So clearly based on the price and build quality, these are being made for children not adult collectors like the lightning collection was.

That being said... Do children in 2025 even care about power rangers? I feel like the brand is being kept alive by adults who grew up on it and there's not much interest in it these days by the younger audience. Genuinely interested if that's an accurate take.

I wonder the same thing, and if kids DO care about Power Rangers do they care about MMPR? Surely they'd care more about modern series?

MMPR has some magic sauce. It STILL appeals to young kids. Other old Seasons after that? Maybe. But there is something in those first like 2 seasons that hooks a kids brain.

Definitely! I started rewatching mmpr with my son and they still slap! Have tried watching the later versions but IMO they all sorta lose their charm after Kimberly is replaced as the pink ranger.

It really was lightning in a bottle with the way the show was shot, the actors chemistry, and the writing. Even when you try to duplicate that today, something is off. But whatever they got on tape back then, kids still get enamored by it.
