Pint Size Heroes
"Collect them all" are dangerous words to a collector, and the recent rise in blind-bagged toys has only served to make collecting more exciting/frustrating/mysterious/all of the above. Funko's newest venture into this territory is Pint Size Heroes - 1.5" sized figurines stylised in a similar way to their larger Dorbz line. The range already includes the likes of Five Nights at Freddy's and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, and now Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will be joining them. The best thing about this range is that it doesn't just include the standard rangers - it also features helmetless variants, Alpha 5 and villains such as Rita, Goldar, Lord Zedd, Finister and Putties! I foresee this being a huge money-sink for me in the near future, as not only do I completely get sucked in by blind bags but the figures look great too.
Metals Die-Cast
The newest kid on the block is Jada's Metals Die-Cast range, 4" figures done up with their own unique stylisation. Just to show Power Rangers will be truly taking over this year Metals Die-Cast will also be adding the original Mighty Morphin suits to their line-up, right now consisting of the first six rangers (although I have no doubt that a White Ranger will eventually follow). In addition to their weightiness, the cool thing about these was that they're all wielding their unique weapons as well. These will be hitting stores in the next few months.
And that about covers Power Rangers releases from Underground/Funko! Of course there was far far more on display as well, but if you wanted a full run down of everything I could honestly be here forever writing it out. Basically if you're a Funko fan, a Power Rangers collector or both it's a pretty exciting time with all these releases either happening now or just on the horizon. A big thank you to Underground Toys for being so welcoming at Toy Fair too - as a first timer it was a lot to take it and you were all extremely helpful!
