was retail $60. The only reason people think the legacy version was expensive on release but it was just the after market.
Every review I've seen for this morpher, no one has mentioned or noticed that the power coins can be set without opening the morpher.
its easier when its open. plus you can see the lights change better
My greatest regret in life is losing my legacy power morpher... somewhere somehow along with the mastodon power coin. Now I only have the four other coins. I'm going to have to earn a lot of money and shell out the money for a power morpher. Hopefully they rerelease it soon
Bright and Shinnyyy,
Bright and Shinnyyy,
Bright and Shinnyyyyyy!
As someone who does not have hundreds of dollars to spend buying the Legacy OOP versions I am so grateful to Lightning Collection. I got the last one on the shelf at Walmart and it is amazing. I do have the legacy Green Ranger morpher and dagger but if the morpher is as great as this I will probably own both. Now hoping for the communicators too.
It’s an ok prop/toy. Feels light and cheap. I wish you could fit the Morpher into the holster backwards so that the handle was facing out. Then you could go full Zyuranger using your Dino Buckler. Legacy Morpher is 1000 times better.
The Legacy Morpher is a tv show prop. This is just a kid’s toy as it’s way too big compared to the original ‘93 morpher _(which I have)_ the power ranger logo is too thin and there are big gaps between the coin and morpher. The Legacy Morpher was a prop used in PR Beast Morphers as Jason flipped the Legacy Power Coin and morphed with Rangers from other seasons. Tommy and Ryu also used the Legacy Morpher as a prop when morphing in Power Rangers Legacy Wars. Study this video closely _(pausing it continuously)_ to see Hasbro’s inaccuracies compared to the original version: m.ua-cam.com/video/FKYPgrykZxI/v-deo.html
I like jason coin in beast morpher where both sizes of the coin is a tyrano head
Just so you know for the red ranger, when he says Tyrannosaurus they took it from the clip from the forever red episode in Power Rangers wild force. I actually bought the more for myself so I know what I’m talking about
Oof. Those stickers for the black claw mark things look really cheap. No idea why they didn't go with paint.
Also not sure why they have that low hum at the end instead of the sound effect when Jason morphs and the camera zooms in on his helmet forming.
I display my Legacy Morphers with the back facing forward...
Because it fits better in the buckle, I'm guessing?
It always bothered me that the Legacy version has such a big gap like that. And when they showed off the prototype when it was announced, it didn't. Somewhere in the design process it was changed.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Actually I do it because I like to imagine it's like a Kamen Rider belt - just take it off the shelf, slap it onto my pants, and then do the full Zyuranger version of the transformation sequence.
@@otaking3582 This is very much a Power Rangers item and not a Sentai stand-in, compared to the Legacy version. The back of the Morpher is barely ever seen in MMPR, and never on the belt. Since this is specifically for PR fans, it's going to lack some appeal for to those who prefer Zyuranger.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio True. I might get this if I can find one at a good price, but overall there's not really much point to owning this.
Zyuranger style.
Rangers Voices is Archived Recorded from 1993 TV Series but AI Separe Sounds from Stereo.
The question is can you put it in the holster backwards and pretend you’ve got the Dino buckler too.
I would think so, it is probably symmetrical
Barely, it holds with loose friction. The backwards grip was a Zyuranger feature that isn't obligated to replicate for MMPR accuracy.
I want a Tommy one hope Hasbro actually makes the Master Morpher instead of buying and making buy BD15 collectibles with all the dragon coin tiger coin Zeo red coin turbo coin Lord Drakkon Coin dino Thunder black coin.
and Turbo
Accel Ranger I said turbo coin
And turbo
Roadhouse
@@ElbertTreble My bad. But yeah I was thinking the same thing when the Hasbro Power Morpher was announced that Hasbro should make the Master Morpher with all the coins
I want the Master Morpher, and would actually prefer that over the standard Tommy Morpher. Or, hey, have different face plates to make a 2-in-one version.
I completely forget this was coming.
Design-wise the original 93 morpher isn’t just more accurate, it’s literally what was used on screen outside of season 1 where they used the Zyuranger Dino and Dragon Bucklers. If we disregard size, design-wise the Legacy morpher is more accurate to Zyuranger, where the medals were aged and weathered and lacked tabs. It also features all the back detailing of which only the Z sticker section is accurate to PR and only during season 1, where it shouldn’t have bolts on it because they chucked the sticker sheets in the bin. That of course carries over to the Lightning morpher where it should also have no back detailing or only the Z section, but the coins are more PR accurate where they used the Japanese toys. That said the gap around the coin is inaccurate to either version. Lightning has the correct red button while the Legacy has black. The Legacy movie morpher is literally not accurate to any version of the morpher that actually appeared on screen. The holster they packed it with is just wrong, it should be mounted on a weird plate thingy with a different handle (though I appreciate you orienting it correctly in the video), almost certainly didn’t have any back detail (if it was ever even functional/removable). The front of the morpher is pretty good, though.
Actually, the Legacy Movie Morpher IS accurate to what's on screen. The colors of the claw marks matched the Ranger color, it didn't have the "Power Rangers" or "Zyuranger" labels around the coin, and they were a bit larger than the regular Morphers. However, in the movie, for whatever reason, the Rangers held them up with the holsters rather than just the morpher, making me think they were molded together rather than be separated.
@@buchiklop110 If you ignore the inaccurate holster (which was basically a chunk of colored resin in the movie with a handle), the back detailing that should be non-existent (assuming they were even using the toy and not a resin copy), the coins having the wrong finish, and possibly even opening at all (since we never actually see the morpher open in the film and the button sure wasn't easily accessible), sure, I suppose you COULD call it accurate.

I can already smell that the green ranger and white ranger morpher will be an con exclusive somewhere 😒😒😒
You would think given how popular Tommy is they'd make his Morpher a standard release. But I fear you're right.......😥
Probably not, Hasbro tends to do more online exclusives than con exclusives, and the past several years they had the con exclusives available online so you could get it without attending.
I managed to get the dragon dagger but i missed this went it went up on sale here in the UK (exclusive to a company i don't really use) AND i also missed the legacy morpher, so now i'm a sad panda, i really hope Hasbro do a second run
Edit : i found one - my coins are slightly inconsistent though not sure whats going on but it doesn't always match the colours properly - my biggest issues are with red and yellow
Great review, AccentRider. Since I never got the Bandai stuff, I'd happily get this version. Still would love to see their take on an Astro Morpher, Thundersaurus Morpher, and Delta Morpher.
I can tell you the original sounds, it’s just a beeping, and the lights flash.
Wait most of the reviews I've seen have said the black circle marks were painted on the LC version and stickers on the Legacy version
I so want it...
Edit: I got one. I went to a Walmart a bit further away from where I normally am shopping at and they had a few on the shelves, so I snagged one for me and a second for a good friend of mine who will pay me back later
Pretty cool. I’ll have to hunt one down eventually. I dig that it has everyone calling out their Dino with unique LEDs but I wish it did just a little more.
The Legacy Morpher is a prop. This is just a kid’s toy as it’s way too bulky compared to the ‘93 morpher _(which I have and was used in the tv show)_ and the power ranger logo is also way too thin than the original version. The Legacy Morpher was used as a prop in PR Beast Morphers as Jason flipped the Legacy Power Coin and morphed with Rangers from other seasons. Tommy and Ryu also used the Legacy Morpher as a prop when morphing in Power Rangers Legacy Wars. I don’t think this “collectible” should be worth $50.
MARKY MARC It was also used as a prop in the Kyoryuger vs Go busters dino team up movie
"here is a pokemon stadium" i love coming to this channel
and he SHOULD DO sound effects
The amount of references made in this video made me too happy. Crazy informative for the small amount of time taken in this video.
Walmart has clearanced them for 50% off, if it wasn't worth it before it is now.
Legendary! Maybe one day, I would be able to hold the very first morphers in Power Ranger history, and morph.
I've heard that this thing has issues reading the clips on the Power Coins. A minor nitpick, but it looks good. It's a nice collector's piece.
It's the tabs on the back, real easy to reset the coin and get the right glow before you open the morpher
I have owned multiple and every one I have purchased has not been able to accurately determine which coin was in the morpher every time. Sucks returning something, to get another one, only to have the same issue. This would be great if it functioned properly.
@@reiddutchess9955 ouch. Honestly the QC for Hasbro has been hit and miss lately, and I'm not just talking Power Rangers. Transformers and Nerf have been having their own QC issues too.

I really wish this had been another morpher it literally could have been anything else like jungle fury they really should have done that since jungle fury never got a modification but that’s just my opinion
David Murray ?
I feel, given how they handle their figures, that they aren't gonna go in show order. They're probably gonna jump around different seasons, atleast I hope.
Does the stand resemble the motif of the Shogun zords in anyway? I feel like I can see that, especially where the coins sit
Did anybod notice in the 90s release the buttons is on the rob like the decals and everything is upside down
So is this out yet? I've seen so many PR youtubers review this. I also tried to buy a Dragon Dagger at my local Gamestop but they said they don't have them. Online store only. I'm really not trying to order everything online and wait 3 months for it to come.
Why was the 90s one upside down and the falcon one was the same way
1:29 "Pokémon stadium"? Heh, very funny!
“Stickler Meeseeks!” 🤣😂🤣😂 dead 💀
The legendary white backdrop
4:12 what did he just say!
DosmRider I really hope SPD is next
bandai japan did make an artisan version of the sp license for around $80-$120 if you don't want to wait for the lightning version. The artisan version has voice lines of the dekaranger cast and various lines and soundtracks from the show. It also comes with the fire squad license than Ban/DekaRed from the vs movie and 10 years after movie.
The "Z" stands for Zordon not Zyuranger for obvious reasons. 2:51
Lightning Collection Samuraizer, Hasbro make it happen
If you want to display it with the Legacy coin blu-tack is your best friend
There are officially seven different kinds of Ranger Power Coins. Yes, I'm counting the Ninja Storm Power Disks. They are very much like the Power Coins.
Only the original legacy Morpher plays the original power rangers song? Or they all do?(should)
They all light up color of specific rangers on all 4 different Morphers?
I hope we're getting a green ranger/white ranger version
BANDAI Morpher has more ADULT Appeal (looks like an upper tier replica).... HASBRO Morpher has more Kid appeal (sounds and shit) 👍👍
I dunno, I know plenty of adult collectors who are hyped for the voice clips and the more accurate silver finish.
I really wish you would’ve seen if the legacy morpher could fit on the stand.
It does fit
What happens if you close the Power morpher lightning collection?
The legacy morphers Tyranno coin almost looks 3d like its Popping out of the center, the wethered coloration adds such depth to the coin making the tyrannosaurus appear to pop out at you in 3 dimensions 🦖🤯😵
the coins not being the right size is just, oof. How do they mess that up? You shouldn't be able to see the tabs at all.
Does it comes with the stand
Yepp
Wow, that’s really all the sounds huh...
More sounds than the legacy one
You said it’s “Torphin’ Mine!” Not “Morphin’ Time!”😂😂
Just got it off of eBay
For the red ranger they did use a clip but it’s the voice from the forever red episode in wild force
They never made a Legacy Black Ranger Morpher did they? I’ve got a White Ranger Movie one and I’ve seen Red, Pink, Blue, and now a Lightning Collection Yellow but not Black.
Reason I ask is because I will be meeting Johnny Yong Bosch pretty soon and am trying to think of a good one to get signed. So far I got the original 93 Morpher Signed by him last time I met him along with the original Zeonizer. I’m considering getting the Legacy Morpher signed to match how I got the Green/White Ranger Morpher Signed by Jason David Frank along with the Movie White Morpher that he signed. Also the Legacy Morpher looks more aged kinda like how the Morpher looked when Adam came back in Space.
This new Morpher surprised me with the colors changing to match the ranger (I love this) however I wish it had Adam’s voice too to match his autograph but it sounds like it’s locked into Zack so I’d probably have Walter Jones sign this one. The other reason I’m kinda leaning towards the Legacy Morpher is it was designed to work with the Ninja Coin Set so it works with both the Mastodon and Frog coins with similar matching designs. Just wishing they made a Black Movie Morpher. Do you have any suggestions on a good one to get signed by Johnny Yong Bosch?
Idk if it’s in the video but I accidentally put my pterodactyl coin in upside down and it said saber tooth tiger haha
Why has NO ONE tried to test for Dragon does sounds?
Is this worth buying at 120 usd?
I Already have the legacy morpher but I want one to play around with. The legacy one is in a display
Can we put these as buckles to normal belts
That bubble boy reference earned you a sub bro 😂
Do you think hasbro will release power coins for green or white ranger or even a morpher specifically for tommy?
These things really should include dragonzord and tigerzord
But can you stil make the master morpher with it?
The lightning collection has accurately copied the original mmpr toy with larger size and coin reader and they accurately not put out a gold version like in 1993
Hay there long time fan of your work. I’ve been wondering dose the black holster from the lightning collection compatible with the legacy morpher ? Cause mine broke and was hoping the lightning collection one can maby replace it
My morpher won’t recognize my tyrannosaurus coin, it keeps reading it as the mastodon coin 😞
Turn it abit harder in the slot. I had the same issue
One of the collectibles I had to get before retiring from collecting. I like this and the Green Ranger Legacy one equally, but better than the core 5 Legacy Morpher in my opinion and what made me like this is it looks and feels like the early 90s toy like you were saying plus I love how it has the morphing calls and Ranger colors.
❗How does the LR Morpher know the difference between each Coin?
The legacy one is a high quality replica, and the hasbro one it´s just a toy, it looks cheap... and has some potential issues, for example when the sensors wich match the tabs of the coins doesn´t work, the entire morpher will be ruined, or if one of the tabs of the coins fall out, then the coin won´t activate the electronics, also I think its probably that the gold paint of the coins will comes out for the use of switching them.
To me any version of the imporved 93 morpher is a great option to go with for example if you aren't fortunate enough to get the OG or legacy this is the next best thing and like Dosm mentions Hasbro captured the OG look!! To me it fits that 93 asthetic look just wish it wasn't so bulky but just a minor nit pic they nailed the look of the coins to me as well
Dark legacy coin is the best one
And i think its more fitting for power rangers
Adam when he appear in space has a darker detail coin
The show morphers were the toys but the coins were velcro
I think the McDonald's version was more accurate lol
Hahahhaha! Just thought of that, was my fav toy and cost $2!!
Omg XD
At Some point, I wanna get this morpher. I do hope they make Dino Thunder morphers. As Dino Thunder is my Favriote season.
Thanks for the review! Do you know if they sell the Green Ranger coin for this?
Not at the moment, but I'm certain we will get a Green/White Ranger release eventually.
i want it can i have one where do you buy it i want it PLEASE
This come out on my birthday September 15 I will be 14
It’s already out
It’s not in stock I don’t know when will it will be back in stock but I will get it once’s it’s gets back in stock
Why legacy didn't use this gimmick too?
is it possible to wear it like a belt buckle?
There are the clips on the back to hang it on your belt, but not a legitimate secure belt buckle.
i want to order how much
How much does it cost
I liked to haved this morpher my problem was the toy was too expensive
Its Torphine Mine 💯💕❤️
It would be cool to see the McDonalds version compared to these
I didn't include it since its clearly the best of them all. Didn't want to embarrass all the others.
Actually all super sentai used hand held morphers exept jakq then kamen rider used belt buckle to heshin
I don't know witch. One I like the most
Zyuranger version ??
Huh... I am from India and getting this is a dream for me😞😞
We are the people of the land come and take our happy hand 👐 bubble boy is the best
Cool. I just found one someone tossed
anyone know were to buy this
Amazon. I just bought a set for $94.
HERE IS POKEMON STADIUM!!!!!!!!!
The bits sticking out of the coins kills this for me. Def never buying
No more adapting from the Super Sentai series for Power Rangers series. Cause Power Rangers will not cooperate with Toei 🙁!
That bubble boy got screwed by his mom.
