Review: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers/Power Rangers Zeo - Hasbro Lightning Collection Armored Red Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger Jason 2-Pack (San Diego Comic Con Exclusive)

Okay, so I didn't go to San Diego Comic Con so how did I get this set? Did I pay outrageous prices online for this? I almost did! And I thought that $110 for this set is fair since the set itself is $49.99 and that doesn't take into account travel, hotel, and the ticket for the event so suddenly anything over the original price isn't so outrageous. Thankfully I didn't have to do that, I did however, pay the Hasbro Pulse Premium Membership for about $50-$60 to buy this but I didn't just get this set, otherwise it would have been fine just getting this through eBay. I also got the Marvel Legends 80th Anniversary Vintage Series Hulk, the Collector and Grandmaster 2-pack, the Luke Skywalker 3-pack, and the Sith Trooper, so I got a pretty good deal honestly. I did miss the Boba Fett because... I forgot honestly and I think I'll be okay without it since I care about accurate live action appearances anyway, but it will haunt my completionist side forever... I might get it in the future but not anytime soon. Anyway, I got standard shipping and it came within a couple days after I purchased it. I know a lot of people were upset that this set sold out as quickly as it did but it's to be expected, I consider myself lucky that I did get this since it sold out within minutes!

Review: Power Rangers Zeo - Bandai of America Legacy Collection Gold Ranger

Even though Jason left the team in season 2 of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers he came back for Power Rangers Zeo as the Gold Ranger. In Choriki Sentai Ohranger, Kingranger was a kid and the symbol on his face is the kanji for king (王) which they use to represent the number 6. Ever since the Green Ranger or Dragonranger the design for the 6th ranger has been pretty standard. It's a different color with little to no aesthetic changes. Dragonranger was just a green version of the Zyuranger suit with a helmet that resembled Tyrannoranger's and additional armor. Kibaranger was a white version of the Dairanger suit with a chest piece and no gold trim that went down the center of the chest. Kakuranger had no official 6th ranger but they had Ninjaman or Ninjor which counted as extra hero. This version of the Ranger in the Legacy Collection line had a lot of controversy due to the way the prototype was painted, but we'll get to that later.

Review: Power Rangers Zeo - Bandai of America Legacy Collection Build-a-Megazord Zeo Megazord // Zeo Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Pink Rangers

After Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger's three seasons and a mini season called Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers, Saban decided to try replacing all of the zords, villains, and suits for the first time. It does continue the story from the past three seasons and keeps the main cast but with upgraded powers. Power Rangers Zeo was a successful season, based on Choriki Sentai Ohranger, Super Sentai's seventeenth season. As you can see there is no black ranger, I honestly don't remember the explanation that they gave for that but I do remember a lot of it especially the villains. A lot of my memories of Power Rangers Zeo come from Jetix's Power Rangers Generations where they would show episodes from different seasons of Power Rangers. Zeo Ranger 5 (Red), Zeo Ranger 4 (Green) and Zeo Ranger 3 (Blue) had been released as part of the 5th Wave of Legacy Collection figures by Bandai of America. It was one of the first few waves that I had bought in store. I remember I got 4 figures when I checked my local Wal-Mart, the one I had been going to since I was a wee lad and spent $80 that night which I wasn't proud of but now it's not the worst thing in the world. The girls were harder to find since they were some of the last few figures to be released, I had pre-ordered them on GameStop.com back in February of 2018 and didn't get them until August I think, I found them in store first and forgot to cancel my pre-order so now I have two of each.
