“We’re the Power Rangers!”
When 5 teenagers with attitude were chosen to defend the Earth, each of them was given access to a universe of power. Transported to the Command Center, and introduced to the quirky robot Alpha 5 & the inter-dimensional being Zordon of Eltar, these young heroes were bestowed with the strength of the ancient dinosaurs. Fearless and agile, Trini Kwan was honored with the powers of the mighty Saber-Toothed Tiger Dino Zord! Power Daggers in hand, Trini joined her teammates as they battled the likes of Goldar, Scorpina, and the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa!
Hasbro continues checking off the list of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with another Lightning Collection release! The Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger joins a slew of her teammates in various forms rounding out Wave 4 of the series as well. Joining the likes of Zeo Ranger III Blue, the Cyber Villain Blaze, & the SPD Red Ranger. So how does Trini Kwan stack up to the rest of the original team? Well she includes the now standard unmasked head, doubles up on effect parts, has both her Power Daggers, and a Blade Blaster! Read on, to our full thread for an in-depth review of this figure.

Now that Wave 4 is out of the way and we’re still on the hunt for Wave 5, we’re taking a turn back into Kamen Rider with a run of galleries from Build, Zi-O, & Zero-One!
“Zeo Ranger Three – Blue!”
Rocky DeSantos was a Power Ranger. And not just any ranger, but the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger! Inheriting a legacy of power from Jason Lee Scott, Rocky helped defend Angel Grove and the world from the likes of Lord Zedd & Rita Repulsa. But as the Machine Empire descended toward Earth, the Command Center lay in ruins. And the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, were destroyed. But unknown to our heroes, Alpha 5 & Zordon have spent years preparing for this time. A day when the Power Rangers as we know them, are gone forever, and a new fighting force must take their place. The Power Rangers Zeo! Imbued with the energy of the Blue Zeo Crystal, Rocky once again heeds the call to defend Earth, but this time as Zeo Ranger III, BLUE!
The Blue Zeo Ranger is the 2nd Power Rangers Zeo entry in Hasbro’s Lightning Collection lineup, soon to be following by a second outing of the Gold Ranger as Trey of Triforia. Rocky utilizes the same base mold as the Gold Ranger save for some accent changes. A solidly built figure, the Blue Ranger release also includes the Zeo Laser Pistol, the Zeo Power Pod Sword, an effect part for it, 2 extra hands, and an unmasked Rocky head. All in all a pretty great release, though it does have a few design caveats to dive into.

We’ll be back shortly with a Mighty Morphin gallery of the Lightning Collection Yellow Ranger as well!
“Hey rookies, meet my new friends.”
Blaze was meant to be a hero, a Power Ranger! Trained by Grid Battleforce with his teammates Roxy & Ravi, Blaze was chosen to become the Red Ranger. But on the day the team should have formed, fate and Evox, intervened. Taking the essence of Blaze and his abilities, Evox has created an Avatar of the would be hero, a new Cyber Villain general to lead his armies of Tronics & Robotrons! Now what began as a simple grudge between the original Blaze & Devon Daniels has morphed into something else entirely, as the would be ranger turned avatar battles the man who’s taken his place, the new Red Ranger……
Blaze joins the ever growing Power Rangers Lightning Collection as one of a handful of evil rangers in the line. An excellent addition, Blaze brings with him an intricately detailed sculpt with all the articulation hallmarks we’ve come to expect from this line, as well as a ton of accessories. Blaze is armed with extra hands, both his sword & an effect part for it and even the Robotron-Maker briefcase/laptop, but also includes an alternate unmasked head featuring a brilliant likeness of Blaze actor Colby Strong! As far as villains go, Blaze may be the best one in the line yet.
