Apparently it’s hot enough that I have the SHF, lightning collection, Ace Toyz and threezero Rangers because this is calling out to me as well. I hope they come with a few head sculpts to set really take them to the next level. A One:12 Goldar, Rita and Lord Zedd would absolutely smash the LC versions- but that’d only be right seeing as they’ll cost 4xs as much.

You might need to add Super7 to the list. They announced that they'll also making Mighty Morphin Power Ranger figures, specifically Ultimates figures. There aren't any shots yet but the first wave will be Green Ranger, Yellow Ranger, Goldar, Putty Patroler, and the Tyrannosaurus Dinozord.

It could be alternate heads. It looks like the helmet has latches in the shot without the weapons. However the helmet looks smooth in the shot where GR is holding his weapons.

From what I understand, the Japanese helmets used cotter pins to keep the two halves closed since the Japanese team never took their helmets off while in costume. They were either in their uniforms or they weren't.

For the American footage, all of the costumes had to be remade since all of the actors were different sizes than their Japanese counterparts. Since the American Rangers were shown taking their helmets off, they used latches to make it easier to open and close the helmets on camera. The black lines on the belts, the diamonds on the chest, and Tommy's Dragon Shield are also different than then Japanese costumes.

Since the show was a mix of American and Japanese footage, it would make sense for them include helmets to match.
