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.

We’re at this year’s New York Comic Con! The convention scene is back, although a bit muted with the United States just coming down from a pandemic-high late summer/early fall. Because of such, vendors didn’t bring their A game (and some didn’t bring a game at all).
Diamond Select Toys has their upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legends Red Ranger NYCC Exclusive Bust on display. We took a couple of images and you can see them in the story.
You can pre-order it via BigBadToyStore here.
Check it out!
The Wal-Mart exclusive Power Rangers Retro line is getting some new additions! Revealed today via HasbroPulse, we have our first look at:
These figures feature limited articulation and are 7 inches in height. They are being packaged in exclusive VHS-style packaging to harken back to the days of VHS … if you don’t know what that is then it’s time for me to retire.
These are available at Walmart.com and HasbroPulse.com. (Pre-Order links below)
After being discovered in a store listing back in July, we have our first look at the upcoming Power Rangers Lightning Collection In Space Silver Ranger figure.
The figure includes his signature Silverizer weapon in both sword and gun modes as well as a very 90’s Zhane civilian head. The paint on the figure looks to be a glossy silver which will make any and all Silver Ranger fans, of any series, incredibly excited for future Silver Ranger releases.
No release details are available at this time as Hasbro has yet to officially announce this figure.
Hasbro has announced two more figures for the fan-favorite Power Rangers Lightning Collection action figure series!
Continuing the iconic Mighty Morphin Ninja Ranger lineup is Ninja Pink Ranger & Ninja White Ranger! Each figure comes with alternate heads and an assortment of effect parts.
Both Ninja Pink & Ninja White will be exclusive to TARGET stores! Release is currently scheduled for April 2022.
We don’t like posting spoilers as news but this is something that absolutely needs celebration now and when it finally airs around the world.
In an episode of Power Rangers Dino Fury – which is airing new episodes in France – the Green Ranger (Izzy Garcia) is revealed to be in a relationship with a young woman named Fern. Fans of Power Rangers know that the first “official” LGBTQ representation was in the 2017 Power Rangers movie. The character Trini, played by Becky G, was implied as being LGBTQ but never truly outright stated in the movie (the director and cast would embrace the implication as such however). There is no doubt left in the viewer’s mind after watching the episode of Power Rangers Dino Fury.
This is a huge moment in Power Rangers because the television show has notoriously skirted the issue of LGBTQ representation. Caleb Bendit, who played the comedy character Monty in Power Rangers Ninja Steel, has stated publicly that he would portray his character as having romantic feelings for the character Victor but that he was told to tone it down by show-runners. Even heterosexual relationships have been taboo in Power Rangers, with on-screen kisses being a big no-no (instead, characters showcase affection by holding hands).
Show-runner Simon Bennett has commented on the revelation of Izzy’s sexuality and openly stated that it was all signed off on by writers, producers, Nickelodeon, and Hasbro.
All we can say is – it’s about f-cking time! See the clip below! This episode of Power Rangers Dino Fury (Episode 13, “The Matchmaker” is scheduled to air on September 25th in the United States on Nickelodeon)
