I don't care how they do it, if Hasbro can't get me a Rito at some point before the line is done for good I will be livid. I'd also like a Squatt and Baboo of course, but Rito feels much more essential.

As long as Toei continues to refuse to license their own shows overseas (they didn't even license DragonBall Super until they were guaranteed a timeslot on cartoon network 3 years in, and then there's rhe sunday morning shows that all have different histories of licensing difficulties), there will always be a spot for Power Rangers.

Pretty clear Hasbro did not buy the franchise to continue doing sentai adaptations, but it's also clear they do not have the experience to produce a live action show. Nearly every Hasbro IP so far has just been animated fare and it seems like contrary to rumors they do want to keep it a live action property.

I was pretty hyped for this line when it started since the villain designs were great for a lot of the different series.

For as long as it has gone on this line is probably one of the bigger disappointments, to me anyways.

>they were just completely made up for reasons.
I have a hypothesis about why Hasbro does so many OCs. I think they need to pay Toei a cut when they use the Sentai designs, whereas OCs are 100% profit.

I also wonder if there's some sort of loophole where they don't have to pay Toei if the figures are inaccurate to the source material. That could explain why they fuck up the details so often, and could also be the reason all the MMPR merch had power coins on their chests back in the day, and why they changed the stickers on the Zords. Intentional inaccuracy to avoid having to give Toei a cut. Of course that's just a theory...

As far as the old merchandise having the Power Coins on their chests... I may be mistaken, but I think the reasoning was a combination of "Well, superheroes usually have logos or emblems on their chests, so the Rangers should have that, too" and "This is a way of signifying that this is merchandise specifically of Power Rangers and not Zyuranger."

>>10521864
The rights to MMPRTM are apparently a clusterfuck for some reason. All evidence points to Hasbro having the merchandising rights to it, as they got the toy line from Bandai (who have always been able to make toys based on MMPRTM) and the entire franchise itself from Saban (who had copyright of the characters). So, logically, they should be able to make figures of Ivan Ooze, Mordant, Dulcea, etc. But each time Hasbro has been asked about MMPRTM, they've always said "Fox/Disney owns the movie, so we can't!"

That's what I always thought as well, but someone on Rangerboard a few years back was able to dig up a paper that showed that Saban held the copyright to Ivan Ooze (sure, maybe they photoshopped it, but that seems like a lot of work for no real reason). 20th Century may have held the rights initially but things might have changed in the last three decades. At the very least, Hasbro should've gotten the rights to make merchandise of the MMPRTM characters from Bandai.

>>10522329
Hasbro is sitting on a content gold mine and it's kind of maddening that they don't know what to do with it especially with the looming hiatus. Like take some interns tell them to watch a non MMPR season and come up with something. This extends to BOOM studios as well.

Its sucks because you know there are fans who grew up with later season as their starting point and they have nothing to show for it but get dogged on by MMPR only fans about how it's their fault the seasons they like aren't popular enough compared to MMPR.

This is exactly the problem. Instead of something good, we get figures like finnster and fans begging for bulk and skull.

Open a YouTube channel and look at the analytics. 70% of the audience drops off by halfway into a video. There's no way any zoomer got past season 1 of mmpr,if they can't watch a 5 minute YouTube video.

Mmpr fans are so greedy. They get scorpina and still say they don't have representation

Mmpr killed the franchise

>>10522369
Exactly. Spin a wheel and pick a random series, and make the main villain + 2 monsters along with the main team.

The only series that even tried LC was in space and spd (both garbage because painted handles on weapons). I had both but stopped halfway from the paint rub. Hasbro did as little effort as possibl e on the main rangers, even if they filled out the line.

Yeah, but it doesn't work unless the line already has enough hooks for you, PR is a series of shows, so it isn't a guarantee.
For 90% of people who liked PR growing up and might be tempted to buy figures, they aren't going to have any attachment to most of the characters nor series.

Anthology style releases make sense for connected franchises like say shared universe super heroes but is fucking dumb as hell for a franchise that is a collection of disconnected shows.

Even though Hasbro has already been paid for what's out in stores now. Don't buy any more Power Rangers merch in-stores. That way they won't place any more orders ($$$$) to Hasbro. Let the stores sit on Power Rangers merchandise throughout this hiatus.

>Mmpr killed the franchise
You anti-MMPR fags are absolutely delusional. What killed the franchise on the merchandise end of things is inaccuracy, poor quality, and ridiculous prices. Who thought it was a good idea to slap greebles and lightning bolts all over the MMPR role play weapons? Not to mention the crazy prices they were asking for then. ZAP was a disaster from it's inception, the monsters turned off a large portion of the consumer base who want screen accuracy. Damn near every LC Ranger in the line has some inaccuracy and/or inconsistency with their teammates, not to mention the worst QC I have ever seen in a toyline, which made buying them an absolute chore. Then take away the consumer's ability to preview what they're buying with plastic free packaging. Bandai was riding MMPR's dick hard from 2013 until they lost the line, and they were thriving from it. Hasbro is failing because they are completely inept at what they're doing. A hiatus is a good thing, they need to purge everyone involved with their Power Rangers products and get some new, competent blood. People who understand and genuinely like the property.

As a casual who only really enjoys the suits and monsters I'm getting rid of my lc stuff save for like a red ranger or something I'd still get behind power rangers IF they just made them consistent among each other. Like, if we mess up a helmet then just make the whole team have wrong helmets, not this one is right but that is wrong etc etc. Also let's get the monsters out quickly next time, they atleast have a broader cross over appeal so it helps pick up some slack sales wise.
That's my dumb opinion.

This is the lines biggest issue. Inconsistency between members of the same team. MMPR was the only team that was consistent and even then they still have issues. I would've liked to collect Zeo but the differing details on each Ranger bugs my tism too much.

I think it helped that there was a sense of progression through MMPR, at least with the Legacy Zords and roleplay stuff. For the most part the releases were going the route of Season 1 -> Season 2 -> Season 3/Movie -> Zeo. I'm sure there'd still be MMPR pandering had the line continued, but there was a good chance of going beyond. With Hasbro they've just been spinning their wheels.

Target is offered options for exclusive and that's what they picked. Hasbro and Target are just out of touch in general of what people want. I just finished my Ninja team and never bought one at full price. Got the first two Cobra Kai figures half off so I suspect that the other two will be just as easy. Hopefully they finish out with Tori and Robbie just to have heads of the main cast. I'll have a massive, useless Ninja team but at least it was easier to get than most options.

We are having a lot of weird cross over branding the last 5 years and I think it's due to the rapidly shrinking toy market, they are trying to do click bait shit like "kidult" but the reality is even adult collectors are rapidly shrinking and the average age of your toy collector is starting to hit 40, which is not a sustainable system.

The MMPR spam used to make sense from a business standpoint. But they oversaturated the market and maybe nostalgia is waning. I don't think different ranger teams bring highlighted would help the line. I think they have a problem selling teams. People don't want to buy the whole team. They just want their favorites. I think PR is different from something like Ninja Turtles. Ninja Turtles fans, want all of them turtles. Idk if power ranger fans really care about buying the whole team. Sentai figuarts ran into this problem too.

Further look at the price of these.

The worst part is there's no heel pivot.

Prices:

>25-30$ if they come with a vehicle

It's 70$ a team, and at that point you might as well get shodo.

Further this line is doing as poor as ML

personal experience:
They don't feel as fun as spin master, and the lack of heel pivot means you need to buy stands. They are way too expensive

People shouldn't buy toys they don't want to just support the line. There's just not enough demand. You can't sell these figs to a kid. They have no attachment to the Silver In Space Ranger/Blue Senturion. Why would mom buy them that instead of the Fortnite/Roblox/Mario/sonic fig in the same aisle? So then you're selling on nostalgia. How many adults today care about Turbo enough to buy the blue Senturion of all characters? These deep cuts are great for enthusiasts but I don't think there's enough of them in the wild to support the line.

The hard revisionist history people try to push with Bandai is baffling. They weren't perfect, but they knew how to create a release schedule for their toys and they were clearly improving with each release of the Legacy line. Can't even blame them for the last 2 years they had the license, Saban bet it all on a movie that flopped and the main line had to suffer as a result of splitting resources.

There is absolutely no reason a single store should be getting that much stock, and most stores don't. These cherry picked photos aren't indicative of the LC as a whole performing badly, they're indicative of either those particular stores being retarded and ordering way too many figures, or some sort of distribution problem. My local Targets generally get two or three cases and sell them through. There may be some stragglers, but they eventually move.

There are instances though where they never get figures at all. I never once saw the Scorpina/Psycho Silver two-packs at a retail store until just today when I went to the Toys R Us in the American Dream mall and they had a million Psycho Silver packs and a few Scorpina ones. They also had wave 2 of the retro Megazord figures which were supposed to be Walmart exclusives, but not only did my Walmart stores never get them, they canceled my online pre-orders for them.

I mean, maybe. I'm alluding to flaws on these figures that don't seem that obscure. Though I did mistype the part about Blue, so that's my bad.
The blue on Blue is the complete wrong shade, and they made his visor too short, so it doesn't reach all the way to where it's molded on either side. So they double fucked him (and I meant to type, I wish they hadn't).
And White has a bit of a giraffe neck out of the box. I dremeled her neck hole so her head sits lower, as evidenced by the picture.

Maybe I should just say what I mean the first time though.

I think in the short term, it'd better to cut back on other colors. They could be short run exclusives on an online site for the hardcore fans who want to complete the teams. Long term, idk. What do we want out of a ranger line? Every ranger made into a toy? Do we want them to only go deep on the most popular shows with monsters, henchmen, civilian figs, vehicles.

>I really find it hard to believe that people actually want that trash
Hasbro declared over a decade ago that 1/18th was for children and children don't get articulated toys. They redesigned the MU figures to be simpler at great expense so that the line would die.because the person at the head of the Marvel dept at the time was a ML fan. So clipped the MU line and moved all the money and artists over the ML to revive a nearly dead outside of a movie wave line-up. As costs increased for oil, they realized they could charge more for 6" figures so things moved from Almost $20 with a BAF to over $25 easily without a BAF. Now you get $40 and $50 figures where-as they'd have been $30 before. It's not inflation, it's Hasbro and Matty raising prices to squeeze out more profit. Those 4" figures are made from a deal handing it to another company to produce the toys for Hasbro who holds the license. Meanwhile after Marvel Universe died, Hasbro launched the Retro 4" line "for collectors" so they could made cheap, Kenner style figures with a minimum $10 pricetag. Those lines have been a bomb for years.

In short, Hasbro and Matty think adults should only collect 6" figures so they can charge you more for it. Look how over inflated Hasbro's own GI Joe Classified brand has gotten in both volume and price versus what is offered to the consumer. You get more with one LC figure than you do most of the SE movie figures, for example. GI Joe is FULL of accessories and they cheap out everywhere while still charging the same price for their own internal, not licensed brand where the only "rights" to pay were a couple of actor heads.

Yeah its like both the most satisfied and dissatisfied I've been with LC. Everyone has a bobble head, you can adjust. I really fucking wish the guys were on the Time Blue body mold cause the white ranger body can put its arms to the sides and the visible pins are super ugly. Also Blue's color is so off. Ninja White is obviously the best. The weapons are done nicely and the paints are clean. Also being my favorite sentai team makes me unable to hate it. I'm really happy I have the better shodos too.

Got my alien dudes today. Like others, I'm torn. My white has super loose hips and can only really stand due to how stiff the skirt is. Otherwise, she'd be doing the splits. Red and Black have shotty white lines on their gloves that look like they needed a second coat of paint, the helmets all have sprue marks on the bottoms, Yellow's yellow paint doesn't match between the torso and limbs (this is weird because I've yet to see anyone mention it), the swords' hilt paint rubs off when you insert them into the sheaths. But that doesn't really matter since none of them even have proper sword holding hands in the first place.

But still, I like them. They were some of my favorite rangers as a kid, and this is probably the best representation of them that we'll ever get.

The Legacy figures were awful though, no accessories or hands save for a handful of releases, paint apps were all over (inconsistent MMPR belt paint apps, half painted Dino Thunder White, that garbage Gold Ranger release), floppy joints with the most notable one being convention exclusive Drakkon, and those BAF that no one cared for. Don't even get me started on the retarded scale or the inaccurate shoulders on MMPR because they reused the Ninja Storm molds, the line was flawed from the get go.

But good fucking luck collecting an entire team in this line. Dino Charge required collecting from wave 1 in 2018 up until wave 1? in late 2022. Time Force still isn’t finished, and if you like Blue, good fucking luck getting Red. I think they spread them too thin: crack out two teams over the course of a year or two, then rerelease them as a box set two years later. Rinse and repeat.

I can guarantee it's the opposite. People do want full teams, but Hasbro spreads members out so much to the point where changes get made to make the team incoherent with each other. Some team members will be missing paint apps, will have screwed up helmets, missing weapons, etc. I can sort of see where they were going with the idea to mix rangers based on waves, I think it ended up biting then in the ass. Some of the best sets are the teams they released in a box set like the psycho rangers and aline rangers. If they released core teams in a wave, and maybe spread out the 6th member and a villain or two, that would have worked much better.

The twitter "influencers" for the PR and tokusatsu fandom are all power trips. If you look at the people who have a high following they're in a closed circle and all they care about is clout and views. There are only a few who are decent human beings who won't backstab. And also it's always a competition to see who posts first and they basically just want attention. Look at the Ranger Command Power Hour podcast and see they have no loyalty to each other. Lots of fakes in the fandom.

Its name is a reminder of the large scale failure of the line. All throughout the line you could buy figures for half price that were a few months old.

The only expensive figures were red rangers. Every other figure pretty much flopped except mmpr blue, green, and white.

Whatever is next isn't LC. It will likely be 7 inch, 4 inch, or an entirely different 6 inch line (ex. comic styled or flip heads)

And to think, this all acoukdve been avoided if you bought the monsters

>that wouldn't have saved the line

The one thing PR needed was multiple sizes, scales, and price points. The monsters doubled retail space. Instead of thanking Hasbro, you whined

Factually the monsters were the best figures with zero part reuse.

But no... Keep begging for bulk and skull so that we can sink the line further.

This is the best toy community at whining, and not buying toys or watching shows

Shit was bad by the time they started coming out. They made two goldars before a monster happened, two zedd before a monster happened. They made alpha and zordon before a monster happened.

I think there's a good chance the pause is because the plastic free packaging was a disaster for the Lightning Collection, and Hasbro doesn't want to produce anything else until plastic packaging is back in full swing. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it were the retailers who were refusing to order more plastic free packaged LC figures because so many are returned opened and can't be resold. I highly doubt Target/Walmart wagies are inspecting the contents of a returned LC figure to make sure it's all there. They're probably just throwing them in a defective pile, and ending up in a trash compactor. With plastic packaging you could tell with minimal effort if everything was accounted for and could be resold.

Exclusive figures don't take up slots from the regular retail waves. If you had no Cobra Kai figures you wouldn't have had a complete Turbo team by now either.

The Power Rangers brand as a whole was slated for a pause due to the reboot. This has been the plan for years. Covid led to more delays.

Unlike people running like crazy thinking it's the end. Hasbro sees the potential hence the reboot.

The thing is the people in the know that have the information for the figures did not think those plans would affect the Lightning Collection. That's why it was never an issue until now.

If a line is struggling to sell, then why would you ever want multiple lines at different price points? All you're doing is multiplying failure points in the hopes that you get ONE win.

Even more retarded is you seem to assume PR is a franchise that just continually adds more new faces when all indications seem to be the opposite.

When LC pegwarms hard, good fucking luck telling retailers to accept more PR products. Retards like you are completely clueless to business moves.

>This is the best toy community at whining, and not buying toys or watching shows

Yeah you're terminally retarded. Just because you're a fan of thing, doesn't mean the corporation with that IP is entitled to your money.

Tell that to Bandai America, who put out an expansive new toyline every year for 25 years. Their figures were selling so well they were forcing cockpit armors into the show so they could make even more figures. Meanwhile Hasbro barely made any figures for Dino Fury despite their being tons of power ups in Ryusoulger. Bandai would've had a field day with all the variants they could've sold.

Anyone who missed the announcement.

Lightning collection is still getting releases.

These will be "Deluxe re-releases" so likely things like DX price point boxes for stuff like Lost Galaxy team with both sabers and quasar canon and corrected paint detailing or the like, stuff that requires no new tooling but lets them charge extra.

Then once the reboot is out they go back into new releases.

The Dragon Dagger sold well enough to get a second run. The morphers failed because they're terribly inaccurate and a huge step down from the Legacy Morphers. The Power Weapons would have sold better if Hasbro didn't put random greebles and lightning bolts all over them that shouldn't be there, and gave them unnecessary electronics to bump up the price point. There's absolutely no reason they should cost as much as they do, but I guess that's par for the course with Hasbro.

This series will feature the most "inaccurate" screen-accurate action figure recreations ever. Standing roughly 6 inches tall and including all weapons & accessories. For the first time ever featuring imposing monsters & 1:144th scale megazords!

PR has to be the one franchise where none of the copyright holders care about making screen accurate replicas. They only try to reproduce what adult fans faintly remember from childhood.

Bandai and Hasbro made the same mistake in that regard. Lightning barely had any Dino Fury figures, and zero at the initial release of the show, but the basic figures had the whole team and more. Same for Bandai, they cranked out as many variants for Ninja Steel as they could for the kids line, but Legacy was focused on Zeo and Dino Thunder at the time,

Yes, they are. The Boom stuff isn’t super popular on here but judging from other sites like Instagram and Reddit, you’d think Omega Rangers deserved a tv show, let alone figures. Most of the comic shit is what’s being asked for, over the less popular older teams they weren’t around for, like Lightspeed.

Boom is really important cope to people active in the Power Rangers community at the moment because it's the closest thing to something that actually works, which is more than you can say about the current toy line and series.
That said It isn't great, has more MMPR centered favoritism than LC itself and the new designs don't seem to understand the design language of the original suits and just kind of make them look like generic super heroes with helmets.

It's what the community wishes Power Rangers was like as a TV show. More mature, gritty, and action heavy, as opposed to a goofy version of Saved By the Bell where they dress up as superheroes for the last 8 minutes of the episode. The comics are fine for what they are, but honestly, in my opinion, half the reason I enjoy Power Rangers as an adult is the cheese and goofiness of it. I mean, the main antagonists go from trying to conquer earth to trying to fuck with a group of the some of the dorkiest kids I've ever seen. I mean most plot points of your average MMPR episode is Rita or Zedd finding a way to fuck with the Rangers day. Personally I love it just for the implication of how petty a bunch of alien warlords are.

I was going for a season 3 era display, so she didn't feel right posed up top with the main villains. I could justify season 1/2 monsters since several appeared in season 3, and monsters in general are often recycled as fodder. Though since taking that photo I decided to put her on the ground level with the monsters of the seasons she was in, and I'm satisfied with how that looks.

I'd love a complete Turbo team but if they're gonna stop after only Red, there's a good chance that even if the line comes back in the future, they'll make changes to the figures and will rerelease it.

I feel like it's especially damming because it's set up as a direct sequel. Kids are definitely going to compare these.

RIP to anyone who skipped the multipacks, figures like Psycho Silver, 3/5 of the Psychos, and Zeo Pink are all locked behind expensive packs now. There’s so many stupid obvious packs that would’ve sold well: first one that comes to mind is Galaxy Pink and Psycho Pink, with the savage sword. No company can seem to get us that Sword.

i know hasbro has nothing to do with my own personal circumstances but sometimes i think about how much fun i had collecting those gangly ass legacy figures and the events surrounding them and note how goddamn soulless and disappointing the lightning collection has been for me in retrospect due to a combination of poor distribution, drama and rumors surrounding the line, and absolutely horrendous secondhand prices. rose tinted glasses are partly to blame here but this thread is a good example of the shitty atmosphere surrounding current PR collecting.

How are the teams completed if there are missing Rangers? MMPR I'll give you since Ninjor wasn't a Ranger, was only in season 3, and they at least made a version of him in scale with the Lightning Collection, but SPD isn't complete, and Dino Charge isn't even close.

>thinking Hasbro of all companies won't take advantage of existing tooling to charge full price for glorified repaints

At the bare minimum I expect the following to be shoe-ins at some point because all they need are new heads.
>Lightspeed Red and Blue
>Time Force Green
>Dino Charge Purple, Graphite, and Aqua
>Dino Fury Black

Most likely shoe-ins, as they would only need one additional part tooled in addition to the heads
>Turbo Blue and Green, new personal weapons (could theoretically be omitted to increase their cost effectiveness since they already have two standard issue weapons)
>Wild Force Red and Black, new personal weapons
>Dino Charge Silver, new sword
>Dino Fury Pink, new belt/skirt

Would need more than one additional part other than heads, but still pretty cheap to produce and highly likely.
>Turbo Pink and Yellow, new skirt/belts, personal weapons (as with Blue and Green the personal weapons could theoretically be omitted)
>Titanium Ranger, new shoulder armor, belt, personal weapon(s)
>Quantum Ranger, new left forearm, belt, personal weapon(s)
>SPD Kat Ranger, new chest armor, belt (using the first Astronema torso)
>SPD Nova Ranger, new chest armor, forearms, hands (though would save on an unmasked head since Omega didn't get one)
>Dino Fury Gold, new left forearm, personal weapons (though the weapons could potentially be reused from the basic figure)

Ultimately I think it's very likely that Turbo, SPD, Dino Charge and Dino Fury will be completed eventually given how few new parts they need. The Lightspeed and Time Force girls need more work, as does Beast Morphers Silver, so I wouldn't be surprised if those teams aren't completed, but I think the remaining "Forever Red" Rangers are very likely, and probably Titanium as well given his demand.

The “missing” rangers I listed are not part of the core team. SPD’s got all five plus their sixth and their mentor, I don’t consider Kat or Nova missing members of the team when they’re just auxiliary rangers. Ninjor’s not really part of a team, he’s just a “mentor” type character by Sentai standards. But unlike Phantom Ranger or Blue Senturion, he still doesn’t have a figure.
Dino Charge has the biggest argument for being incomplete, but the core team is there, at least.
It’s a matter of opinion though. For all intents and purposes, I consider those teams complete: every additional character is just gravy.
