25:18 still would prefer they *_ALSO_* include unhelmeted heads for the street fighter figures. It was one of the charms that nearly all of the lightning collection figures have, and not including the human (or dog or turtle) head sculpts for characters seems lacking.
My Top 5(ish) of 2022 are: 5. Street Fighter Collab - Just really great designs 4. Wild Force Lunar Wolf - I was lucky to get a correct figure from the start and I love it 3. Beast Morphers/Dino Thunder Yellow - Finally finishing the core 3 2. MMPR Red Swap - Amazing figure with a great helmet 1. MMPR Black/Ninja Black - A great year for Adam figures
I would love to see a Power Rangers and Super Sentai collaboration. It would be a perfect way to introduce new fans to Super Sentai. And I hope that A) The Alien Rangers make the 2023 best figure list, and B) That Kendrix or Maya include Leo's Transdagger with their accessories.
Some of my favorite Lightning figures released this year are the Astronema and Ecliptor two pack, Snizzard, Finster, the Turtles two packs, Damon, Kira, Shelby, Merrick (correct version) and the Ninjetti figures.
I'm now dialing back on this line. I've completed MMPR and Zeo. I got some cool 6th ranger figures from different seasons. Owning Zedd, Goldar, and Finster was good. I wanted to collect Time Force since it was my favorite season but the figures were not worth it. I was hoping to complete Dino Thunder just because, but it's been hard to find blue and yellow here. Ninja Storm would've been interesting, especially Green Ranger but it depends on how good they look. Other than that, I'm not looking forward to it anymore unless there are really really good ones out there.
Ninja rangers def are a highlight for me this last year. I adore the Dino thunder and beast morphers yellow releases and the mettallic rangers are stunning. The monsters are going strong and I’m super happy with my zap dragonzord.
6:44 correction, the male yellow has in fact a new sculpt, if you compare it with the original yellow ranger is a tiny bit larger in some areas and sharper in the teeth, so it's more like the helmet is tiny but they did change it
The junk with time force blue is making me never want to buy any more time force figures unless they do the full team as a set + quantum or that with quantum as a separate release. Also they once again didn't include the V blaster with a time force ranger. It's so maddening who they pick and choose to give all the accessories they should have and who gets only the blaster form of their sidearm(looking at dino thunder yellow).
I'm honestly still surprised that a Pitrid made it in before Wild Force Yellow or Time Force Pink, two of the most popular female rangers from the end of the Saban Era
The Ninja Rangers made both of my lists for best and worst figures of 2022. I've been lucky that there hasn't been any problems or issues with the joints, but I have had problems with paint defects and have gone through a few figures until I finally got some that looked good.
Hey Toku Topics What do you suppose the lost galaxy and light speed rescue seasons would be like if they swapped powers, suits, weapons, gear, and zords? Would they be better or worse?
Not sure if this is a controversial take, but but Hasbro nails the army builders and considering the Putties, Z-Putties, Tengas, Cogs and now Putrids, I always look forward to the next one because they always (for some reason) turn out to be great.
It think the ones they've done so far give them leeway with the Paint App QC. As long as the face is fine, it doesn't matter if a pattern is just a little bit off. If anything variation actually adds value.
I personally think my Time Force Blue is pretty fine, not the best but not the worst in my collection. Although, the head swap is a nightmare. The neck peg is so small, I’m worried it’ll break.
I recommend getting some 80-weight Shock-Oil, dabbing a LITTLE bit into the socket & slowly twisting the head up until it pops off. The shock oil will get rid of the tightness in the socket & make it easier to both move the head & swap it. I do this on all my figures to ensure no breakage. Heck, going back to Time Force, I actually have a very good TF Red figure - No looseness to speak of on it.
Hasbro, do you think you could seriously just stop with the pumping out of lightning collection figures, and focus on giving us a six stripe, silver boot, lunar cue holster version of the lunar wolf ranger? How could you mess up on one of my favorite characters from wild force?!
Well, at least you didn’t mess up on the first of my favorite characters from the lightning collection, that being dino charge red. despite the wobbly torso joint overtime.
You know since Hasbro has kinda done a bad job with SPD figures Historically to me the worst team of Lightning Collection. Maybe they re release the core b squad rangers with Vehicles. Red & Green Delta Patrol Cycles, Blue SPD Bike and the ATV of Pink and Yellow
That Zeo Cog release has slowed sales of my 3d printed Tonfas...........worst figure of the year!! No I agree that is great way to correct an error like that. The Cogs(at least in the US) are very easy to troop build at the moment. QC has been this lines enemy from day 1. I just don't understand how Hasbro's design team and factory just fail like they do. Like get someone in the fandom to look at designs for the year. They can get all that corrected. It's like they don't actually prototype but go straight to the factory. Street Fighter really came out of nowhere and they are good too. It always seems like these less unique designs, they just take off on. But "generic" team looks they fumble. What's sad about the Cammy and Ken is they had even more free reign to make them look great. LG - The Quasar Launcher(cough certainly no conflict of interest cough) is alright. As long as it's consistent. Most people I think got LG Red from the two pack. But it is those decisions that really make it seem like the Hasbro team doesn't understand that this is a team. Outside of that yeah it's the least offensive figure of the year. Maybe not my top but it should be up there.
I am not convinced of your reasons for trini red and jason yellow ..mine will not look like a melted face or dirty joints YOU SHOULD KNOW THE CURRENT FIGURES come in pro-environment boxes ..they are "loose"..but if it turned out for me with something strange... the trini... one of her arms ARE UNFINISHED, the elbow seems like are gum, as if the material is not even molded... at first it made me sad... but I don't know, she calls me aencon have a figure like this xd unique xd
why does Josh look so different in his video I don't know maybe it's a new video wow you look so beautiful really it's interesting it looks so I don't know this must be a new Josh or something his videos are pretty good actually man I'll tell you wow I'm still watching the power just lightning caught your videos on lightning storms the greatest show I ever heard in my life
The only real filler was Galaxy Glider Blue and The Kat version if ninjetti pink. Monsters I guess some would consider filler but personally I don't cause there good figures and nice to have. Everything else is something we needed to complete or start a team which is nice. Also the Street Fighter figures are amazing. And more comic stuff like the color swap is always nice.
We need a final Waland art for Dino Thunder black. That figure is going to be the most important figure of 2023.

The TMNT set is absolutely amazing, but the Street Fighter ones fell short. No heads is the dumbest shit ever.

Right. But it's using the Metallic Yellow sculpt, so still a female helmet sculpt for a male body
it's strange how the Lost Galaxy figures, even the retro megazord, all come out fine, i guess there's not too much to mess up
Love the Metallic White, excellent figure. Somehow it appears more accurate than the Wave 1 White.

I have a solution for the loose legs of the Power Swap Yellow (AKA Boi from Zyuranger). Kiki's Joint fixxer.
Great video. Love the detail. Thanks

I love In Space Blue. Didn't buy the Silver Pyscho 2-pack. I bought Andros/Astronema 2-pack.
28:30 😅 Not a great sign when Damon wins best LC figure of the year, on the merit of it being the only *competent* mass retail release
rw:Happy New Year TokuTopics.^_^!
Surprisingly besides the symbol and a mark on the Civilian face and the sabers, my Time Force blue wasn't that bad
I'm happy I never got any of the Ninja Rangers and instead got the TMNT collab at cheaper prices
Great List Man!
I personally think my Time Force Blue is pretty fine, not the best but not the worst in my collection. Although, the head swap is a nightmare. The neck peg is so small, I’m worried it’ll break.
I returned my time force blue. It felt really cheap...
I recommend getting some 80-weight Shock-Oil, dabbing a LITTLE bit into the socket & slowly twisting the head up until it pops off.
The shock oil will get rid of the tightness in the socket & make it easier to both move the head & swap it. I do this on all my figures to ensure no breakage.
Heck, going back to Time Force, I actually have a very good TF Red figure - No looseness to speak of on it.
I think mine is ok as well. Only some minor things that I can get fixed or I can fix myself
Snizzard, my figure of the year. I think he is epic in hand.
Ahhh Hasbro
Handing us a cake and then smacking us with the other
And we keep accepting the cake, cause it's good cake.
I hope my Dino fury green doesn’t have a bent saber like your one did
my Luna Wolf Ranger has the right number of stripes with six exactly. so no need to worry Toku Topics.
OK… I might actually look into buying at least the red rangers for beast Morphers and Dino fury in the lightning collection.
Hasbro, do you think you could seriously just stop with the pumping out of lightning collection figures, and focus on giving us a six stripe, silver boot, lunar cue holster version of the lunar wolf ranger? How could you mess up on one of my favorite characters from wild force?!
Well, at least you didn’t mess up on the first of my favorite characters from the lightning collection, that being dino charge red. despite the wobbly torso joint overtime.
I have seen someone use the helmet from the triple Dino team up pack with MMPR Red so there's a second chance to get the correct helmet for MMPR Red.
The putrid figure doesn't have the right to be as good as it is. Why couldn't they put that amount of effort into something like Time Force blue?
Hey I noticed you have Michelangelo vs Daniel LaRusso 2 pack from tmnt vs cobra Kai in in back
Yep! Got it since both those characters are in Lightning Collection 🤣
Awesome I have the Donatello vs Johnny Lawrence 2 pack
You know since Hasbro has kinda done a bad job with SPD figures Historically to me the worst team of Lightning Collection. Maybe they re release the core b squad rangers with Vehicles. Red & Green Delta Patrol Cycles, Blue SPD Bike and the ATV of Pink and Yellow
I got the blue space and his belt is kind messed up when they painted it his buckle is off to the side
I bought the swap 2 pack to get the red helmet. My box came with 2 yellow helmets. 🤦
Can't you just tell Hasbro. Still sucks thou.
very good point

My time force blue came compete, but felt cheap. this is was only power rangers I wanted that I ended up returning
My favorite ranger lightning collection is dino thunder yellow ranger lightning collection which I don't have, where can I find it?
She's in stock right here! #ad
www.amazon.com/dp/B09MJLH53P/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_undefined?linkCode=ml2&tag=tokutopics08-20
This is why I skipped the ninja ranger figures, and also factoring in me caring more for the Ranger suits themselves.
Amazing!
I wouldn’t mind if Hasbro rereleased MMPR red and MMPR yellow, with the Rocky and Minh head sculpts.
Or maybe we take a break from MMPR ...... yeah I know that won't happen 🥴
very good

So, do you know when that marvel legends Japanese Spider-Man figures coming out?
It's been out for months, I made a review of it.

0:54 Hate to say it, but this has been a *Very Uninspired* year of Lightning Collection releases. Just look at that lineup. 😑😑 All filler, no killer.

Everything else is something we needed to complete or start a team which is nice. Also the Street Fighter figures are amazing. And more comic stuff like the color swap is always nice.
@@jeremymorris345 The color swap figures were crap though. And the mass release figures were so low effort. No winners like the Tenga from last year
