“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.

Check out our massive 75 image gallery of the Green Ranger & Putty after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. 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!

Easily the most exciting display of the weekend at this year’s Power Morphicon was the enormous amount of screen used props that Hasbro brought with them to the show. Ranging from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers all the way through Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, fans were given a treat seeing these props up close and personal.

So of course we busted out our camera and took as many high resolution pictures as we could! Who knows if or when we will ever see these again? Every single prop that was on display is pictured in this news story. Click the title of the story to see them all!

The biannual Power Morphicon has come and gone but we’re still sharing images from the event! There were so many things to take pictures of and so little time to do it that we’re still catching up! Hasbro pulled out all the stops in their first-ever Power Morphicon by cracking open the vaults and showing off some Legendary Rangers goodness in a number of costumes and props from the last 25 years.

We have taken high resolution photos of every single costume on display at the show. To check out all the delicious pictures, click the title of the story! Power Morphicon will return to Anaheim, California in 2020. We’ll see you there!
