I’m just glad we finally got figures/merchandise that don’t make the characters look like they’re on steroids. Even as a kid, that always annoyed me and I appreciated the Akibaranger Power Ranger Spoof pointing it out. I think that’s the main reason why I preferred getting the Megazords/Mechas.
I'm gonna say this now. The lightning collection sucks compare to the legacy figures. The lightning one had arm posture that can't push all the way down that legacy figures can
Huh, that might explain why I only got the Megazords when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure I only got SPD and Operation Overdrive figures, even though Dino Thunder was my introduction into Power Rangers. I have yet to get anything from the Lightning Collection, but I'm planning on getting the Dino Thunder figures.
@@leonardolim8976 Nah, their articulation is fine.
@@raphaelsorel6907 I don't mind the articulation I mind that how the arms can't push all the way down. The ones that looked ok with a decent arm posture is the shadow ranger or the mmpr white ranger or the manga defender
@@leonardolim8976 Well, at least you gotta admit the proportions on the lightning collection is better. Seriously, even as a kid, I was off put by the muscular physiques of the toys.
I"m loving the lightning collection so far.
Same here, it's a really great toyline with so much potential!

@@HesJulioCoolio hey man I would love to see a part two of the top 10 most wanted power rangers in the lightning collection
I like the idea that from both a collector and a play perspective... Figures are in the same scale so you can do dream crossovers... Marvel, DC etc...
S.H.Figuarts.....ahhhh your mere mention evokes memories.
Pepperidge Farm remebers.
JulioCoolio But Pepperidge Farms isn’t going to keep it to Pepperidge Farms’ self.....
I like how awesome the Lightning Collection is. Hopefully it leads to Hasbro buying the U.S toy rights to Toei’s Digimon. It would be called the Digidestined Collection.
Last I checked Hasbro got the Digimon license from Saban. Not sure what that means for the toys though.
Bobby Sharpe You’re brilliant...
JulioCoolio Wha? So....why aren’t we getting the same “Through the generation” treatment for our Digi-pals?!?
I can imagine it now......ML-esque Digimon figures, like Wargreymon, Angemon, Angewomon, Wizardmon and Lucemon. And still want a Beelzemon/Blast Mode vs Megidramon 2-pack, and a perfect 6-inch rendition of Gallantmon/Crimson Mode. (Noticed most of these are of the winged variety, don’t know why, just love me some flyers)
@@HesJulioCoolio bandai owns all digimon merchandise i thought and saban just owned the rights to make american versions of the show
This isn’t the most popular series but i’d love to see some mystic force rangers
Many of these lines have had their peaks and valleys. But so far, Lightning Collection is Best Collection!
I wouldn’t be mad if they made more retro fire megazords I loved them for what they where
I actually wouldn't mind more Megazord figures like the one Hasbro did for the Dino Megazord. It's the closest thing to retrofire in terms of articulation but can also transform.
I love the Lightning Collection! Is it perfect? No. But it is by far the best Power Rangers action figure line ever released! (Aside from S.H. Figuarts) I love the anthology releases and have been relatively lucky with QA and paint apps for my figures. I own every Lightning Collection figure and plan to continue collecting for as long as they release them. My favorite figure of the line is weirdly Beast Morphers Gold. I say "weirdly" because I like Beast Morphers and I like Nate the Gold Ranger. But neither are my favorite. But the figure is just so amazing. The paint and detail is awesome!
I just want my red turbo ranger...
CJhawk Nest Ahh, TJ....the pizza-obsessed, masochistic, Megazord-wrecking leader.
Yeah....been waiting for him too. But we’ll likely get another Tommy version before TJ. (Might be part of the first larger vehicle set w/Lightning Cruiser). I just want the same full weapon treatment. And hopefully, for the combiner team weapons, we get something like the original MOTU sets in the 80s. Man, I’ve wanted to see that in figure lines for ages.
I'm just after the MMPR Rangers in the Lightning style, and so far, I have MMPR Blue and Yellow, but I am hoping for a non-Fighting Spirit Green Ranger if they can justify such a release, but with the two I've got, they're good, but of course, a bit stiff when they're out of the box to where I feel like I might damage them accident, which is not the feeling I want to be having when I'm trying to pose them.
Still, they're meant for posing, so with enough care, you can get them how you want, though I have issues with doing the helmets in their hands/under arms pose still.
As for who I'd want, it'd be nice to have other members of Lost Galaxy, along with the first figures for the teams yet to get a Lightning release, so Turbo, Lightspeed Rescue, Wild Force, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury, RPM, Samurai, Mega Force, and Ninja Steel.
Then again, I am that person who hopes for Hasbro getting permission from Toei to expand to the pre-Zyuranger Sentai teams, since I'd love to own DynaRed (Dynaman), Red One (Bioman), and the Liveman team, but it's very unlikely.
Hasbro has done right with Power Rangers and the Lightning Collection as a whole.
A few minor errors but they actually try and rectify them.
My one wish as of now; they release all the power weapons and they form the power blaster!!
Who I want to see in the Lightning Collection is Kendrix Morgan and Psycho Pink in a possible 2 pack.
Shit, I want Megazordsss
I love the figures but I wish paint jobs were consistently better and more detailed.
I recently purchased the Dino Thunder Blue Ranger and only realized after watching a review of the Dino Thunder Red Ranger that Blue didn’t have the white paint on the back of his hands like Red did even though both (and Yellow when she’s made) need it. Hasbro neglects paint application to save money which often devalues the figure to me. The Dino Thunder Red Ranger’s Tyranno Staff lacks a lot of paint that would make it look good, without it, it looks pretty cheap. And that’s not even mentioning the White Ranger helmet fiasco.
Also for a $20 figure I’d expect better paint application and often find myself not buying a figure even when presented with 3 copies in a store because none of them have a good paint application or could have their pieces swapped to make a figure with good application. This goes for other lines like Marvel Legends as well.
Tie these things into hard to find figures or odd release windows for me and I’m skeptical to get into the series. You almost have to hunt the figure down as soon as it’s released otherwise you’ll never see it again. This is another problem Marvel Legends suffers from.
I’m also extremely particular so I hate online exclusives. I want to see the figure in person and be able to pick the best one. Online exclusives make me worrisome of getting a poorly painted figure with no chance of a replacement/fix.
Now that I’ve bought the Blue Dino Thunder Ranger I’m tempted to complete the Dino Thunder series but the difficulty of finding the figures and finding them with good paint applications makes me unsure of whether or not I’ll do it.
The lightning collection solved a lot of issues that were keeping me from buying the Bandai figures. The 6inch scale works with other lines of figures. The boy proportions are not exaggerated. I also love the variety of seasons that are released. I love SPD and MMPR. So I am happy I already have the 5 MMPR, and at least 3 SPD already.
My only problem with the line is the lack of paint apps. They are starting to decrease in the recent releases.
The thing that makes me annoyed is when a color of part is missing paint that is the same color as another part of the figure. It would have used the same color so I don't see how not coloring it would save money.
Waiting for more pink rangers
I've got 22 Lightning figures, including the SDCC Jasons and I'm quite pleased with the line. Wave 6 and Wave 7 sound *really lazy* though, so I have a bad feeling the best of the line has come and gone. Perhaps there isn't a decent-sized collectors market for PR because the new waves sound like major cost-cutting choices. 😕
Hasbro knows what they're doing. They release a wave or two of every line every year that's kinda ho hum and lazy and then follow it up with something incredible, often the best figures of that year.
What's wild about PRLC is that Power Rangers are more or less carbon copies of each other. Even on different teams, the male and female bodies are more or less the same. They just need to retool the helmet, gloves, boots and belts. I think that's why Hasbro is a perfect company to make them and why we've gotten so many, so quickly like this.
And, of course, there's also Covid-19 to consider and how that affected their plans overall of the year. It may have been a necessity for them to scale down for a few waves due to unforeseen circumstances.
Whatever Wave 8 and 9 end up being, I'd imagine we'll get a pretty solid wave after the currently leaked/announced ones. Plus with the monsters being shown, I think we're in for some awesome figures in the future.
@@michaelmulligan8527 I thought the majority of the 2019 offerings were better in quality control and execution than the lazy 2020 stuff. I suspect budget cutbacks
@@Knightfall182 maybe. But they 1/2 a billion dollars for Power Rangers. I really don't think they're going to just drop the line at this point... unless sales are truly terrible. I've never seen any sales numbers, but the prices on Amazon don't seem to fluctuate too often, only going up for the rarer figures.
@@michaelmulligan8527 They won't drop the line, but it will become more collector/exclusive-focused, and less money put into the mass retail waves. Thats why the recent waves are cheap
I'm just waiting on Gokai- ahem! Super Megaforce Ranger figures.
Freaking love the Lightning Collection & as you said in your villains figures video hoping for that Vrak figure
Also been watching Kyuranger & it's not my favorite modern sentai but I still enjoyed it (Lucky,Stinger,Spada,Raptor 283,and Xiao are my favorite characters as of now)
“HasBRUH” 🤣
All i want is Gokai or SuperMegaForce Lightning Collection
RW:it sure makes me wonder how the BOOM! STUDIOS MMPR X TMNT turtle Rangers will all turnout after its release?😕😉
I've never bought a Power Rangers toy before the Lightning Collection came out. And now I own up to 20 figures and started an animation UA-cam channel using the LC figures.....so...I guess I really like them :-D
oh and...by the way...great video! really interesting information. thank you for that.
TOY LIFE - stop motion animations Thank you so much! I’ve seen your videos around in a few places and they’re pretty cool!
Great video Julio loved the history lesson on collectible action figure lines
The Lightning Collection is looking pretty good so far. Minus the occasional QC issues and weirdness.
Nicely done video overall 👍.
I want the first ever Astronema figure and would love to see them put out a full set of helmets⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ white and red so far keep em coming hasbro!
I do love my red ranger helmet
Bandai seriously said they were going to release every ranger in the Legacy line? Hahahahahahaha... yeah, they clearly cared about doing that.
Anyway, Hasbro has easily trumped Bandai in everything. Just doing Goldar and Rita alone made them superior.
Sarcasm Mode.
Oh man looking at some of the head scans make me wanna cry especially Zach from Mighty Morphin it looks nothing like him
The lightning collection does characters from the Power Rangers t.v. show and the Power Rangers comics
I'm enjoying the Lighting Collection. I am afraid that with MMPR team being almost done (only Zach being unreleased and a stripeless green ranger Tommy for rangers) that the rumors of Hasbro pushing out the MMPR MOTW figures, when they can bring out Rito Revolto, Master Vile, Squat, Baboo and my personal wants Ninjor and Scorpina. I do love the look of some of the classic monsters, but we have so many more rangers to get released. I know the whole "MMPR is the money maker" stick for PR content, but it gets annoying seeing people cry for more MMPR when other seasons deserve some love as well. I do hope they really start looking for fan favorite rangers to bring into the collection, or ones that tried to stay connected more with the ranger fandom.
I don't know how I feel about rereleasing larger size combining zords(we know anything other than a current season is Hasbro's going to milk money from fans). After getting into the Miniplas I do like the idea of them doing a smaller size like that to work with the lightning figures. Maybe not combining to allow for better pose-ability or packs that do combine with a none transforming poseable figure.
I'd prefer to see more of what we're getting with the buildable Dino Megazord, something that's a tad small yet can balance articulation and combinability.
@@HesJulioCoolio that's what I mean for the deluxe zords being released. That seems to be Hasbros deluxe zords
Good video and that happens to be my pic of someone finding wave 3 same day lol
I love it and once you start collecting it gets addicting. I’m still a couple waves behind but I can’t help to get all the rangers. I also really want the dragon dagger & helmet too. Overall I’m glad Hasbro stepped in. Now I can’t wait for Ryusoulger as lightning collection figures
RW:@8:02 correct me if im wrong,or call me colorblind,but is that a custom female Red IN SPACE Ranger JC?😕
That’s a legacy Pink Space Ranger, though the lighting was a bit weird on that clip.
@@HesJulioCoolio rw:thnxu for telling me and i do believe that you're right.
They were called the “variant” back in the day, not “chase” 🤓
From what I read, the yellow Daredevil from Spider-Man classics is a “chase variant”. Still thanks for letting me know. www.toyhollywood.com/toys/daredevil-toy-06.htm
JulioCoolio yeah back in the day we used to say “variant” but Funko made “chase” more POPular lmao
10:15 hey uh... what is this about and how can I see it
People don’t paint the figures, they manually paint the prototype.., the actual figure is press printed with a machine.
Finally have a sentai that didn't get S.H Figuarts
By the way, Lighting Collection looks good, I just hope Hasbro fixs up some mess ups with the Toys, specially the Red Dino Thunder Gold Neck Collar
Algo que lightning superar a legacy es que no sólo tendremos cada ramgers sino también a sus villanos
Hey man, can you do kamen rider blade who is blade's secondary rider.
I just hope they give us ninjetti and megazord!! 😁
while I applaud the effort of Hasbro's lightning collection, the QC issues and frequent re-issues within a short span of 1.5 years are issues that anger many fans, including me. I sure hope they don't go down Bandai's "legacy"
Josh! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
3 minutes into the video to finally get PR content
The thing is Legacy was inspired by the Marvel figures, so context is needed.
Oh ok that's understandable. I thought you were going to start off with the history of the PR toy line before getting into the LC. It just threw me off with the Marvel line. (no offense) Overall great video still like your content (no hard feelings)
The main figure I want next from the lighting collection is elephant ranger jungle fury
That’s very amazing video. 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻⚡️⚡️⚡️
This video straight gas 🔥🔥🔥 keep it up dude
Awesome video my dude!
All is ask for is a MMPR Black Ranger helmet.
Same
Here before the video starts
I’m into G.i. joe and MOTU and I’m curious on collecting PR LC
I'm still waiting for Operation Overdrive Lightning Collection figures. But it looks like it might never happen since Overdrive is hated by fans.
I think it'll happen eventually since some OO characters are in Legacy Wars, just not as soon SPD or Time Force.
yep..i'm only collecting the MMP...
such a good video
Very informative, well made video
I like the Lightning Collection but I'm trying to build a team of my favorite rangers but only 1 or each color from each season and that's really hard with the abundance of MMPR. (Also I'm really tempted to get Time Force red but I really want Time force Pink becuase duh)
If you want
I would love to see RPM Nlack Ranger?
I know Hasbro is getting a lot of flak for ending Toei (even thou, that is a Rumor)
The rumor does make sense when you realise, on how the fuck would Hasbro make Megazords out of Glitter, Trains, Cubes and Zodiac Lanterns
Maybe Hunterkiller1440 was right about the Megazords in later Sentai seasons being not good
SH Figuarts came out before Marvel Legends took off.
Where is julio colio he hasnt open a vide in 1 month
New video next week, stay tuned ;)
What's your favorite effect
I admire the optimism in your thoughts on the future of this line, but Hasbro has been increasingly terrible in their releases and the figures have had decreasing quality. The MMPR green ranger was just awful. The helmet details and diamonds missing were inexcusable especially since the fighting spirit release had them. They clearly just removed them on purpose to lower costs and drive up their profits. Not to mention this wasn't just any release, this was THE GREEN RANGER. Mark my words they will have some updated version of MMPR green in some kind of 2 pack in the future just to make sure everyone buys it again just like Lord Zedd.
14:09. The unbearable pain
Finish Beast Morphers so I can get the hole set
bandai legacy collection lost galaxy(if they still owned the rights(2030 after 30 mmpr releases)
Hasbro lightning collection lost galaxy YEAR FUCKING 1
also if bandai still had them, they would get worse over time. GOLD ZEO
Great video
Great video!👍🏾
I love the lighting figs but man I don't like some of the helmets like the MMPR red and DT White helmet
i did a potential top 5 lightning collection video on my channel the other day would love to see you pop up in the comment section
Hasbro if you both watch this video and read this comment please make a emperor mavro figure from super megaforce in the lighting collection ppplllllleeeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do you not like rocky oh wait he replace Jason never mind continue on with your day
Dope
more morphers and combinable zords
I want a lighting collection saba I skipped the legacy
Emperor mavro!
Julio I hope you can check out my stop motion I uploaded today of power rangers
Thanks for asking! Life's just been pretty busy as of late, but I have a new video coming tomorrow ;)
De verdad.
Legacy was garbage for there scale and refuse to make female characters the only good thing that came out of legacy were the role play items yes LC has there qc issues but it fits in to any figure line and more consistent
Those customs are good just person made them became sour and scammer
Honestly, it's sad how a lot of great custom makers end up being terrible people. *coughs* Aniki cosplay*
The lightning collection is nothing short of a joke. Anyone with standards and anyone who is a true collector who understands real quality will stay away from these McDonalds figures. The only reason people buy these is cause there is no other choice. They don't come anywhere near SHF quality, heck even the blaster on any SHF sentai figure has more paint apps then a whole lightning figure
Yeah so? You think someone buying a twenty dollar figure is expecting the same level of detail as a figure that’s usually more than double the price?
Your description of lightning collection is more exaggerated than a catfisher looking for love
@@Hulkitout not my problem if you don't have standards. Neca pumping out figs at the same price point with twice the amount of detail and sculpt and you guys drool and pay for this McDonalds shit
@@braveng7909 the least they can expect is at least getting a figure thats worth 20 dollars. Neca pumps out figures with twice the paint and detail yet Hasbro cant put out one figure without crazy QC issues. The reason likes of Hasbro can get away with such substandard job is cause you lot just accept it 😂. Best of luck with them Hasbro zords 🤮
@@Hulkitout you need perspective.Handle a few imports and get an idea what real quality means. Then you will understand what I'm saying is nothing but the truth
