Hasbro Power Rangers Lightning Collection Zord Ascension Project Mighty Morphin Dino Megazord

The crackle of unreleased energy. The smell of ozone. The feeling that something big is about to happen… when you know you’re in the calm before the storm. Welcome to Zord Ascension Project, the next evolution of Lightning Collection. We’re bringing our expertise in giant robots and experience with awesome collector figures into this never-been-done-before expression of some of the most iconic robots to ever grace the screen.

This Lightning Collection Zord Ascension Dino Megazord (MZ-0101) is a premium, collectible figure made with an incredible attention to detail and the love of true fans of sentai, Power Rangers, and awesome giant robots. Featuring 5 individual Zord figures that can combine to form the Dino Megazord — in both Tank and Battle Modes — this figure is a truly morphinominal addition to any fan’s shelf.

Includes: 5 Zord Figures and 10 accessories

  • 1:144-SCALE COLLECTIBLE FIGURE: This scale puts the Dino Megazord figure into the company of the great model kids and displays that exist
  • INSPIRED BY ORIGINAL CONCEPT ART: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is based on a Japanese sentai series called Zyuranger, and these figures are based on the original concept art for that
  • THE ULTIMATE DISPLAY PIECE, PART 1: Incredible detailing, including translucent pieces and specialized paint techniques to highlight the details of the Zords
  • A UNIQUE UNBOXING EXPERIENCE: We’re transporting you to the Zord Ascension Project and putting you inside the cockpit with premium packaging unlike anything you’ve seen before from Power Rangers
  • THE ULTIMATE DISPLAY PIECE, PART 2: A removeable faceplate showcases the cockpit of the Megazord, with sculpted Rangers inside
  • THE ULTIMATE DISPLAY PIECE, PART 3: Each Zord is designed with attention to that original concept art detail… easter eggs abound!
  • ZAP IS A WHOLE NEW ECOSYSTEM OF ZORD COLLECTIBILITY: MZ-0101 is only the beginning.

Figure scale: 1:144

This year was the second annual Hasbro PulseCon and it was one heck of a show!  Hasbro revealed brand new products for all of their major lines – including Power Rangers – and opened the floodgates on pre-orders for all the delicious plastic goodness that we’ve come to know and love.

After PulseCon, we were fortunate enough to be given an interview with John Warden (Design Director) and Jon Firestone (Marketing) from Hasbro’s Power Rangers team.  In our interview we ask about future accessories for figures still missing items in the Lightning Collection, we get intimate details on the Lord Zedd helmet, the decision behind releasing a second In Space Blue Ranger (with Galaxy Glider) so quickly after the first (VS two pack with Psycho Silver), and of course – the inaccuracies in the Lunar Wolf Silver Ranger figure.

They may have implied what can, and will, be fixed on the character before release?  Check out the full interview below!  Thanks again to Hasbro for this opportunity.  Check out tons of great products on HasbroPulse.com.

Threezero are continuing their licensing onslaught with the Power Rangers, kicking things off with a massive FigZero 1/6th scale box set. The set includes all 5 core Rangers along with Tommy aka the Green Ranger. These are available in a collector box that folds open to show them all lined up. Each one will also be available individually of course, but if you want the whole team in one shot, this box set is what to aim for.

Threezero was kind enough to send through a set to review, and we are taking a look across the network. You can check out the Black and Blue Rangers here at TokuNation. The Green and Pink Rangers are available over at PWRRNGR.com. And then to cap it off, check out the Red and Yellow Rangers are over on Toyark.com. The pics of the packaging and fancy hero shots are available at each.

These were due to ship in Q3 2021. As we all know by now, shipping is a mess globally so assume dates are shifting forward. Some folks who bought retail have received individual figures. The rest should be coming soon(ish), same for this box set. Hit your favorite Threezero stockist to grab your copies if you dig em!
