While I do agree with the sentiment that the overall quality of Power Rangers took a big dip during the New Saban era seasons, I still enjoyed Power Rangers which is pure wackiness at its core. While the rangers or the stories and villains may not have been as compelling as past seasons, I don't think these seasons deserve to be ignored by Hasbro's Lightning Collection and we've already seen a dive into this era with a few Dino Charge figures in the line! So with hopefully years of Lightning Collection figures to come, here is my wishlist for my most wanted rangers from each New Saban era show!

Most wanted Hasbro Lightning Collection Power Rangers from each Disney era show
Samurai/Super Samurai: Antonio
Since each show and their "super" sequel are essentially the same overall show, I will not be separating them into two different slots and instead I will be talking about one ranger from both shows. From Samurai, while a lot of the acting abilities turned me off from a few of the rangers, I did find myself amused and liking the performance of the show boat Antonio. His status as a sixth ranger and a gold ranger makes him already predisposed to being a fan favorite, and his comedic attitude was great to watch throughout the season, especially his fear of fish after being turned into one.

Mega Force/Super Mega Force: Noah
The thrill of seeing so many classic rangers and ranger uniforms as well as locations could very well overshadow all of the Mega Force rangers from these two seasons, and I do feel like the show didn't develop this group as well as they could've. One character I did really enjoy who went through a lot of development throughout the show was Noah, the blue ranger. He went from a physically weak, meek nerd to a confident, powerful ranger who had several great focused episodes. Plus I do really like the look of the Mega Force suits!

Dino Charge/Dino Super Charge: Shelby
This was the first show since RPM that I truly enjoyed, so much so that I'm really glad that Hasbro have already delved into this season a fair bit. I like the story of the season, the villains they were put up against, and the rangers themselves were a great cast of characters! I love Tyler and right after him my favorite is Shelby, who I really hope is coming soon in the line! While other characters from the show might be easier to do like Riley or Philip since they can reuse the same sculpt used for Tyler and Chase, I hope that doesn't make Shelby less likely to be made soon.

Ninja Steel/Super Ninja Steel: Levi
Hasbro's Lightning Collection has shown already that they have a proclivity for sixth and extra rangers, with releases like Zeo Gold, Dino Charge Gold, Dino Thunder White, MMRP Green and so on. I hope that continues when they get to Ninja Steel because the gold ranger from that show, Levi, is the one I'd like to see made from that show. Sixth rangers are just awesome, and I like his cowboy attitude as well as the overall designs of their suits, especially Levi's as it incorporated his cowboy motif! Plus, extra points if his unmasked headsculpt comes with a cowboy hat.
