I'm thinking they started having so many teams up that someone had to take a pause and they chose Timeforce and Lost Galaxy. Now with MMPR,Zeo, and Space done. With others like SPD a ranger away from completing. They are probably going to go heavy into TF/WF.
The fact the box art isn't accurate is a big problem when you can't see the figure inside. There'd be no way to know that the figure is actually accurate despite the box being inaccurate. It could cause a lot of people to walk who haven't seen the figure online before hand.
It feels like there are two different teams working on these Lightning Collection figures. There's the team that makes the nice sculpts, adds all kinds of accessories, makes sure the details are accurate to the show, and includes the required articulation. Then there's the Hasbro focused team that just wants to produce phoned in products, don't care about QC, and will use as little paint as possible. This figure is a prime example of those standards. A great idea with all kinds of bells and whistles, but the bad QC on the joints and sloppy paint is unacceptable for the rising prices. The Lightning Collection line is so close to being great--damn close--but it's held back by Hasbro's boneheaded decisions. I feel bad for the people who actually want to work on these figures. There are some incredible figures to be sure (White Ranger Tommy, Lord Zedd, Magna Defender, Phantom Ranger, etc), but there is so much mediocrity, as well. I don't like saying that because I want to love this line, but Hasbro does the bare minimum on several occasions. It's a shame.
Hasbro QC problems is like that friend that always lets you down but you keep them around because they have a car. I would prefer TF Red rereleased an every other TF ranger released with the Vector Cycle. Some of these teams may be better served being Vehicle + Figure releases. My TF Blue's visor paint app is slanted. Or the white paint app is slanted. I may be able to redo that one and not curse. Going Left/Right just aint working for the helmets. They need to do front/back. The windshield is annoying. A little more tolerance and it could slot in snuggly. Oh no, the bike is not designed well for that body to mount it. It's seat is too big. The handlebars too big with the hands not designed to grip well.........anything. There is a reason we have thumbs. I think I get why they went with him first. If you are doing vehicles, it fits his character and then you can do the more popular ones. The body isn't the problem, it's Hasbro doesn't do enough passes of bring colors like white. Now given the artwork. Given how TF Red heavy it is, may mean a rerelease is on the horizon.
It looks like the bike is in a larger scale than the figure. The handles alone are almost twice the size of the hand. They should only be a little bit bigger than the hands. (See any motorcycle for example. The bike also seems too wide. I agree with your statement about it being a display piece. It looks good on its own, but looks off with the figure. I'll still get it though.
The weapons even after applying heat are permanently slightly warped. Ive seen folks finding for $15 at Target. My figure also has the helmet QC issues.
Honestly all the QC/QA stuff reads to me like the factory workers don't give a shit which probably means they're being exploited unfortunately. That's all speculation, but we are dealing with the global network of capital, so I doubt it's far off
Oh man these blind boxes really are taking the biscuit. So many things are wrong and then they can't even get the right accessories. So is that 3/3 of the new releases for you?? I remember when I got my Luna I was so happy it was the right one with the right paint apps but really it shouldn't be like that!! I felt like I was buying a blind boz and hoping for the rare variant. It's a disgrace really.
the slimmer body design is because the fig is suppose to sit on the bike. Same as the Omega ranger. SLim body type. I hope this is not the case with the silver ranger with bike.
I’m hoping we get a proper Gluto ,as well as the other main villains but I’d love a Nidra and frax, also a 2 pack of Alex in time force red with ransik
i was watching Roku: Pluto TV this morning, they had Carranger on the Tokusatsu Shout channel, and i have NEVER EVER seen this episode: the red ranger revealed himself to a girl betrothed to the evil guy, and she loved the Red Racer, but doesn't like the "monkey face" human that is his secret identity...anyways, the thing that made me bust a gut laughing is that they had a CAT-CAR that turned into a CAT-HEAD Robot to fight the baddie...it was hilarious and now i want that cat-robot/car because it is too funny. Have you seen this episode? Do you know if that cat robot/car exists in Japan or know his name so i can look it up?
People dont like Lucas? what? one of my favs. I really hate locking characters behind some stupid vehicle, I want all my figures displayed together as a team with the same boxes, this is just a mess and all over the place. Also fk Hasbro cause I knew that was going to be an issue with this plastic free packaging, you cant see what youre getting, they put all the accessories in 1 bag to scratch up the paint on the figure, figure arrives broken as seen in the end of the video.
100% agreed. I wouldn't mind it so much if every member of the team came with their vehicle but it's completely pointless just having one or two characters with their vehicle. For example, TJ coming with the astro glider while no one else does (besides Zhane, who has the glider in a completely different configuration wtf) In general, there's a severe lack of cohesion amongst teams in this line when it comes to accessories and paint details and it's been a problem since basically the beginning. Very frustrating.
Man, Poor Lucas Doesn't get a lick of respect even when he's the center of attention Guess that's what happens when you surgically remove the main throughline of his character arc from the Sentai When you remove TimeBlue's terminal illness he doesn't end up with a lot to actually DO
I want a all villain release with all the Dino charge villains I want the most keeper I know he’s not a but I’ll make an exception a poisandra because the original was ok but I want a better one and a doomwing and zenowing 2 pack
I didn't buy him, but I may have to go back and get him since it may be a long time to complete Time Force. Right now I have 12 member Complete MMPR, complete Zeo, complete In Space sans Silver, but I have him ordered, and hopefully soon complete Dino Thunder, and SPD. Not a lot of other Teams I want after that. Lost Galaxy, Time Force, RPM.
😕 I'm not a big fan of Lucas, so this might be a pass for me. Eric and Jen are the two Time Force Rangers that I really want to collect, so I hope that they're released soon. 🙏
the vector cycle is neat but the figure should have been the green ranger, leave blue to be in a 2 pack with nadaria, the uniforce cycle has 2 wheels one small wheel in the back and one huge one in the front. The Uniforce Cycle to me is the better bike, still waiting on Jen/ time force pink to get her well deserved figure
when is quantum ranger coming out?Eric Myers is my fav ranger....even over the late great JDF as eric southworth is half asian, so he's the first asian red plus I love he is an antihero
I hope that if I get the figure it will be maybe be better. Also, if you want to get better at posing action figures, maybe you can watch a TH-cam video on how to pose them. I don’t think it would hurt to try.
I’m not 100% certain but I think you have an error with your shin/calve pieces. I believe yours came swapped. So you have the left on right and vice versa. Hasbro is just the best eh?
@@TokuTopics I think the pieces are just turned around. Rotating them and then rotating the feet should fix the boots. I've watched other reviews and their figure's calves are like yours, so it looks like this figure has an error where the upper boots are turned around.
Yes the guns are on the bikes. Each bike has their own blasters. They were just less in your face on the life size bikes in the show. Everyone else has a more laser gun type of weapon. As for reuse. Doesn't look it. The design is from the show. The barrel portion is just a ring of tubes. Easy to model from scratch. They lack the negative space of the Gi Joe Cycle as well. So it's a different model/mold.
Probably not and I think we’ve accepted that mostly but always a possibility. Nothing is set in stone and I don’t think it’s as likely as Kirameiger or Zyuohger but I can easily see Hasbro going for Donbrothers for the megazords. If they’re not up for the CGI black and pink rangers then 100% original ground fights like Cosmic Fury, but the ranger suit designs are also important to the mecha so a solution could be to make live action suits of Inu and Kiji based on the ones from the G-Rosso and other stage shows. Whether the legendary ranger stuff would be kept is anyones guess. It’s mostly the 2010s stuff that gets used in the Avatar Changes and Power Rangers has only done half of those seasons so far - ToQger and Lupinranger VS Patranger show up prominently in a lot of the early avatar changes alongside Ryusoulger (Dino Fury) and Zyuoh Eagle is another favourite of DonMomotaro to use. It’s like Zenkaiger, would you then be forced to adapt all of those seasons first? Kyuranger got very little usage by both of those teams so that wouldn’t be a problem, just film original stuff with the new Cosmic Fury suits as Avatar Changes instead. The carryover and sequel elements from Zenkaiger such as Zenkaiser Black would mean that Zenkaiger might have to be adapted first. If so then don’t expect DonBrothers as PR anytime soon or ever.
Time Force is a really popular season.
It is surprising that Hasbro isn't releasing more figures from that season.
I'm thinking they started having so many teams up that someone had to take a pause and they chose Timeforce and Lost Galaxy.
Now with MMPR,Zeo, and Space done. With others like SPD a ranger away from completing. They are probably going to go heavy into TF/WF.
Hoping we get a proper Gluto since his only toy release was a miniature figure
Agreed. Wild that we haven't at least seen Eric or Jen since they're fairly popular rangers from this season
I don’t care at all about Power Rangers, but I’m probably going to pick this up because Ayase is my favorite character in Timeranger
Sweet
Speaking of Trip I'm curious if he'll come with Circuit.
I imagine he will, if not Timbree3D makes a great 3D printed circuit ,it comes unpainted but still a great way to get circuit

Very frustrated that my favorite season has some of the worst QC issues overall.

The paint apps on that helmet is the reason I only buy Hasbro figures on Sale. Never worth retail
Lucas was the Stars ream of the Power Rangers.
Very confident that Hasbro will make a Turbo Cart. I’m guessing Turbo green.
The dome secures better than the helmet on the dino thunder megazord.
It looks like the bike is in a larger scale than the figure. The handles alone are almost twice the size of the hand. They should only be a little bit bigger than the hands. (See any motorcycle for example. The bike also seems too wide.

What’s up with the Time Force rangers getting the slim rarely used body sculpt?
Honestly all the QC/QA stuff reads to me like the factory workers don't give a shit which probably means they're being exploited unfortunately. That's all speculation, but we are dealing with the global network of capital, so I doubt it's far off
Mine just came in today. It’s amazing and almost flawless.
i loved this series, but not sure i want to re-buy all the toys i had again in this new scale. Thanks for the review.
I know trip is gonna be next for time force. He might be just as bad as Lucas If not WORSE. But at the end of the day. Gotta complete the team
Oh man these blind boxes really are taking the biscuit.
So many things are wrong and then they can't even get the right accessories.
So is that 3/3 of the new releases for you??

I felt sorry for Lucas he got a lot of attention didn't give the other rangers a chance.
6:49 “which uh…”😂😂😂
the slimmer body design is because the fig is suppose to sit on the bike. Same as the Omega ranger. SLim body type. I hope this is not the case with the silver ranger with bike.
With the errors on the box could it be possible they almost changed it to Red with Cycle before they decided on it being Blue.
I’m hoping we get a proper Gluto ,as well as the other main villains but I’d love a Nidra and frax, also a 2 pack of Alex in time force red with ransik

Yup that's why I've slowed way down with collecting this line. I hate figures being locked between 2-packs and vehicles.

Time force is my favourite power rangers I love wes and Lucas but I want trip no never mind I need trip

All time force ranger will get that bike or it just for blue time force ranger only?

They did Lucas figure wrong
his body looks too skinny...he was the buffest of the team.
the vector cycle is neat but the figure should have been the green ranger, leave blue to be in a 2 pack with nadaria, the uniforce cycle has 2 wheels one small wheel in the back and one huge one in the front. The Uniforce Cycle to me is the better bike, still waiting on Jen/ time force pink to get her well deserved figure
Hoping TF Pink is in a two pack with Ransik, if not him then an improved version of TF Red (Alex)
@KyydWykkyd I hope she is not since most 2 packs cost about $50-$55, though a ransik and Alex 2 pack does sound neat
Wear tf are the omega rangers and their combinable zords? That's when I'll start buying wear are the helmets for the omega rangers??
when is quantum ranger coming out?Eric Myers is my fav ranger....even over the late great JDF as eric southworth is half asian, so he's the first asian red plus I love he is an antihero
I hope he gets a figure soon
Are the legs really loose feeling?
Very much so
@TokuTopics thank you! I was going to get it but that's all I care about lmao 🤣 I don't want another silver in space nonsense lmao he was too loose !
I hope that if I get the figure it will be maybe be better.
Also, if you want to get better at posing action figures, maybe you can watch a TH-cam video on how to pose them. I don’t think it would hurt to try.

all charles camara
Damn the bike turned out great but the figure is kind of crappy.
This was a very “odd” review to say the least.
What's up with the shoulders they look weird 🤔
The torso is way too skinny
The guns are a reuse from the G.I. Classified RAM Cycle and no, they were not on the bikes in show.
Yes the guns are on the bikes. Each bike has their own blasters. They were just less in your face on the life size bikes in the show. Everyone else has a more laser gun type of weapon.

Will there be a don brothers adaptation one day
Unfortunately NO
Very unlikely but you never know!
