Four new Power Rangers action figures have been revealed by Hasbro as part of the limited Lightning Collection. The popular toy and TV franchise, which began in the early 1990s with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, has continued to be one of the most beloved brands among both young fans and seasoned collectors. The latest entry in the TV series, Power Rangers Dino Fury, began airing on Nickelodeon in February.

Over the years, many different actors and characters have stepped into the iconic, brightly colored Power Ranger suits to do battle with the forces of evil. The colors, abilities, and designs of the suits themselves have constantly changed, and that evolution is undeniably part of the franchise’s long-lasting appeal. Beyond the toy store and the TV screen, Power Rangers has also made its mark in the worlds of comics, books, video games, and feature films.

A new series of limited-edition Power Rangers action figures has been revealed by Hasbro, including four classic Rangers. The Lightning Collection includes variants of Rocky DeSantos’ Red Ranger, Aisha Campbell’s Yellow Ranger, Adam Park’s Black Ranger, and Billy Cranston’s Blue Ranger, each with a sleek metallic design and a number of accessories. The figures will be available for preorder on Hasbro Pulse later today, April 9, at 2:00pm PT / 5:00pm ET. Each figure retails for $24.99. The Lightning Collection releases on October 1. See the figures below.

With Power Rangers Dino Fury delivering the franchise’s 28th TV season and a Power Rangers shared universe on the way, the franchise shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. The longevity of Power Rangers has spawned a generation of adult fans who grew up with the original series, in addition to the young viewers currently discovering Haim Saban’s world for the first time. The Lightning Collection figures harken back to the franchise’s earlier days, taking inspiration from some of the most beloved versions of the Red, Blue, Yellow and Black Rangers.

Though the 2017 Power Rangers film failed to kickstart a new theatrical run for the franchise, there have been rumors of new feature film projects on the horizon. A 2020 report claimed that Bryan Edward Hill had been brought on to write a new live-action reboot, which would see a new cast supplant that of the 2017 movie. Other rumors suggest the new film could involve time travel as a way of paying homage to the franchise’s 1990s origins. The Power Rangers Lightning Collection figures go up for preorder at 2:00pm PT / 5:00 ET on April 9, and officially release on October 1, retailing at $24.99 apiece.
