under Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

While no one from our staff directly was able to attend this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2016, we were still able to speak directly to Greg Mitchell from Bandai America. We used social media yesterday to ask your questions about anything and everything Power Rangers related and Greg was kind enough to answer each and every single question.

Please click the “Read More” to read the full interview.

If you have follow up questions – please make sure to post them on the discussion thread linked to this news story. Bandai America will be checking the thread throughout the show and sending us follow up answers to your additional questions.

Please note – any and all movie questions are unable to be commented on at this time save for the items revealed in the case this weekend at the show.

UPDATE! We sent a couple of follow up questions and we received answers! They are at the end of the interview below!

In a surprise move we’ve just gotten word from San Diego Comic Con 2016 that Funimation has officially obtained licensing rights for a theatrical release of Shin Godzilla! For western branding purposes the film has been refereed to as Godzilla Resurgence previously.

Opening July 29th in Japan, the brainchild of Hideaki Anno (creator of the prolific Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise) Shin Godzilla sees the largest and possibly most horrific version ever of the iconic monster destroy Japan once again. This bit of licensing news is a huge win for fans who feared there may not be a release of the film in the west. Presumably this theatrical release would be a limited engagement as previous Funimation efforts for Attack on Titan & Dragonball Z films have been.

We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available in the coming weeks!

Hidden behind the awesome looking new The Loyal Subjects Action Vinyl Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Zords from the upcoming Series 2 release were Action Vinyls based on the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. We’ve gone back and shot some images focused on those figures. They sport the classic look from the movie with the emblem on the chest armor.
