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😭😭
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?
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.
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!
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!
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.
@@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
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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👍
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!
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
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.
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.
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 !
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
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.
This seems like a case of “oh we still got some extra goldars in the back ??? Yeah let’s make him a regular release cut his wings off instead of a whole new figure.” CASH GRAB😒😒😒 I’m still gonna get the exclusive since it’s not that hard to find.
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..
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.
Well I don't have to worry about getting this Goldar figure because I already have the GameStop Exclusive Goldar. 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... And also my favorite Mighty Morphin Power Rangers villain is Scorpina.
I think the Gamestop Goldar is an upgrade intentionally. Shiny Gamestop Goldar with wings, Dirty Solo Release Goldar without. I’d switch the swords and effects and there’s your Season 1 and 2 Goldar!
Did pre order this as couldn't get the OG, live in the UK so none of the wave 6 have dropped yet, have had to rely on amazon ebay And other UK based websites for my collection up to 10 so far.
I think Mighty Morphin had tons of great and dorky villains. Of the core villains cast I would say Zedd is my favorite because I always thought he was actually kind of scary. Of the monster of the week type villains I would have to go for Pudgy Pig.
Well after watching Zyuranger Griffonzor/Goldar didn't get the wings until Lamy/Scorpina showed up. Oddly was like he was excited to see her. Believe me you gotta see how they act in the sentai together. No wonder they had a kid together in that. On Fav villains. Well have to work will mention some of the sentai names. For Zyuranger/mmpr 1 Dora Sphinx Dora Circe/ Pudgy Pig Lamy/Scorpina Dora Frank/ Frankenstein Satan Frank Dairanger / mmpr 2 Lipstick Songstress Chief Tombstone General Kamikaze Master Phone General Cactus Cotpotros/ z putties (look those guys up.) Kakuranger/ mmpr3 & Alien Ranger Noble Junior / Rito 9 tail Kitsune/ Kat monster form Gakitsuki/Big Mouth (forget actual name) Dorodoros/ blue putties
@@MCUcollector24 ah see that good old thing of, available for others who didn't want to buy zed twice. I feel it might be the same argument with goldar too.
I had every intention of getting this figure when it was announced. About a week ago I came across it in store, and did an immediate out loud WTF? I couldn't see any difference in this as opposed to the Gamestop one I already had other than the sword which was easily noticeable. 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.
@@mutaa7756 I never got my $5 down payment although I feel if I contacted corporate they should have my info since they entered my order into their system
when i first saw the goldar exclusive from gamestop, i was like omg that figure is so sick, but when i saw it on live was like meh... i got mine on sale for aprox 6.90 dlls its 150 MXN pesos, and i did a custom that i share on a toy group on face and all the people there was telling me that this is really how goldar should looks, not that crappy version of hasbro! anyway awesome review and i think i'll wait for other sale again to get it just for the sword jaja
I literally just got back into collecting always been a big PR fan but any advice to help me get the harder figures out of the waves such as any apps or forums to know what is releasing where
I prefer the GameStop exclusive goldar it's not perfect but I like how it looks and I'm happy with it but in all honesty I don't know why they redo goldar again to me it makes no sense
