Review: Power Rangers Beast Morphers - Hasbro Lightning Collection Beast Morphers Red Ranger

Power Rangers Beast Morphers is the most recent Power Rangers season showing as of now, it's also produced by Hasbro and Saban, I think. Anyway, haven't watched it and I plan to... at some point. I did watch Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters back when it came out and finished. Personally, I loved it, I loved the aesthetic and tone of the season. It was interesting and the leather suits were cool. I was surprised when they announced that they would bring Go-Busters to the U.S... a season that was almost half-a-decade old when that was announced. Still, it was nice to see them and hopefully they'd fit in with the scale of the rest of the rangers... but that wasn't the case since Bandai wasn't in charge of making Power Rangers anymore, man, what a year! Still, I'm surprised it took Hasbro until wave 2 to make a figure of the current season for their collector oriented Lightning Collection line. Let's get to it.

Review: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - (First Edition) Black Series (90) Supreme Leader Kylo Ren

 Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has been out for about a week and I want to go see it again. Seriously, I really loved the film and my Shifu, who loves Star Wars and wasn't the biggest fan of The Force Awakens or The Last Jedi, loved it! There's so much to it and not having a lot of history with the franchise, especially since I only just go really into it over this past year, helped. I like the character of Kylo Ren, he's interesting and I think the way some of the internet sees him is pretty funny. Let's get to it.

Review: Power Rangers Lost Galaxy - Hasbro Lightning Collection Lost Galaxy Magna Defender

This is the coolest of the second wave in the line, seriously, just look at it. Despite not watching Power Rangers Lost Galaxy to completion, I did watch a bit of it so I'm familiar with the character. I loved the costume although I did think the horns on the helmet were a bit silly. I do like his armor, he looks like a knight, which is appropriate since his character in Seijuu Sentai Gingaman was called Kuro Kishi (黒騎士), which is Japanese for "Black Knight". It's quite impressive that he made it to the line to begin with, especially for a character like this to be introduced so early in the line's lifetime. He has one of the more intricate, if not the most intricate, suits in the series. He was the first figure I found along with the Beast Morphers Gold Ranger at Walgreens.

Review: Power Rangers In Space/Lost Galaxy - Hasbro Lightning Collection Lost Galaxy Red Ranger // In Space Psycho Red Ranger

I had pre-ordered this set at HasbroPulse and it arrived fairly quickly and maybe earlier than the initial release date. It was $39.99 and I believe it's the same everywhere else. I love this set and it was nice to see these two figures. Although I was initially confused as to why they packed these two from different seasons together but a little research showed that they did in fact fight against each other in an episode where they team up with the Space Rangers. I don't really remember that episode but I do remember watching Power Rangers Lost Galaxy when I was a kid. Lost Galaxy was based off of Seijuu Sentai Gingaman which I haven't watched yet but I'll get to it... at some point.

Review: Power Rangers In Space - GameStop Exclusive Psycho Blue Ranger Hasbro Lightning Collection

This was another figure that I got from the U.K., the other one was the Dragon Shield Black Ranger from a couple months ago. They were a part of the same order but I'm just really bad about getting to these on time. So here we are, months later after all the hype on this figure is over and I feel extra bad since this figure is everywhere and will probably be on clearance in a couple months along with most of the line which is pretty sad. Unfortunately Power Rangers, and to a lesser extent Super Sentai and most Tokusatsu properties aren't popular anymore or at the moment. I wish they were but that isn't the case. As for the character, I do remember watching Power Rangers In Space, I don't know if it was a rerun or if it was a part of Jetix's Power Rangers Generations series that they had. I remember seeing the Psycho Rangers and thinking that they looked so cool! They had pretty awesome designs and I didn't realize until recently that they all shared the exact same design, give or take the male and female proportions, but they were nearly identical. Which is kinda weird since even the Sentai suits have small differences in the costumes besides their color. Denji Sentai Megaranger, which is where Power Rangers In Space takes the source footage, is a great example since the basic base suit is the same throughout the Megarangers but with their color. The helmets are nearly identical until you look at the edges or their visors which is used to distinguish them. Not for these guys and we'll talk more about that on Wednesday!

Review: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - (First Edition) Black Series (91) Rey & D-O

 On Triple Force Friday I went out to get some new Star Wars figures, my goal was to get all of the 6th Edition figures... I failed, but I did get most of them. On that day I got Kylo Ren (90), Sith Trooper (92), Offworld Jawa (96), and First Order Stormtrooper (97). I couldn't find the Mandalorian, and I wasn't interested in the ones from the games so I waited and got those later at Walgreens. I'm still missing the First Edition Mandalorian... I didn't get the regular releases until later, I got the Sith Trooper from Amazon, and I got Kylo Ren during Triple Force Friday as well. I just got this Rey figure today, especially after watching the movie last night (12/19/19). I loved it and I won't give any spoilers yet, I'll wait a couple days before doing that. I was satisfied, as someone who only watched the sequel trilogy I thought it was a fitting end. I was familiar with the original trilogy and I watched Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) so I understood a lot of what was going on. Let's get to the review.

Review: Avengers: Endgame - Marvel Legends Build-a-Figure Endgame Thor

Finally we get to the man himself, Thor! Son of Odin! Again, burned out, super busy, especially around this time of year and I wanted to take a couple pictures before posting this one. I like the direction they went with for Thor, I wasn't expecting it and honestly, I was surprised. I thought it was a little much at the beginning and little by little he was becoming himself again. As for this figure... eh, I would have preferred his armored form more than this one but we have it and I'll appreciate it but I can't wait until they release the armored form. Anyway, let's get to it.

Review: Avengers: Endgame (2019) - Marvel Legends Iron Man Mark LXXXV (85) (Endgame Thor Wave)

 Now time to go back to reviews! Sorry it's been busy busy and burned out I have been. Here's the Mark 85 Iron Man from the third Endgame wave for the Marvel Legend figures this year. I had been waiting for this one for a while and there are things I like about it and things I think could have been done a lot better. It's December and we're getting closer and closer to the end of the year, Endgame has been in and out of theaters, in DVD, on digital, and on Disney + for a while at this point so I'm pretty sure most people watching this have already watched Endgame. Let's get to the review!
