Last night’s SDCC preview didn’t give us much in the way of new product to salivate over, but that’s changed today. The first new product’s from Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection are on display!

At the annual Hasbro Breakfast just now we got our first look at a brand new two-pack featuring the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger in his slightly altered “Fighting Spirit” costume, silver stripe and all! And his opponent is none other than the classic Season 1 Mighty Morphin Putty! Green Ranger of course features the signature silver Stripe the costume gained from the Fighting Spirit episode of Power Rangers Dino Thunder. He includes the Dragon Dagger, Sword of Darkness, a Tommy Oliver head, and green energy effects. Meanwhile his opponent the Putty, includes some alternate weapon arms and and attack effect part! This set will retail for $39.99 and be available to pre-order through a number of online retailers including Hasbro Pulse, Gamestop, Big Bad Toy Store, and Entertainment earth.

As we approach SDCC 2019, many collector’s are expecting a number of new Power Rangers Lightning Collection reveals. While the SDCC exclusive Red & Gold Ranger 2-pack was revealed earlier this month, we had yet to see any new announcements for retail release.

The LIGHTNING COLLECTION’s highly-articulated, 6-inch figures will have best-in-class detailing and design, and will feature Photo Real technology for realistic actor likenesses.

“They have won this time but none of us shall rest,
until the rangers are completely destroyed and the Earth is reduced to mere cinders!”

Rita Repulsa has had enough chances. After ruling over darker parts of the universe, Lord Zedd has returned! The emperor of evil tasked Rita with conquering Earth, defeating Zordon, and destroying the Power Rangers. With her inability to do so, he has returned to do that job himself! With an army of super strong Putties, more powerful monsters, and an insatiable rage against heroes, could Lord Zedd finally defeat the Power Rangers?

Joining Habro’s Lightning Collection line as it’s debut villain, Lord Zedd is such a welcome addition to the line. A wonderfully sculpted and detailed figure, Zedd captures the essence of his on screen presence perfectly. Absolutely the best articulated figure of the character ever, Zedd can menace any of your ranger figures. Armed with his iconic Z-Staff, a Monster Growth Bomb, energy effect, and an extra pair of hands, this is a must own for any Power Rangers fans.

Check out 50+ images of Lightning Collection Lord Zedd after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full review thread. We’ll be back soon with more galleries from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Power Rangers Beast Morphers, and more!
