IT’S MORPHIN’ TIME! 

We first caught wind that a Lightning Collection Zeo Blue Ranger maybe among the Lightning Collection Wave 4 releases thanks to some solicites that went up on Walmart’s website. Today, we’re given our first look at this figure thanks to some 3D Renders from a panel at London MCM Comic Con and hi-res photos from our friends at Hasbro.

Other figures that were listed in the wave included Beast Morphers Blaze, SPD Red Ranger, and Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger. With Zeo Ranger III Blue now offical, it remains to be seen if the other three listings are correct as well.

Starting with Wave 4, Lightning Collection Figures will increase to $21.49 USD, Lightning Collection Zeo Blue Ranger is expected to hit the shelves sometime in Fall 2020. You can currently pre-order Lightning Collection Zeo Blue Ranger from Entertainment Earth as well as GameStop.

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.

Renegade Game Studio’s Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid tabletop game came out last month and after a successful launch they’re back at it again with another Kickstarter campaign.

We’ve known for some time now that a Power Rangers: Zeo expansion was planned thanks to a Backer’s Choice poll that was held some time ago. The Evil Robot Clone of Dino Thunder Black is present on the banner, suffice to say that an expansion based on the Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel anniversary episode: Dimensions in Danger is also quite possibly in the works.

Other details are unknown at this time, but we’ll be sure to update you once the Kickstarter goes live on September 17th 2019.

“Back to action!”

It’s so fitting that in the first full year with the brand under new ownership, and with the recent announcement of this particular actor’s return, that Hasbro’s first convention exclusive would be centered around the ranger who began it all. Austin St. John is fondly remembered by fans old and young as Jason Lee Scott, both the original Red Ranger as well as the Zeo Gold Ranger. And this exclusive Lightning Collection two-pack celebrates both ahead of the character’s upcoming return for Power Rangers Beast Morphers in 2020!

Both of these figures are new mold entries for Lightning Collection. While similar in design and articulation layout to previous figures in the line, each brings something new to the table. The Dragon Shield Red Ranger is a wonderful figure that is absolutely armed to the teeth with Blade Blasters, the Dragon Dagger, and even a complete (and functional!) Power Blaster! Toss in a civilian head for display and this is a near perfect figure for MMPR fans. The Zeo Gold Ranger is likewise the kind of do-over many collector’s have hoped for since Bandai America’s cheese colored attempt at the character last year.  With two versions of the Golden Power Staff, an energy effect to compliment them, and another unique civilian Jason head, you have all the display options you could possibly need with this one too!

This two-pack cements Hasbro’s Lightning Collection as absolutely the best collector oriented line the franchise has ever gotten. We’ve packed 120 images into this gallery and we had a ton of fun doing it. Check out the full gallery and read through our complete review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t forget! If you haven’t been able to purchase this set yet, it will be going up for sale on Hasbro Pulse later this month. So be sure to keep an eye out for it.

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!
