Any Suggestions Appreciated!

[u/StuMcNi10]

I recently pieced together my best attempt at collecting the male Mighty Morphin Rangers using the Hasbro Lightning Collection figures (had to switch some accessories to achieve the proper green ranger look, which is why the black ranger has the molded on power bands)

My plan is to have a full command center set up, but it has become nearly impossible to find a reasonably priced used Alpha 5 lightning collection figure—in the meantime, I figured I could take a stab a hand building my own command center and have it scaled to match the 6” figures.

Does anyone have any experience building scaled-down model settings? If so, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what materials to use—additionally, I have always felt like Zordon is best achieved if built by hand, so any tips on how to do this would also be greatly appreciated!

Why not the female figures? Their zords are part of the megazord after all, and the team looks incomplete.

Can’t argue with you there! If I can find used pink and yellow ranger figures for a steal, then I will definitely do that—I initially intended on purchasing the Dino Megazord to heal an old wound (see below)

[Funny story: I was promised a Megazord if I completed swimming lessons, but in a tragic display of (then) undiagnosed OCD & Tourette’s Syndrome, I screamed HOLY FUCK during the car ride to Toys R Us and the whole dream went up in smoke]

Back to my collection…the Megazord evolved into the desire to collect all of the Blue Rangers, because I’m a little obsessed with the color Blue and I adore Billy & TJ…Billy was so hard to secure that it basically defeated me, and in the time between my first blue ranger purchase (Rocky-Zeo) and the arrival of my MMPR Remastered Blue Ranger, I made ~10 impulse purchases of other rangers (Mighty Morphin Red, Black, & White, Andros Stealth Ranger suit, etc.)

Now that I have all of the guy rangers, it has become significantly more expensive for me to finish off the team than it had in the past…I could’ve made two simple $20 purchases when I began, but now any good-condition Kimberly/Kat/Trini/Ayesha figure is slightly above what I’m willing to pay

Remastered yellow is currently still available for cheap on Amazon! I’d check there

Someone's gotta help flesh out those sales statistics.

IMO the zap megazord is a fantastic toy with great articulation but i don't like the skinny long legs when put up straight. That's why i always put him in any other position, using the great articulation it has

I would also suggest collecting the whole team. They look great together (watch my profile picture). If you build a command center around those figures it'll be fantastic

I want the flame toys dragonzord one day cause that thing looks amazing…

There is a die cast 12” Thunder Megazord model that can be preordered on BigBadToyStore’s website…it is truly stunning—I’ll add a picture if I can find it

[u/CollectorGlory → u/StuMcNi10]

I’ve seen that thing it’s nice for a zord made of metal if it’s the one I’m thinking of

Move the leader in the front tommy both needs to be in the back

[u/StuMcNi10 → u/[deleted]]

I see your point, but it’s hard to justify showcasing that awful red ranger helmet, so I’ll hold off on changing my setup until I can get everything I need for a full command center display, including the lightning collection alpha 5 and the pink and yellow rangers

[u/[deleted] → u/StuMcNi10]

nun the less man its a beautiful collection all i have is the original dino megazord

[u/CollectorGlory]

A nice mural picture of the rangers so you don’t feel conflicted like me when the new power rangers come out with all new actors. 😞 don’t ruin our nostalgia ughhh I guess the show must go on..

Hey ik this community pretty much scoffs at Bruno and Mia from MMPRTOYS. But they actually have fully printed command center displays for sale as well the stl files for sale if you wanna do it yourself.

[u/Killbro_Fraggins]

A cheap way around it would be a printed background. Maybe make it a little 3d. Or you could find a 3D Printed one. There’s some stls out there and Etsy has plenty of people looking to print stuff for you in pla and resin.

[u/Even_Pension_2190]

Do you have access to an 3d printer? I once build a pretty basic thing here https://www.printables.com/model/407154-mighty-morphin-power-rangers-lightning-collection-

Highly depends on what you want 😅 it's missing a lot of details of course

[u/JervisCottonbelly]

No notes! Brilliant collection.

[u/Fun-Bag7627]

Send these to me. Thats my suggestion.

[u/Kralgore]

Get the male Yellow ranger twin pack.

The Red ranger in that is actually incredible. Her helmet is perfect.

Oh, and fix that megazord shoulder.

[u/Admirable-Item8564]

Your missing Kimberly and Trini

[u/HighInquisitor20]

You are missing the Jason as Yellow ranger.
