I think it has to do with sales being poor. They put a lot of money into wave 1. They likely used a pretty good factory. But sales weren't exactly stellar. So they move to a less expensive factory, which also means less quality. Also, some of these are not QC issues, they are planned missing paint apps.

Welcome to Hasbro! I kind of knew this would happen when Hasbro bought over Power Rangers. I have been collecting Transformers for years, and yes, I completely agree with you! Take the 1984 and 1985 Autobot Cars for example, they remade these group of Transformers 4 times. The very first time it took them 9 years (2006 to 2014) to complete the group, but because 9 years is a long time, the aesthetics of the toys kept changing. The second (2015 to 2018), and third (2019) time they did not bother complete the set, and now they are remaking them for the fourth time, so we will have to wait and see...

Fun Fact: I never completed Superion, Bruticus and Constructicon Maximus from the Transformers Energon Toyline, because Hasbro packaged their combiner figures separately. Yet Kenner packaged both Magnaboss and Tripredicus from the Beast Wars Toyline in a complete set, AND the Japanese version of Energon Superion Maximus came packaged in a complete set. What the Hell Hasbro?!

Hasbro is a very hit or miss company. Their transformers figures atleast from Studio Series and Generations are phenomenal with high quality paint apps, weapons, detail, and involved transformations. A leader class is about $5 more than the recent Hasbro Dino Megazord and it makes the megazord look like a McDonald's toy in comparison. The TF team should be making Power Rangers toys.

People were saying hasbro doing the toys would be good, but I was skeptical for a reason. I say that because when I was little, I grew up on Beyblade Metal Fight tops. When the third season (Metal Fury in US, 4D in Japan), they introduced mode changing tops and really fun new tips which were so cool. Hasbro cheaped out and cut all of that out, and they looked incredibly cheap. I actually bought the Japanese ones, which are so much cooler!

I think it comes to the toy quality culture for Hasbro and Bandai(either US or Japan, make your own pick). Hasbro were kid friendly toys(understably) and beefy design visuals to their cover. Bandai on the other hand were meticulous to their toys( whether Japan or International bBandais) details, size(depending to the country's standard but not strayed from Japan's aesthetics) and US Bandai division makes some believable crutches to their PR toys(like in WF Megazord has a aux zord that became a twistable hip that didnt exist in DX Gaoking or some thing).

With respect, and I do love your videos, a lot of these seem to boil down to "bandai did this, why not Hasbro?". As a transformers, star wars, and gi joe person a lot of the points you bring up have been just a standard thing to get used to. Hasbro is not perfect by any means.

The transformer fans can tell ya the exact same complaints. QC is is the top 10 as well.

As someone who used to collect both Power Rangers and Transformers toys over the years, when I heard the news of Hasbro getting the rights to Power Rangers my heart sank. Hasbro's QC has been terrible for the past 10 years (especially on their Transformers line), that it almost KO levels of bad. Speaking of Transformers, I kind of knew Hasbro would put very little effort on the zord side of things due to the Megazords are a massive threat to Transformers as a whole. Hasbro could put out an amazing looking Megazord if they really too, but they won't in case it risks clashing with their golden boy Optimus Prime on the toy shelves (notice how outside of the Best-X Megazord and the new Dino Megazord are the only 2 transforming Megazord's we have seen so far, yet their new Zeo and Thunder Megazord's don't ?). While Bandai did massively drop the ball with Power Rangers over the last 14 years, especially during their final years of owning the rights. I much rather have any of their Legacy Megazord than anything Hasbro has put out so far.

I see a lot of 3rd party Transformers toys being reviewed by Jobbythehong all the time. Hasbro don't really have a problem with them as long as they don't directly call them Transformers. Maybe we can get some nice 3rd party Megazords tooled in the same way.

Those are really comments from someone who never dealt with Hasbro before. As a Transformers fan those are so regular and "normal" that we really are used to it. 1) QC: Those are toys, sold mostly to children, not just to collectors. The biggest way hasbro makes money with their distribution is through parents that see a toy on a shelf and give it to the children, often not even considering if children want them or not. Those QC issues are irrelevant for a child but very important for a collector. But it's also what allow those lower prices compared to a collector item. Same reason behind inconsistency between waves. 2) If stuff gets cut from the original pictures it's for money reasons, and you should not see the single figure alone but the wave or sub wave (imagine a box where you find a group of them of the wave), probably that sub-wave costed too much somewhere else, and something had to be cut. 3) double tipping for accessory it's so common in Hasbro product... especially in the past with differences between takara and hasbro, in Transformers for example. You have to take the hit sadly, it's an exploit (sometimes accidental) on the collector fans, not much you can do. 4) America is the primary market for Hasbro. Stuff doesn't sell as well outside America, so normally they don't bring all the waves or stuff outside of it. It's another thing you have to deal with. In addition, american stores exclusive is something else you will have to deal with, when they're going to do walgreen, target and other stores exclusives only in america

Not only not dealing, but thinking the big company name will get everything right out the gate, with show and toyline. This video title is misleading. I'll give some crap for their first year but I've seen changes, like the MMPR megazord, that prove some effort is still here.

I'm not sure about you all but I definitely love Hasbro's Power Rangers Toys specially the Lightning Collection line which comes with interchangeable head, in my collection I only have the Bandai MEGA FORCE Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, mainly I never buy Bandai Power Rangers Toys is because of the High pricing. I was really shock on how they put the price for the 2017 Power Rangers Movie Toys here in Malaysia at that time, for example the Basic Action Figures were priced at RM99.90 Each which is the price for a Studio Series Transformers figure.

They did extremely good with the morpher for beast morphers I think the reason why toys are a bit cheap with the figures is because there trying to make it affordable, let’s be honest there more painted than the Bandai toys were and it’s there first season so I’m sure they will fix the toys by the next season

Great video! Very informative! I'm a Hasbro fan and was happy to see the Power Rangers come over! Hasbro Pulse has been pretty good with listening to fans. Also, the 3 Putties so far each have different numbers of stripes .

My hope for the Zeo weapons is a weapons pack. I know this is what we were all expecting back with Bandai when they failed to have the MMPR weapons with the figures. Instead, they re-released the figures with the weapons and a new metallic paint job. However, I often look at what Hasbro do with their other lines as a possible hint to the future of the Lightning Collection. They released Marvel Legends Hydra and AIM figures for army building. And soon after, we got the Putty 2 pack. They release deluxe/larger figures like Venom and Apocalypse at a $30 price point and there are rumors that they are planning to do the same thing with Power Rangers monsters like King Sphinx and Pumpkin Rapper. And they did recently release a Transformers weapons pack that included weapons and effect pieces. So it is possible. Imagine a Zeo weapons pack that comes with the 5 individual weapons, the combined Zeo Power Blaster and holstered versions of the Pod Sword.

Great video. I suspect that Rocky's tonfas were pulled because we WILL be getting them at some point in the future with the Zeo team's combined weapon. The reason perhaps that Tommy get's his sword early is because his sword is in a collapsed state when it's part of the team blaster. Maybe Zeo Pink & Yellow are going to be released in a two pack or something with that accessory.

as a transformers collector who knows how hasbro releases can fluctuate, I have two things to tell you. 1. unless your name is starwars your mileage may vary. 2. they are *NOT* going to continue the lightning collection for much longer. you're past the point where the common consumer recognizes the character and will be willing to buy. they trying to sell to kids and parents of kids first, not you, the adult collector. they will start over soon with mighty morphing again, at a different scale with a different design ascetic.

The declining quality overall is probably my biggest concern, as someone who usually buys Japanese figures for like $40 to $60 dollars more than these cost, I sorta was writing off some of the issues as just because of how much less I was paying.

I've been looking for a lightning collection billy I pre-ordered when it was released and my order was canceled due to a factory delay and now I can't find one anywhere. Why aren't they making enough to supply

A lack of accessories in the Lightning collection should have been it's own entire reason. I mean, would it really be so hard to have the Astro Blasters separate into the duel guns? Or a closed version of the Zeo swords for when they're in the holster? I mean, I know these aren't FigureArt level products but for God's sake. (And why don't the Dragon Dagger and Power Morpher have off switches?! Seriously?!) Also, my Zeo red had the paint chip off of all his weapons.

I see it this way and I am scared. With supposed rumors (not confirmed just rumored) about Hasbro wanting to cut Toei and maybe doing everything themselves, they might drop the new season and knowing how MMPR sells better than anything do what they do with Transformers, alternate MMPR universe that is animated/CGI. It cuts needing scenes can just reuse created scenes from their Transformers show and only needing animators, story boards and voice actors (bare minimum, I know more is needed to produce a show). They don't have to worry about getting certain weather conditions, lighting, and set up for shots or having everyone on set to create a scene. But what I see happening to get Rockys Tonfas is them possibly be paired with another Zeo ranger. This is a long shot but I wouldn't mind it. One thing I do hope for (saw a picture on facebook not sure how true it is) is if Hasbro is releasing in the regular Beast Morpher toys a Roxy with the S2 color scheme. I wasn't big on the florescence yellow she had during S1 and preferred the purple in S2 and her Gobusters counterpart.

Sure, we’d still be annoyed if problems remained but if they would at least attempt to explain it then we could understand what is going on.

As someone who's been a Transformers fan for almost 20 years I can tell you: Yeah, they're kinda like this for everything. It really seemed to start in 2009 with the Transformers Dark of the Moon line because their products were pretty good quality back then. I always heard it was to do with oil prices increasing the cost of plastic, but I don't know how well that actually matches up with reality. It's been a rough going since then but I can tell you they've improved over the last couple of years. They're nowhere near where they once were, but they're getting closer each year.

I agree with everything in this video. Getting another Lord Zedd Figure, just to get Rita, is a really dumb marketing decision. Although I do appreciate them painting Lord Zedd's Fingers, unlike the first one. Another thing that pisses me off with Hasbro, is the fact they're packaging the individual Zords separately instead of together. Just like they did with their Transformers Combiner Figures(Ex: Energon Superion, Bruticus, and Constructicon Maximus) YES! I know, Combiner wars gave us a complete set of Constructicons, but still....

I only buy my favorite characters in the power rangers line Lord Zedd Trey of Triforia Zeo Gold Astronema Magna Defender SPD Omega Ranger Doggie Kruger And that's it

With the Lightning collection's issues with quality control, distribution, and the in my opinion poorly handled Psycho ranger 5 pack, I prefer the basic figures from Beast morphers and I wish there were putting out more figures in that style. They are cheaper, have all the articulation I desire, seem to have a higher standard in qc in my experience, and have a wider variety of villains to choose from.

There QC isn't exactly brilliant on other brands either - but paint that bad is a bit less common on Transformers. They tend to suffer from issues like breaking parts, joints to loose or two tight or error assembly (like two left feet), missing paint applications or misstruct pins or the odd wonkey logo. But I know I am not exactly happy when you can't see the products in the packets properly. For example I bought a Prowl Transformers figure and he only had one side window painted the other was paintless. I guess the more expectation there is that something will look a certain way and the more it isn't something you can fix (like loose joints) the more noticeable it is. I've also heard of some issues with Nerf guns too.

Eh, I have several of the lightning collection figures and I haven't had any of those problems with the neck breaking off. I have seen bad paint apps but I just leave those in the store and just move on. I guess this would be more of a problem if I collected every single thing released.

(Comment reposted as deleted it was the only way to delete a bad reply) I don't really have an issues with Hasbro as far as the toys are concerned since I haven't been getting any of the Lightning Collection Figures and I am not sure if I ever will, especially with the nitpicks you've mentioned in this video. The only Hasbro-brand toy that I do have for Power Rangers were the new Dinozord toys. The only issues I had was even getting them and how I had to make a couple visits to my local Target to see if they had the new zord toys and I am lucky it only took me a few visits since one Friday I went there and saw there was the Tyrannosaurus Zord pack and the Triceratops and Sabertooth Tiger Zord pack and then when I went there again the following Sunday to see if the Mastodon and Pteradactyl zord pack were out, and while I had my doubts, they were there and I was finally able to complete my Dino Megazord. I do hope they'll also make a Dragonzord and Titanus, but my biggest issues with Hasbro running Power Rangers is what Sentai's they are chosing to adapt. I know some people are sick of me complaining about this, but I feel that it should reflect the opinion of at least 90% of the Power Rangers fandom. I wanted Hasbro to adapt Kyuranger as Season 26, but that didn't happen as we got Go-Busters adapted instead. Then I hoped for Season 28, but Ryusoulger had to come in and ruin everything. Now I'm hoping for Season 30, but recently, there's this rumor that Hasbro may end their partnership with Toei and what's bad is that the person who brought that rumor out has usually been right before which means there's a higher chance of it coming true than there is coming false, but I'm praying at max level to God this rumor turns out to be false because I would never ever forgive Hasbro if they left Kyuranger unadapted since I know for a fact that it deserves to be adapted 100 times more than Ryusoulger does and if Hasbro refuses to adapt Kyuranger, they are basically saying "we don't care about you fans". Personally, if this turns out to be the case, I think we should contact Haim Saban and beg him to buy the brand back because Hasbro is doing more harm to Power Rangers than good.

I think the sentai agreement WILL end because I don't think they represent what Hasbro is going for anymore. I think even Toei know this which is why they've explicitly used the sentai numbers in Zenkaiger on their helmets and gears, which are not equivalent to their Power Rangers values

@@powerrangertube Well, it better still happen because Hasbro would be making the biggest mistake of their lives if they don't adapt Kyuranger! Although I am wondering if the fans are even going to do anything about it given as to how people just don't seem to care what Hasbro does, but I DO care and I DO care if Kyuranger gets adapted. If Kyuranger doesn't get adapted, not only will I write to Hasbro to tell them what a bad company they are, I will also write to Toei and tell them they shouldn't have made Ryusoulger until after Kyuranger was adapted. I would recommend others do the same so Hasbro knows what the fans actual want, but it looks to me like nobody even cares anymore. Remember when everyone wanted Kyuranger adapted? I want that time back!

Bandai USA practically chased me out of PR years ago with their horrid distribution of RPM (not to mention that the Role play toys were like Cracker Jack prize size and quality) followed by the subsequent down-scaling of the MM re-visit to 3 3/4 inches. At that point, collecting them wasn't even fun anymore, and that was after many years of completist collecting. After seeing these issues with Hasbro, I'm glad I quit PR back when I did!

I noticed a lot of figures were leaked first before they're even announced or they're at stores but still weren't even announced which is so weird.

im so confused on the release of these toys ?

I wonder if jason has master morpher and he can morph to the red and gold ranger

I agree with everything you said. As a fan of power rangers myself i did have an issue with the lightning collection helmets from hasbro. comparing the helmets from both hasbro and bandai it would seem that as of quality bandai was better. no offense to hasbro but i did have trouble putting on the helmets. i did purchase the white and red ranger helmets from mighty morphin from hasbro and they look good but as i stated before i had trouble closing the helmet around my head. The legacy helmets from bandai were a bit bulky but they had more room inside and were easy to put on.

(But are then sold to adults)

the QC, the cheap plastic used and the frequent re-releases within just one and a half year really is what keep me from collecting the line faithfully

I agree and disagree with your points. I have been an avid collector of hasbro figures for 7 years, currently from hasbro I collect Marvel Legends, G.I. Joes, and Lightning Collection. Factory mishaps do happen across all lines from hasbro and any other action figure line that is a “cheaper” line but I’ve never had any issue getting a replacement and most times depending on what online retailer I use they let me keep the defective one. And the one time I had to reach out to hasbro I returned it, then they sent another and gave me credit as well. So on that front the “defects” though its a hassle it will be resolved in your favor. The paint has been hit or miss, and the unmasked heads need some TLC but they are pretty decent. The only real issue I have is having to paint missed deco and most importantly the rereleases off figures we should not have already gotten another black zeo, goldar, green ranger, zedd, or psycho red and blue. It should have been replaced with gold and silver. I just hope hasbro is able to complete the teams up to SPD at least. With customizing I can see that being my forever display of Rangers.

At first, the Lightning Collection was just suffering from the paint, but even in that first wave, there was the issue of questionable sculpting choices. While Shadow Ranger got a soft vest, so he wouldn't be hindered, his shoulders are still dropped way too low to look any where near accurate to the suit. Add to that the missing paint from the helmet and other places and no option for a sheathed version for his sword and it's really questionable what all the hype was about. Moving forward into the line, helmet sculpts have become terrible, or worse then before. The MMPR Red helmet, specifically the visor, but just overall the helmet doesn't look good at all and nowhere near what the MMPR red helmet is supposed to look like. In addition to that, Dino Thunder White's armor is sculpted incorrectly as the black lines are raised over his shoulder on the toy, but stop halfway on the actual suit. It's just...bad. But, all of these, the worse the line gets, keep getting shifted to "nitpicking" and getting disregarded and the fanbase just keeps consuming mediocre to bad product.

It bugs me that my first team of Power Rangers, where I watched their season live, is part of these inconsistencies.

I am not a power rangers collector. But i do buy pr figures time to time. i am a transformers collector. And I do agree with all of these points. Transformers has the same problems. But there is some benefits like megazords could have joints or cross overs that might happen between transformers and power rangers.

Wait did you paint the White Dino Thunder Ranger

Quality Control is exactly why I won’t buy them online.

I thought long and hard on whether should I get Lighning Collection or the SH Figuarts for my MMPR altar; and after seeing many reviews about the poor quality of LC figures, I happily squandered my savings for the Figuarts.

When I bought the lightning collection morpher I returned maybe less than 2 hours later, just felt a little bit cheap on the morpher itself, another thing the battery compartment didn’t stay closed even after screwing it in, may have just been my copy

@@nine_tails137 Sure, but the point about not buying the PR products is that once people start complaining with their wallets, they will start to fix the issues. We know Hasbro thrived WELL before they acquired power rangers, but with PR, its a HUGE brand thats mostly getting its sales from toys, and since they own the brand and licensing, they have to do something with it --sale toys, etc. And a significant portion of those PR sales come from older fans, which is why they put out so much MMPR stuff. Now hasbro has proven that they can listen to their consumers and fix things. But we still have to be vocal 'financially' about these things for us to be heard.

My Lord Zedd and Goldar are not too bad QC wise, except for some loose joints that make posing on a shelf impossible.

You know lightning collection and power rangers is still a new series for Hasbro. So they still look a bit cheap and sloppy but in the meantime they will improve there sculpt,paint,etc in the future. I mean have you heard of the dark days of Marvel Legends? The figures look horrible and cheap until they progressively improve throughout the years. So if Marvel legends can improve,surely the power rangers toyline ( especially lightning collection) can improve as well. So don't lose hope on this new line for Hasbro.When they still have time to improve.

Have I just been lucky when it comes to paint??? Yeah the morphemes have been kinda off, but the overall paint on the figures suits has been fine! Most problematic thing I experienced was Billy’s glasses missing paint on the lower rim.

Coming from the Transformer collectors side, but man oh man i had no idea how bad it was for you guys on the Ranger side of things.

As a follow on from the consistency point: I'm personally fustrated by Hasbro's lack of commitment to maintaining the promise of something being an "exclusive,'" - both goldar and psycho blue started out as store exclusives only then to be released again, my issue with this, is that it now makes me doubt whenever an exclusive is revealed, whether or not it truely will be "exclusive" or we will see it released again ; "exclusive" being used as a selling point to impulse buy? Also I feel we are going to have so many mmpr re-releases in the lightning collection, realistically mmpr is the only series that crosses over into mainstream and I doubt hasbro is brave enough to release a wave without an mmpr ranger (which is a guranteed sell) so I guess we'll see every variant of the mmpr rangers? season 2+3 cast, movie suits, ninjeti, cowboy rangers, the gliter suits, figures based on the OG toys with their zord on their chest etc... lol Perhaps they could throw in Rocky's zeo weapons with his eventual mmpr red release? (though perhaps we'll see an exclusive pack with all the zeo weapons similar to all the mmpr weapons in the jason SDCC pack maybe?)

There's a leak that Wave 7 will have another MMPR White. Dont know if it is true, but it points to what you are saying and I do expect something like that too.

Hasbro better make Dino Fury set in an alternate universe to avoid contradictions with SPD.

I have a question Bandai company Power Rangers Dino Thunder series Toys are still available in Toy stores...if available Where????

An update about Rocky's Tonphas: apparently Hasbro is releasing them with the single Cog figure coming out. Yeah, you heard that right! Hasbro is making us buy 2 characters, just to complete a weapon set for 1 character! Seriously! What the hell Hasbro?!

Although fixing the problems of the Neo Saban Era in Beast Morphers is a step in the right direction they're still overusing MMPR nostalgia and Go! Go! Power Rangers as the intro, the episode count is still twenty two, they're still adding extra seasons the following year and continuity problems such as being set in the 2020s decade the same decade SPD takes place.

One of my mate actually gaveup collecting Marval figure after Hasbro took over the toy line after Toybiz. He got very frustrated with quality control. It's almost like they downgraded from collectable figure to a cheap toy. IMO, Hasbro mainly tend to be aiming toward young kids, making a cheap toy which can also be collectable rather than a proper piece of art that you can have fun with.

As a Transformers collector, the QC issues aren’t just a Power Ranger problem

really surprised the Lightning Collection didn't start with the full Beast Morphers team, I would buy Roxy.

My complaint with hasbro and the lightning collection line is that they gave Zeo Gold Ranger and Beast Morphers Gold proper gold on them but when we got to Dino Charge Gold, they made him the mustard tan ranger that they used for the gold rangers in Dino Charge, Ninja Steel and The Dino team up. Do they not know what color gold is at all.

Oh yes, I totally miss bodybuilder Rangers, happy meal quality Morphers, Megazords with no articulation and toy distribution that is centered around North America and UK at best.

Lesser of two evils.

I got tired of Bandai's overuse of diecast. It killed Dragonzord. At least in later releases, they learned not to use too much diecast in one particular location, whereas dragonzord's diecast was all in the legs. Now, I gave Hasbro the benefit of the doubt for the megazords because they did get a late start and had to kinda hurry to make them. I am getting their mmpr megazord for the articulation, but this one just seems like they copied 2010 and should not be as budgeted as it looks. Lastly, Hasbro you need to fix that Dino Thunder white ranger before putting it on U.S shelves

Bandai makes better 1:1 scale collector series replicas like the morphers and weapons. But Hasbro made the better helmets IMO.

Unless you have a Legacy Morpher, I wouldn’t recommend it because of it’s TV inaccuracies and poor quality. Many buyers reviews stated within time it didn’t read the coins right as a current reviewer said, “It worked fine for the first hour but after it wasnt used it read all of them as blue for Triceratops, stopped reading them after a bit. I tried replacing the batteries but it didn’t work.” And since you can’t see the morpher through the box, you wouldn’t know how good or bad the paint quality will be as many had problems with that as well. That morpher shouldn’t be worth $50.

It was a massive disappointment when compared to the super sentai release and that stacked with the gutted and shrank rpm megazord just killed my hope. The legacy collection was nice, but it's just them milking the molds from the glory days (when they were at least comparable to the sentai release) and were impossible to find in my area and prices skyrocketed online for them.

Only had the 3 zords not the ultrazord and it's been a while since I've had it, but off the top of my head: individual zords felt inconsistent in quality/design, Dull colors, very flat look to details, No elbows, and the combined form didnt hold together well (Might have been an issue with just mine), and these issues dont often turn me off like that but couldnt look past the price that went along with them. Saw it as an improvement over bandai's recent megazords but not much. Gave it too the neighbors kid and I can say she loves it. I thought the dino megazord was a good compromise of detail and price. Just wish the tip of the t rex tail folded down and think they could've included some stickers at least.

My biggest problem is they are slow to complete Teams, and Silver Ranger sold out in 2 minutes before I even got it my cart!
