I disagree because the design and engineering of the Indy line are nice. They are guilty of using old molds for newer figures though. Especially on the new GOTG figures.
@@rakimanzo02 glad to hear those are nice. Sometimes they'll nail it the first time, but at a certain point I'm tired of buying spiderman and wolverine over and over again from them lol
Oh, that's most certainly the case. Do you think the King in Black Venom having inaccurate toes was a mistake. Nope. That was definitely on purpose so they can make another Venom to sell on the Movie Venom buck. Same goes for these Rangers, unfortunately.
@RJCXD They definitely do it. I guarantee you they're gonna re release all the spider man with added toe articulation next year 🤣 because its easy money
Happy they are fixing the odd A stance of the arms so the arms are more flush to the body although I'm not buying renewals unless I'm already buying a lot on f action figures in one go, it's on sale for like £8 clearance and only to get just over the amount for free delivery. Got to draw the line at buying repeats somewhere.
The new civilian head looks great, but the butterfly joints look cleaner on the older figure. I will get the remastered one since the old one is very expensive on the secondary market, but I honestly would be happy with either version.
Awesome stuff. The QC and joint tolerances seem better here than they did for some of their recent figures. Definitely better than Time Force Blue! I hope they redo White Ranger Tommy with this body. It's already one of the best Lightning Collection figures, but it was also one of their first. I'd say it could use an update with more accessories. Same goes for Lord Drakkon and of course the original Green Ranger.
Great review Amazing. Definitely need to grab blue as I missed out on him on the regular release. Would you happen to be able to make a video of you adding more range with your dremel for the head?
It looks like we should hold on on buying the first releases of any if not most figures nowadays since they will always release a remastered/reissued/whatever versions, e.g., Hasbro, bandai, Super 7....
Great review man. You posed the hell out of that figure at the end too. I'm not so great at posing them myself so it's really helpful for getting new ideas to see that stuff. Got blue and yellow last week and have a pre-order for the other three. Hasbro needs to drop some more info on the black ranger though because I need my full set!
Love it. I have pretty much skipped out on Power Ranger figures...until this remastered version showed up. I have been largely a GIJOE Classified collector. Back in the day when Mighty Morphin' released on TV, I had a HUUUuuuuuge crush on Amy Jo Johnson, but I was also a martial artist and that combination had me hooked. I followed it all the way up to the movie release. Fast forward to Hasbro announcing the pre-orders for Pink, Green and Red remastered. I decided to get the Pink Ranger and the Green. Then I noticed Hasbro's clever trick of putting the Green Ranger's gold armor on the Red Ranger. So if you want a complete Green Ranger...you have to get Red. So...I got Red. I was going to stop there. Then they announced the Black Ranger...and he just looked too bad ass to pass up. So I got him. I then realized I should get the other two. Thankfully, I found both the Blue and Yellow. Obviously I will be getting them first. So thank you for reviewing this one and comparing it to the old one so I don't suffer FOMO. :)
I'm mixed. This really does feel like a "budget" import for all the accessories. The body redo isn't a jump like a normal SHF rider to SS. I appreciate the Remaster for people that didn't get in on the range from wave 1, but we've started to get to where improvements are very incremental and minor and not a total blow out like Marvel Legends did in the period from like 2014-2017, the overall value proposition isn't there. If I already had Billy, I probably wouldn't be picking this up.
A lot of the male rangers with the pinless bodies, like Dino Charge Blue, have had really loose drop-down hips for some reason, and I was wondering if that was going to be the case for this one as well. You said they weren’t as loose on yours which is nice to hear. I hope that can be the case with more of them in the future. Also, you said you would show the thing you would use to tighten your figures joints, but I don’t think we saw that. Not complaining, just saying. Great review as always.
I love the power rangers but I wish saban and Hasbro would release the vr troopers and big bad beetle Borg's in the lightning collection style that would be bad ass I hope to come across a remastered trini she's the only one I need to complete my team and she don't need to match the original as I could never get a hold of the original kim so I subbed her out for the comic version from gamestop still looks good though
1:46 Bro, they look *Basically the same* aside from a little black paint on the belt, that isn't that visible on the actual suits. To the casual viewer, it just looks like you bought the same figure twice.... but more expensive this time 😄
New one has better quality more articulation and accessories (And is cheaper then the other one considering the other one is going for bout 100+ dollars earlier*
Love how you always give shine to smaller brands in big company reviews.
the old Billy head sculpt feels like a perf pre-blue Beast. these videos are great, truly the best poser out there.
I feel like hasbro purposefully doesn't make it perfect the first time just so they can make money on the redo

I felt that when I got my first lightning collection
I hope we get remasters for MM Red, Pink, Black and Green

I've been waiting for a review of this guy. Not even into Power Rangers, but I"m awfully tempted by the Remastered ones. Thanks, D!
I was in the same boat. I held out...until I saw the remastered versions and now I am diving head first...
Got my first Lightning Collection figure a few days ago. Mastodon Ranger… man these are pretty nice figures.
Wow I didn't realise how much of an improvement this was over the original... Almost saved some money there
Love the new body type. Hopefully the remake red so he can have that updated helmet
Morphing hands make no sense. They are already in the suit. They morphed when they were in civilian clothes.
Great review Amazing. Definitely need to grab blue as I missed out on him on the regular release. Would you happen to be able to make a video of you adding more range with your dremel for the head?

Get the super7 Goldar. You will not regret it once you have him in hand.
Remastered and still no black at the bottom of the boots lol

Is it even a real d amazing video without a siren in the background? Jk jk love your reviewers and the photos. Still the best in the game
Hope you feel better soon D. :)

But its close.
Hasbro needs to update almost all the collections. I just want accurate and updated white dino thunder.
Looks pretty cool! I never did get to buying the original billy so looking forward to this newer one

Can you make a video showing a before and after of the head mod you are doing for these figures and talk about what you did more?
I’m excited for the remastered green and white. Hopefully Hasbro accounts for the demand. What do you think?
Oh crap is this shipping already?? I didn't get a notice from Hasbro Pulse yet.
I didn’t even get a chance to buy this and when I wanted to it’s out of stock on the GameStop website
In what consists your Snake Eyes kitbash?
I know these will be more expensive but i dont care. With the new sculpts and pinless im instantly grabbing just hope Tommy comes out soon.
I'd be surprised if Hasbro did a Power Rangers REMASTERED figure of Drakkon.
Can you put civilian head on remaster figure ? I'm wondering because the remaster red won't have Jason head. Thx in advance
Belt seprate or fixed in place?
Ah sweet. Just got my one of these this morning. The head swap was stiff as hell so won’t be doing that again. Got weapons to boil straight now
If they would've just included a civilian figure with it, people wouldn't swap the heads much and have the breakage problems.
Are the legs loose feeling ? 🤔
How did you make that snake eyes
I just want to know what the next helmet is going to be lol
Thanks for the review.
I love the power rangers but I wish saban and Hasbro would release the vr troopers and big bad beetle Borg's in the lightning collection style that would be bad ass I hope to come across a remastered trini she's the only one I need to complete my team and she don't need to match the original as I could never get a hold of the original kim so I subbed her out for the comic version from gamestop still looks good though
Does anyone find that the previous version had better butterfly joints?? Or is it just mine?
Can you justify these remastered figures if you already have the original LC figures?
Appreciate the review!
What’s key key solution
Thanks D
Can I come over and we can play with your toys? I’ll bring my power rangers too 😂😊
ugh, i see stuff like this and Im just like why didnt they do it like this in the first place?
They’re like $50 bucks now. Still would rather have shf
MORPHING
👍

The helmet is now accurate also
why does hasbro fuck these figures up i got mine today looks like i can't bend his knees really bad work from hasbro
It's 2023 figures should look and be better than this. Hasbro can take it to the next level but they don't give a fuck.
Still look like overweight Americans in sentai suits
Yeah, but the Figuarts ones look anorexic, so at least these are cheaper.
Where do you get those set pieces????????
