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.

#PowerMonth: Ninja Turtles/Power Rangers Lightning Collection

 







On Thursday, it was revealed Shredder/Green Ranger. On Fan First Friday, they had the design team and Ryan Parrott, writer for the Boom! Comics crossover. The design team clarified that they had to merge the various comic designs for Shredder to get the look for the figure. Artists drew him differently on the cover and comic pages. The Fan First Friday last week went over each figure and behind the scenes trivia.

#PowerMonth: Leonardo and Donatello Rangers

 




This August is #PowerMonth and reveals every day (supposedly). I will believe it when I see it on August 7, Saturday is my birthday so I am hoping for a woozy, but who knows, it's all coincidence. Today's reveal is Leonardo and Donatello of the Ninja Turtles as Rangers. This is from the comics crossover two years ago.

Retromorph Ninjor and Lightning Collection Pudgy Pig



Announced today Walmart will have an exclusive Retromorph Ninjor, based on the DX Ninjor (1995) reformated as a AutoMorphin figure. It is available for order now on Walmart.com.


Lightning Collection Pudgy Pig is a Hasbro PulseCon exclusive but fans (including me) aren't so happy about the cost. it comes with a lunch box.  $57.99 For me, Pudgy Pig is iconic but not worth that price tag.

Fan First Friday: Wave 10 Lightning Collection/Dino Fury Reveals

The last Fan First Friday was Pink Ranger exclusive and had trivia, this time they had a lot to unload (mostly stuff we already heard). We already knew about the Reboks shoes which we knew about but showed neat details (like a broken green heart in the Pink Ranger shoe). Also Legacy Wars and a White Ranger car. As for Lightning Collection, the Eye Guy info was dropped a half hour before the live stream on Twitter with images. No Pink Spandex reported it on Instagram. As for the Wave 10, fans already deduced it from Australian listings last week. 


Eye Guy
John Green of Grnrngr.com says rumors swirled that Eye Guy was supposed to be revealed alongside Piranthishead. This one is even taller than King Sphinx. 


Tanya Yellow Zeo Ranger and Cassie Pink In Space Ranger


Phantom Ranger and Riley Green Dino Charge Ranger
(I'm looking forward to Phantom and glad there is finally 2 females in a wave)




The next clue for the next Lightning figure looks like a Ninjetti/Ninja Ranger.


The Dino Fury Zords were delayed because of COVID restrictions and Hasbro has numbered the zord boxes. T-Rex comes solo while blue and black come together and green and pink come together. I find it strange that they put the two girl zords together. As for Bandai, Bandai used to put any female figure along with a male figure. Speaking of lumping figures together, they revealed Gold and Void Knight are coming solo but for now, Amazon will have a special set with the 5 main Rangers including Black and Green. No news if Izzy and Javi will be coming solo. 

Here is the early prototypes for Gold's zord and the PteraFreeze Megazord (For those who don't follow Ryusoulger, there is a ranger-less Cyan-colored Pteranodon zord). Also, I like the Chromafury Sword and how it can detect colors from anywhere (except fabrics) but I still don't like the Keys. Could it be because of Covid or affordability?
