“Zack here, this is kicking!”

An interdimensional wizard asking him to defend the earth from a 10,000 year old witch may have been just too weird for Zack Taylor, at first. But faced with a choice, let monsters attack him and his friends or step up and defend the Earth, he was always going to do the right thing. Clever & brave, Zack was gifted the powers of the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger & the powerful Mastodon Dinozord! Protecting Earth from the likes of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd, Zack was the first in a long line of Black Powers Rangers and powerful black heroes.

Finally rounding out the core team of the original 5 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger brings us around to our 2nd release for Zack Taylor in the line. First released in his Dragon Shield form, this standard variant gives us  many of the same accessories. The Power Axe is a straight repack and the effect for it cast in new colors, we get a pair of hands, the Blade Blaster gun mode as well as a brand new sculpt for the sword/blade mode, and we get an all new unmasked headsculpt based on the likeness of Zack’s actor Walter Jones! That’s more than enough variety to warrant purchasing this character again in my opinion.

“Get off our planet!”

Billy Cranston was an average kid with a way beyond average intellect. Making his way through high school with his friends was hard enough, before a benevolent inter-dimensional being chose him and 4 others to protect the Earth from an ancient evil sorceress! Patient & wise, Billy was gifted the powers of the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger & the powerful Triceratops Dinozord! Part of an incredible team, Billy defended the Earth for years to come as it’s one and only Blue Ranger. When things changed, Billy was always there with a steady hand and strong mind to help guide the Power Rangers towards victory.

The Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger finally rounds out our reviews of the Lightning Collection Wave 5 figures, and brings us close to having the full MMPR team. Armed with the Tricera Lance in both forms as well as his Blade Blaster Billy is ready to face any threat. Of course some extra hands, and energy effect, and an unmasked head based on the likeness of actor David Yost also round out this release! Next time we revisit MMPR one more time to round out the final standard member of the team with the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger!

“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.

“It’s Morphin’ Time!”

Jason Lee Scott, was just a normal high school student. That is until an inter-dimensional being and his robot sidekick recruited the budding martial artist to be a hero. Jason, along with 4 of his friends, were transported to the Command Center, bestowed with the powers of the ancient dinosaurs, and tasked with a mission. Defeat Rita Repulsa and her evil monsters and defend the Earth as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! With mighty Morphers and a massive Megazord, Jason lead the Power Rangers in their fight against Rita, and even greater evils to come!

The Power Rangers Lightning Collection has moved swiftly in the last year, Wave 4 having been recently found at retail and a two-pack featuring Rita & Zedd having been revealed as well. Our review of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger finally rounds out our reviews of Wave 3. A bit more of a standard release if you’ve had an experience with the male MMPR mold before, the Red Ranger is still a welcome sight for anyone who didn’t manage to get the SDCC 2019 two-pack featuring the Dragon Shield version of the figure. With a Blade Blaster, Power Sword, lightning effect, and a civilian head, this release makes for a perfect entry in any collection.

“You haven’t been fighting us, you’ve been fighting for your life.”

 

When Tommy Oliver became a high school teacher, he certainly never imagined he’d be a Power Ranger again. 12 years on from his first turn as a ranger though, the Power Rangers Dino Thunder needed more than just a mentor, they needed an ally. And so the Dino Thunder Black Ranger was born! Now comatose though, Dr. O must prove he still has the Fighting Spirit. Facing off against his past, Tommy grapples with Zeo Ranger V, the White Ranger, and the Green Ranger! When 5 teenagers with attitude were chosen to defend the Earth, their skills were put to the test against the Putty Patrollers! Created by Finster, these loyal foot soldiers of Rita Repulsa and later Lord Zedd, would menace the ranger for years to come. But these clay cretins were never more powerful or deadly than during the era of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

This must-have 2-pack from Hasbro’s Lightning Collection recreates yet another brilliant one-off form with the Fighting Spirit Green Ranger. And, it will satisfy long time fans with absolutely the best rendition of the Putty ever. Repeating the quality standard that the Dragon Shield Red & Black Rangers have given us so far, the Green Ranger fills a unique hole for collectors, filling out your MMPR lineup and beginning your Dino Thunder one. The Putty meanwhile is an extremely versatile and poseable figure with one of the best head and limb sculpts in the line. With a pack loaded down with the Dragon Dagger, Sword of Darkness, alternate Putty weapon arms, extra hands, and effect parts, it’s hard to find anything to dislike here.

You can also read through our full in depth review there. Next time, we enter the Morphin Grid with a brand gallery from Power Rangers Beast Morphers!

“Sit tight buddy, I’ll take care of this guy!”

Set to impress Angela with a pair of pearl earrings for their big date, Zack has no idea that Rita Repulsa has tricked him into taking the Pearls of Stillness! Spellbound to freeze everyone as soon as they’re worn, the Power Rangers as well as Zack’s date are stuck. Now it’s up to Zack & Tommy to face off against the Oysterizer on their own. And in a moment of need, the Green Ranger’s mighty shield can be passed to another. Wielding the Dragon Shield himself, the Black Ranger takes on the Oysterizer!

You may recall that this form was the basis of an SDCC 2014 S.H. Figuarts exclusive, which I reviewed way back when. 5 years on and we’re getting a brand new take on it with this Lightning Collection figure. The Dragon Shield Black Ranger (5 years ago known as the Armored Black Ranger) originates from the “Zyu2” era of Saban commissioned & Toei produced footage to flesh out the end of MMPR season 1. So this interesting form is exclusive to American aired footage and believe it or not, this unique power up is featured in less than 1 minute of actual screen time. That’s it! But once again we’ve been treated to a truly wonderful figure of this unique design. Armed with the Blade Blaster and Power Axe this figure will be a perfect addition to your already Mighty Morphin collection.

“What’s that you usually yell about now?
Something about ‘Morphin Time,’ isn’t it?”

For 4 seasons and 2 movies, one villain has been an ever present threat to the Power Rangers. This mighty winged has waged wars on countless worlds, making his mark across the universe. But after being freed from a 10,000 year slumber, the Power Rangers of Earth became his greatest foes. For millennia, he has served at the beck and call of his empress, Rita Repulsa. And even before that, he was a loyal general in the armies of the fearsome Lord Zedd. Born on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, the shining warrior Goldar is a force for all heroes to reckon with.

A Gamestop Exclusive, Lightning Collection Goldar has easily become one of the most in demand figures in this line. As the first truly modern action figure the character has received, there was quite a bit of hype surrounding it’s release. Pairing your Goldar up with Lord Zedd or the recently released Putty, a real army is starting to take shape to take on your Power Rangers. LC Goldar is armed with his signature sword as well as a pretty lethal looking effect part to accent it, and his iconic golden wings. As a standalone figure Goldar may have a handful of issues, but as a part of your larger Power Rangers collection he’ll feel right at home.

Check out our full 60+ image gallery of Goldar after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. You can also read through our full review of the figure in that thread. We’ll be back soon with a look at the future in our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz!
