A surprising new entry for the Power Rangers Lightning Collection has just turned up in stores!
Ranger fan MCUcollector24 found a Lightning Collection Power Rangers Dino Charge Black Ranger at a Target store in North Carolina.
This figure was not revealed in any previous listings, and may be part of the Lightning Collections’ sixth wave- whose full count remains unconfirmed at time of writing.
Be sure to follow our Ongoing Lightning Collection Discussion Thread for any more updates on this unique find!
“I am Sir Ivan, Knight of Zandar!”
The Red Ranger spent a decade searching for his father. Suspecting that Fury is the key to the disappearance of James Navarro, Tyler won’t give up until his father’s fate is known. Now, thanks to the Gold Energem the secret hidden deep within Fury, is out! Fury has held his host prisoner for hundreds of years, but now nothing can contain this 800 year old warrior! The truth of James Navarro is still a mystery, but a piece of history has been found. Ivan, the Knight of Zandar awakens from his ancient slumber as the Dino Charge Gold Ranger! And he owes Fury, about 8 centuries of payback.
The Dino Charge Gold Ranger is the third Gold Ranger that the Lightning Collection has given us so far, as well as the second Dino Charge ranger. Released in the recent Wave 3 alongside the likes of Lord Drakkon, Dino Charge Gold builds off the previous DC Red Ranger mold. While a few details are missing in the final figure, and the color will be hotly debated, this is another great addition to any Power Rangers collection. Armed with the Gold Ptera Morpher and Ptera Saber, the Gold Ranger even includes a civilian head featuring the like of Ivan’s actor, Davi Santos!

“Unleash the power!”
Arriving in Amber Beach to find his missing father, Tyler Navarro could never imagine what really lay ahead for him. By chance both he and soon to be allies make contact with the Energems! Ancient crystals that channel the Morphin Grid and the energy of the universe. Entrusted to the ancient dinosaurs by the mysterious Keeper, these Energems have chosen Tyler and the others to be the next generation of Power Rangers! To defend the Earth, to defeat the villainous Sledge and his crew, to unlock the ultimate power of the universe, in a world full of strife the Dino Charge Red Ranger fights to survive!
The Lightning Collection line has been going strong for the better part of a year now. Pumping out regular releases in the form of full waves, two-packs, and store exclusive single figures has made it hard to keep up on occasion. But finally we’ve made our way back around to finish off Wave 1 with the Dino Charge Red Ranger! An overlooked gem of the first wave, DC Red is a solidly constructed figure with a lot more fine detail than you notice at first glance. Armed with the Dino Charge Morpher, the Dino Saber, an effect part, extra hands, and an unmasked head, this figure is the total package.
