It is probably safe to say that most people are here on this site because at some point in their childhood they watched Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. Well that phenomenon celebrates it’s 20th anniversary this year, and you can feel the jubilation at Bandai America’s display at San Diego Comic-Con.

It looks as though a lot of product is coming our way to celebrate the occasion including the release some popular Megazords, Mighty Morphin Mask sets (similar to the Super Sentai Mask sets from Japan), a Collector Edition Power Morpher belt, and a Mighty Morphin Red Ranger figure were all on display.

Also included are images of the SDCC Exclusive 6 figure Super Samurai set! All items have a 2013 date attached to them (except for the SDCC set which is of course, available for purchase at SDCC right now).
