For January, they look at the auto-morphin Power Rangers recently released to stores. These figures are rebuilt versions of the original toys from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers toy line.

Power Rangers Celebrates 25th Anniversary with Top 25 of the 25th
Neoblackdragon says
As someone else said. Are they going to announce when PRZ air's because so far it sounds like they are going to announce old news.
legotron123 says
I tried out the ask Zordon thing, apparently even he doesn’t know who the Phantom Ranger is.
KaijuUltraFan says
those auto-morphing figures look so terrible. Lol. Huge body and tiny little heads.

Cobra says
spikebuster says
Don't these reissues human heads turn as well? The originals didn't.
Halbard100 says
Yeah I don't remember the originals having head turn. My understanding is these are as perfect reproductions of the originals as possible. They might be the first figures I get duplicates of for in-box display. Those are the figures I remember most from MMPR so having a full s1 team is big for me. I'm curious what they'll do for the rest of the 25th. I want SHF reissues but I won't get my hopes up. Rebuilding my confidence in the legacy figures would be huge honestly.
TokuChris says
2 for the 25th is the BOOM! Studios Artist Tribute book.
3 for the 25th is the Series 06 of Legacy Power Rangers figures featuring Psycho Red, Psycho Blue, Psycho Black, and Dino Thunder White Rangers.
