Youre a spazz

[@bentruett1163]

The 90s one sounds like I'm getting an amber alert when it summons the dragon zord. Like Tommy is looking for a kid on top of a green mecha Godzilla lol.

[@HaloNoble1]

That sounds like a very power ranger thing to do

[@edwinyi7064]

the 90s one sounds horrible lol

[@mattfernandes7567]

I like that Hasbro did something different, but my vote would go to Legacy. It just looks and feels perfect for an adult collectible. Hasbro’s version is the kids toy we always wanted 30 years ago.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I feel like the Legacy version is unnecessarily heavy. This makes a better cosplay prop.

[@ArsyaUtomo]

You don't want to get legacy for cosplay

[@kiwiangeldust6912]

OtakuUnitedStudio That’s why it’s a display piece

[@mattfernandes7567]

OtakuUnitedStudio I agree. If you’re going for cosplay, I would go with a resin 1:1 replica. No electronics or weight required. There used to be some amazing resin replicas of the dragon dagger/zyusouken years ago. Not sure if they’re still available.

[@ArsyaUtomo]

@@mattfernandes7567 need more eltectronics, like cosplay these days

[@NotThatGuy_YepThatGuy]

If they made a lightning collection Ranger weapons that combined into the power blaster, i would sooooo buy that

[@datoneburrito3036]

I would be broke

[@gamingnubs7628]

I guess its a cool idea. The problem is that it would be either small or too large.

[@NotThatGuy_YepThatGuy]

@@gamingnubs7628 the only way i wpuld buy it is if they were as close to 1:1 scale as possible, just as this and the legacy collection had been. That being the case i dont see how it could be too large.

[@NotThatGuy_YepThatGuy]

Even though I love the Hasbro Lightning Collection (especially the figures), I SOOOO miss the Bandai Legacy roleplay and zord line. It's so funny, how Hasbro, home of the Transformers, has basically ignored Zords for the most part, in the main and collector toyline.

[@ludalfa]

I hope the zords come eventually. I would love a new in space mega Voyager Megazord or a Astro mega ship

[@shanthegamer21]

Ludalfa Hasbro did sell a Playskool Heroes Megazord (based on MMPR’s Dino Megazord).

[@henrywong997]

Hasbro is actually better at developing action figures than robots. Their Marvel Legends line are some of the best figures at the $20 price point. Even though thr Transformers IP is shared by Hasbro and Takara Tomy, Takara mostly does the design and engineering.

@@locke103 Don't remind me

[@unclebrian8156]

I agree with you 100% about how none of the dragon daggers don't play "Go Green Ranger Go" It's just like how Legacy Saba didn't play "White Ranger Tiger Power" where with the Golden Power Staff played "Go Gold Ranger"

[@nine_tails137]

IKR! Such a missed opportunity by Hasbro.

[@daveeelmie1658]

I think Hasbro wins interms of functionality but for looks and quality bandai wins

[@shanthegamer21]

You love the muscular, unrealistic looks on the figures, right?

[@daveeelmie1658]

@@shanthegamer21 I meant as a comparison of lightning collection vs legacy collection role play item's

[@JaredGillenwater]

So, personal opinion from the video, I wish I could hear them in person, and maybe I will one day... The Hasbro one seems to have a more crisp speaker. It sounds less electronic than the Legacy one... Again, that is from the video, it might sound different in person. However, the one thing that I think is a legitimate problem with the Lightning one is the command song. Legacy's command song is correct. It ends on that higher note. The last note of the command song on the Lightning Collection dragon dagger is offensive to the ear... It is the equivalent to the "Aye, aye, ahh!" that glitches out on the Legacy communicator.

[@e0are]

You’re jokes man. They deserve more credit. You are the only reviewer that has me cracking up. I’m not yoooo maid and the waiting room music lol and the 90s shit lol oh man. You deserve more subs man. Hopefully I meet you again at a future morphicon

[@CrudderButterXD]

The 90s one sounds so bad it’s actually funny. Edit: You didn’t even have the 2010 version in here to compare. 0/10 review Edit 2: 8:19 That’s pretty meta.

[@shanthegamer21]

The 2010 version stinks. Molding it into a bootleg lightsaber? Really?!? 🤣

[@KJtheSK]

"To much MMPR! Get it away!" Literally me every time a new toy release is shown for power rangers lol

[@theshield8174]

😭

[@KazROBOeatcat]

3:59 that sound like toilet flush

[@QuantumSurge64]

I wouldn't mind getting either. Or both. Also I think those remix tunes were used in a Play-Doh video featuring the Beast Morphers team

[@fredyrodriguez8881]

3:38 That’s amazing

[@TanLe-jz7sg]

I like how when you play the notes it plays it back to you (originally)

[@MagicKillerClub]

I wish my legacy dagger had that weathered effect. I think it looks great.

[@dariusq8894]

7:09 The lighting collection Dragon Dagger is junk. Looking cheap is bad enough, but the Dragon Missile tune is wrong. I like some of the features they added but not being sound accurate when even the 90s version was closer is beyond unacceptable. Legacy version for the win.

[@SegaSky]

The sounds on the Lightning version are closer to Zyuranger while Legacy is more MMPR. I'll have both when my Lightning arrives but going by the review I think they're both great in different ways. I also think the lack of die-cast will make Lightning the preferred one for cosplayers. Less weight hanging at your side.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

That's what I am hoping for.

[@MarkyMarc89]

Hasbro can and will never top Bandai’s Legacy Dragon Dagger and their Legacy Dragon Symphony Zyusouken (Super Sentai version) and their stand 10 times better than those pieces of plastic that even has a large gold Dragozord coin in the middle. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6bIY3yefraoirc

[@indymudshow]

The "instrumental" as you put it, was the version of the song that played at the end of the show when it was showing the credits

[@Zeoproo]

I only have two problems with the Lightning Collection dagger 1. You can't play sharps or flats on mode 1 2. You can't turn it off

[@nine_tails137]

What?! No on/off switch? Then how do we prevent Battery leakage when not in use? Remove the Batteries? If so, that a huge flop on Hasbro's end! Cause I prefer to turn off my electronics when not in use, to save energy.

[@125SonGoku]

Awesome review. I just picked up one of the Lightning Collection Dragon Daggers to use for conventions since I don’t need to press down on the mouth piece to summon the Dragonzord and because I think the light up effect and the added Dragonzord roar are nice additions. Shame none of these 3 Daggers or the Master Morpher play Go Green Ranger Go and instead we have 3 variations of the theme song that won’t see use. Like, a club remix of the theme song is neat and all but it feels unnecessary. Wish they would’ve kept the battle sounds the Legacy one had too. Another reason I picked up the Lightning Collection model was to retire my 90’s one because JDF signed it over the blade and to retire my Legacy one as JDF signed its box so I’m keeping them as display pieces to him. This one I wasn’t able to get signed so it’s getting played with lol. Luckily, it seems like the one out of the 3 best suited for play. The battle damage on the blade is another neat touch. It’s a shame Hasbro is doing away with producing Lightning Collection products as they had some real bangers.

[@danbowie3020]

Did you know you can play "smoke on the water" on this version of the Dragon dagger?

[@Zeoproo]

You can but one of the notes will be wrong because you can't play sharps or flats

[@emilh2361]

I remember.. oh I remeber when I was probably 5.. year 2000 I found this toy at a flea market with my mom. I didnt know it was a powerranger thing until today.. the sound the original made went right down memory lane

[@RedRanger9305]

I've got a hunch that the Legacy Dagger could actually be the Sentai counterpart, only recreated.

Let me be real honest, this is the only Dragon Dagger or Zyusouken that can be played like an actual flute. If anyone is skilled enough to play Burai's melody with this thing, I'll be proud.

[@kevtlee08]

I like the ability to manually play the dragonzord song.

[@jamescostigan5765]

I think the music for the legacy one sounds slightly closer to MMPR and the lighting one sounds closer to Zyuranger.

[@jeman3rd]

Finally a real review! For me, the legacy version is most suitable for display. While lighting collection suitable for cosplay.

[@philsswweightlossdiary2944]

Ive got the lighting one on pre-order and I’m seriously considering dropping it and getting the legacy one. I did have the legacy one a few years ago and sold it. As a collectible piece, the legacy one wins hands down for me. As a cosplay piece, lightning collection probably wins but seeing as I don’t cosplay it’s not for me.

[@ethanwalker2153]

Any idea how you'd be able to get the original bandai? lost mine while i was moving a few years ago and wouldn't mind getting another one now that my kid is getting into power rangers a bit. looked on ebay and couldn't find the exact one

I want Bandai to do a full MMPR Legacy weapon line that would make the blaster . I'd buy it all up lol. But yeah Lightning collection full line would be great. Especially sword of darkness that's a missed opportunity for both Bandai & Hasbro(if they don't announce) Fr Fr .

[@drakozero8]

Which is show accurate? Was the one used in the show chrome gold? Or just gold.

[@mRibbons]

i just realized.... green ranger used the flute with his helmet on. HOW???

[@locke103]

jazz hands!

[@calipitty3214]

That's why I love my legacy dagger, its mouthpiece is a button so that was a nice surprise to make it look/feel like your doing it like the show. I just got it this month for $80 NIB MINT from a Canadian collector didnt know it's worth I guess😂Ebay can be great sometimes . My lightning Edition preorder just shipped tonight while GameStop had a 20% all collectables but they didn't adjust price like Amazon would've sadly . You should check to see if sale is available still.

[@Biofan813]

Oh man! An instrumental vr of the mmpr ending theme. I love that version.

[@nine_tails137]

Would have been ever better if Hasbro added "Go Green Ranger Go!". Since Bandai didn't do that.

[@StefenHudson]

Wow. We finally get a toy with the actual Dragonzord roar sound. I know that roar is from Sound Ideas, so maybe Hasbro has a license for including it in toys and Bandai never did. Then again, it also has that whoosh sound mixed in, so maybe it's the version that came from that old soundbites album. It sounds like the pitch was modified in any case. One thing I did notice is that the music doesn't sound exactly like the show. The Legacy version doesn't either. Whether they used trumpets or something else for the original songs I'm not sure.

[@thewolf8660]

**Sees video notification** ......I thought I had day one shipping....

[@trenellsmith9057]

What in size? Because nowhere in Zyuranger did Burai have a shiny Zyusouken.

[@ayrieton]

the lightning collection is the one you can carry on a cosplay while the Banday Legacy is the one you want to display on a glass shrine long with your premium toy collection.

I feel like Hasbro should focus on other seasons instead of just MMPR. I would love to see other morphers and hopefully Hasbro releases older megazords.

The Hasbro one definitely has the most accurate music. Unfortunately its far too low. Although, the speaker could've been muffled against the table. I plan to collect all 5 of the Hasbro Lightning weapons, especially if they have a combining feature. But I'm not sure if I need another dragon dagger when I already have the other 2.

[@qazl1979]

I can’t wait to get this.

[@Enterthedarkness23]

The gold paint looks pretty bad given the price that's being charged. I don't like the weathered look on the blade. But the MMPR theme remix collection is pretty fun. Wooo Woooo Overall not great but still worth it if you don't own any version of the Dragon Dagger yet.

[@shanthegamer21]

At least the weathered look made it look like a REAL weapon and not just a “Child’s Play” thing. Not everything you have in your home could not have a single scratch; objects age just like people.

I think I still prefer what Bandai has done for the fans. But I have to say the Hasbro version looks a bit more show accurate. Bandai's version looks like an amazing collectible. Just a shame we didn't get past the power sword. Would be nice to at least work out how to get the other weapons. But if anything, I think Hasbro's HasLab or just Hasbro Pulse will give us a better chance at completed the collection with the power sword, axe, bow, dagger, lance.

[@extemefireworks91]

I already have the legacy dragon dagger, so is it worth it for me to get the lightning collection?

[@MarkyMarc89]

Hell no. Hasbro’s Lightning Collection “props” are nothing but kid’s toys. Bandai’s Legacy Dragon Dagger is a heavyweight adult collectible containing diecast metal and 24 carrot gold, while the Lightning Dragon Dagger is basically just a light plastic toy that’s not worth wasting $50 on. Hasbro’s Lightning Collection Power Morpher isn’t worth wasting $50 on either because of the many inaccuracies it has such as how it’s way too bulky than the original, there is a huge gap between the power coin and the morpher, and the Power Rangers logo is way too thin compared to the 1993 and Legacy Power Morpher which were both used on screen. Unlike Bandai, Hasbro concentrates more on the item’s electronics than screen accuracy and the use of high quality materials.

[@cameronjsmith7382]

Dude awesome!!!!!!! I have a vintage dragon dagger too!
