![]() ![]() All Hasbro would have to do is paint that original figure white and give him the staff from Astronema since he wielded it in the book, something that is also easy to do as her weapon has also appeared already in the line. In the series he’s introduced Morphinaut is the original form of the iconic Phantom Ranger who eventually gets his white armor corrupted by Dark Specter turning It into the look fans know him from the Power Rangers Turbo show.

Around the time of The Illuminerdi’s Exclusive report of the first Battlizer coming to the line from Wild Force I posted on Twitter that Morphinaut was another figure in the works. The dream choice for Hasbro would be a figure that requires no new sculpting of any kind and that’s where the Morphinaut from Power Rangers Universe fits this batch of mystery listings perfectly. The only official piece of merchandise Matt has gotten is a statue from PVC collectibles but he deserves more in order to create his own legacy in the footsteps of his predecessor the legendary Tommy Oliver.

STUDIOS ANNOUNCES POWER RANGERS 30 DIRECT RESERVE CAMPAIGN Due to his long-lasting duration in the books it’s a shock Hasbro hasn’t made a figure yet. ![]() Introduced back in the Go Go Power Rangers series Matt eventually became the new Green Ranger during the Mighty Morphin series and has been part of the main MMPR team in the comics for over 2 years of issues. One of the most glaring missing characters from the Lightning Collection is the new holder of the Green Ranger powers in the comics: Matt Cook. In the past certain releases have been planned to tie into media releases from across the franchise so the timeline of these new listings would be perfect for a second chance at her. In 2020 she gained a new form with new armor and helmet during the Drakkon New Dawn miniseries and while that series was not received the greatest by fans this form will be returning to the pages later this summer in the new issue of Power Rangers Unlimited: The Coinless. Luckily for fans there is another chance Hasbro could take advantage of to bring Ranger Slayer back to the toyline. Hasbro made a figure of Ranger Slayer back in 2020 during Wave 5 which disappointed some fans due to a lack of a civilian head. QUEEN RANGER SLAYERįollowing Lord Drakkon being the first comic exclusive Ranger and first one to get a figure made in the Lightning Collection the next one to make the jump and become an iconic Ranger in her own right was Kimberly from the World of the Chinless as Ranger Slayer. Thankfully even with that in mind there’s still a number of suits these figures could be. Hasbro loves to safe money wherever they can so it’s to be expected some of these figures will be slight repoints or remolds of existing figures already out there. It should be stressed none of these options are leaks for what the final choices will end up being, only just what makes the most sense with the way items in the Lightning Collection are often put together. This set will also be diving into the world of the Boom Studios comics but with the new listings found and the comics continuing to launch even more issues with more possibilities for figure choices then ever there’s so many options Hasbro could go with. The Illuminerdi has already covered the recent leak of the upcoming Omega Rangers 4 Pack release, while how this is being released is also unknown it’s likely it could be made as a convention exclusive for this summer. RELATED: BOOM STUDIOS’ OMEGA RANGERS TO JOIN HASBRO’S FAMOUS POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION IN 2023 Recently it’s been discovered that later on in 2023 Hasbro will be adding a couple more releases of comic characters to the toyline but due to the listings for this group of 4 new figures still being codenamed, it’s impossible to know for sure which characters they will end up being. So far some of these new additions have been added to Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection going fans the chance to bring these designs from the page to life. Through these new tales, not being constrained by the limitations of Japanese Super Sentai footage, the franchise has been able to add a number of new suits and characters to the canon of the franchise. ![]() Ever since 2016, the multiverse of the Power Rangers franchise has been explored by Boom Studios in a whole new way with numerous stories. ![]()
