The Power Rangers toy line continues to expand, but one of the brand’s most popular toy lines is the Legacy series, and now fans can see what is planned for a future wave.

The Legacy line of figures is a way for Bandai and Saban to feature their past seasons in a highly articulated toy line, and thus far it has included Rangers from Mighty Morphin, In Space, Ninja Storm, and more. Upcoming waves will bring more In Space, Mighty Morphin, Dino Thunder, and Zeo Rangers to the line, but evidently, Ninja Steel is also being included sooner rather than later.
GrnRngr.com got ahold of some design sketches of a future line of Legacy figures (via Tokunation), and the set features a heavy dose of Power Rangers Ninja Steel. That’s a bit surprising, as other spots in this line are typically reserved for older seasons, and Ninja Steel is currently airing. It only makes sense if the wave is being developed for release during Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, which airs next year, but even then it is still a rather quick turnaround.
As you can see in the image below, the wave consists of the Ninja Steel Red Ranger, the Ninja Steel Yellow Ranger, the Ninja Steel Pink Ranger, the Ninja Steel White Ranger, and the In Space Silver Ranger. These figures will be part of the 6.5 inch line and look pretty slick, questionable season choice aside.
No word on when these are going to be released, but it probably won’t be for awhile, as Bandai America is still a bit backed up with other announced waves. Later this year fans will get the first wave of Dino Thunder Legacy figures, which will debut alongside the Zeo Legacy figures. After that wave comes the anticipated Psycho Rangers wave of Legacy figures, which currently has no release date.

Super Ninja Steel Figures
Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel will usher in a plethora of new 5 inch figures next spring, including new modes, villains, and more.
First up are re-releases of the Red, Blue, Yellow, and Gold Ninja Steel Rangers, which are somewhat scarce in stores at the moment. After that fans can get their hands on a brand figures with the new Megazordย cockpit armor (via Power Rangers NOW). You can see this in the Red, Blue, and Gold Ranger figures in the image below, There isย more silver and black in these suits compared to the original costumes, and each one wields a gold weapon.
Up next is the new Lion Fire Mode armor, which you can see in the Blue and Gold Ranger below. This mode is activated through the Rangers harnessing the power of their lion armor, and as you can see features a heavier dose of red all throughout. The helmets have also received redesigns, though the visors remain intact.
The Rangers will of course be joined by several monsters and villains, including their nemesis Galvanax.
While they aren’t shown here, Bandai recently released a statement clarifying that female Rangers remain an important part of their toy lines, so expect to see the White and Pink Rangers joining these later next year.
