Wave 12 for the lightning collection has been fully revealed for the Power Rangers line. Fans have been waiting to find out what the next wave of figures would be, with many able to find out what would likely be released next. The new wave features rangers from seasons such as Wild Force, Dino Thunder, and Lost Galaxy, along with a Mighty Morphin Black Ranger figure that comes with a new head for Adam and an exclusive accessory. Images of all 4 figures are now able to show fans the first look at the wave.
Hasbro started the Lightning Collection series in 2018, which has featured Rangers from various seasons. The releases have mostly included 6-inch figures but have also added Ranger helmets and cosplay weapons as part of the line. The most recent include Blue Ranger’s helmet and Power Lance. Fans of the franchise have slowly been collecting the Rangers, allies, and various villains of different seasons but the desire remains for full sets of Ranger teams. Currently, there have only been a select few seasons that have a complete team, which includes the following.
- Mighty Morphin (Including Metallic Armour and 2nd Generation)
- Ninja Rangers (MMPR season 3)
- Zeo
- Space
- Psycho Rangers
- Power Rangers X TMNT
Power Rangers Lightning Collection Wave 12
Each Ranger has been revealed over time, but full images of the release had yet to surface. With the wave finally confirmed, we can now see images of the four Rangers in the wave, which include Wild Force Blue, Dino Thunder Yellow, Lost Galaxy Green, and Adam as Mighty Morphin Black. Weapons and head sculptures for the Rangers have been revealed, including a special extinguisher weapon for Adam. Here are the images of the Rangers figures featured in wave 12 of the Lightning Collection, including images revealing the Yellow and Blue Rangers on Social Media.

It’s fantastic to finally get Dino Thunder Yellow and Lost Galaxy Green as both seasons certainly need more Rangers to complete the team. This means that Dino Thunder is almost complete, with only Tommy Oliver as the Dino Thunder Black as the remaining member.
All the boys from Lost Galaxy are also now accounted for in the collection, with Yellow and Pink remaining. Wild Force Blue is a favorite among many fans, with the Shark Ranger joining Silver Ranger, Merrick, to represent the Wild Force team with two figures. The likeness of the actors is very close and it’s great that we get fantastic head sculpts with these iconic Rangers throughout time.
It’s great that Adam is being released with a new helmet and a cluster of weapons, but most fans won’t be happy to have another MMPR Ranger released. If anything, it would have been better to change details for the Ranger, including adding an interchangeable belt buckle. This is due to Adam also gaining the Frog Power Coin in the 3rd season of the show. It’s also a shame that the Power Axe isn’t included for those who don’t have the Black Ranger yet.
Many were hoping the Ranger would come with the Transtek Armor seen in Operation Overdrive, used by the Ranger in the crossover episode special, but hopefully, this edition will come with a future release of the Operation Overdrive Rangers. However, at least there are some variations in the contained pack that may tempt fans.
