Ninjetti tease is awesome.
I’ll get Eye Guy. Shame we’re not getting two for a set. I hope these aren’t already going away. Baboo, Finster, Squatt, Minotaur, Pudgy Pig, Knasty Knight, feels like a bunch I would definitely buy. I don’t feel like all of those can necessarily be scaled down to fit the normal $20 line.

So it's likely he's the second monster in that set, they have an entire month of reveals for 'Power Month' in August coming up, so I bet we see it then.

Eye Guy looks really good. 2 females in wave 10. Slippery Shark is going to be good, need a few my niece and nephew are obsessed with sharks. From the 2nd wave of monsters coming in April or May seems like a long time of a wait unless there's going to be some coming out in the fall. Plus we still have the rumored Pirantishead to come.

Pirantishead, the first Lord Zedd monster, got leaked with Eye Guy awhile ago, so I definitely expect to see him over Slippery Shark unless plans changed. I'd personally love to see Pudgy Pig and Madame Woe after that. Ahhhh so nice to have him confirmed. As good as the mold and main eyes are, unfortunately he suffers the same fate that Pumpkin Rapper and King Sphinx did: inconsistent detailing. The smaller pupils aren't fully painted, and some of them outright have no coloring at all. These are premium-priced similarly to Ultimate Editions, so that's a bummer. I do love the sculpting on him, though. The main eye being glossy see-thru plastic was a good move; ditto for the cool eyeball stand accessory. Having a closable eyelid is a nice touch, too. Looks like it ships out at the beginning of next year.

Pudgy Pig looks awesome, very excited for that.
My only complaint is that it seems like inside the lunchbox (which is cool) there isn't a regular Lightning Collection box which bothers me slightly cause I have saved every lightning figure box so far, oh well.

I wonder if they do a mass release on him in normal packaging? Seems like they could. Definitely trying to get him, though. Pretty awesome.

this showed up today from Pulse, originally was slated for 10/1 or 11/1, but got moved up. Can't open and display until my birthday though!

Pudgy Pig costing $57.99 is such a bummer. It’s a great sculpt and the accessories are fun, but really? That much for lunchbox packaging? And you don’t even include a sub or a table to display everything? I would’ve (reluctantly) ordered it at $45, but now I’m not so sure I want to get it at all. I hate having to give in to ridiculous prices anymore.

since Target is doing a massive clearance I figured I'd check on Pumpkin Rapper & King Sphinx which are easily found at basically every Target everywhere....but i've yet to see clearance stickers on them
Pumpkin Rapper scanned at the price check for $21.49, Sphinx scanned at $26.99 Pumpkin rang up at the register for $16.99, Sphinx rang up $29.99
Really weird. Hopefully they drop the price of Sphinx soon

I agree. $57.99 for Pudgy Pig is OUTRAGEOUS. I'm really angry about it because that's one of my favorite monsters from Power Rangers/Zyurangers and it should have gotten a mass retail release and it should have been $29.99!
They've taken shady tactics with almost ALL of this shows important characters.
- MMPR Green first release was a GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE 2 pack with Putty. Single release wasn't until like over a year later.
- Goldar? The first figure was GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE....mass retail release wasn't for over a year after.
- Rita? In a GAMESTOP EXCLUSIVE 2 pack with Zedd a year after we already paid for a single release Zedd.
- Scorpina? In a 2 pack with another Yellow MMPR.
- Pink Zeo? Forced to buy a GAMESTOP/HASBRO PULSE EXCLUSIVE 2 pack with another MMPR Pink after you already bought the rest of the ZEO team single carded.
I just wish they'd stop screwing around and just release the characters normally. The demand is already there. The people WANT the figures. Exclusives and 2 packs being the only way to get certain characters is just making it difficult. It's not like we are asking for obscure characters that might not sell....
Very displeased with this Pudgy Pig news. Looks like I'll be sticking with the original figure, which is still a fantastic figure, even next to the Lightning figures.

Agreed and while not quite the same category, I'm still waiting on Red with Dragon Shield to be released at least as a more easily accessible exclusive like the Black with Dragon Shield.

I mean, it’s clearly a way to get more money. Hasbro is a business.

I’ll also be passing and would have bought at $45. Oh well. Hopefully they do a single release.

For me, this line turned from "eh i just want Zedd and Red Ranger" to
"well im just gonna get all the main Rangers, plus Zedd and Rita" to
"Well I gotta get some of the villains now, oh and also Ranger Slayer, Lord Drakkon, White Ranger"
I'm legit full blown in on the MMPR Lightning Collection

Trying to stay there, but it's hard.
