Power Rangers - ASTRONEMA (V2)!

Power Ranger Lightning Collection - In Space Ecliptor & Astronema - Hasbro 2022

Astronema is one of those characters that everyone seems to love but that I have never seen on screen. My first exposure to her was her blue-haired figure from two years ago. I taught myself a little about her at the time, and this time around I learned a little more. Karone was a young girl from Planet KO-35. She and her brother Andros (future Red Ranger) dreamed of being Power Rangers, but Karona was kidnapped and raised by Ecliptor to be evil. As an adult, she became Astronema, a major Antagonist in the In Space and Lost Galaxy seasons. At one point her brainwashing became undone and she became the second Galaxy Ranger Pink. Only to adopt the Astronema identity again to infiltrate the bad guys. I'm not sure which iteration of Astronema this lavender-haired figure represents, but she is known for sporting a wide variety of hair colors and styles. I wonder if this will be the last... I could so with at least one more for a punky trifecta.  Let's check out Astronema (v2) below!


























Astronema comes all the accessories that her 2020 figure came with: Her signature Wrath Staff, a purple energy effect (the 2020 piece was more pink), a pair of alternate fisted hands, and a boomerang weapon that can mount to a peg on her right thigh.


























Here is her pack-mate Ecliptor and all he comes with.











Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here is Astronema with her blue-haired version from 2020.






And here she is with Ecliptor.






Cheers!
