Power Rangers News Announced at HASBRO PULSE-CON 2021

Day 1 of Hasbro Pulse-Con saw a flood of Power Rangers news released!

First up, we watched an interview with the cast of Power Rangers Dino Fury, including show runner Simon Bennett. There was a lot of discussion about the return of Lord Zedd, and we got to see a very short blooper reel. But then we got a tease for Season 2. It was revealed yesterday via deadline.com that Season 2 would be exclusive to Netflix. Today, Simon revealed that Season 2 would bring new power-ups, there will be more developments in the character relationships, Zayto and Aiyon will learn more about what happened to Rafkon, and Zayto gets a new vehicle.

They closed the interview with 2 more reveals. First up, Tessa Rao revealed that Izzy is the first member of the Dino Fury team to join Power Rangers Legacy Wars!

Izzy Garcia is an Epic Attacker with low cost attacks and a scary offense. The mere existence of Athletics Assault in her kit is enough to scare the opponent into not turtling up with defense. Once she’s built up her super, she can use it to extend combos for outstanding damage. Depending on the cards that become available or the assists on the team, she can do some of the more devastating combos in the game. She lacks a counter, but if played just right, she doesn’t need one. She is now available in the game.

This was followed by Russell Curry announcing that Zayto is the first member of Dino Fury to become part of the Lightning Collection!

Lastly, the revealed a new line that will be coming soon called the Zord Ascension Project.

The crackle of unreleased energy. The smell of ozone. The feeling that something big is about to happen… when you know you’re in the calm before the storm. Welcome to Zord Ascension Project, the next evolution of Lightning Collection. Hasbro is bringing their expertise in giant robots, and experience with awesome collector figures, into this never-been-done-before expression of some of the most iconic robots to ever grace the screen.

Why Zord Ascension Project? Because they are figuratively lifting Zords and Megazords up and placing them on the figurative pillar that they deserve, and that fans and collectors can proudly display side-by-side with some of the great models out there. That’s right, these have been created in 1:144 model scale, a completely new scale for Power Rangers figures.

Along with these first-ever Hasbro Power Rangers 1:144 scaled Megazord figures, they’ve created an ultra-premium presentation that will look… morphenomenal… on your shelf and an unboxing experience unlike any other with iconic illustrations by a curated selection of some of the best artists in the world.

  • 1:144 scale, aka model scale; the first time this has ever been done by Hasbro with Power Rangers figures
  • All five Dino Zords can be displayed separately or combined to form the Dino Megazord in either Tank or Battle Mode
  • The mighty Zords and Megazords of the Power Rangers franchise are now built to be displayed proudly next to collectors’ model-scale figures or as part of their Power Rangers collection
  • The figure design was inspired by original concept art for Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger
  • The ultimate display piece; includes an incredible amount of detailing, removable faceplate to display cockpit with Power Rangers inside, and translucent pieces that highlight design
  • A unique unboxing experience totally new to the Power Rangers brand
  • The anticipated ship date for the product is August 2022.

Following the figure news, there was an interview with Ryan Parrott about the BOOM! Studios comics. Nothing new was really revealed here, but it is fun to hear how excited Ryan is about the upcoming Eltarian War storyline that will be kicking off next month.

Finally, there was the announcement of the Power Rangers NFT. Purchasing the NFT for $199.99 by October 24th will provide the customer with a special token that can be redeemed for a special black & gold edition of the Lightning Collection Zord Ascension Project Dino Megazord.
