The Justice League—Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern John Stewart, the Flash and Cyborg—meet Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in a six-issue monthly miniseries from New York Times best-selling writer Tom Taylor (INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US, GREEN LANTERN CORPS: EDGE OF OBLIVION) and artist Stephen Byrne (JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA REBIRTH: THE RAY).
“DC and BOOM!

Will Jason the Red Ranger, Trini the Yellow Ranger, Kimberly the Pink Ranger, Billy the Blue Ranger and Tommy the Green Ranger be able to get to Zack in time to save him from Batman? “Everyone at BOOM! is thrilled to be part of an event of this magnitude,” said BOOM!

It was a long exciting 4 days of New York Comic Con with announcements from multiple companies, but the big one of the weekend had to by far be the release of the Power Rangers Movie Trailer! This was the first look at the movie and it left everyone wanting to see more! I have had people telling me since its release on Saturday that they want to see this movie but previously had said that they thought it was going to be for kids. This is clearly not the case with the trailer, Saban and Lionsgate have been saying for months that this will be a "Darker Version" of the series that has been airing on T.V. all these years and in my opinion they delivered. The trailer shows us the Rangers having to attend a weekend schooling for delinquents, Jason has an ankle monitor, Trini is bullied with the words "Die Ugly Loser!!" & " No One Will Care!" written on her locker, you can also see the word "Bitch" scratched into it two times as well, Billy is bullied by someone who we can assume is Bulk and the is protected by Jason, Kimberly is confronted by her "Friends" and then cuts her hair short. The Rangers obtain the Power Coins and notice a physical change in themselves, Kimberly & Jason jump a canyon and tell Billy to follow, Jason breaks a sink by accident & when the bully confronts Billy and head buts him he is knocked unconscious with everyone staring at Billy wondering what happened. This is not an unfamiliar concept for the Power Rangers franchise, in Power Rangers Dino Thunder the Rangers gained specific abilities based on the Dino Gems and it is a cool idea to bring into the movie. Additionally Rita confronts Trini in her bedroom and tells her "I've killed Rangers before" and then grabs her by the neck and slams her into a brick wall. The trailer then turns to the Rangers standing around a room on platforms with energy swirling in the middle (presumably the Command Center) as the screen zooms into Jason we can see his Ranger Suit forming around his body. The trailer then fades out and we are then treated to that familiar "Go Go Power Rangers" tone and the trailer ends.
The song is the trailer is called "I Walk The Line" by Halsey and can be downloaded in the link provided! There were also new movie posters shown off at NYCC 2016, You can see them below as well! Along with all of these released items you can now access the Angel Grove High School News Paper! After the release the Power Rangers Movie social media accounts gave us a link to a Gif creator, you can access that by giving the link below a PUNCH! The Power Rangers Movie is set to teleport into theaters on 03/24/2017!

This evening we learned that Bill Hader will be the voice of everybody's favorite Ranger helping robot Alpha 5. Alpha 5 is the anxiety ridden fully sentient automaton that assists Zordon in the command center and occasionally would be sent into Angel Grove to assist the Rangers. Bill Hader joins an already growing cast of popular actors such as Bryan Cranston who is playing Zordon & Elizabeth Banks who is playing Rita Repulsa, and brings with him a list of characters he has portrayed from television and movies such as :
And many more. We have yet to see what Alpha 5 & Zordon will look like in the movie but with the trailer being shown at New York CominCon on October 8th, pictures of the designs should surface.

This is the first look at the Zords that we have been given, the best picture is the Triceratops Zord image it shows most of the head of the Zord and the others just show a tail or leg, Mastodon is not bad either in this aspect but does not give as much of a view as the Triceratops does.

The Power Ranger Legacy Firgure (Build-A-Figure) products measure about 6.5" tall, have 20 points of articulation & come with parts to build the Megazord from their respective series. Wave one consists of MMPR Red, MMPR Green, Ninja Storm Red, Ninja Storm Blue & Ninja Storm Yellow. These figures are priced at $19.99 and have started hitting shelves this month in assortment packages. I picked up my Legacy Figures at a local Target that had them in the back room but not on the floor yet, give a Target Team Member this DPCI 087-06-4657 and they can find it for you. These figures have also started showing up on Amazon & at Toys R Us Stores. Bandai says we can expect to see all of the Ranger teams created including 6th rangers at about one wave per year, they have also stated that the 6th Rangers will not come with Zord pieces but instead come with a special 6th weapon or accessory. Below you can read my review of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger Legacy Figure.
Packaging
The packaging design used for the Power Rangers Legacy Figures are new when compared to Bandai's packaging format. They look similar to the packaging used on the DC Comics Icons packages, they sport the curved edge on one side and the words "Legacy Collection" with the Ranger color written below it on the plastic. The front shows the Ranger season at the bottom, that Rangers picture and the "Build A Megazord" image as well. The remaining front of the packaging is clear and shows the Ranger and the accessories they come with. The back of the package shows the current wave of Legacy Figures available and the Zord that can be built by purchasing all 3 of the current Ninja Storm team. The Rangers are held into their plastic casing by only a few plastic straps that are easily cut with a scissor additionally they are not attached at every joint and the weapons are taped into their holding spots. Check out some of the packaging photos below.
The only accessories that come with the Legacy Red Ranger are a folded Blade Blaster and the Dino Megazord Torso. It really bothers me that they chose not to give him his Power Sword or the Blade Blaster in Blaster or Blade modes. I know the SDCC 2016 Legacy Figure came with the metallic version of both the Power Sword and Dino Megazord sword so to not include something more for a weapon just seems odd. The lack of the extra weapons really limits how you can pose and display this Legacy Figure.
Posing
The 20 points of articulation that Bandai has given to the Power Rangers Legacy Figures really gives alot of options when trying to find the perfect pose for these figures. Even with the terrible weapon that Bandai has chosen to include, you can still get some decent poses out of this figure. The weapon slides into his hand with little effort and unlike the Green Ranger there is no shield to restrict movement.
Final Thoughts
Considering all of the options, I recommend that you pick up these figures or at least grab the Rangers from your favorite season. I personally will be picking up all of the Legacy Rangers that they release. The Legacy Red Ranger gets 4.5 out of 5 PUNCHES. I would have given him a 5 out of 5 if he came with an additional or better weapon.

PUNCH the buttons bellow to activate the Viewing Globe! San Diego Comic-Con is going on this week in California, this means that every big company at the event is fighting for who can release the most information about their upcoming events. Lionsgate is no exception to this, with the new Power Rangers Movie hitting theaters in 2017 they have displayed the new Power Ranger Helmets & Power Coins at their booth. The coins have taken on a very different form from the original series and seem to be encased in some type of alien crystal but still show the colors of the ranger they belong to. However I was sure I had seen something similar prior to these Power Coins being placed on display, so I went back into previous images that were released and found one shot that jumped out at me. Check out the images of the Power Coins at SDCC 2016 below. Keep that image in your head for a moment and check out what Rita Repulsa has attached to her staff! Did you notice it? The Green Power Coin has been right in front of us for months. This also confirms that Rita's green armor style is most likely powered by the Green Ranger Powers. What do you think?
