Someone explain this to me...

Hasbro sending out the Rita Repulsa from the Power Rangers Lightning Collection. I can't even understand how they pulled this one off. The likeness and details of this Power Rangers Rita are perfect. If you're a Power Rangers fan then you definitely need to get this one.

[@braddecker1857]

Wow. This figure is surprisingly amazing.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Very surprising

[@timrice7317]

Great review. I think the bigger box is Hasblow trying to justify a "deluxe figure". She always called the staff a magic wand. Which was weird. LoL! The last face is her headache after defeat face.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Nah, definitely bubble guts face. 😂 Deluxe is definitely an exaggeration, but that’s pretty normal for them, I guess.

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

The box is a waste of space.

[@AlphaProto]

I think she called her staff a magic wand to fit the mouth movements better. Staff is just one phoneme. Magic wand is three.

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Some of these Lightning Collection figures are surprisingly good to the point that they're almost comparable to import stuff. Even the wave 1 Lord Zedd is a step ahead, but especially now with this Rita, Finster, Pudgy Pig. The rangers are well done too, but their costumes are so simplified that these villains by comparison get so much more put into them. Goldar and Scorpina could have been on their level too with deeper gold colouring.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

It’s crazy

[@GrayskullPrime]

Lol. That's literally a Ranger wearing a Rita costume. There's unintentional irony in that.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha, maybe its the backstory we never got

[@thomasgoesnostalgic]

Gotta get yourself a Finster. Definitely one of my favorite figures in entire collection. I thought they nailed the first release of her but this one is wayyy better!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I’ve heard good things about Finster!

[@TrueNomadSkies]

Finster is such a wonderful sleeper. You could totally convince me he was an import figure if I didn't know anything about Lightning Collection.

[@thomasgoesnostalgic]

@@TrueNomadSkies excellent figure! And crazy how low he is priced now but good for those wanting to grab him. Totally agree!

[@TrueNomadSkies]

@@thomasgoesnostalgic I snagged him for 65% off from the US Amazon along with the Astronema/Ecliptor two pack. Crazy how good that deal was. I paid about half as much as I would have from Amazon or at Canadian retail here, even with shipping, exchange rate, and the currency fee. Even without sales or what not, he's smaller so normally costs the same as the regular rangers just as the Tenga/Tengu did which is pretty nice.

[@anthonybianchi3726]

I used to watch Power Rangers as a kid in the 90s and never was big on the toy line, but dang this figure might change my mind, or at least I'll pick up this and maybe one ranger 😄

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

And so it starts! Haha

[@alexwright6975]

She should have been packaged in her space dumpster. That way she could be posed emerging from it like the into and 1st episode.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Aw mannnn yeah

[@tyestancil2783]

That would have been amazing, and she could have come with a handheld one for Lord Zedd!

[@Justincredibletoys]

Lol Zordon said they can’t escalate a battle unless Rita does LOL

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Well there we go lol

[@salvation7362]

Hasbro has been surprising collectors recently with some pretty banger figures, the issues as always is the inconsistency in quality, quantity and effort that is put into any given line. I'm not a Power Rangers collector but even I have to admit that it's a damn good figure. Hopefully this is not an exception but signs that things are changing for the better over there. More of this and less of G.I. Joe Classified Falcon.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Please and thank you lol

[@rebooting80s]

It looks great. But I think I'm going to wait till (if) when they come out with the Rita from the 2023 comics.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I hope they do

[@mattdavis4056]

It does look pretty good. Thanks for the review, I've got her on pre order.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Nice!

[@Ryan_TheBold]

They’re all dolls, Johnny!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

[@Doesmachine87]

Surprise offering from Has-bro

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Totally!

[@prophet924]

The line was winding down so the design team got to make a very deluxe figure. Plus they had most of the figure figured out with the previous figure made.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

True!

[@MADMONEYMAN5000]

Aside from the internal sabotage of this line, Hasbro doesn't care about it unless it's MMPR related.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Unfortunately

[@MADMONEYMAN5000]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed Very unfortunate as there's other seasons other than MMPR. Just because it was the first, that doesn't mean it's the best either

[@popculturehero]

Different Hasbro Brands do have vastly different levels of quality and value added accesories. Because their done by different teams, the power rangers line goes a bit further with effect parts and accessories than marvel legends and Black Series for sure. I only have a couple since I'm not a big Power Rangers guy. Green Ranger Shredder is Amazing. Though they do have absurd prices for Megazords.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I suppose that makes sense. It’s a real bummer though

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

Marvel and Star Wars also lack accessories due to the licensing costs from Disney. Power Rangers and GI Joe are inhouse brands, so there is no license to pay for.

[@MADMONEYMAN5000]

Hasbro's Power Ranger team is filled with people who hate the line. And only show any interest if it's MMPR related to cater to the casuals

[@thefatman69dude]

I got her to and I was so impressed. I was like wow this figure is insanely good and I feel the same way you do about hasblo. Like the legends team needs to get the power rangers team to work on their figures. This figure is like leaps and bounds better then any thing from the legends line.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yes! It doesn’t make any sense to me

[@meowskull]

I was blown away by this figure. Every other release from them in this line is mid or just flat out garbage. This figure though, god damn.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Proves they CAN do it

[@moescatobotcollects]

She is extremely great also actually ummmm that’s called her magic wand!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I have a magic wand!

[@moescatobotcollects]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed I want to cast a spell with it!

[@PLASTK_pizza]

I’ve considered doing a selfie series Red Ranger. I’m just not completely sure if anyone is actually satisfied with their figure

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

100% of those Selfie Series look like the same person lol

[@DawnofComics]

My other half got this figure for me for Valentine’s Day he’s so sweet and knows what I like lol I’ve seen someone with the robo face version. Maybe Etsy do it.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That is awesome!

[@reiddutchess9955]

Well you see, they used a huge box because they wanted to save money and the environment by using no plastic. Obviously that means they need to use twice the required amount of cardboard and ink. Duh 😅 Thank you for the review as always!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha! Hasbro being Hasbro

[@masonj4779]

Well for uneducated people you guys sound like you know something, cuz you know wood can’t be regrown. But keep posting your facts.

[@HenshinHaro]

Happy to see she turned out pretty good. I’m still waiting on mine to ship, but thankfully I have less worries about how mine will be. Also waiting on the the Super7 Rita. Seen one in-hand pic of her and she seems to have turned out decently too. Probably not as nice as Hasbro’s, but Hasbro is on their second attempt at Rita.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Dang, I hope the Super7 is good, because they fail constantly with human faces. The recent GI Joe is awful, but not as bad as the Green Ranger.

[@HenshinHaro]

I don’t usually use the human heads on my power rangers figures, but those heads on wave one rangers really had me worried about Rita. Thankfully the one Rita I saw seemed ok, but that was just one example. Super7 really needs to step up and do better on those human faces though.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

@@HenshinHaro yes and not sell based on renders only

[@AlphaProto]

I had the Rita that was packed with Zedd. I am tired of Hasbro making these two packs when the character has a single release. If I get this new Rita, I''m going to have 2 Rita, and 2 Zedd. Hasbro does some ridicules stuff.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

They really do!

[@JAbell1966]

The box size is to differentiate a higher price point figure from the standard $25 figure, nothing more.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

"Deluxe"

[@TasteTheD]

just wow!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

right?

[@lareh5501]

10:10 well, super7 gave her the telescope as an additional accessory.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That’s a plus

[@CS-ro1mx]

Would that green be gross if it was turtles?

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yes lol

[@RetroToyPrincess]

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

[@figuredretro6657]

While this is tempting, I already have the first release and the S7 Ultimates Rita. Had she come with the Dumpster I would have picked this up instantly but alone it's not offering enough when I already have the other 2. Nice figure though!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

This should 100% replace that first release. They are WORLDS apart

[@silverbricks_yt]

Is this a Power Rangers review?!? Wow I love Power Rangers!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha and I’ll do more of people send them

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

This figure is fantastic. A shame I can't justify buying it now that they have put the line on a year-ish long hiatus. At least, at full price. If I see here at Target for like $12, I'll bite. She does put the original to shame. Most of the lightning effects make no sense with how they are supposed to go on.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

This is a line I never see at target. The Hasbro section is usually sad

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

That's becasue they tend to clearance them as soon as they get them. The last wave of deluxe figures arrived at my Targets at the end of April and were on clearance 3 weeks later. Then they restocked them last month at full price, and now they're on clearance again.

[@cazz8017]

Ill stick to the 2 pack Rita I got with LORD Z. paid 35 for that 2 pack. well worth

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That’s the better Zedd too

I got the first release when she was double packed with Zedd. She sits in their box to this day. I’m not too bothered if the line is going on hiatus for the year, though. Some of Hasbro’s choices are maddening for this line. If you want an accurate Green Ranger, you need to buy like three different figures. Each release has had some problem or omission. Power Rangers is a great childhood line for me and I want to see it succeed.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yeah, it’s annoying how they handle stuff sometimes

[@reiddutchess9955]

The green ranger inaccuracies are the most infuriating for me 😅

[@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork]

@@reiddutchess9955 I'm more annoyed at the last of consistency between teams, the lack of villains and monsters for non-Season 1 shows, and the inability to complete teams more frustrating than the problems with just Dragon Ranger. Where are the Machine Empire's monarchy? Darkonda? Gluto, Frax, Nadira, and Ransik? Captain Mutiny, Treacheron, Barbarax, Slugsworth, Trakeena, and Deviot? Zeltrax? Grumm and his daughter? And then all of the monsters of the week like Lipsyncher, Hate Master, Silo, Mirlock, etc. The grunts for every series? But they'll do tons of crossover crap we never asked for like some trash called Cobra Kai that uses the same bodies as the ninja team that is collecting dust on Target's clearance endcaps.

[@AlphaProto]

@@reiddutchess9955 Hasbro out did their selves with Green Ranger. The new Deluxe Green Ranger does not come with the Dragon Shield. You have to buy Deluxe Red Ranger to get it!

Yeah, with this new deluxe series it seems they are doing away with waste swivel for an ab crunch and the chest is on an upper ball joint for the turn and more forward/back articulation. The new Black Widow figure does this as well and at first I was skeptical “no waist swivel c’mon!?” but it works really well.

I watched the Geek Effects review of her and I was very surprised

[@Mark_Knight]

Cloth is cheaper than sculpts, so this is how thy can include so many accessories. Almost no tooling because body is a reused power rangers body.
