This year was the second annual Hasbro PulseCon and it was one heck of a show!  Hasbro revealed brand new products for all of their major lines – including Power Rangers – and opened the floodgates on pre-orders for all the delicious plastic goodness that we’ve come to know and love.

After PulseCon, we were fortunate enough to be given an interview with John Warden (Design Director) and Jon Firestone (Marketing) from Hasbro’s Power Rangers team.  In our interview we ask about future accessories for figures still missing items in the Lightning Collection, we get intimate details on the Lord Zedd helmet, the decision behind releasing a second In Space Blue Ranger (with Galaxy Glider) so quickly after the first (VS two pack with Psycho Silver), and of course – the inaccuracies in the Lunar Wolf Silver Ranger figure.

They may have implied what can, and will, be fixed on the character before release?  Check out the full interview below!  Thanks again to Hasbro for this opportunity.  Check out tons of great products on HasbroPulse.com.

Threezero are continuing their licensing onslaught with the Power Rangers, kicking things off with a massive FigZero 1/6th scale box set. The set includes all 5 core Rangers along with Tommy aka the Green Ranger. These are available in a collector box that folds open to show them all lined up. Each one will also be available individually of course, but if you want the whole team in one shot, this box set is what to aim for.

Threezero was kind enough to send through a set to review, and we are taking a look across the network. You can check out the Black and Blue Rangers here at TokuNation. The Green and Pink Rangers are available over at PWRRNGR.com. And then to cap it off, check out the Red and Yellow Rangers are over on Toyark.com. The pics of the packaging and fancy hero shots are available at each.

These were due to ship in Q3 2021. As we all know by now, shipping is a mess globally so assume dates are shifting forward. Some folks who bought retail have received individual figures. The rest should be coming soon(ish), same for this box set. Hit your favorite Threezero stockist to grab your copies if you dig em!

On Tuesday, October 12th 2021 it was shared via Hasbro that Brian Goldner, CEO of Hasbro from 2008-2021, had passed away after his battle with prostate cancer.  Just days prior, Brian Goldner had stepped down from his role of CEO to take an indefinite medical leave.  The heavy reality of it all is finally sinking in.

Brian Goldner‘s ties to Power Rangers takes us back to the time period around Power Rangers In Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.  At that time, Brian Goldner worked at Bandai (1997ish).  Those ties to the brand helped lead to Hasbro’s decision to purchase the Power Rangers brand from Saban Brands and Haim Saban in 2018.

Please watch the video below as we remember Brian Goldner, the late CEO of Hasbro.
