Power Rangers Lightning Collection Wave 6 GOLDAR vs GameStop Exclusive Goldar Comparison & Review

[@benjaminwiseman6567]

Too late now, but my favorite villain was Eye Guy. Such a cool and creepy design.

[@Batmikeman]

I can't believe they put a $20 price tag and give us less of a figure that we already have

[@KaiBrix]

Why the art on the back of the box just "taunts" us with the figure having more but doesn't have in real. It's specially painful in the case of white Dino ranger and goldar😭😭

[@JustACommonFan]

I AGREE 100%

[@RedThrasher]

Yeah, even as a kid, I always wondered why the pictures on the box and prototypes look better than the actual figures.

[@timothygenewong]

My favorite villain from the MMPR era is Lord Zedd, but, as far as monster-of-the-day, I really love Terror Toad and Pudgy Pig.

[@forestdodson3030]

Favorite MMPR villain would by far be King Sphinx. My question is, why was he so heavily marketed as much (if not more than Goldar) when he has such a small role in the grand scheme of things?

[@anthonyjefferson6421]

My favorite villain... was the green ranger. He handed the rangers ass to them on a silver platter.

[@shoken4421]

that was b4 he got turned good then he sucked. sadly

[@JAYREKLESS]

Sucks being a completionist....Thankfully I'm not so I'm skipping this.

[@GutiCurse]

Rito the brother of Rita should be the next villain, I would Ivan Ooze he's my true favorite from mmpr.

[@SymbiSpidey]

Dude, Rito would be so awesome in this line

[@MikeJones-tc2iq]

Totally agree!

[@DesignIncase]

Part of the problem with the "listening to fans" is that you wonder why they didn't do it begin with? It's one thing if they modified the body but here is the same thing. The clipped wings are what expands out into the full wings. It's just they didn't use all the winged footage from the sentai. It's a nice little retcon in season 2 but I really don't think Hasbro was trying to make a season 1/2 Goldar. The promo art on the back of the box are all renders on the back of the box. They aren't real figures but those models are generally what's used in production. So it's why we get inaccuracies in color and app placement. Right now I'd tell people to go buy the Gamestop version first and foremost. A darker stain and better sword really isn't enough to offset the wings/extra hands. Grab some umber paint and make a wash and you can get an equal or better look. It's not a bad figure but it's the same figure. I don't want to see Goldar again unless it's the movie version or his second form. No double pack figures with Rito or Scorpina. Goldar is done unless they add in 10 more points of articulation and better wings.

[@iRichardEllis]

All this is gonna so is bring out those people who swap parts and return them. Targets will have this hanging with the old sword before long and that’s another reason this is a bad move. Cause the only improvement is the sword!

[@Bosstype90]

Facts

[@threefeetoffun]

Just made me run over to check the sword of the of the one I bought today. Ok I am good.

[@kaiju-odanny9778]

Honestly, I do wish that this Lightning Collection Goldar 2.0 SHOULD have been released in the first place, with much better paint-apps, and more accessories with both folded wings and open wings. Perhaps in the near future whereas he will be a figure set with Scorpina, potentially though.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

I prefer the original release with fully articulated wings. I also think the sword energy effect on the original looks better. Some Citadel wash paint could add detail. Only the longer better painted sword on the new one is an improvement. They could've improved the paint apps given him the wing stubbs and the full wings.

[@mrandmrsmedia637]

I like the Rapping Pumpkin. Hopefully they make a figure of him and a Putty with a pumpkin for a head just like the episode.

[@Astrognat7]

Goldar was my favorite villain Thanks for taking the hit and comparing the two releases. I’m canceling my preorder and waiting for it to show up at Ross in year lol

[@michaelvaldez5993]

Hasbro need to have a 2-pack of Squatt and Baboo, or a 3 pack and just add Finster lol... those 3 for some reason are my favorite. Shoot, Bulk and Skull needs to be made as well!

[@pensacolian211]

Yes, yes, and hell yes! I'd buy them all. Bulk and Skull are my favorite characters, but it'll probably never happen, because I rarely get what I want.

[@michaelvaldez5993]

@@pensacolian211 we can only hope lol... I'd get those in a heartbeat, especially with the real face printing tech Hasbro got going, these figures would look great! AND they need to re-do Amy Jo's face again.. they did her wrong! lol

[@amirnoor8607]

My favourite villain is Scorpina. Not much given to her on the show but seeing her in the comics was just badass. Would LOVE to get a figure of her some day!

[@GeneralNukem]

I was honestly glad they did Goldar again cause it saves me 20 dollars having him already. If he ever goes on clearance I will pick up the second one.

[@jonsalnick507]

Lord Zedd was my fave. Props to him for staying married to the annoying voice of Rita Repulsa. He prepared me for life as a kid lol

[@shoken4421]

@Jon Salnick he must have seen something in her he liked. otherwise she would have been back in the trash can after the potion wore off

[@Derinku]

I live in Mexico, I sold my Goldar months ago, and today I bought him again for 4-5 dlls aprox, the store had like 10+ in the shelf

[@D21BeastReviews]

Wow. Wish I could have found a Goldar for $5. My local GameStop (I only have the one) only got two Goldar's in and they never restocked. Nice steal, man! Thanks for the old/new comparisons.

[@pensacolian211]

My Gamestop had a bunch of them, and they set on the shelf for months. I think they finally got rid of them.

[@AudyAzfar]

My favourite from mmpr has always been lord Zedd simply because just how cool he is and the fact that he's the main bad guy for power rangers super legends was awesome. My favourite monster of the week has always been shellshocked, loved just how silly the idea of a turtle with stop light powers is

[@2736492821]

in a short one and a half year (probably less than that since I received my first lightning collection fig last year April/may), they have re-released in one way or another: 1) goldar, 2) putty, 3) lord zedd, 4) Psycho ranger blue, & 5) Psycho ranger red. what an achievement unlocked!

[@rodneysapangila120]

My favorite villain was King Sphinx. I always thought he is more powerful than Goldar when I was little. XD

[@mangomonkeyboy]

My fav MMPR villain was Scorpina. It's a good thing I waited on the regular release Goldar.

[@hellybellyjim1927]

My favorite PR villain is Scorpina. Especially when she became a giant 🦂 monster, that look was so awesome and always stuck w/ me as a kid

[@ShinyToyRobots]

My MMPR favorite villain is Zedd hands down coolest PR villain design.

And the large imaginext sword still is painted better than either of these attempts!

[@stingerkiller2077]

My favorite mmpr villan is looooooord zed

[@miguelchaves8110]

Hi! I just get mine today at my local Walgreens in Puerto Rico, because i couldn't get the gamestop exclusive! I liked both, but the 2nd release looks cooler even without the wings, i think! Great review as always👍

[@TheTarheel757]

Thanks for your reviews MCU collector, I figured Hasbro re-released figures to improve quality and for collectors that weren't able to get these store exclusives. Either way I'm collecting all of the releases, I hope they do single carded Alpha 5

[@jmoore101]

My favorite villain was the evil Green Ranger under Rita’s control. He rocked everybody’s shit! 😂

[@jsoo67]

HA HA HA HA *glowing green eyes*

[@shades_thebrownguy5142]

"My favorite villain is..." Goldar Haha love the characters design and i liked the little rivalry he had with red ranger Jason.

[@brenthill2656]

You’re welcome to share your opinions! That’s part of why we watch! Goldar (auto correct: Folder) is my favorite villain, and he’s gotta have the wings!

[@specialk3357]

I know it’s not big enough too change anything but, supporting buying this let’s Hasbro keep doing the same stuff w/small differences when we need new characters. At the least wait awhile. Seems pretty recent we were going bonkers for the GameStop release. I’ll be glad when we get a single-packed Rita bc I’m not paying $50 for Rita and another Zedd either.

[@porterchudyk4605]

My favorite villain is the green power ranger it was so awesome to see an evil power ranger.

[@aremdvnasophia]

My favorite villain is Goldar. I wish they'd make a Goldar to scale with Megazord.

[@melodramaticplastic7082]

My favourite villain is the plain Putty. I used to always be entertained by the sound they made.

[@titomanishere5982]

As you could probably tell from our IG convos; my favorite villain would be king sphinx; mostly because he looked so great teamed up with goldar!

[@pcdfan87]

I like the the S1 vs S2 idea, thats EXACTLY what it is.

[@owaindavies8364]

Definitely Scorpina was my favorite villain.

[@michaelleary9233]

She and Goldar were a great couple, we should've got her instead of this reissue.

She was hot in the first season 😍

My favourite villain is Lord Zedd. I've always liked ruler characters, and his design is pretty hardcore compared to most Power Rangers villains.

[@patrickrioux5692]

Great review! My favorite villain was King Sphinx

[@TheGrifikiDancer]

What really really bothers me is that I preordered the gamestop exclusive, cuz I thought it will be gone as fast as it came out... and when I went to my local gamestop, the cashier told me "Oh it seems like it's sold out, but you can order it from the warehouse and pay 8 dlls for shipping to the store" and I say, well I want it and I don't want to miss this figure.. so I ended paying 35 dlls total for my Goldar.... Imagine me next week of picking up my Goldar, seen that every gamestop I went was full of goldars and imagine my face when I saw the gamestop flash sale . And now imagine my face when now!!! we have a "new" one in this wave .... oooh God give patience pls..

[@JaceZ5]

King Sphinx was definitely my favorite! I hate that he got shrugged off and didn't get the screen time his Zyuranger counterpart got

[@marcusmcpherson248]

Wow, Lighting has was too many characters under their IP to have a rerelease THIS soon. The GameStop Goldar wasn't flying off shelves so I don't get it

[@inaheap7172]

I bet if someone does prefer the new on, but like the wings, they could port the Gamestop exclusive wings in the slots for those fake wings. i think I'll be sticking with my Gamestop one. Maybe pick one up to customize. But probably not.

[@williammccall1981]

My favorite villain is Ivan Ooze we need a lightning collection version of him. Hasbro get on that.

[@MIGZ-vb9oh]

My Favorite Villian is Goldar coz' he stay all 3 seasons :) love his golden armor

[@WandererTJ]

Can the wing/stubs be used interchangeably between the two goldars? Can the Gamestop original use the stubs? Can the wave 6 plug in the wings?

[@MCUcollector24]

Yes they can it’s the exact same body mold

[@cmbrock1]

It’s funny how the exclusive is the lesser version of the two except for the wings. It’s minimal improvements should have been at a minimal price since the exclusive version went to clearance but anyway my favorite villain has to be Lord Zedd. I remember when he first came on the scene he was bad ass but then he eventually turned into a joke.

[@turtle-tank8231]

I have both versions and by far is my favoirte out of Lightning Collection him and Lord Zedd

[@stevenewport9354]

Excellent review! My favorite villain has always been Master Vile.

[@KotCR]

Original release with the wings seems better IMO. Yes, the newer version sword is a big improvement, but that's it really - and without the wings, Goldar just feels less complete IMO. He had the wings throughout S2, S3, and the second half of Zeo after he got his memories back. That's alot more screen-time, making his winged-version a better representative if you were just going to get a single figure. Ideally, you'd want the original figure and to just buy the new one for the sword. That's it. Kinda a waste unless you have money to blow though.

[@Garrettsketches]

My favorite evil villain season one ..... SCORPINA !!!! She was and still is the coolest bad guy/ female . She’s sexy but deadly ! And her true form is one sick looking scorpion human monster hybrid ! Love her look as a human and love the scary monster version with her long tail weapon ! Man what an awesome character she was ! Really really hope Hasbro makes her !

[@ChrisFalconBuilds]

My favourite villain has to be Lord Zedd! Super scary and badass until he was dumbed down!

[@Starscream2588]

yeah I only skipped goldar cause I got the gamestop one. to be honest he was missing his wings this is first season goldar.

[@erikalcala1391]

My favorite Villain from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was Goldar!!!

[@nickmandl]

Haha they’re just rereleasing as a cash grab. . . “We listen to the fans, here have a mustard yellow goldar”

[@tenerife_sea]

does anyone know if his head come off? I want to buy this figure for a custom

[@pensacolian211]

I just want more bad guys for my collection, and I get how unrealistic and unlikely that is to ever happen, but I still want it just the same. Scorpina is a must have. There are so many cool monsters from MMPR though, they sold a few of them back in the day, I have no idea whether or not they sold well as I personally never got any, but I'd like to see them attempt it again. I'd also really like figures of Finster, Squat and Baboo. I know they didn't really do much. Finster made the monsters, and Squat and Baboo on rare occasions got involved in small ways, but they were still always there in the beginning, and as such I'd like to have figures of them. In a perfect world I'd want every monster and villain who ever appeared in MMPR to get a figure, but alas this world is anything but perfect, and I consider myself lucky that they've released the villains that they have. It's better than nothing.

Comparing the two Goldar figures, I think that the GameStop Exclusive Goldar is the best. There weren't too many things different when compared to the other one, but only a different sword, the retracted wings, energy effect and a slightly different paint job. If I see this Goldar on sale for only $5 then I might get him? Oh! And MCUcollector, I don't think that you talk too much during the reviews. I actually quite enjoy it...

Aside from the alleged improvements that were promised I wanted this one because the wings on the Gamestop one are so floppy that they're unusable, but I don't think the better sword and back plug things are enough for me to justify another $20 purchase.
