“Alpha, Rita’s escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!”
10,000 years ago the evil witch Rita Repulsa waged a war against the forces of good, but standing in her way was the mighty Zordon of Eltar! A wise wizard of the light, Zordon and his allies rallied the forces of good for as long as they could, until Rita banished him to a trans-dimensional time warp. Likewise Zordon managed to seal the witch and her henchman away for eternity, almost. Knowing she may escape one day Zordon prepared for her return, taking up watch on Earth from his Command Center with his friend and caretaker Alpha 5. With the original 5 Power Coins in his possession, Zordon would be ready when the time came, to create the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Finally the mentor of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and his ally arrive. It’s been 10 years since the last attempt to make Alpha 5 & Zordon in a retail toyline. This go around they come in the collector oriented Power Rangers Lightning Collection in 6″ scale and feature stellar articulation on Alpha and electronic lights for Zordon. Surprisingly Alpha is an incredibly dynamic figure while Zordon is the static piece you’d most likely have expected. The only accessory included in the set is a really wonderful call back to the very first episode of hte series, Alpha’s teddy bear which he holds tightly when finding out Rita has escaped. Overall this 2-pack does everything it sets out to do and gives us a really version of both characters in this line.

“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.

“Dino Thunder, power up!”
Connor McKnight could have never guessed that his teacher, Dr. Tommy Oliver, was once a Power Ranger. But after accidentally bonding with an ancient Dino Gem, becoming a Power Ranger himself with his two best friends, and facing off against the forces of an evil dinosaur mutant bent on returning Earth to the age of dinosaurs, nothing surprises him now. With power from within and the roar of the T-Rex in his heart, Connor has become the Dino Thunder Red Ranger! Protectors of the right, defenders sworn to fight, together Connor Ethan & Kira are the Power Rangers Dino Thunder!
The 3rd release from Power Rangers Dino Thunder is here! Following on from the White Ranger and Fighting Spirit Green Ranger, the Dino Thunder Red Ranger brings a bit more heroic red presence to your collection, and a ton of accessories along with it. Equipped with the Thundermax Blaster & Saber, Connor also comes with a brand new unique effect part for the saber, the Tyranno Staff, extra hands and an unmasked head based on the likeness of Connor’s actor James Napier! That’s quite the complete package for this figure.

“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!
