“It’s Morphin’ Time!
Announced at Hasbro’s Power Morphicon panel earlier today, the new Lightning Collection is already shaping up to be a fantastic replacement for Bandai’s now defunct Legacy 6.5″ line of figures. This amazing new line of 6″ scale, show accurate, accessorized, and affordable ($19.99) figures is a welcome addition for collectors worldwide.
Via the official Power Rangers Twitter account, we also now have access to the video shown announcing the line at said panel. This video breakdown gives us a look at the entire construction and production process of the prototype seen at the Con today. Which was then displayed publicly by Hasbro after the show.

Our old friend @JmannDX has provided us with some new higher-res shots of the Lightning Collection White Ranger as well, attached to the story after the jump. For now, see the video above for a fantastic first look at this line and what we can hope for in the future!
Hasbro's first foray with the Power Rangers license!
Honestly nothing says "hasbro has been listening to the fans" more than them specifically putting the fans people have been complaining about in Bandai Red. Looks great!
Wow. Like, I'm keeping my MMPR Figuarts, but I am down for literally every other team done in this style. And damn that Tommy headsculpt looks better than the Figuarts head by miles!
As someone who's not necessarily up for paying Figuarts costs, this is a very exciting line!
That one image makes it look a lot like Figuarts. Hasbro has been tentatively courting the Figuarts-buying market for a while: I've got a retail-released, black-costumed Spider-Man with sick articulation, swappable hands, and a hole in his back that fits a Tamashii stand. I'm curious how close they'll get this time. It can't hurt that they're aware that they don't have to compete with Bandai for high-end Power Rangers figures because Figuarts gave up on Sentai.
Speculation, of course. I'm curious to see where this goes.
I like it. But. May be it's time to move on from mmpr.
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!!!! This is exactly what i wanted!!!
The new.

I wonder if this line will include the villains and the human casts of Power Rangers in addition to the actual rangers for a much greater variety than exclusively doing the morphed rangers alone.
