Top 5 most wanted Power Rangers from established shows in Hasbro's Lightning Collection
Hasbro's line of Power Rangers fgures have been absolutely fantastic from day one of release! The first year of products have given us quite the load of figures, and truly shows that the line is venturing through all corners of the Power Rangers franchise instead of taking one show at a time. This gives the potential for any show to be represented at any given time, but for this list I'll be focusing in on the shows that have already been represented in the line. This includes Mighty Morphin, Lost Galaxy, In Space, Beast Morphers, Zeo, Dino Charge, and SPD. So which characters from these shows am I anticipating to be made hopefully soon? Here are my top five!

5. Lord Drakkon
This is technically a Mighty Morphin character, though one that appears in the comics rather than the tv show. It is an alternate universe version of Tommy who went evil, and started to wear a really awesome suit of armor to go along with his villainous turn! The white and green go great together as a combination of his two colors from the original show, and I would love to get a figure of this Tommy! Bandai produced one for their Legacy line but as a hard to get SDCC exclusive, so a more obtainable version would be great.

4. More female characters
This is a bit of a broad section, but one I think needs to be addressed. Others out there are already discussing this with Hasbro who has made comments on the matter, but the line only has one sole female character so far through all the figures released thus far! Female rangers are a core part of the Power Rangers franchise and are constantly there in each iteration making up nearly half the team most of the time! Characters like Katherine, Rita Repulsa, Shelby, and the yellow and pink Psycho rangers deserve their due in the line just as much as the male characters.

3. Psycho Rangers
Speaking of Psycho rangers, Hasbro hit us really hard with the blue and red Psychos nearly at the same time! This momentum shouldn't stop at all and the three other on show members of the team hopefully come sooner rather than later! The black Psycho would be the easiest to accomplish, being basically repaints as the blue Psycho was of the Red Psycho. (The same would go for the green and silver Psychos if Hasbro decides to do them now too). The pink and yellow Psychos I've already mentioned, so now there are two slots in this list they fit into.

2. Rocky, Kat, and Adam
By the end of Mighty Morphin, the team was starting to look very different and we got a cast of characters that we followed for the next couple of shows! Rocky, Kat, and Adam were all additions to the team later in the show, and while they could be done in their Mighty Morphin appearances I would prefer their Zeo outfits to differentiate them better, and further fill out the Zeo team for which we only have Jason at the moment. I really enjoyed all three of their roles in the show, and thought they were good additions to replace the original team members; even if they didn't quite live up to the legacy that Zach, Jason, and Kimberly have left behind.

1. Trini and Billy
Going along with the theme of finishing teams like the Psychos; there is one team that we're very close to finishing and probably will finish very soon! Mighty Morphin is the original and most popular iteration of the Power Rangers, and already we've gotten both versions of Tommy, Kimberly, Jason, and Zach. All that is left from the original six are Trini and Billy, who hopefully will arrive to finish the team soon enough. Trini would be another much welcomed female character into the line, while Billy would add another splash of blue that so far the Psycho blue is the only representative of.
