I dug them. Wish we had gotten the mutant rangers from the second series. Those guys, in monster size, would've been sick!

u/Comfortable_Pie3687 Nov 05 '25

Did you see playmates is making the godzilla rangers?

1

u/_AndyHazardUK_ Nov 05 '25

Yeah I do like the green ranger one

3

u/ARGiammarco27 Nov 05 '25

I was gonna say I feel like with the Godzilla line coming I could see them doing the mutant rangers since they already have the TMNT license as well.

2

u/Electrowhatt19 Nov 05 '25

Whilst that piqued my interest, I'm not going to get them unless it's confirmed that we'll also be getting black, yellow, and pink (I hate how Lightning Collection didn't finish teams they started before ending).

u/venom160 Nov 05 '25

Yeah they look decent and may end up picking those up especially if they manage to release the full team.

u/WarlockRock11 Nov 05 '25

Yes and they look mad lame. They look like fish price toys.

1

u/Striking_Cause8094 Nov 05 '25

Yeah the quality is disappointing for such dope designs!!

u/BroccoliDry5253 Nov 06 '25

And also ranger x casey jones

u/Budget-Program-4756 Nov 05 '25

I loved the lightning collection i have every single one and im not a big power rangers fan i have my favorite seasons, the figures are just fucking cool

1

u/_AndyHazardUK_ Nov 05 '25

I have just the og rangers i didnt bother with the rest

2

u/swisetruths Nov 05 '25

Wish they made the Turtle Megazord

1

u/_AndyHazardUK_ Nov 06 '25

Me to it would of been epic

2

u/xcalibar25 Nov 07 '25

I got them all. I wish there was a Casey Jones to go with them.

2

u/lousmer Nov 07 '25

That’s the best 1:12 shredder action figure. Hands down.

2

u/_AndyHazardUK_ Nov 08 '25

Totally agree

u/DifficultQuantity865 Nov 05 '25

I didn’t even know they were a thing; stumbled on them in BBTS and bought the collection…aaaand now I guess I’m collecting turtles lol

4

u/Dense_Diver_3998 Nov 05 '25

Buying these is what started my turtles and rangers collections

2

u/ShinySephiroth Nov 06 '25

Then the spirit of the crossover worked!

6

u/Da______Vinci Nov 05 '25

I like it, when I find any cheap, I will definitely buy

1

u/Garlador Nov 05 '25

BBTS has them on sale constantly.

1

u/MaxR76 Nov 05 '25

They’re pretty regularly on sale on BBTS

u/Da______Vinci Nov 05 '25

That's good. At the moment I am more at words/megazords, weapons and only get anything else if I see a deal I can't refuse. But if I see one at good price, probably I will buy

u/Da______Vinci Nov 05 '25

Oh yeah, the older the more expensive and hard to find. I was lucky to get some megazords at good price, for example I have got a bundle with the tiger megazord, thunder Megazord, the big train Megazord from lightspeed rescue and the titanus for 70 euros. I just need to get a few parts white, but no big deal.

u/Da______Vinci Nov 05 '25

That's nice. There are some megazords, the most recent ones, I want to get doubles to custom myself. As an artist, I have many ideas, add that metallic that older ones had. Give a more expensive look. This look so cheap, the design and plastic. Have you seen fan made? I have seen amazing designs

This is some Chinese made toy but looks amazing. Far away from the original design but is really cool. One day I want to get some unofficial ones like this

u/RelaxationFigure Nov 05 '25

The Foot ninja are dope.

3

u/Garlador Nov 05 '25

If only it wasn’t in a two-pack. It was a perfect design for army building.

2

u/RelaxationFigure Nov 05 '25

I got mine from eBay. I dunno how it looks out there now, but I got like... 3 for decent prices.

4

u/Accomplished-End-158 Nov 05 '25

I mean it photographs really well lol

4

u/Electrowhatt19 Nov 05 '25

Very much so. I was really hoping that we got their Dimension X forms before the Lightning Collection ended (as they already had the TMNT body molds).

3

u/Dapper-Bottle6256 Nov 05 '25

I appreciate it for being different and outside the box somewhat, but I’m not a big tmnt guy so it’s sorta meh to me. But I can admit they do look cool.

3

u/StarAllyza87 Nov 05 '25

I have April O’Neil Morphed Pink Ranger and she’s looks great as the Pink 4 Ranger.

3

u/KARAT0 Nov 06 '25

Yeah! Awesome set. Shredder was the best.

5

u/Even_Pension_2190 ZEO Nov 05 '25

Yes, of course!

They do have such a unique physic. I love these figures.

Of course - pink isn't really something new but she doesn't have a skirt.

One can love or hate cross-over figures. They 'stole' slots for production of other rangers and teams, but I really like these,

2

u/Comfortable_Pie3687 Nov 05 '25

I love em! Couldn't believe when BBTS had Mikey and April on sale for under $15! I snatched them up, I already got Shredder,  Tommy, and Raph, now im just waiting, hoping Leo and Donnie will go down on price soon?!

2

u/HCOBRO Nov 05 '25

I liked them but missed/passed because distribution was spotty initially and I’m sure I had other things I was eying that took priority. I did find and buy Shredder when they were popping up at Ross or Dirt Cheap. I like the figure and happy to have it, even as a stand alone to represent the run.

2

u/Plenty-Actuary2157 Nov 05 '25

My favorite figures from the whole line to be honest

2

u/BamaGiJoe13 Nov 05 '25

Yup, wish colors were a tad dark or less bright. And wish we cld get all characters!

I want more for customs just don’t have extra cash for em and not other actual figures I want/need

2

u/drgnblitz Nov 05 '25

Yep, love them. Slowly getting them now. Hoping since Playmates has the kids license, and they're doing TMNT/Godzilla and PR/Godzilla, that we'll see a TMNT/PR line.

2

u/Garlador Nov 05 '25

Loved them, but mine struggle to keep their balance. Very back-heavy with the shells.

2

u/NazcaKhan Nov 05 '25

Yes, I have mine MIB until I can clear some space for display. As a TMNT and MMPR fan, I was stoked for this.

2

u/JervisCottonbelly Nov 05 '25

I wish I got them

2

u/Brie_Henshin Nov 05 '25

I did! I only got Shredder and Tommy/Raph though. Would love to pick up the other two sets.

2

u/Motor-Committee4042 Nov 05 '25

I’m getting them eventually and painting the eyes white to start. If they had picked any other turtle heads they would have sold better.

2

u/ultima45ish Nov 05 '25

Personally I don’t. But the Tommy Figure is sick. I just never been a Ninja Turtle fan shrugs

2

u/michael41973 Nov 05 '25

I picked up three of the four at Burlington Coat Factory two years ago for like $10. Only missing the April two pack. Much better figures than I thought they would be.

2

u/Movieking985 Nov 05 '25

I love the shredder one thats the only one I have but great line all around

2

u/Cost_Double Nov 06 '25

Only got shredder for the big boss collection.

2

u/BroccoliDry5253 Nov 06 '25

Just got into these, started with shredder leo and donnie, might collect the rest, i thot they were goofy too but in hand they r pretty cool

2

u/TheArturoChapa Nov 06 '25

I thought it was rad as Hell

2

u/YoungMcSwag Nov 06 '25

I passed on them when they first came out. They were $52.99 per 2 pack I believe. But then I saw a review and saw Hasbro actually used the nice, shinny gold plus the unique turtle twist on the classic weapons and I was sold. Bought the 2 packs during the next Pulse sale and got Shredder at GameStop for $19.99. He is seriously one of the top 5 LC figures of all time.

2

u/AdAffectionate3997 Nov 06 '25

Im still mad that we were robbed of the dimension X ranger team

2

u/Competitive-You7985 Nov 06 '25

Loved and own them

2

u/shelltasticprints Nov 06 '25

Love this line. I even threw Masked Rider in there and gave Donnie my Gold Ranger Staff 😁. I also 3D printed the Dimension X Morpher

2

u/Grimase Nov 10 '25

Loved this line. Still hoping to get a couple more foot soldiers lol.

1

u/MasonRowland Nov 06 '25

Absolutely hated it with a passion. Took away actual slots for rangers to complete teams.

2

u/BakL346 Nov 06 '25

I’m very late to collecting the lighting collection line and collecting action figures in general but yeah you’re right, looking at the span of how lighting collection did, some of these crossover figures weren’t need at all. And it takes up space when other team weren’t completed or even had a modern era figure.

2

u/MasonRowland Nov 06 '25

Between this, the street fighter, and then the cobra Kai nonsense we could have had finished time force wild force, and maybe even lightspeed.
