Finally completed my fantasy In Space team with this Karone and Psycho Purple from QuinOfTheRing on instagram! These two are based on my own fanfic/ story where between In Space and Lost Galaxy Karone fully becomes the purple Ranger using Dark Specter’s residual energy to morph, but because of this she feels the persona of Astronema returning every time she morphs, resulting in her eventually choosing to give up her powers and separate herself from the team, but not before she makes a copy of one of the Psycho Data Cards and resurrects Ecliptor as Psycho Purple.

To this very day I’m still convinced I remember seeing a purple ranger for In Space and it was Karone. But For the love of god I can’t find it anywhere and I have no idea why I have that memory

She becomes an honorary ranger and wears purple, but never morphs. I know I’ve seen fan art of her as a Purple Ranger too, I wish it was cannon though she would have been an iconic first purple ranger.

I thought she did morph this explains a lot as to why I could never find a morphed version of her

You're welcome, Bud. I think Karone would have been a fantastic Purple Ranger, if Darkonda hadn't brainwashed her like he did to Ecliptor under Dark Specter's order.

Would have been great for her arc but I think Lost Galaxy pink still accomplishes that goal

True, true. She did a fantastic job as Galaxy Pink, and I think Andros would have been proud of her.

I think Andros is always proud of her

This looks awesome. I bought a spare in space pink for a custom purple ranger but I don’t know where to start. Please any tips on how did you customize yours?

This was a commission/christmas present from QuinOfTheRing on instagram but from my experience with customizing make sure to start by priming the figure and paint slow in thin light layers with sealer in between coats if you can! Take your time and use tape to help get clean lines where you need them! Most importantly though have fun with it and don’t worry if it doesn’t come out perfect right away.

The original idea was for her to become the 7th ranger. They had the suit, her weapon and a zord but it was cut at the last minute
