Hasbro has announced the new Power Rangers Lightning Collection. They are the Power Rangers version of the Star Wars Black Series. The first wave has the White Ranger (Mighty Morphin), Red Ranger (Dino Charge), Lord Zedd (Mighty Morphin), and the Shadow Ranger (SPD). On Saturday Hasbro dropped the surprise that we will be getting Goldar in the Lightning Collection, but he is going to be a Game Stop Exclusive. I hate exclusives, but hey at least we seem to be getting cool figures right! As a true Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fan I only care about the White Ranger, Lord Zedd and Goldar. The rest are just… not on my purchase list.

I’m really curious how these are going to compare to my SH Figuarts rangers. I have the complete Mighty Morphin Power Rangers set (red, blue, black, yellow, pink, green, and white). I think the SH Figuarts figures are the best version of the rangers that have been made. The posability and detail I think is outstanding. The one thing I am excited about with this line is that there will be some villains for my rangers to battle. That was something my SH Figuarts were missing. I mean who are they going to fight? Right now they just do cool poses on my shelf…

They all look really impressive. They look very similar to my SH Figuarts figures. I consider that a very good sign, but only time will tell. These look to be A LOT cheaper than my SH Figuarts and I’m always about saving money! Mostly cause I’m cheap…
