The Power Rangers HyperForce are making their return in comic book form via BOOM! Studios with Melissa Flores (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Radiant Pink, The Dead Lucky) and Meghan Camarena (Radiant Pink) helming the writing duties.  The artist on board is Federico Sabbatini (Moon Knight, The Dead Lucky).

The Power Rangers HyperForce return and scour the multiverse in search of allies after Mistress Vile (formerly Rita Repulsa) and Dark Specter invade the Morphin Grid.  The HyperForce Rangers will be pushed to their limits.

The comic is scheduled to release July 19th, 2023.

Power Rangers HyperForce was a live-show tabletop RPG that aired on Twitch.tv and officially sanctioned by Saban Brands.  It starred fan-favorite Power Rangers actors Peter Sudarso (Red Ranger), Paul Schrier (Yellow Ranger), and Yoshi Sudarso (Silver and Green Rangers), reality star Meghan Camarena (Pink Ranger), voice actress Christina Vee (Black Ranger), and YouTube personality Andre Meadows (Blue Ranger).  It aired weekly and fans had a chance to interact via Twitch to give the Rangers extra powers and abilities.  It guest-starred numerous fan-favorite actors and personalities like Jason David Frank, Erin Cahill, Kyle Higgins, Melissa Flores, Jason Bischoff, Mike Ginn, and more.

The Lightning Collection ReMastered lineup continues for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures.  Up for pre-order today are Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger, and Mighty Morphin Green Ranger.  The full details of each figure as as follows:

  • Mighty Morphin Red Ranger
    • Comes with Dragon Shield, gold arm bands, Blade Blaster in all three forms, Power Sword, morpher, swappable hands, energy effects
    • NO civilian head
    • (solicitations state that only 2 versions of the Blade Blaster)
  • Mighty Morphin Green Ranger
    • Comes with Dragon Dagger, Blade Blaster in at least 2 forms (blaster, sword), morpher, green candle, morpher, swappable hands, civilian head
  • Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger
    • Comes with Power Bow, Blade Blaster in all three forms, morpher, swappable hands, civilian head

As a quick editorial note – very disappointed that the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger does not come with his arm bands or shield – you have to buy the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger to get those items to complete the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger.  This looks to be 100% a marketing ploy as the sculpt/figure have long passed any type of exclusivity window for a retailer.

Pre-order these figures – as well as Mighty Morphin Blue and Mighty Morphin Yellow – from our site sponsors below!

ARMORED RED RANGER – Tokullectibles – BigBadToyStore
GREEN RANGER – Tokullectibles – BigBadToyStore
PINK RANGER – Tokullectibles – BigBadToyStore

The new pre-orders drop December 1st, 2023.  Blue and Yellow are already available at select retailers.  No information for ordering yet for Mighty Morphin Black Ranger.

Arguably the most anticipated special of all time for the Power Rangers brand will release tomorrow, April 19th 2023, for the entire world with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always, a special near-hour-long  30th anniversary celebration of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.  With special thanks to eOne, Hasbro, and Netflix, we were granted an opportunity to review the special early to provide our fellow fans with our thoughts and overall review.  The following is our non-spoiler review where we will talk about certain parts but without spoiling any specific details or story elements.

Obviously the best way to enjoy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always is to go in 100% blind, so please only continue if you don’t mind having the most basic of elements (ie: “was this good/bad, etc.”) notated.

The Hasbro PR teams just sent through an update on packaging changes for multiple collector level brands, including Power Rangers Lightning Collection. Window packaging using more sustainable plastics will be returning to the line starting in late 2023. What do you guys think, let us know on the forums and social!

We wanted to share an update on packaging for Hasbro’s 6-inch-scale figures. Based on your feedback, we will be re-introducing windows and blisters to our 6-inch fan figures beginning later this year, into 2024 for select products across our portfolio of brands, including, G.I. Joe Classified, Power Rangers Lightning Collection, Star Wars Black Series and Marvel Legends. This will eventually expand to all new 6-inch figure releases.

The new windows and blisters will be made from bio PET or recycled PET helping us achieve our priority of meeting our fans’ expectations for extraordinary packaging and superior design while still developing packaging that minimizes waste and the use of virgin plastic.

Thank you again for being one of our biggest fans and for your continued support of Hasbro.
