POWER RANGERS & THE SIXTH SCALE
Power Rangers is the most improbable empire in children's television: an American show built by splicing new teenagers into old Japanese battle footage, launched on a budget of almost nothing, and somehow still on the air three decades later. It is also the youngest catalogue in this Archive's top ten, because sixth scale ignored it for nearly thirty years and is now making up for lost time at full sprint.
Fair warning: this is a love letter. The dates are sourced and the numbers are ours, and yes, at some point the prose is going to say it. You know exactly what it is going to say.
TEENAGERS WITH ATTITUDE
Haim Saban spent the better part of a decade pitching an idea every American network called ridiculous: take Japan's long-running Super Sentai series, keep the spectacular suited battle footage, and film new scenes with American teenagers to wrap around it. Fox Kids finally bit, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers premiered in August 1993. The economics were held together with tape. The result was the biggest thing on children's television within weeks.
That Christmas, Power Rangers toys became a national shortage story, with parents mobbing shelves for anything in spandex. The show made its budget back a thousandfold in merchandise, which is fitting for a program that was, at heart, a machine for making Japanese toy design conquer the western world. This Archive is, in its way, a late chapter of that same story.
THE DRAGONZORD ARC
Every franchise has its lightning-strike moment, and Power Rangers found it early: a five-episode arc about an evil Green Ranger sent to destroy the team. Tommy Oliver was supposed to be temporary. The audience had other plans. The heel-turn, the redemption, the dagger-flute summoning a mechanical dragon from the sea: it remains the most beloved storyline in the franchise's history, and it turned a guest role into the spine of the entire series.
Tommy went on to wear the White Ranger's armor, lead multiple teams, and return for anniversary after anniversary. The comics eventually asked the question fans had whispered for years, what if Tommy had never turned good, and answered it with Lord Drakkon, an evil timeline's Tommy in white and green. One man, three legends, and this Archive holds all of them.
THIRTY YEARS OF MORPHIN
The franchise's survival trick is seasonal regeneration: nearly every year a new Sentai series provides new suits, new machines and a new theme, and Power Rangers rebuilds itself around them. Zeo, Turbo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Wild Force, Ninja Storm: the roll call runs past thirty seasons, one of the longest continuous runs in television. Children who watched in 1993 now watch with their own children, which the 2023 reunion special understood perfectly by simply putting the original cast back in the suits.
Hasbro took stewardship of the franchise in 2018, and the property that began as recycled footage now spans comics, films, and a collector market its creators could never have budgeted for. The morphin grid, whatever it is, clearly holds.
THE HELMETS HAVE NO NAMES
Like Star Wars before it, this franchise files its heroes by uniform: no character page here bears a civilian name. The Red Ranger leads at five figures, with Green, White, Black and Pink close behind, and the roster runs through Quantum, Turbo and Gold. The helmet is the character, which is exactly how the show itself always worked: the suit actor and the unmasked actor were often on different continents.
But count carefully and a familiar ghost emerges. Add the Green Ranger to the White, then add Lord Drakkon's two entries, and Tommy Oliver quietly outnumbers every single color on the board with eight figures across his three identities. Thirty years later, the temporary guest star is still the most collected human in the franchise, and most of his figures never show his face.
A PHOTO FINISH
The catalogue's maker race is the closest in the entire Archive: ThreeZero, holder of the official licence, sits at twenty-eight entries, and SooSooToys, patron studio of the coded alternative, sits at twenty-seven. One figure apart, licensed against unlicensed, both building the same teams in parallel with Toys Battalion adding eight more from the shadows. Nowhere else on this site do the official and the unofficial run this evenly matched.
And the whole race started five minutes ago: the earliest Power Rangers figure in these records is ThreeZero's 2020 Green Ranger. Everything here is younger than the pandemic, the deep seasons are already represented, Zeo through Ninja Storm, and nineteen entries are preorders dated 2027 and beyond. Nearly a third of this franchise's catalogue has not shipped yet. That is not a library; that is a launch window.
POWER RANGERS IN THE ARCHIVE
All told: 63 Power Rangers figures from three manufacturers, all of it since 2020, with the calendar full through 2027. It is the Archive's youngest major catalogue and its fastest-growing suit collection, thirty years of television compressed into a five-year collecting boom that shows no sign of powering down.
The show taught a generation that five ordinary teenagers in matching helmets could hold the line, and the shelves are now teaching it again in diecast and tailored spandex. The Archive keeps the roster, color by color, timeline by timeline. It's morphin time. It was always going to be.
