LOL, I'm glad that y'all got the reference !

The way that Morlun's hands are sculpted, they're perfect for sinister Mr. Burns-esque finger-arched poses.

Plus, the way that he's leering at Kimberly is an homage to my childhood crush on Amy Jo Johnson.
I feel like I probably stared at my TV that same way (but hopefully far less creepily, LOL) during her scenes, while watching MMPR as a kid

It all began when Hasbro Pulse announced their 40% off sale, and I finally decided to pick up the Rogue & Pyro 2-Pack.

A little while later, Big Bad Toy Store MIRACULOUSLY announced that the rumored re-release of the Lightning Collection figure of Kimberly was actually in stock !
Now that I finally had the opportunity to add her to my collection, I had to play catch-up on all of the other Pink Rangers that I wanted, but had begrudgingly passed on since I didn't have the version of Kimberly that I wanted the most.
I immediately ordered the April & Michelangelo MMPR/TMNT 2-Pack at 40% off from Pulse (since April briefly replaced Kimberly in the crossover comic). Unfortunately, that set hasn't arrived yet, and I was too impatient for it to arrive before taking this pic.

Next, I swung by Target for the newly-released Pink Ninja Ranger, and then went to a couple of GameStops and snagged the cel-shaded Pink Ranger and the Ranger Slayer. I even found a $10 Morlun at one of the GameStops !

It was such an amazing coincidence that BBTS would restock Kimberly, just as Pulse was putting Pink Ranger April & Yellow Mikey on sale, all while my local Targets were finally stocking Ninja Kimberly ! Like I said earlier, it was a perfect storm of Pink Rangers !

LOL, nice !
Although Kimberly will always be my favorite, I definitely liked Kat too.
Right now, I'm kinda kicking myself for not picking up any of her figures during the HasbroPulse sale.

Dr Kain · 06-12-2022, 02:39 PM

I actually never found Kimberly to be all that attractive like my friends did. I was more of a Trini fan for the first season and then Kat in the third through Turbo.

As smitten as I was with Kimberly, I was a HUGE fan of Trini too.
After she left MMPR, I was pleasantly surprised to see her in the second Crow movie. Her outfit in that movie had a profound impact on my younger self, LOL ! But ... I digress ...

I wish Hasbro would make more Lightning Collection figures of Trini. They re-released her a while ago, but from what I've seen in collector's groups on FB, only a small number of the people who had her pre-ordered actually received her.
She's still available for pre-order from BBTS and Entertainment Earth, and I have her pre-ordered through EE, but if the second re-release doesn't actually happen, I just might order the Aisha and Scorpina 2-pack. Since I'll have to forgo having Trini's head sculpt, I'll just display the helmeted Aisha as Trini (since it's the same body Hasbro used for their MMPR Trini figure).

Sure, there's the upcoming "Swap" 2-pack, but that figure is based on the current Boom! Studios version of Trini, and just doesn't look like Mighty Morphin-era Trini, so I'm going to pass on that set.

I'm honestly shocked that there have been so many Yellow Ranger figures of Aisha, and so few of Trini.
Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 Lightning Collection figures that Hasbro has made of Aisha (granted, one won't be available for a few more months), which surprises me, because I had no idea that she was so popular.

To be fair, The only reason Zack and Jason have more head is because of both of them having the Dragon Shield at a point in each one, so Hasbro was able to get two figures out of each.

There's also a rumor that the nextw ave will contain an Adam version of the MMPR BLack Ranger, which I hope has the updated helmet and maybe even the stick version of the gun.

I'm super excited for the two pack with the male yellow ranger body since now I can dump my female yellow and have Boi.

Aye, i don't have him yet but I've seen the comparison pics and he's one of the biggest figures in the line.

Compared to Classics

Bigger than Revelation

Group shot if you intending to use him as Rev Episode 1 pre-timeskip Beastie

I nabbed those pics from an instagram account called plaityme. They and more pics (like of him in his big furry gear) can be found here

EternianJerkian · 06-13-2022, 08:57 AM

Aye, he looks cool. Sorry if I stole your thing then, Atomsmasher mate. I just saw those comparison pics earlier and thought they might be useful for folk here. Enjoy the cool Beastie.

In the group shot poor skeletor looks short compared to everyone

Atomsmasher · 06-13-2022, 10:20 AM

It's no problem and they are some great pictures. I haven't freed wave 2 through 4 or any of the deluxe guys from the prison of cardnoard yet.

Ace. I don't know why that figure's torso colour is off. But if you using the armours I guess it ain't too noticable. I'mma buying me one when I can. I've no idea when it comes out here in the UK. We're still waiting for King Grayskull all the US folk already purchased

I used some vintage beastman armor for revelations beastman.

Dr Kain · 06-13-2022, 09:33 PM

Sorry, what's the difference between the two Beast Mans other than one of them doesn't come with his armor?
