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: Power Rangers in Space - Bandai of America Legacy Collection Psycho Red, Black, and Blue Rangers

One thing I wish Legacy Collection had more of would be villains, yes the Green Ranger was a villain for a little bit in the show but that doesn't really count. The closest we got to it were the Psycho Rangers. That was something I remember from the show, I remember really liking their faces, very alien looking, there was also the Silver Psycho Ranger which was created for Power Rangers In Space. In Denji Sentai Megaranger they were Jaden Sentai Nejiranger or "Evil Electricity Squadron Nejiranger" which explains why they have an "N" on their belts. Unfortunately we didn't get Psycho Pink and Yellow but we got Psycho Silver and Green which were exclusives. It should be easy to customize Pink and Yellow but more on that later.
