The upcoming independent film from the late Jason David Frank – Legend of the White Dragon – will release this September.  Today, at JoeFest, Bobby Vala – the owner of independent toy company Valaverse – announced an upcoming two-pack of Legend of the White Dragon figures featuring the White Dragon as well as the villain Dragon Prime.

Legend of the White Dragon is a partially crowd-funded independent film from Bat in the Sun and Jason David Frank and tells the story of Erik Reed (Jason David Frank).  Before his passing, Jason David Frank consistently referred to this project as his own love-letter to Power Rangers fans who wanted the brand to be more adult.

Valaverse is owned by Bobby Vala, a professional toy designer best known for his time with Hasbro and G.I. Joe.  Valaverse is best known for the current Action Force product line of 1:12 scale military figures.
