The Hasbro Power Rangers brand team held a Livestream event this week, revealing new products for the Lightning Collection.
In the 6-inch figure line we will be getting a Deluxe figure of Ecliptor from Power Rangers In Space, complete with sword, lightning effect, and alternative hands. Ecliptor is a general release at all stockists and will be a 2022 release - we will have to wait for the pre-order to go live.
Also incoming in 2022 is the 1:144 scale Zord Ascension Project Dino Megazord we caught a first look at back at Hasbro Pulse Con in October. The Dino Megazord features all five of the classic Zords - T-Rex, Mastodon Triceratops, Sabre Tooth Tiger, and Pterodactyl. Each Zord features removable canopies to see the scaled Power Rangers in each cockpit. The Zords can then combine into the 11.5 inch tall Dino Megazord complete with sword, or into the alternative Tank Mode. There are also five individual poses Power Rangers figurines included with the set.
The 'Zord Ascension Project' or ZAP for short is going to be a premium sub-line of the Lightning Collection and the promo blurb for the Dino Megazord indicate it is the first of more projects with a numbering system in place, and this release listed as MZ-101.
The Dino Megazord will be released on the 1st of August 2022 and has an RRP of $165.99 in the US, £149.99 here in the UK. It can be pre-ordered from Hasbro Pulse, Zavvi, or your specialist retailer of choice.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
