Playmates Toys used New York Comic Con 2026 to put out an 8-inch Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Classic Green Ranger, sold through Alliance Entertainment’s popmarket booth at booth #4415 alongside more than a dozen other con exclusives. The run was capped at 3,000 pieces at a suggested retail price of just $20.
That price point is notably low for a convention exclusive, which is part of why the figure moved quickly once the show floor opened. Secondary-market listings have already appeared asking well above the original $20 retail.
Here is what the figure actually offers at this scale, why the low price did not mean low demand, and a practical look at how to display an 8-inch figure once you have one.
Playmates has spent 2026 building out a broader Power Rangers Collectors line, and this Green Ranger follows the brand’s earlier reveal of a Zeo Gold Ranger as part of that same collector-focused push. The 8-inch Classic Green Ranger is a separate, convention-specific release rather than part of the mainline Collectors assortment.
That distinction matters for anyone trying to track Playmates’ current Power Rangers output: the mainline Collectors line and convention exclusives like this one are running on parallel, not identical, release schedules.
Most of Playmates’ current Power Rangers output sits at either a smaller carded scale or a larger Lightning Collection-adjacent format, so an 8-inch figure is a genuinely distinct size tier rather than a repeat of an existing line’s scale. That makes it awkward to shelve directly next to either format without some visual mismatch.
Collectors who already have an 8-inch-scale shelf from other franchises will find this figure slots in more naturally there than alongside a mainline Power Rangers collection built around a different size.
A $20 suggested retail is unusually accessible for any convention-exclusive figure, let alone one tied to a specific scale and character combination like this. That price, combined with the hard 3,000-piece cap, made the figure one of the faster sellouts among this year’s popmarket NYCC exclusives.
Secondary-market asking prices have already climbed well past the original $20, in some cases exceeding $80, which is a meaningful markup for a figure that was never positioned as a premium-tier release to begin with.
The figure recreates the Classic Green Ranger look from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series, rather than a modernized or alternate-universe redesign. That makes it a straightforward nostalgia play for collectors who grew up with the character’s original run.
For newer collectors who only know the character through later reboots or crossovers, this release is worth knowing specifically as the classic, original-series take on the Green Ranger.
With the figure sold exclusively at NYCC and capped at 3,000 pieces, anyone who did not attend the show is now shopping the secondary market by default. Comparing a few listings before buying is worth the extra few minutes, since asking prices on a figure this recently released can vary significantly seller to seller.
Checking a listing’s photos closely for box condition matters more on a convention exclusive like this one, since packaging damage from the show floor itself is common and affects long-term value for anyone planning to keep it sealed.
Playmates did not release a dedicated protector or display case alongside this figure, and EVORETRO does not carry anything built specifically for this exact release. What we do carry is a general case that genuinely fits the scale: the EVORETRO Acrylic Modular Case, available in sizes up to 12 x 12 x 12 inches, comfortably houses an 8-inch figure with real UV protection.
That is a general-purpose fit rather than a Playmates-specific one, but the dimensions genuinely work, and it is a more honest answer than claiming a false exact match.
Playmates’ mainline Power Rangers Collectors figures, including the earlier Zeo Gold Ranger reveal, generally carry a higher retail price than this $20 convention exclusive. That price gap makes the Green Ranger an outlier within Playmates’ current Power Rangers pricing structure rather than a typical example of it.
Collectors should not expect future convention exclusives in this line to necessarily repeat the same accessible price point, since con-specific pricing can vary release to release depending on scale, licensing costs, and production run size.

No, it is a separate NYCC 2026 convention exclusive.

An 8-inch convention exclusive this scarce deserves a proper display spot rather than sitting in its box indefinitely. The EVORETRO Acrylic Modular Case gives it the room it needs even though it was not built with this specific figure in mind.
If you are planning to display it alongside other 8-inch pieces from different franchises, a tiered riser setup helps keep the whole shelf organized rather than crowded.
