There’s been some (alot) of debate and speculation in recent weeks regarding the exact Makeup of Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection Wave 4. Multiple site listings, statements from Hasbro as well as it’s reps at cons, and leaked information have led to some degree of confusion about what to expect from the wave.

The biggest mystery has been wether or not this would indeed be a 4 figure wave as previous leaks had shown. Thankfully we now know for certain, because of confirmation from the Official Power Rangers Twitter that there will indeed be a 4th figure. And given previous store listings that have confirmed the last 2 waves, it’s all but certain this figure will be the Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger. Though which Yellow Ranger is currently up for speculation.

This tweet also provided new official images of the 3 previously revealed figures of wave 4; Beast Morphers Blaze, Zeo Ranger III Blue, and the SPD Red Ranger. The significance here is that these images fully breakdown the accessories for each figure. And it’s looking like so far Blaze will be the clear winner in that department. We are expecting the 4th and fina figure of this wave to be revealed very soon. Keep up with all of the  latest Lightning Collection updates in our ongoing discussion thread, linked below.

With Bandai’s very retro Super Minipla Sun Vulcan Robo and Jaguar Vulcan looming just over the horizon, the time is ripe to unveil the next entry in the Super Minipla line up: as you might’ve already figured it out, it will be none other than Super Minipla Victory Robo from Kyukyu Sentai GoGo Five or as some of our Power Rangers readers will know it as: the Lightspeed Megazord.

Thus far, only the featured reference sketch for the pair of mecha was found online we have no indication on when these two will see a release but we’ll be sure to update you once more information becomes available.
