NFT Megazord Controversy

When I saw the upcoming Black and Gold Megazord, I was like I rather have the regular one but I had no idea what NFT meant. NFT stands for Non-fungible token. The Black & Gold Zord Ascension Project Dino Megazord will be an NFT exclusive from Hasbro. The NFT is a placeholder. The controversy is that NFT is a risky business, it wastes raw computing. First of all, fans don't like that it is black and gold, and second that they need a token. The third is that the NFT is controversial in itself. I had no idea what NFT was, apparently, it has hit other franchises but this is the first time it affects Power Rangers. But since it is exclusive and limited, I am hoping this isn't a big dent to what have you. I still don't understand what raw computing means to be honest.

#PowerMonth: Blue and Black Ninja Rangers Lightning Collection


 After radio silence, we finally get the new Lightning Collection reveal. The 100th Lightning Collection figure is Billy the Blue Ninja Ranger and the 101th is Adam the Black Ninja Ranger. For those unfamiliar, the Ninja Rangers were introduced in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie (1995), as powers based on the Ninjetti granted by Dulcea on the planet of Pheados. You could see the actor's eyes as the mask didn't cover their forehead and eyes. For Season 3 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the story was retold with Ninjor giving them the Ninja Ranger powers and a mask covered their forehead and eyes, to conceal the stunt/suit actors. Also the suits used for the show were a cheaper quality than the ones using in the movie. I like the Ninja Rangers and these figures are way better than what we got in 1995, they were very bulky as they never in Japan and at that point Bandai only copied or recreated the Japanese toys. 


Also, the sculpt for Billy looks way better than the one for the regular Blue Ranger figure and looks more akin to the Metallic Armor version. And Adam looks more like the Metallic Version than the Zeo version.

Is this what they call Power Month?


 

It has been 8 days since the last Power Rangers Lightning Collection reveal and Hasbro had been boasting #PowerMonth but it feels more like it was just Power/Turtle Month with only Turtle Ranger reveals last week. Granted there has been some reveals of Super7 figures and RetroMorphin figures but the Ninjor RetroMorphin reveal was in July and we already knew about Ranger Slayer RetroMorphin figure.
