under Power Rangers

The term “third party” may be something foreign to a lot of Power Rangers fans but for fans of other popular properties (like Transformers) it is a window into a different side of collecting, receiving toys or figures that likely are never created for mass market by the official companies.  However, third party companies are UNLICENSED, meaning the figures you’re about to see are NOT sanctioned by Hasbro.  However, due to the lack of any official product releasing from Hasbro for Power Rangers now or in the foreseeable future, we’re showcasing these upcoming items.

Third party toy company SoosooToys has announced their first four figures in 1:6 scale (so roughly 12 inches) for Power Rangers.  And to the surprise of everybody, these are figures NOT based on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but arguably some of the most popular “sixth” or “extra” Power Rangers over the 30 years of the franchise.  These figures are all expected in the 2nd quarter of 2024 (so between May 2024 and July 2024).

– Son of Triforia (Zeo Gold Ranger)
– Green Shuriken Warrior (Ninja Storm Green Samurai Ranger)
– Black Aba Warrior (Dino Thunder Black Ranger)
– Aba Assassin (Dino Thunder White Ranger)

These figures are going to be limited in release and cost $145 ($45 due up front, $100 upon release).  You can check out links to purchase listed above, however we cannot vouch for the online retailer or SoosooToys so you buy at your own risk.

Another entry in to the Mezco One:12 Collective series for Power Rangers is upon us.  Announced today via Mezco is their upcoming One:12 Collective Mighty Morphin Power Rangers White Ranger figure.  Similar to their previous Mighty Morphin Power Rangers One:12 Collective releases, this figure is in 1:12 scale (or roughly 6 inches), has a soft-goods costume, tons of articulation, and tons of accessories.  Those accessories include:

– 5+ swappable sets of hands
– 2 variations of Saba (short, extended) as well as laser-beam eyes Saba and a removable holster
– 4 effects pieces for Saba
– The Sword of Light (to help swap powers during those pesky peace conferences)
– 4 Sword of Light effects pieces

Pre-orders are sold out but you can join the wait list via Mezco by clicking here.
