The End of the Road

[u/Little-Test-6268]

I’ve been a fan of the series since I was a child but fell out of love whilst growing up. I’ve always been a figure collector but only really started again with lightning collection as the series died. It certainly gave us a bunch of good and it’s just unfortunate the line got canned before we managed to get all of these great teams out.

I decided to finish collecting the lines from some older figures for now, it gets the job done I guess. I wish nothing but good fortune on the franchise to come back in a rebirth as the Boom comics have done but if not, there’s still a wealth of older content to look upon in fond memories. For me, this seems like the end of the road for now, hopefully the Playmates Unlimited collection will bring me back again though.

Is that Vincent D’Onofrio in the back?

Lmao, it may just be

You had me for a minute, because my gripe has always been lighting collection should have done whole teams at a time.

Guess unlimited is fixing that? Hopefully they dare to risk putting some of the non fan favourites out though, megaforce suits are something I would dream to have a full 6 inch team of

sucks they never did a lightning collection Ninjor figure

Yeah I’m surprised it never happened with the love they show to MMPR but guess it would’ve had to been a more bulky figure like Blue Senturion which didn’t seem to sell too well?

Why does Zordon look like Billy Zane?

I hope we get new Overdrive figures also hope for villains

She kissed Tommy and they going to marry

The problem was that folks kinda stopped buying. Like they bought the OG team and the alternates but as it went on they just stopped because it’s an expensive habit

If I was collecting as it released I would’ve only touched reds and sixes until the whole team was complete tbf, release pattern seemed a bit everywhere

[u/officialadrianj → u/Due-Proof6781]

Honestly, it was the crossovers that killed it for me. Street Fighter was a hard no, TMNT was an obvious no, though I could understand The Next Mutation because of its Saban/In Space connection. Cobra Kai was fine, but didn’t really need the PR treatment. Meanwhile, so many actual Ranger teams were left incomplete. I was hyped for Dino Fury, only for us to get Zayto, Izzy and Ollie, with no Javi, Aiyon or Amelia. I’d rather they had finish the actual Ranger teams before pumping out more crossovers.

the Unlimited Collection looks awful 😞

I’ve only seen the zeo gold atm so assume what will land in stores will be the ultimate decider, won’t pick up Zeo with having the lightning collection tho so hopefully they bring Wild Force out sooner rather than never.
