Hey Power Rangers fans! As you know, the official Power Rangers convention, Power Morphicon, is wrapping up today in Pasadena, California.

For those who couldn’t attend you missed something frightening! The Moogers, the foot soldiers of Master Xandred in Power Rangers Samurai, invaded the dealer room at Power Morphicon!

Luckily for the attendees, the original White Ranger and 19 of his closest red-clad friends were there to intervene.

Check out the clip, courtesy of Saban Brands, below! Go Go Power Rangers!

Power Morphicon kicks off this weekend, and the first big event is the official unveiling of MegaForce toys!

Display shelves have also confirmed some story/character details:

*Goseigers’ “Brajira” is now known as Vrak
*The Foot Soldiers will be known as Loogies.

At the moment a majority of these toys appear to be near-direct adaptations of Tensou Sentai Goseiger material (with some exceptions including new “Motorcycle Headers”) but exact details regarding differences are not available. Stay tuned for more updates as Morphicon continues!

With our thanks to RangerCast in attendance!
