“Now then… about that new power…”
In the world we know, when Rita Repula’s evil spell was broken, the Green Ranger joined the side of good. The prophecy fulfilled, the earth was defended by all 6 Power Rangers! But in another time, Tommy Oliver sought to control his Earth. Conquering it right alongside Rita, the two and their armies destroyed all remaining good in the world. Stopping Jason just short of becoming the White Ranger, Tommy killed his one time fried and took the power for his own. Forcing the White & Green Ranger’s power coins together, Tommy created an unstoppable power. Taking on as his own the name of Rita’s former protege, Tommy was reborn as Lord Drakkon!
The smash hit character of Boom! Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics finally arrives in the Lightning Collection line! Lord Drakkon has been a figure many hoped would find it’s way to this line quickly. So it’s crazy to think that it was only revealed least month and now it’s already hitting store shelves. Another excellent addition to the line, Lord Drakkon is primarily built off of the MMPR White Ranger mold, though it’s armed with Drakkon’s own ornate armor. Complimented by his own Dragon Dagger, Lord Drakkon is ready to conquer your Lightning Collection.
Check out over 90 images of Lightning Collection Lord Drakkon after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery and review thread. Next time we return to the world of Kamen Rider with another new gallery from Kamen Rider Zi-O!
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.
“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!
Power Rangers Lightning Collection Wave 3 was only just revealed to the world. Almost immediately some reports of them being found in the wild even turned up on the US West Coast. And while we wish we had then in hand ourselves, we do have the next best thing.
Our very own ZeoRangerV AKA Alex is attending London MCM Comic Con. And before interviewing Hasbro’s reps at the show, he had the chance to grab some pics at their booth. So feast your eyes on Lightning Collection Wave 3; Lord Drakkon, Beast Morphers Blue Ranger, Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, and Dino Charge Gold Ranger!
We’ll be back later today with Alex’s full interview with Hasbro at London MCM Comic Con! For now, please join our Ongoing Lightning Collection Discussion Thread linked below. Just click “Discuss in the TokuNation Forums.”
As usual, it’s best to take this one with some degree of skepticism. Back in mid-August we got word of an upcoming wave of new Lightning Collection figures coming from Hasbro. While we’ve yet to physically see these releases taking shape, these figure’s coded listings in Walmart systems have certainly given us something to salivate over.
Now, Walmart is at it again. Thanks to frequent news breaker @PowerRangersTalk, we have information of several brand new and more obviously named listings in Walmarts computer systems:
– MMPR Yellow Ranger
– SPD Red Ranger
– Beast Morphers Blaze
– Zeo Ranger III Blue
Once again, we haven’t gotten official word of these releases, or in fact the previously discovered wave, from Hasbro just yet. But given the dearth of information on anything beyond what’s currently at retail, we’re banking on having more information and images of any upcoming releases in the near future.
In the latest update for the ever popular Power Rangers Battle For the Grid, the content of the new Season 2 Pass DLC has just been revealed!
The Season 2 pass includes new characters sure to please players, but the biggest news is the SPD Shadow Ranger, who’s been released today! Accompanying Doggie Cruger for Season 2 are Eric Meyers the Time Force Quantum Ranger as well as a new Tommy Oliver character skin as the MMPR White Ranger! And the most surprising addition of all, is the Order of the Claws very own Jerrod/Dai Shi!
