One thing that I love about Hasbro's line of Power Rangers action figures is that they regularly include villains in the line, with about one per wave, and a few scattered out as exclusives! Bandai's Legacy collection never really gave us villains aside from a con exclusive Drakkon, and a couple of the Psychos, so for Hasbro to spoil us with so many foes is awesome! It is good to have some enemies on the shelf for the Rangers to face off against, but there are of course still more I want to see made with around 27 years worth of Power Rangers to pull from! So here are the top 5 Power Rangers villains I want in the Lightning Collection.

5. Ranger Slayer
We recently got Lord Drakkon in the line meaning that the comics are fair game too, and if so I would love a Ranger Slayer! The evil version of Kimberly looks awesome with her half cape, and darkened color pallet, and would look perfect alongside the new Drakkon figure!

4. Mesogog
The villain from Dino Thunder has strong personal ties to me as that show was the one I watched most as a child. Mesogog was a frightening, powerful foe that exudes energy of the exact opposite of goofier villains from the other seasons. Also visually, he would make for an astounding figure given his monstrous appearance, just like figures we've received already like Goldar and Zedd.

3. Psychos
Very quickly we've gotten two of the Psycho rangers, but I really want the remaining three to finish out the In Space collection of Psychos! They were an absolute delight in the later part of the show to have around, not to mention their awesome costumes and weapons that possibly make them the coolest looking Ranger unit ever. Black, Pink, and Yellow cannot come soon enough!

2. Rita Repulsa
Literally the most famous Power Rangers villain of all time, and the first ever big bad that the Rangers faced off against. Rita is a stable of the franchise and a long lasting foe popular enough to be the main villain in the 2017 live action film. When they make her figure, I would like the head sculpt of her later actress though, from season 3 of Mighty Morphin onward since that's when I really got into the character.

1. Astronema and Ecliptor
In Space is definitely one of my favorite Power Rangers shows and that is in no small part thanks to the villains of the series. I've already mentioned the Psychos, but I also loved Astronema and Ecliptor as the villainous duo of the show! Ecliptor's frequent turns from good to bad in order to aid Astronema made him more than just an evil lackey, while also looking like an awesome robot. Astronema herself was an incredible villain given a really intriguing story line of being the lost sister of the red ranger, Andros. Her inner battles with her evil nature gave her a lot of development, and her constant wig changes provide a lot of looks for her potential action figure. I think I would go for the blue/purple look she had several times throughout the season; that was my favorite.
