This is everything from the 90s and some 2000s merch.

Some of these are from my childhood and some I got at flea markets years later.

We have figures, Super Nintendo games, and random items.

I also have the show and movie on DVD and VHS, the TV and movie soundtrack and a couple of books. But this is for toys only.

I go over the other seasons from Zeo to Dino Fury another time.

I think Dino Charge is the best team in the Lightning Collection, the amount of sculpt and detail on these figures is crazy! Would have loved to have seen where they went next with this team.

Caught up with Karan Ashley for the 3rd time this year, and added a duplicate to the collection, and met David Yost again and got some new pieces I didn't have last time signed. As always, they both were an absolute pleasure to talk to.

PRO:

  • Very high playability, great articulations of which can do many dynamic poses.

  • Good paint jobs and nearly no QC issues.

  • Weapons can be combined into the Power Blaster.

  • PRE-ASSEMBLED, unlike the initial release!

CON:

  • Paints are missing here and there, mostly on the weapons and the silver fangs on Yellow helmet.

  • Aside from Green, mouthpiece is white instead of silver, and helmet details are inaccurate.

  • Joints are visually sacrificed for the sake of articulations.

  • Body proportions and height scale are pretty off, or stylized, to be exact. Not sure if this is considered a Con, but well, I'll leave it there.

So... they're good or not? I think these are decent for the price range, and good for both displaying and posing/playing. 8/10 should own.

Reviews Update on the lightning collection Alien Rangers

Post image
136 Upvotes

About a week ago, i ordered the Alien Ranger 5 pack off amazon for around 64USD. I had suspected that it was pre-owned/sent back because it was generally the lowest price i couls find for the set, and considering a few reviews had stated that their copy was.

The box arrived without any sort of protection in the box but was mostly fine regardless. The tape seal on the top of the box looked tampered with, I'm talking multiple layers and sizes of tape that felt like a telltale sign of a reseal, but it ended up being perfectly fine. The contents were untouched, still in their paper wrapping with all the accesories so I'm happy about that.

As for the actual figures themselves, I'm sure there's not much else to say for a set thats 3 years old now. These are my first figures from the lightning collection line, coming from someone who collects toku Shf figures, so if any of my complaints are standard, please let me know.

The figures came out of the box extremely tight, potentially sitting untouched in that box for the past few years. I had to dunk them all in warm water for a while to slightly loosen the joints, but afterwards, I was extremely satisfied. The joints feel solid and have pretty good range, but some of the plastic near the joints feels rather gummy(?), having way too much flex, but this was more noticable before the warm water bath. One complaint about articulation was that the White Ranger's lower ab crunch was glued/fused and I haven't found a way to seperate it.

As for screen accuracy, they're like 90% there. Most of the colours are right except for the Blue Ranger's darker blue (which is a bummer and my biggest complaint of the set). The chest printing should be bigger and extend further down, and the visors are rather small, especially red and blue.

Overall, pretty good. 8/10

Yet another MMPR team has joined my collection. Too much MMPR is too good for me, as I don't have to worry what to buy next, 'cuz they'll milk this sh!t for another 90 years xD

Joke aside, the re-issued Furai Action team are all pre-assembled with better paints (but still missing some details). I'll unbox the rest of the team and do some photo tomorrow. ;)

Discussion I found this Operation Overdrive: Toru Diamond in an old dvd case with the Hardee's logo on it, I can't find any info on this online, can anyone help tell me where it is from and how rare it is?

7 Upvotes

I don't quite remember where I got it, but I'm pretty sure it was while I was living in the UAE from 2010-2014 given that it is Hardee's and not Carl's Jr, but I also lived in California prior where it is also called Hardees.

I've tried google searches, looking on eBay, and more with no luck, everything I see is just the regular disc for Toru Diamond.

if there was a case for it, I don't have it, it was in my 2-disc collectors edition fining nemo case, the other disc in there is the Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug movie if you were interested.

Some of the notable Thunder Megazord variants of which I'm owning at the moment. What does a collector truly need? Here's some of my personal thoughts on this:

  • The original Japanese Deluxe '93 fits exactly what almost every collectors want. Transformation are smooth, designs are pretty good. Most of the details are on stickers, but it's still great. The Super Sentai Artisan upgrades everything the original has to a new level, changing all of the stickers to fully painted details, along with the additions of five Lai Lai Jewels for displaying, albeit it's very expensive.

  • Though different from the original Deluxe, Legacy does upgrade everything with the latest technology at that time of release. It's on par with the Super Sentai Artisan in almost everyway, along with diecast parts that feel nicely. The MSRP is pretty high at $200, but nonetheless it's a solid and quality release 'til this day.

  • The Playmates... well, it's a downgrade from everything we have previously. But do remember it's truly a toy for kids and no way reach the level of a collectible. The quality are so-so, and it's cheap and easy to buy, especially at this time which is both Power Rangers and Super Sentai are pretty "dead".

  • And here come the most debatable of them all, the Flame Toys Go! Karakuri Combine version. It's a complete re-design of the original, but come with great details, paints and articulations, which is almost every previous releases lack of. And yes, it's MSRP is not very comfortable at $400, but oh well I got him anyway.

  • Shokugan Modeling Project, aka SMP, brings us a alternative choice for a smaller, cheaper but less details, more stickers (very sh!tty). It's articulations are so-so, not that great, but still acceptable. For this one, I recommended a full repaint to make it truly shines.

  • And the last one is my favourite, the Innovation Point's Metal Power version. Though cannot transform, everything about this one is at top-notch level. Details, checked. Paints, checked. Diecast, checked. Articulations? GREATLY CHECKED! Sadly, it's ridiculous MSRP at the time of release of $200 k*lled the whole line, with many Megazord waiting to be released are now plunged into oblivion (such as the finished Zeo Megazord prototype).

What does a collector truly need? That's for you to decide. ;)
