[00:01:25] This is RangerCast, Episode 31, Everything Must Go, Hasbro's $3 Million Auction, recorded on Tuesday, November 19th, 2024.

[00:01:35] In this episode, Rita's Rewind's Plan of Attack, a tabletop game winds down, and the new era of Power Rangers comics.

[00:02:03] Alright, this is RangerCast. As always, I am Tyler, better known as Rita O'Volto, and I have Josh with me, also known as Razgriz.

[00:02:12] ...Movie, moving on, we do have some other news to get to. First off, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Rita's Rewind is out, well not out yet, but the previews of it are out in the press.

[00:02:26] ...outlets like IGN got to play through some of it. It harkens back not just to, you know, those old 2D beat-em-ups, like the kind that used to be made for Power Rangers, like, you know, the movie game from Genesis and SNES, all of that.

[00:02:44] ...but also like Ninja Turtles and The Simpsons, but it also draws a bit from the Sega arcade games of that era, specifically Space Harrier and OutRun, and how it works in chase sequences and zord sequences to build up the...

[00:03:04] ...excuse me, break up the...

[00:03:08] ...break up the action a bit.

[00:03:10] In my opinion, it's a true, genuine love letter to the fandom and the franchise as a whole. It's what we all wanted when we were little kids at this point, and I mean, not to jump ahead, Rita, but I do have to give them kudos, like, what they've had so far. Like, I am genuinely looking forward to it.

[00:03:30] Right, and it's also clear that the developers at Digital Eclipse did their homework. For example, there is a boss fight against Chunky Chicken, and in the second phase, Turkey Jerk comes out and joins the fight, which seems random until you think about the behind-the-scenes history of what Turkey Jerk was, which was a kitbash of Chunky Chicken.

[00:03:57] Which is a nice little in-joke for the fans.

[00:04:00] Absolutely. You could definitely tell. It's giving me the same vibes as original, like, MCU. Like, you see fans really, really dedicated, and you've seen the passion and the work involved in the development of this video game.

[00:04:21] And, I mean, I think it's a... As a side note, I think it's just a breath of fresh air that we're getting a solid game that we don't have to worry about DLC with.

[00:04:30] We don't have to worry about, like, content updates. We're getting the full package for it, and it... I mean, it looks...

[00:04:36] I think there will be DLC.

[00:04:37] DLC.

[00:04:39] Potentially. Potentially.

[00:04:40] Yeah.

[00:04:41] I expect DLC as well, but it's still nice to see something that is a complete package, you know, and looks to be, what, maybe five to seven hours? Maybe, if that.

[00:04:51] Right.

[00:04:52] For it.

[00:04:54] But readers rewind, kind of like, what we aim for, is broke up to episodes. And also, you play, because the whole thing is about Robo-Rita going back in time, kind of, you know, an alternate ending, once and always.

[00:05:08] It also plays the timeline. For example, you know, the game is set, like, during season one, but tangas show up. That sort of thing.

[00:05:19] Yeah.

[00:05:19] Yeah.

[00:05:20] Which I think is really cool.

[00:05:22] I think that's cool, too. I mean, the stuff they've shown, they've already confirmed as well, you know, the speculation is, uh, Tommy gonna be in it after the initial trailer. Yes, he's in it. They had, like, a full 15-minute, essentially, playthrough, which I agree with you, Rito, that they're probably gonna have DLC, because it's probably gonna be... you have to have the White Ranger in there at that point.

[00:05:45] Right, but that might also mean building out additional levels. You know, for example, how...

[00:05:50] Uh, the movie game for Genesis was padded out with levels depicting the events of, like, White Light and a few other episodes.

[00:06:02] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:06:03] Um, that game did slap.

[00:06:06] Yeah.

[00:06:07] Yeah. Like, I'm looking forward to this game.

[00:06:09] Um, I'm looking forward to...

[00:06:12] It makes sense as well, like, why it exists and stuff.

[00:06:15] Like, with all the multiverse stuff, with all the alternate universes and stuff, it definitely makes sense of a, oh, what if she did win, and how did it impact it?

[00:06:25] Almost giving, like, another kind of soft reset of the series.

[00:06:28] Um, I'm just honestly...

[00:06:30] I have friends who, uh, uh, I sent it to, and they're like, you know what?

[00:06:35] This would be fun as a party game, like, this Christmas.

[00:06:37] Um, all of us to get together.

[00:06:38] It gives us a good reason to hang out and have, like, a full, uh, Hour Ranger, uh, party, essentially, at this point.

[00:06:45] Um, and it arrives, uh, Arito, December 10th, and I'm very happy to say as well that, uh, it has cross-play compatibility with PC, PS5, Xbox.

[00:06:57] It will be on everything.

[00:06:58] It'll be on your microwave.

[00:07:00] Yeah.

[00:07:00] Yeah.

[00:07:01] It'll be...

[00:07:02] I'm looking forward to, uh, uh, the old school days, Arito, of playing Power Rangers on my microwave with my bowl of cereal.

[00:07:10] No, no.

[00:07:10] Um, but, but that aside, I'm happy that they took their sweet time with it.

[00:07:16] They really made sure, at least at the surface, from what we've got, um, it's going to look like to be a fun game and that all Power Ranger fans will enjoy.

[00:07:24] I'm also very happy, too, they finally announced it because it really did feel like, it's coming, guys!

[00:07:32] We promise!

[00:07:33] I mean...

[00:07:33] I don't think I ever felt like it wasn't coming.

[00:07:36] I never felt like it wasn't coming.

[00:07:38] Games take time.

[00:07:40] I felt like it was going to get delayed because they kept kind of kicking the can down the street.

[00:07:45] No, I think there was enough, like, there was enough, like, footage of the game in action that I wasn't anxious at all.

[00:07:52] I was also excited to see that they announced the voice cast.

[00:07:57] AJ Locascio will be voicing, or I guess did voice, Jason Zordon Alpha 5.

[00:08:05] He's been a bunch of things.

[00:08:06] He was recently Gambit in X-Men 97.

[00:08:09] Uh, he also is a great impressionist.

[00:08:12] He did a great, um, uh, Marty McFly in the Back to the Future Telltale games.

[00:08:18] That was, like, his breakout role.

[00:08:19] He was really good in it.

[00:08:21] As Kimberly is Christina V. Valenzuela.

[00:08:24] Uh, she's trying to transition her...

[00:08:26] She's trying to transition her stage name back to, you know, her birth name.

[00:08:29] But, uh, she was in Hyperforce.

[00:08:33] Uh, she was Vesper in Hyperforce.

[00:08:36] And she was the new Sailor Mars in, uh, uh, Sailor Moon.

[00:08:41] Right.

[00:08:42] But where would Power Rangers fans know her from?

[00:08:44] Right, right, right, right, right, right.

[00:08:45] What I mean, what, uh, I guess the joke then for Power Rangers was they picked the voice actors that you will never get an autograph from just like real life.

[00:08:53] So the same tradition of the Pink Ranger.

[00:08:57] And the Black Ranger is voiced by Isaac Robinson Smith.

[00:09:01] Uh, also from X-Men 97, Holly Cho is the voice of the Yellow Ranger.

[00:09:06] The Green Ranger will be voiced by James Willems.

[00:09:09] He also voices Bones, Goldar, and a fourth character who I guess we'll find out in Rita's Rewind.

[00:09:17] And Allie Dixon voices Roba Rita.

[00:09:20] And the Blue Ranger is voiced by Dan Amrick, who literally works at Digital Eclipse and used to be an actor.

[00:09:28] So that's pretty cool.

[00:09:30] You know, good for him.

[00:09:31] Yeah, it's a very, very solid list.

[00:09:33] I'm very impressed with, uh, uh, the voice actors and actresses they got for it.

[00:09:38] And it's a little bit, even a little bit of a surprise of who they got.

[00:09:41] So, uh, look, I would say based on the previews and stuff too, they don't feel forced either.

[00:09:47] Um, they do feel like the original voices.

[00:09:51] Yeah.

[00:09:52] And, um, I think people who were expecting them to get some of the original actors first, this game takes place in 1993.

[00:10:03] The original surviving actors, uh, first this game takes place in 1993.

[00:10:10] Let me re- let me reset that sentence entirely.

[00:10:13] Uh, for people who were expecting them to get the original surviving actors, uh, there are a few things to consider.

[00:10:20] First, this game takes place in 1993.

[00:10:22] Uh, and these actors are much older now.

[00:10:26] Uh, second of all, this is not a union game.

[00:10:31] In fact, uh, there's a SAG-AFTRA strike against interactive projects.

[00:10:38] Uh, so that means that even if they wanted to get Barbara Goodson, they wouldn't be able to get her.

[00:10:48] That said, you know, we hope SAG-AFTRA gets everything that they want.

[00:10:52] And we hope that AI never replaces, you know, real human voice actors and motion capture.

[00:11:00] Uh, you know, rock on.

[00:11:03] I think that's- and- and to add to that, too.

[00:11:06] Um, just very briefly.

[00:11:07] I'm also glad, too, like, what- what you mentioned, too, about the- like, you know, the actors a little bit older.

[00:11:13] I mean, you could say that about X-Men 97, where some of the stuff, it's a little bit rough for them to get back into character, um, for that.

[00:11:20] And sometimes the voices change, where they just don't sound like the characters.

[00:11:25] So finding someone that is similar is not bad.

[00:11:30] It's a good thing that they are not basically stuck in a corner.

[00:11:35] Right, yeah.

[00:11:36] Yeah, I think X-Men 97, like, some of them came back to do the same voices.

[00:11:40] Some of them came back to do different voices.

[00:11:42] I think Alice in Court, though, abandoned Jubilee for a totally different reason.

[00:11:45] Um, well, a great example of that, uh, uh, Rito, is the original voice actress for, uh, Jean Grey in, uh, 97.

[00:11:54] She outright said her voice has changed over 30 years.

[00:11:58] She can't- she can't get the same pitch anymore that Jennifer Hale can, but they still want to bring her back, so she was the- the scientist.

[00:12:06] I still need to watch X-Men 97, so.

[00:12:10] Yeah, yeah, there's-

[00:12:11] Way behind everything.

[00:12:12] I'm not doing any spoilers for it.

[00:12:13] It's just a reality when they were, like, they were able to find a role for her, and they were glad they were able to do that.

[00:12:21] Uh, versus Cal Dodd, who was original Wolverine and sounds exactly like he did 30 years ago, and it actually sounds just as, uh, uh, good because the voice is a lot rougher.

[00:12:30] It's like, yeah, that's Wolverine.

[00:12:32] Yeah.

[00:12:32] The other bit of news is that the, uh, Media Blaster's Kamen Rider Collection, uh, with Kamen Rider Zeo, Kamen Rider Jay, Shin Kamen Rider Prologue,

[00:12:42] and Kamen Rider World is out and on its way to people.

[00:12:46] Rather, it was.

[00:12:47] Uh, there was an audio sync issue with Shin Kamen Rider Prologue.

[00:12:51] Media Blasters is addressing.

[00:12:53] John C. Rubella, who basically is Media Blasters, he's the CEO, all that, said in a video that they stopped shipping,

[00:13:01] that lip flap was about five or six frames off, but people were seeing it like a second off.

[00:13:06] Uh, quality control didn't flag it because Shin Kamen Rider Prologue is an older film, and films at the time were all done with ADR,

[00:13:16] and it's totally normal for lip flaps to be a little bit off because, you know, just the human element.

[00:13:23] So, they got HD versions of Jay and Zio from Toy, but they got SD material from Toy on Shin,

[00:13:33] which, if you're trying to put that on Blu-ray, that's not gonna work.

[00:13:37] It's not gonna work very well.

[00:13:38] So, Media Blaster wasn't happy with that.

[00:13:40] So, they found a guy with a copy of the Japanese Blu-ray who ripped it and sent that file to them and didn't do any work on it.

[00:13:50] Uh, but whatever that person did to rip it ended up with the audio sync issue.

[00:13:58] So, they got a better rip of the Japanese Blu-ray, and it basically comes down to six frames,

[00:14:04] but this is a big release for them, obviously, and they don't want people to feel ripped off.

[00:14:09] So, they're going frame by frame, and everybody who has already received it will be sent fixed discs in the mail.

[00:14:18] I'm taking people's word for it that the issue even exists.

[00:14:20] I haven't watched, uh, I haven't popped my Blu-ray in yet,

[00:14:25] but, um, it's good that they're trying to do the right thing because there's a release that you don't want to get wrong,

[00:14:32] uh, as hyped as it was.

[00:14:36] Absolutely.

[00:14:36] So, uh, in other Tokusatsu news, a new trademark has been filed for the next entry in the Ultraman franchise.

[00:14:44] It is for Ultraman Omega, which comes out in 2025.

[00:14:51] Also, Ultraman Z is, uh, coming to Blu-ray.

[00:14:56] Um, let me, let me restart that sentence.

[00:15:01] Ultraman Z is coming to Blu-ray on January 28th from Mill Creek Entertainment.

[00:15:07] Uh, for those who haven't seen it, here is the, uh, synopsis.

[00:15:11] In the distant past, a monstrous devil was shattered after a devastating battle.

[00:15:18] Today, the splinters of that powerful foe were still causing chaos throughout the universe.

[00:15:22] While the Ultra Heroes fight to restore peace to the galaxy, a mysterious new threat used these splinters in its despicable schemes to destroy planets one by one.

[00:15:29] And now that evil being is approaching the land of light.

[00:15:32] In its way stands the gallant Ultraman Zero and its disciple, Ultraman Zet.

[00:15:37] At the end of a fierce battle, Z pursues the monster alone, making his way towards Earth.

[00:15:42] Meanwhile on Earth, the anti-monster robot force, Storage, has been formed to deal with regular monster threats,

[00:15:48] and has just been joined by its newest recruit, hot-blooded youth, Haruki Natsukawa.

[00:15:53] When a monster from space invades Earth, Z and Haruki have a failed f-

[00:15:58] When a monster from space invades Earth, Z and Haruki have a faithful encounter.

[00:16:03] Here begins the incredible story of our two young heroes' battles.

[00:16:08] Uh, and this is actually a new-ish series.

[00:16:13] It came out just in 2020.

[00:16:15] Uh, the dub was announced in 2023.

[00:16:18] It premiered on the, uh, YouTube channel that April.

[00:16:21] So, that's about a year and a half between Premiere and Blu-ray.

[00:16:26] That's pretty cool.

[00:16:27] Um, and wait-

[00:16:29] I'm not-

[00:16:30] I need to get more into Ultraman.

[00:16:32] Maybe I'll pick this up.

[00:16:33] I don't know.

[00:16:36] Man, I haven't watched Ultraman in years.

[00:16:38] I'm kind of the same boat.

[00:16:39] I'm more excited about, uh, the new, uh, Gridman, uh, uh, series.

[00:16:44] So, yeah, we're- we're in the same boat.

[00:16:47] Uh, and the other thing out of the trademark filings is the name of the new Sentai series.

[00:16:55] And I guess they're just taking- using the first name they come up with in a room at Toy.

[00:17:01] Uh, the name is Wanban Sentai Gojujur.

[00:17:05] That's number one Sentai Gojujur.

[00:17:08] Here's something you do feel qualified to talk about.

[00:17:11] Heroes of the Grid is kind of in the process of winding down.

[00:17:16] I have mixed emotions on this because, you know, after a five-year, uh, run, which is very impressive for a board game for Power Rangers of all things.

[00:17:28] Because regardless of how much we love the series, it is still a smaller, like, fandom versus compared to others.

[00:17:36] So, to get a board game from its initial Kickstarter run in 2019 to have this big grand finale in 2025 with at least one Ranger member or, like, significant figure from, uh, from each series.

[00:17:53] It's as impressive as the Lightning Collection with how diverse and everything is.

[00:17:58] But it's- it's what you said, uh, Rito, as all good things must come to an end.

[00:18:02] So, at some point, the costs are going to catch up, uh, uh, to them.

[00:18:06] So, they're gonna go all out on this last set.

[00:18:09] Supposedly, it looks like on the Kickstarter, um, you can go there now to get notified when it gets launched.

[00:18:15] Which should be looking like, they said early 2025.

[00:18:19] So, I'm assuming if we go by the Digital Eclipse, uh, calendar, anywhere from, I would say, late March, maybe, all the way to May.

[00:18:28] That's just a guess.

[00:18:29] But, um, like I said, I'm sad to see it, uh, come to an end because it is genuinely a fun board game.

[00:18:36] Um, but my wallet will be very happy to hear that, though.

[00:18:40] Um, they made the announcement a couple weeks back during their, like, RenegadeCon online show.

[00:18:47] And they already gave us, um, uh, ones that are going to be, uh, uh, released at the time.

[00:18:53] So, we are getting, for all those people clamoring, um, for Lord Zed.

[00:18:59] No, you're not getting the original Kickstarter of Lord Zed.

[00:19:01] But you are getting, it appears, Master Zed, uh, from Cosmic Fury.

[00:19:06] Where it also looks like we're getting Evil Ollie as an enemy based on the sculpts they sent.

[00:19:12] Um, looking at it right here, uh, Death Ranger, uh, from the comics.

[00:19:18] Um, also getting Evo Form 3, uh, Lord Drakken.

[00:19:23] And then they showed off, it looks like some artwork of Master Zed, um, and Evil Ollie and a couple others.

[00:19:29] Um, obviously, I think it's all by the same artist from before.

[00:19:32] I think it's still Dan.

[00:19:33] But there's also, too, looking at the character cards of, like, drafts and everything.

[00:19:39] It does look like we're also getting Mystic, uh, Force as one of the last teams.

[00:19:45] Um, Ninja Atom.

[00:19:48] And then also, uh, it looks like, uh, I can't really tell from it, but it looks like, um, something from Cosmic Fury as well.

[00:19:58] So, we're getting some good stuff, and they said it's going to be a big box.

[00:20:03] So, I'm looking forward to...

[00:20:04] Oh, yeah!

[00:20:05] We're also, it looks like, potentially, depending on it, we did get artwork of, um, Mountain Blaster.

[00:20:11] So, maybe there's some Turbo we're finally getting.

[00:20:15] It may be, you know, better late than never.

[00:20:17] But we're getting something from it.

[00:20:19] Um, but, I mean, as a playtester for it, I've enjoyed playtesting for this game.

[00:20:25] It was fun, uh, playtesting, like, the original prototypes of Rangers, different scenarios, and everything like that.

[00:20:32] I fully expect it to be very expensive.

[00:20:35] I don't have any insider info on that.

[00:20:37] Um, that's all pertains to the company and everything, of course.

[00:20:41] But, yeah, I mean, they've made a run at it.

[00:20:45] Um, we'll be looking forward to it when it releases.

[00:20:48] And, you know, it's popular at cons.

[00:20:50] Um, we just had it happen at, uh, our little local con here, where someone demoed it for the day, and you could bring your own Ranger.

[00:20:56] So, I brought, uh, uh, Crone with me.

[00:20:59] And ran, uh, Lost Galaxy Pink.

[00:21:01] So, I'm looking forward to it.

[00:21:03] We'll know more details, obviously, uh, as we get closer to, uh, its release date.

[00:21:09] Probably, they'll probably have maybe one more Renegade Con before they officially announce the date or anything.

[00:21:14] So, everyone, just make sure your credit cards are cleared.

[00:21:16] Make sure, uh, you're ready for a Kickstarter, um, for it.

[00:21:20] Um, yeah.

[00:21:21] I'm looking forward to it.

[00:21:23] And there was a new RPG Sourcebook release today, wasn't there?

[00:21:27] Yes, there was.

[00:21:27] Uh, so a couple, uh, during that same Renegade Con, um, they announced that Power Rangers, uh, uh, their RPG through Renegade System, uh, is going to get another Sourcebook that is focused on the comics.

[00:21:41] And lo and behold, as of today of this recording, the PDF is available, like, four months before the shipping date of the physical book, which is just astronomically quick.

[00:21:51] Um, I already previewed a little bit through it, and it seems like it focuses a bunch on the comic book, um, arcs.

[00:21:58] So, Shattered Grid, um, the Eltarian War, um, Necessary Evil, and it looks like part one of Darkest Hour, um, for it.

[00:22:08] So, looking through it, we got some good enemies from it.

[00:22:12] We got some of, um, King Mondo's brother.

[00:22:14] Um, we got some stats for Serpentera.

[00:22:17] Um, we got stats for, uh, Ranger Z, Lord Zed in his Ranger form.

[00:22:22] And a couple other ones for it.

[00:22:24] It gives you some new backgrounds.

[00:22:25] It gives you some new, uh, uh, uh, perks and powers and some other zords.

[00:22:31] I'm just happy we finally got the Thunderzords, uh, stat.

[00:22:34] So, we now know kind of how to use them in-game.

[00:22:37] Um, but yeah, another source book.

[00:22:39] Right now it's online.

[00:22:40] You can pre-order it, um, right now for $45, um, plus with shipping and everything.

[00:22:45] And that should look like it's gonna arrive, the physical book will arrive in March of 2025.

[00:22:52] Um, and that's in addition to them announcing another up-supposed deck builder as well, uh, set.

[00:22:58] So, lots of good stuff coming from Renegade, man.

[00:23:01] Um, I know people love the system.

[00:23:03] I, uh, uh, just as a quick side note to not take too much time from the show.

[00:23:08] I, uh, demoed, uh, uh, Renegade's 2023 Gen Con scenario at Miracle Con here in Oklahoma City back in July.

[00:23:17] And we had a good turnout of people who liked the system.

[00:23:20] They said it's nothing against D&D, but there's so much D&D.

[00:23:24] We feel like that it is drowning out the other board games.

[00:23:28] So, we had people show up, uh, and play, uh, uh, the scenario, uh, Battle for the Multiverse.

[00:23:34] And we had several Power Rangers, several Transformers, and several G.I. Joes.

[00:23:38] And all in all, it was a good one.

[00:23:40] So, I'm hoping myself to run, uh, part two next year as well as, uh, some of their scenarios.

[00:23:45] So, Renegade has a good following, man.

[00:23:48] And I'm looking forward to the content that they keep pumping out.

[00:23:50] I mean, my Ranger group's been running for almost two and a half years now on our story.

[00:23:55] And we're enjoying every minute of it.

[00:23:57] Oh, cool.

[00:23:58] And, uh, we also wanted to highlight an article that came out in September after we recorded our previous episode.

[00:24:05] Uh, in which Simon Bennett talked about the making of Cosmic Fury.

[00:24:09] And also what he would have liked to have done if they'd gotten one more season in New Zealand.

[00:24:17] It was a really fascinating article.

[00:24:19] Like, he talked about things like how, um, the Cosmic Fury Morpher, that, uh, one of the few toys that was produced.

[00:24:26] It had this gimmick that, where it would interact or would react, I should say, to things that happen on the show.

[00:24:35] Specifically the opening theme and the morph.

[00:24:38] And that gimmick existing meant that the opening music and the morph music, and therefore also the morph, I guess, by extension, had to be locked well ahead of them actually shooting anything.

[00:24:55] Which was a really fascinating challenge for the stunt team, sketching this out in Japan, then doing it in New Zealand.

[00:25:03] And, uh, it was worth it, though, because it's good to give kids something to be able to roleplay too.

[00:25:10] Also, bringing Billy back for Cosmic Fury didn't dovetail from Once and Always.

[00:25:18] In fact, bringing Billy back for Cosmic Fury was the idea before Once and Always was ever an idea.

[00:25:24] He, uh, he, uh, referred to interviews with David Yost where he talks about the difficult circumstances under which he left.

[00:25:35] And they wanted to try to give him, personally, a happier ending than that.

[00:25:41] And thankfully they were able to do that.

[00:25:44] But in terms of what they would have done had they got another year, there was a pitch Bible that included, you know,

[00:25:53] the idea as maybe a Ranger who was plus size or a Ranger who had a disability.

[00:26:00] They were thinking of bringing in JJ, who in their thinking would be non-binary.

[00:26:07] Uh, they also considered the idea of if there were another season with the same cast, bringing Min into the fold somehow.

[00:26:16] Uh, which, again, that's kind of something that was left on the table at the end of Once and Always,

[00:26:22] the idea that Min is still out there somewhere, uh, carrying out her mother's legacy.

[00:26:28] And the article was really, really fascinating because, like, outside of what had been his Twitter interactions,

[00:26:34] there really wasn't, uh, a whole lot of him talking at length about the reasoning behind some of these decisions.

[00:26:44] It honestly reminds me of, like, now that, I'm not going to say the show is wrapped up, but now that, you know, for now.

[00:26:55] But it's making me think of that book that's also going to be the behind-the-scenes book that's going to be released sometime by, uh,

[00:27:02] one of the show staff, like, sometime next year.

[00:27:04] This is kind of those behind-the-scenes type of stuff.

[00:27:07] Yeah.

[00:27:08] It was reminding me a lot of that of, like, you know, we wanted to do this, and then, oh, we got cut, like, many episodes,

[00:27:14] so we had to, like, make sure we at least hit the major points we wanted to, um, for it.

[00:27:20] Which seems like why some of the storytelling may be, like, disjointed, or why some of the arcs, like, went and wrapped up.

[00:27:26] So, like, the, I think the fascinating part from that interview was them talking about, um, oh, his name is escaping me, Rito.

[00:27:34] Um, um, Ranger Who Lost His Arm.

[00:27:38] Avi.

[00:27:40] Thank you.

[00:27:40] And that they said they had very, very clear guidelines of, you can do this, however, we cannot use this as a sad thing.

[00:27:50] We need to use it as a challenge, as a, you know.

[00:27:52] You had to run it by consultants, all that.

[00:27:54] It's kind of like how, when, when Rock of the Modern Life had that special, they brought, Nickelodeon actually asked them to bring Glad in and consult on it because of the inclusion of a trans character.

[00:28:11] And it worked out for the best.

[00:28:14] Because.

[00:28:15] It created a story where, where Ed grew to be accepting of his daughter.

[00:28:25] Yeah.

[00:28:26] Yeah.

[00:28:26] And, I, I love the behind the scenes stuff.

[00:28:29] Like, usually that stuff that's pretty, I'm not going to say exclusive, but it's usually relegated to conventions or, like, one-on-one interviews.

[00:28:38] Where they're even tentative to talk about, like, some of these development stuff.

[00:28:43] Because to them, too, it's like, it's also just a show.

[00:28:46] Like, I don't remember when we did this.

[00:28:48] This was 30 years ago.

[00:28:49] Versus, like, some of the directors or producers or actors where they're very passionate about it.

[00:28:54] So, it's, I, I like hearing these behind the scenes stories that we're hearing.

[00:28:59] And it's a great article.

[00:29:00] I highly recommend it as well of what the thought process was.

[00:29:03] Because, um, I think also, in addition to the, the, um, uh, Black Ranger, I would also say the interesting, uh, point was Lord Zedd was not supposed to be a part of, uh, at all of Dino Fury.

[00:29:19] And then that was kind of a, I'm not going to say a demand, but it was a, um, requirement.

[00:29:26] I guess this is the word of Hasbro of, well, you're bringing in Lord Zedd.

[00:29:31] Okay, I guess we're bringing in Lord Zedd.

[00:29:33] How are we going to do this?

[00:29:35] And then it just all worked out, uh, really well in the end.

[00:29:38] Very weird for an expanded universe kind of thing.

[00:29:42] But beggars can't be choosers either.

[00:29:44] Like, was I happy to see, like, OG evil Lord Zedd back?

[00:29:48] Yes, I was.

[00:29:49] And speaking of Zedd, there was another thing that they kind of had to deal with.

[00:29:55] Even if all the whole cast was, in theory, cool to come back, Kai Moya had all this other stuff going on.

[00:30:03] And that's why Ollie was turned evil, because it gave them a reason to have him in this suit with Kai Moya doing voiceover from the U.S.

[00:30:16] And it worked out in the end, too.

[00:30:19] In his reflections on Simon Bennett says Kai was the only person who couldn't commit to the dates because he had various other possibilities happening.

[00:30:27] So he decided to write Ollie in such a way that, if necessary, he could be masked the entire time and played by a double with Kai voicing him from the U.S.

[00:30:35] The only way we could have him separate from all the other rangers was really to have him as a villain, as we had done in a single episode of Dino Fury.

[00:30:42] Having the spell put on him again, but stay evil.

[00:30:45] Going on to say that Lord Zedd always wanted his own ranger team, and he finally got his own ranger to play with for a while.

[00:30:51] I think it worked well for the story.

[00:30:53] It also created extra pressure on Emilia because her boyfriend has turned evil at the same time that she's having to step up to be a team leader.

[00:31:01] And then, of course, you've got the whole, has he been cured or not at the end?

[00:31:05] Intrigue is a really powerful tool for storytelling.

[00:31:09] I would say, too, it offered a component that you didn't mention as well.

[00:31:15] With Ollie being evil, it offered almost the flip side of a coin for Lord Zedd acting as a Zordon mentor, but the other side of the story, essentially, where you don't see just Lord Zedd being evil, overlord, galactic, power-hungry villain.

[00:31:34] You see him definitely as that more toned-down, well, this is why we do it type of deal.

[00:31:42] Like, it kind of makes sense, and it flowed really well.

[00:31:45] Side note, I mean, in my opinion, and I say this whispering very loudly, I think they did a better job than what they did with Jason David Frank in Dino Thunder.

[00:31:57] Well, yeah, because the footage didn't really allow him to be separate or anything like that.

[00:32:03] I thought the storytelling was...

[00:32:04] Correct.

[00:32:05] I also thought, though, the storytelling for Dino Thunder for that was very disjointed.

[00:32:11] For that versus now, where, again, obviously the footage aside, it flowed much smoother with Ollie.

[00:32:17] Like, I couldn't have told you that he was separate from the rest of the cast at that time.

[00:32:22] They just did that good of a job.

[00:32:24] And I think they should definitely get kudos for that.

[00:32:26] Well, because of his scheduling, 99% of the time when he was on set, he was working with the second unit guys.

[00:32:35] So he said also in an interview with Blue Screen Reveals that, quote,

[00:32:40] I'm constantly by Lord Zed, and he's huge.

[00:32:43] When filming, it's actually just me doing the scene because they're speaking Japanese back to me.

[00:32:48] While saying my lines, I'd stay composed in my moment because although I know what they're saying from the script,

[00:32:54] they're saying it back in Japanese.

[00:32:56] It was a little wild having to get used to that, but it worked out.

[00:32:59] It's probably similar to what Adelaide Kane might have went through when she was doing RPM because she spent all her time around suits.

[00:33:08] Yeah.

[00:33:09] Yeah.

[00:33:11] It's still a very fascinating read and very interesting kind of – it makes me think of how Power Rangers, it's still its own.

[00:33:23] To use an example from it, as everybody has known who's ever listened to this podcast, I like MLP, Friendship is Magic.

[00:33:31] It's like how Lauren Foss was given not the reins, but she could work on the show, but they said,

[00:33:38] all right, here's your limitations.

[00:33:39] We're not going to give you full reign to utilize the characters as you want because she had her own.

[00:33:45] This is kind of, all right, Hasbro said, here's the limitations.

[00:33:49] How can we tailor this to our story?

[00:33:51] And then, of course, budget cuts.

[00:33:53] I'm going to pretend they understood any of that.

[00:33:56] Basically, they worked with what they were given, and I think based on what they were given at the time, they did a great job with it.

[00:34:04] Instead of like, oh, we're just going to not include Ollie, they made it work and work in such a way that it made a lot of sense both in story and also highlighting the character as well.

[00:34:18] But I also think that worked because of Netflix.

[00:34:22] All right, so we're going to take a break.

[00:34:23] When we come back, we're going to talk about the auction, and we're going to talk about Power Rangers Prime and other things going on with the comics.

[00:34:31] So, back in a bit.

[00:34:32] My nephew, like the Power Rangers.

[00:34:35] And I did this on his birthday where he had all his friends around.

[00:34:38] They were like, Green Ranger?

[00:34:39] I said, let me show you the real Sentai.

[00:34:41] I'm going to show you the episode where Green Ranger actually dies.

[00:34:44] And they were sitting there looking.

[00:34:46] A couple kids started crying like, no, Green Ranger can't be daddy.

[00:34:49] And the parents were like, what are you showing our kids?

[00:34:52] The Anime World Order podcast.

[00:34:54] Not suitable for children because the truth hurts.

[00:34:57] Visit us online at www.animeworldorder.com.

[00:35:02] And we are back.

[00:35:04] So, over the past two days, there were live auctions held for nearly everything that Hasbro had kicking around the storage unit.

[00:35:13] Or from back in Auckland, from the 30 years of production on Power Rangers.

[00:35:20] And nearly everything they had.

[00:35:23] Everything including old heads from Next Mutation.

[00:35:29] Animatronics.

[00:35:31] Costumes.

[00:35:33] Props.

[00:35:34] Old issues of Disney Adventure.

[00:35:37] There's going to be another auction sometime in Q1 of next year.

[00:35:43] Where they'll auction off whatever odds and ends they didn't sell this time.

[00:35:48] But the stuff isn't going to be as good.

[00:35:51] And I was thinking going in that most of the fans who were bidding these things, who wanted these things,

[00:36:01] would get shut out by the broader market for entertainment memorabilia.

[00:36:07] And that may have been true to an extent.

[00:36:12] But there were actually a couple of bidders who were clearly fans, who did get some of these things.

[00:36:23] There was one bidder whose number kept popping up in the live webcast.

[00:36:31] He was bidder he or she or they were bidder number 102.

[00:36:37] And they identified themselves on Twitter with proving themselves by showing their number from the floor auction.

[00:36:46] As well as screenshots of the things they won.

[00:36:49] Proving that they won them.

[00:36:51] And this person spent tens of thousands of dollars at the auction.

[00:36:55] Like, I really want to know more about this individual.

[00:36:59] Who they are.

[00:37:00] Where they get that kind of money.

[00:37:03] But they say that they don't really have a footprint in the online fandom.

[00:37:07] But that they are fans.

[00:37:09] That they are a fan.

[00:37:10] And they wanted to go after some of this stuff.

[00:37:15] I think we learned, Rito, that 102 is a great example of,

[00:37:20] we discovered something new about the Power Rangers fandom.

[00:37:23] Some of y'all have deep pockets out there.

[00:37:26] And I am very jealous.

[00:37:29] Yeah.

[00:37:30] But here is what they won.

[00:37:32] It started with Meowr Rangers.

[00:37:34] The group of six cat costumes.

[00:37:37] Then it continued with the five SWAT helmets from SPD.

[00:37:43] The SPD green costume.

[00:37:46] Bridges officer uniform.

[00:37:49] The Doggy Kruger costume with the animatronic head.

[00:37:53] All that.

[00:37:55] Three Shadow Ranger suits.

[00:37:58] Omega.

[00:38:00] Mystic Force Blue.

[00:38:03] Solaris Knight.

[00:38:04] Two of the Red Shadow Guards from Jungle Fury.

[00:38:07] Osiris from Jungle Fury.

[00:38:10] Master Xandret hero costume from Samurai.

[00:38:13] Curio from Dino Charge.

[00:38:15] The Drive Defender from Overdrive.

[00:38:18] Six Overdrive helmets.

[00:38:20] The blue Jungle Fury Ranger hero costume.

[00:38:23] Six Booster Claws from Jungle Fury.

[00:38:27] The yellow Jungle Fury costume.

[00:38:31] It's added up.

[00:38:33] Rhino Ranger hero costume.

[00:38:35] Red Jungle Master mode.

[00:38:38] Red Strike Rider armor.

[00:38:41] And helmet.

[00:38:42] I get it, Rhino.

[00:38:43] I'm a peasant.

[00:38:45] I know.

[00:38:47] You don't have to rub it in.

[00:38:51] Jaden's Red Samurai costume.

[00:38:52] Uh.

[00:38:55] Uh.

[00:38:55] Jaden's Super Samurai Mega Mode costume.

[00:39:00] Uh.

[00:39:02] Samurai Pink.

[00:39:04] Samurai Pink Mega.

[00:39:05] Super Mega.

[00:39:06] Super Samurai Mega Mode.

[00:39:08] Lots of supers.

[00:39:08] Lots of Megas.

[00:39:09] In Saban era.

[00:39:11] Uh.

[00:39:11] Samurai Gold.

[00:39:12] Samurai Gold Mega Mode.

[00:39:15] Uh.

[00:39:16] Super Mega Force Silver Hero costume.

[00:39:19] And Ninja Steel Gold.

[00:39:22] Now.

[00:39:23] To this person's credit.

[00:39:25] They are.

[00:39:27] Willing to at least have conversations with.

[00:39:29] People like Morphin Museum.

[00:39:30] Who made their own bids.

[00:39:31] And won their own.

[00:39:32] Sets of items.

[00:39:34] Uh.

[00:39:35] And talked to people like Greg Aronowitz.

[00:39:37] Who might be interested in.

[00:39:38] Things like the doggy animatronic.

[00:39:40] And they weren't the only whale.

[00:39:42] This.

[00:39:43] This individual.

[00:39:44] Somebody out there.

[00:39:46] Bought the.

[00:39:47] Cosmic Blaster.

[00:39:48] Cosmic Fury.

[00:39:49] For $87,500.

[00:39:51] There was a really big bidding war on that.

[00:39:53] Just straight out of nowhere.

[00:39:55] And you have to wonder on that item specifically.

[00:39:59] You know.

[00:40:01] Out of all the items.

[00:40:03] Why that one?

[00:40:05] Because that blaster is.

[00:40:06] Fugly.

[00:40:07] It is not.

[00:40:09] If there is one.

[00:40:11] True criticism.

[00:40:12] I have a Cosmic Fury.

[00:40:13] That blaster.

[00:40:14] That blaster is.

[00:40:15] Needed another draft.

[00:40:16] That aside though.

[00:40:18] It is also like.

[00:40:19] We didn't see it very often.

[00:40:20] Yeah.

[00:40:21] Like.

[00:40:21] There's.

[00:40:21] It's really.

[00:40:22] There's no toy of it.

[00:40:23] So I guess.

[00:40:24] Maybe that's what the value is.

[00:40:26] Um.

[00:40:26] For it.

[00:40:27] Um.

[00:40:28] I.

[00:40:29] I feel like it didn't have.

[00:40:30] Any type of significance.

[00:40:32] But you know.

[00:40:33] $87,000.

[00:40:35] There's someone with $87,000.

[00:40:36] More reasons than myself.

[00:40:38] For it.

[00:40:39] Apparently.

[00:40:40] But.

[00:40:40] Yeah.

[00:40:41] That was a shocker.

[00:40:43] The other.

[00:40:44] Top.

[00:40:45] Items.

[00:40:46] Included.

[00:40:46] As we expected.

[00:40:47] The Astro Mega Ship.

[00:40:49] Which went for $47,500.

[00:40:51] The.

[00:40:51] Wait.

[00:40:52] Wait.

[00:40:52] Before you go further.

[00:40:54] Uh.

[00:40:54] Reno.

[00:40:54] Um.

[00:40:55] Um.

[00:40:55] I actually have.

[00:40:57] The final list.

[00:40:59] Of like.

[00:41:00] The top 10 items.

[00:41:01] Oh you are?

[00:41:02] Okay.

[00:41:04] So.

[00:41:05] Besides the Cosmic Blaster.

[00:41:06] The other top items.

[00:41:08] Included.

[00:41:09] As we expected.

[00:41:10] Since it was up there.

[00:41:11] In.

[00:41:11] Early bidding.

[00:41:13] The Astro Mega Ship.

[00:41:14] The Transforming Astro Mega Ship.

[00:41:16] Uh.

[00:41:17] Model.

[00:41:18] Prop.

[00:41:18] Goes for.

[00:41:19] $47,500.

[00:41:20] This is all.

[00:41:21] Before Buyer's Premiums.

[00:41:22] I believe.

[00:41:23] So just tack another.

[00:41:24] 25% on.

[00:41:25] Onto each of these.

[00:41:27] Uh.

[00:41:28] A Green Ranger costume.

[00:41:30] Purported to be.

[00:41:31] From Mighty Morphin.

[00:41:32] Though.

[00:41:32] Fans identified.

[00:41:34] Parts that were from.

[00:41:35] Newer productions.

[00:41:36] Like.

[00:41:38] Like Dimensions in Danger.

[00:41:40] Uh.

[00:41:40] That went for $30,000.

[00:41:42] The Thunder Mega Zord.

[00:41:43] Helmet.

[00:41:44] Just the helmet.

[00:41:45] Went for $27,500.

[00:41:47] The.

[00:41:47] That was weird.

[00:41:48] Yeah I know.

[00:41:49] That one out of everything.

[00:41:51] And I have it in my notes.

[00:44:08] Who won.

[00:44:09] Any of these things.

[00:44:10] Beyond.

[00:44:11] Just.

[00:44:12] Describing them as.

[00:44:14] Had them having been a live bidder.

[00:44:16] Or an internet bid.

[00:44:17] Or whatever.

[00:44:18] Interestingly.

[00:44:19] You know.

[00:44:19] There was a lot of talk.

[00:44:21] About.

[00:44:23] Uh.

[00:44:23] Cosmic Fury Red.

[00:44:25] Uh.

[00:44:26] That bidding.

[00:44:27] Was up.

[00:44:29] Through like.

[00:44:30] Early internet bids.

[00:44:31] To 15,000.

[00:44:32] And it was the only item.

[00:44:33] That I can recall.

[00:44:35] That did not get any.

[00:44:37] Additional bids.

[00:44:38] In the moment.

[00:44:39] All of these.

[00:44:40] Were bid up.

[00:44:41] At least once or twice.

[00:44:42] Uh.

[00:44:43] Over the course.

[00:44:44] Of the bidding.

[00:44:46] And.

[00:44:46] In terms of things.

[00:44:48] That were.

[00:44:49] Obtained by the actual actors.

[00:44:51] The only.

[00:44:52] People who.

[00:44:53] The only person.

[00:44:53] We can say for sure.

[00:44:55] Got something.

[00:44:56] That they themselves wore.

[00:44:59] Was.

[00:44:59] Jason Font.

[00:45:01] Who.

[00:45:02] Uh.

[00:45:03] Scored.

[00:45:03] A Time Force Red suit.

[00:45:05] That he.

[00:45:06] Personally.

[00:45:07] Had worn.

[00:45:07] For marketing things.

[00:45:08] That sort of thing.

[00:45:09] He said.

[00:45:10] On Instagram.

[00:45:11] That he's probably gonna.

[00:45:11] Hang it in his office.

[00:45:12] Or something.

[00:45:13] Because he has a suit.

[00:45:14] That he commissioned.

[00:45:15] From like a cosplay.

[00:45:16] Or something.

[00:45:16] That he would wear himself.

[00:45:18] You know.

[00:45:19] For photo ops.

[00:45:20] Or whatever.

[00:45:21] But he said.

[00:45:21] That it's really nice to have.

[00:45:23] Uh.

[00:45:24] I think he's maybe.

[00:45:25] One of the few.

[00:45:27] Working actors.

[00:45:28] Who is.

[00:45:29] Power Rangers alum.

[00:45:30] Who's probably able.

[00:45:31] To afford this kind of stuff.

[00:45:32] And it seems like.

[00:45:34] He's one of the.

[00:45:35] Relevant ones like.

[00:45:37] Who's not ashamed.

[00:45:38] I guess.

[00:45:38] Of being on.

[00:45:40] Power Rangers.

[00:45:40] Um.

[00:45:41] Um.

[00:45:41] He seems very proud.

[00:45:42] Like.

[00:45:44] To be a part.

[00:45:45] Like.

[00:45:45] It does mean something.

[00:45:46] To him.

[00:45:47] Just like.

[00:45:48] Danny.

[00:45:49] It does mean that he was.

[00:45:50] Lost Galaxy Red.

[00:45:51] It's in his.

[00:45:52] Uh.

[00:45:52] Office as a lawyer.

[00:45:54] Like.

[00:45:54] For it.

[00:45:55] It's.

[00:45:56] I'm happy.

[00:45:56] They were able to get that.

[00:45:57] Yeah.

[00:45:58] You know.

[00:45:58] John Toohey probably would have been.

[00:46:00] In us bidding.

[00:46:00] Bidding too.

[00:46:01] If he weren't busy right now.

[00:46:03] You know.

[00:46:04] You know.

[00:46:04] That's my.

[00:46:05] My consolation.

[00:46:06] I'm going to live with is.

[00:46:07] I may be a peasant.

[00:46:09] And unable to bid for some of these items.

[00:46:11] Meaning all of the items.

[00:46:12] But many of the actors could not either.

[00:46:14] So you know.

[00:46:15] We're all poor together.

[00:46:18] Yeah.

[00:46:19] There's.

[00:46:21] You mentioned the most expensive.

[00:46:23] Did you see the list for the least expensive.

[00:46:25] Uh.

[00:46:25] Yeah.

[00:46:26] I.

[00:46:26] You read my mind.

[00:46:28] I was just flipping it around.

[00:46:29] A group of Hengeman Spears.

[00:46:31] Went for $875.

[00:46:33] Uh.

[00:46:35] Red Ranger Cycle.

[00:46:36] Front Faring.

[00:46:37] From Dino Fury.

[00:46:38] That went for $937.50.

[00:46:40] I don't think the buyer realized.

[00:46:41] How big that thing actually is.

[00:46:43] The Caleb.

[00:46:45] The Monty's.

[00:46:46] Uh.

[00:46:46] Square body.

[00:46:47] Costume from.

[00:46:48] Uh.

[00:46:48] Seeing Ninja Steel.

[00:46:49] That went for a thousand bucks.

[00:46:52] That's wild.

[00:46:53] The group of.

[00:46:54] Paper goods.

[00:46:55] From Power Rangers.

[00:46:56] Everything from.

[00:46:57] It was basically whatever.

[00:46:58] Saban had high in the closet.

[00:47:00] Random comics.

[00:47:01] That.

[00:47:01] Halloween stuff.

[00:47:02] That sort of thing.

[00:47:04] Went for.

[00:47:05] Nearly $1,200 bucks.

[00:47:07] A pair of Mozo Razor Blasters.

[00:47:09] And Kazak Fury.

[00:47:10] Went for $1,375.

[00:47:13] Uh.

[00:47:14] Really.

[00:47:15] It's really random stuff.

[00:47:16] That's.

[00:47:17] That's.

[00:47:17] Down at the bottom of this list.

[00:47:19] Like.

[00:47:19] A Miracle's costume.

[00:47:21] And a Camille costume.

[00:47:23] Uh.

[00:47:23] The children.

[00:47:25] Yeah.

[00:47:25] Things that.

[00:47:26] The hoverboard from Ninja Steel.

[00:47:29] Yeah.

[00:47:30] And Squillia went for just $1,500.

[00:47:34] Which is a bit surprising.

[00:47:38] Uh.

[00:47:38] I don't think that.

[00:47:39] Yeah.

[00:47:39] Honestly I'm not surprised on that one.

[00:47:41] But that's me.

[00:47:42] Eh.

[00:47:43] I guess.

[00:47:44] I guess.

[00:47:44] You know.

[00:47:44] To each their own.

[00:47:46] Yeah.

[00:47:48] But.

[00:47:48] Bitter 102.

[00:47:50] Is really.

[00:47:51] Like.

[00:47:51] They seem to really first establish that they are who they say they are.

[00:47:54] With like.

[00:47:55] Photographic evidence.

[00:47:56] That sort of thing.

[00:47:58] Uh.

[00:47:58] Uh.

[00:48:00] But they were tweet.

[00:48:01] They were kind of live tweeting for a bit of it.

[00:48:03] Like.

[00:48:03] That they were going for the samurai gold costume.

[00:48:07] Or that they're leasing to cause.

[00:48:09] They actually ended up did.

[00:48:10] We just recited it.

[00:48:11] A full list of things they want.

[00:48:12] Along with photos.

[00:48:13] As long as.

[00:48:14] Once everything arrives.

[00:48:15] And also offering to.

[00:48:18] Sell certain things to cosplayers.

[00:48:20] As requested.

[00:48:21] You know.

[00:48:22] So they seem to be a good person.

[00:48:24] Um.

[00:48:24] Yeah.

[00:48:25] You know.

[00:48:25] I don't really know who they are.

[00:48:28] But.

[00:48:28] Good on them.

[00:48:30] I.

[00:48:31] I will say that.

[00:48:33] I think.

[00:48:34] A total I saw.

[00:48:35] From day one and day two.

[00:48:36] I think it reached.

[00:48:38] Three million dollars.

[00:48:39] And.

[00:48:40] 102.

[00:48:40] It did get over three million.

[00:48:41] A million.

[00:48:42] Yeah.

[00:48:42] And 102.

[00:48:43] Did confirm.

[00:48:44] What you said earlier.

[00:48:45] Rito.

[00:48:45] That they are going to have a second auction.

[00:48:47] But it's not going to be this.

[00:48:50] It may be some odds and ends.

[00:48:51] Item.

[00:48:52] Right.

[00:48:52] Like weapons.

[00:48:53] Or props.

[00:48:54] Um.

[00:48:54] That they missed out on.

[00:48:56] So not suits.

[00:48:56] More like.

[00:48:57] Oh.

[00:48:58] We missed.

[00:48:59] Angel Grove.

[00:49:01] World Peace Flyer.

[00:49:02] Things like that.

[00:49:03] That's what people should expect.

[00:49:05] Um.

[00:49:06] Maybe.

[00:49:06] There are.

[00:49:06] Yeah.

[00:49:07] Power coins.

[00:49:08] You know.

[00:49:09] And like I said.

[00:49:10] There are fans who did.

[00:49:11] Like tweet about winning certain things.

[00:49:14] And good for them.

[00:49:15] Uh.

[00:49:16] My friend Eric over at Ranger Command.

[00:49:17] Power Hour.

[00:49:19] Won a lot of three B-Sex hero weapons.

[00:49:23] Uh.

[00:49:23] I don't know often.

[00:49:25] How much he paid for those.

[00:49:27] But good for him.

[00:49:29] One of the.

[00:49:30] Uh.

[00:49:30] Uh.

[00:49:30] Morpher Lots.

[00:49:31] Did go to Morphin Museum.

[00:49:32] And uh.

[00:49:33] They figured out.

[00:49:34] Um.

[00:49:37] Where the Orbs went.

[00:49:38] And they also found.

[00:49:39] Who got Ninja Steel Gold.

[00:49:41] Which they were looking for.

[00:49:43] Uh.

[00:49:43] Uh.

[00:49:44] Oh boy.

[00:49:44] I'm just scrolling through.

[00:49:46] All the tweets about the auction.

[00:49:48] But it's good to see that.

[00:49:49] This stuff ended up in good homes.

[00:49:52] Yeah.

[00:49:52] And I know.

[00:49:54] The one I was trying to figure out.

[00:49:55] I believe it was Morphin Museum.

[00:49:57] They were trying to get like.

[00:49:59] Their Holy Grail.

[00:50:00] But they were unable to get it.

[00:50:01] But they didn't state what it was.

[00:50:03] Um.

[00:50:04] So I am curious on that.

[00:50:05] I know a friend of mine personally.

[00:50:07] He won the.

[00:50:09] Uh.

[00:50:09] Super Samurai Shogun Red Mode.

[00:50:12] Um.

[00:50:13] From the show.

[00:50:14] But he outright said.

[00:50:15] That's not what he initially bid for.

[00:50:17] He wanted Daishi.

[00:50:19] But that became a bidding war.

[00:50:20] And he said.

[00:50:21] He backed out at that point.

[00:50:22] Because he was.

[00:50:23] He knew he was not going to win.

[00:50:25] Mm.

[00:50:27] Um.

[00:50:28] Yeah.

[00:50:29] He said.

[00:50:30] Quote.

[00:50:30] It snowballed.

[00:50:32] Real fast.

[00:50:33] Real fast.

[00:50:33] Uh.

[00:50:33] Rito.

[00:50:34] I have a couple questions for you.

[00:50:36] Um.

[00:50:36] The first one is.

[00:50:37] Do you believe there were some people.

[00:50:39] They're just bidding to up the price.

[00:50:41] No.

[00:50:43] Really.

[00:50:44] I feel like there was.

[00:50:45] But.

[00:50:46] If you bid.

[00:50:46] You risk winning.

[00:50:49] That's also true.

[00:50:50] But you also.

[00:50:51] Are you legally bound to it?

[00:50:55] That's a good question.

[00:50:57] I wouldn't want to find out the answer.

[00:51:00] Sure.

[00:51:01] Um.

[00:51:02] If.

[00:51:03] Here's my second question for you.

[00:51:04] With the.

[00:51:05] The auction.

[00:51:05] If you had all the money.

[00:51:07] That you wanted to in the world.

[00:51:08] What would have been one.

[00:51:10] And I'll even say two items.

[00:51:11] You wish you could have bid on.

[00:51:13] Hmm.

[00:51:16] Um.

[00:51:21] That's a tough one.

[00:51:23] Um.

[00:51:25] The mega ship.

[00:51:27] Probably.

[00:51:29] I mean that's.

[00:51:30] That's an easy answer.

[00:51:32] Um.

[00:51:35] Second item.

[00:51:38] Probably.

[00:51:39] Doggy Kruger.

[00:51:41] Really?

[00:51:43] Yeah.

[00:51:44] Though.

[00:51:46] I don't know.

[00:51:47] Because I want something that.

[00:51:49] I would want something.

[00:51:49] You know.

[00:51:50] Would hold up.

[00:51:51] And it's clear.

[00:51:52] That.

[00:51:53] That.

[00:51:54] Amatronic.

[00:51:55] Has city miles on it.

[00:51:57] Um.

[00:51:58] It does.

[00:51:58] And I agree with you.

[00:52:00] Yeah.

[00:52:00] Um.

[00:52:01] I'm surprised it existed still.

[00:52:03] That.

[00:52:03] That I was really.

[00:52:04] Really shocked of seeing.

[00:52:05] And learning about.

[00:52:06] Yesterday.

[00:52:07] Of.

[00:52:07] Oh.

[00:52:07] They actually have doggy Kruger.

[00:52:10] Um.

[00:52:11] Yeah.

[00:52:12] Yeah.

[00:52:12] Some of this stuff did hold up.

[00:52:13] Pretty well.

[00:52:14] For over the years.

[00:52:16] But I.

[00:52:16] I guess.

[00:52:17] Like thinking.

[00:52:18] Like practically.

[00:52:19] Something that isn't foam.

[00:52:21] And maybe even isn't fabric.

[00:52:23] Would probably.

[00:52:25] Be the most.

[00:52:27] Durable.

[00:52:28] As a keepsake.

[00:52:30] Or.

[00:52:31] Or something like that.

[00:52:31] Like.

[00:52:32] You know.

[00:52:33] Like something like Rick.

[00:52:34] For example.

[00:52:35] Yeah.

[00:52:36] Or.

[00:52:36] Yeah.

[00:52:36] That's a good one.

[00:52:37] Megazord helmets.

[00:52:39] Yeah.

[00:52:39] You know.

[00:52:40] Some of these things.

[00:52:41] Did hold up remarkably well.

[00:52:42] Like.

[00:52:42] Like Necroi held up really well.

[00:52:46] Um.

[00:52:47] But you look through.

[00:52:48] Some of the pictures.

[00:52:50] And it's clear.

[00:52:51] Time has not been.

[00:52:53] As kind.

[00:52:54] To all of these.

[00:52:56] Correct.

[00:52:59] Mine.

[00:53:00] For me.

[00:53:00] That was based.

[00:53:01] What was in the auction.

[00:53:03] Because you know.

[00:53:03] I would be the generic person of.

[00:53:05] I want the dragon dagger.

[00:53:06] But then.

[00:53:07] Since it's not the original.

[00:53:09] Like JDF.

[00:53:10] Has.

[00:53:11] Oh.

[00:53:11] Well.

[00:53:11] I don't need.

[00:53:13] The once and always.

[00:53:15] I do say.

[00:53:16] If I had to bid on two items.

[00:53:17] I mean.

[00:53:18] The astromegaship.

[00:53:19] I think is everybody's.

[00:53:20] Kind of one of like.

[00:53:21] That's kind of the big.

[00:53:22] Single item for it.

[00:53:23] I would have wanted.

[00:53:24] One of the three.

[00:53:26] Z staffs.

[00:53:27] I think.

[00:53:28] That one.

[00:53:29] It went for.

[00:53:30] I think they went five.

[00:53:31] Six thousand.

[00:53:32] On there.

[00:53:32] I wonder if.

[00:53:33] If they had the one.

[00:53:34] That was repaired.

[00:53:35] With duct tape.

[00:53:36] How much would that have sold for?

[00:53:39] Oh.

[00:53:40] Man.

[00:53:40] That you know.

[00:53:41] That.

[00:53:42] That one's a deep cut.

[00:53:43] Because you think.

[00:53:43] That would easily hit over five figures.

[00:53:45] Because it is.

[00:53:46] The original one.

[00:53:48] From it.

[00:53:49] You know which episode.

[00:53:50] It was from too.

[00:53:52] Yeah.

[00:53:53] I think for the memes alone.

[00:53:55] It would have gotten.

[00:53:57] A big price.

[00:53:58] But I would have wanted.

[00:53:59] A Z staff.

[00:54:00] I also would have wanted.

[00:54:04] Probably the original.

[00:54:05] Morphers.

[00:54:06] That were up for bid.

[00:54:07] From the original series.

[00:54:09] For it.

[00:54:11] Is there anything.

[00:54:12] Is there anything.

[00:54:13] That surprised you.

[00:54:14] That wasn't in the auction.

[00:54:16] Yes.

[00:54:17] Actually.

[00:54:18] I'm very happy.

[00:54:19] You asked that question.

[00:54:20] Because I have.

[00:54:21] Two items.

[00:54:22] I am.

[00:54:24] Extremely surprised.

[00:54:25] Were not in the auction.

[00:54:27] And I searched through.

[00:54:27] The pages for it.

[00:54:28] And I either expect them.

[00:54:30] To be.

[00:54:31] In the next auction.

[00:54:32] Or not at all.

[00:54:34] Actually.

[00:54:34] Well.

[00:54:35] I have three.

[00:54:36] I'll put it that way.

[00:54:37] One of them.

[00:54:38] Is a common sense.

[00:54:38] One with it.

[00:54:39] But.

[00:54:40] The battle damaged.

[00:54:42] Quantum Ranger.

[00:54:43] Or Lost Galaxy.

[00:54:44] Red Ranger helmets.

[00:54:44] That were broken.

[00:54:47] I'm surprised.

[00:54:48] They were not part of the auction.

[00:54:50] If they.

[00:54:50] Still even exist.

[00:54:52] From when they were damaged.

[00:54:53] Like against Tratina.

[00:54:54] And all.

[00:54:54] And.

[00:54:56] Rancic.

[00:54:57] Quantum Ranger.

[00:54:58] You don't mean.

[00:54:59] Red Time Force Ranger.

[00:55:00] Yeah.

[00:55:01] Red Time Force.

[00:55:02] And.

[00:55:03] Lost Galaxy Red.

[00:55:04] Both of their helmets.

[00:55:05] That were damaged.

[00:55:06] And the final.

[00:55:06] Beast Morph.

[00:55:07] Is where we're at it.

[00:55:08] I don't remember.

[00:55:09] The Beast Morphers one.

[00:55:10] But.

[00:55:11] Add that to a lot.

[00:55:12] I'm surprised.

[00:55:13] There was no.

[00:55:14] Battle damage.

[00:55:15] Excuse me.

[00:55:16] Battle damaged items.

[00:55:19] The second one.

[00:55:20] I had.

[00:55:21] And I'll.

[00:55:21] Let.

[00:55:21] Don't let me forget.

[00:55:22] I just remembered one.

[00:55:24] But we'll circle back around.

[00:55:25] The second one.

[00:55:26] Was.

[00:55:27] Astronomers.

[00:55:27] Wrath Staff.

[00:55:28] I am surprised.

[00:55:29] That was not in the auction.

[00:55:32] Um.

[00:55:33] Uh.

[00:55:34] As well.

[00:55:35] Um.

[00:55:36] I was also.

[00:55:37] You know.

[00:55:38] One you would think.

[00:55:38] Would have been in the auction.

[00:55:40] The Zeo Crystal.

[00:55:43] I'm surprised.

[00:55:44] The Zeo Crystal.

[00:55:45] Was not part of the auction.

[00:55:46] Um.

[00:55:47] I was surprised.

[00:55:49] That.

[00:55:49] There wasn't.

[00:55:51] More stuff.

[00:55:52] From the.

[00:55:54] Sister shows.

[00:55:56] Like.

[00:55:57] You would think.

[00:55:58] That.

[00:55:59] Given.

[00:56:01] Like.

[00:56:01] Given the way.

[00:56:02] That all these materials.

[00:56:03] Have changed hands.

[00:56:04] Over the years.

[00:56:07] Uh.

[00:56:07] That there would still.

[00:56:09] Be something from like.

[00:56:10] VR Troopers.

[00:56:11] Kicking around.

[00:56:12] Or.

[00:56:12] Mystic Knights.

[00:56:15] I agree.

[00:56:16] Um.

[00:56:16] And I think.

[00:56:17] Um.

[00:56:17] Yeah.

[00:56:18] I almost suspect.

[00:56:20] Those are going to be the items.

[00:56:22] In the next auction.

[00:56:24] Um.

[00:56:24] Those are weapons.

[00:56:26] It's also possible.

[00:56:26] Everything Mystic Knights.

[00:56:28] Was.

[00:56:28] You know.

[00:56:29] Uh.

[00:56:30] Sold off in Ireland.

[00:56:32] You know.

[00:56:32] We don't know.

[00:56:32] Yeah.

[00:56:33] Yeah.

[00:56:34] Um.

[00:56:35] So yeah.

[00:56:36] The battle damage helmets.

[00:56:37] The Wrath Staff.

[00:56:38] The Zeo Crystal.

[00:56:39] There was two more.

[00:56:40] That actually just came to me.

[00:56:42] That I was also.

[00:56:43] Very surprised.

[00:56:44] And one I do not expect.

[00:56:46] In the next auction.

[00:56:47] Um.

[00:56:48] Dark Specter.

[00:56:48] Slash Malagor.

[00:56:49] If it exists.

[00:56:51] Still.

[00:56:51] I am very surprised.

[00:56:52] That it is not.

[00:56:54] Uh.

[00:56:55] Was not part of the auction.

[00:56:57] I would also.

[00:56:58] Yeah.

[00:56:59] To that.

[00:57:00] Um.

[00:57:00] Battleizers.

[00:57:02] Very shocked.

[00:57:03] Yeah.

[00:57:04] We know that a lot of things.

[00:57:06] Were.

[00:57:06] Thrown in the wood chipper.

[00:57:08] Around SPD.

[00:57:10] Uh.

[00:57:12] And probably after SPD as well.

[00:57:15] So.

[00:57:16] That is.

[00:57:17] Also correct.

[00:57:18] I know the original Wrath Staff.

[00:57:20] Does exist.

[00:57:21] Because.

[00:57:23] Melody Perkins.

[00:57:24] Used pictures with it.

[00:57:25] Her and.

[00:57:25] Um.

[00:57:26] Hillary Shepard.

[00:57:27] When they did like.

[00:57:27] The Diva Talks.

[00:57:28] Astronomy.

[00:57:29] Tag Team Duo.

[00:57:30] That was the original.

[00:57:31] So.

[00:57:32] It does exist.

[00:57:33] Somewhere.

[00:57:33] This stuff may already be in like.

[00:57:36] Private collections or something.

[00:57:37] Correct.

[00:57:38] And I do keep that in mind.

[00:57:40] Of.

[00:57:40] That one.

[00:57:41] Um.

[00:57:41] The Zeo Crystal one.

[00:57:42] To me.

[00:57:43] That would be the biggest shocker.

[00:57:44] Because that's kind of like.

[00:57:45] What happened to it?

[00:57:46] Maybe it went in the wood chipper.

[00:57:48] Um.

[00:57:48] I mean.

[00:57:49] Maybe it was thrown in a portal.

[00:57:51] It might have been.

[00:57:53] Um.

[00:57:53] It was split up and thrown in a portal.

[00:57:55] And we all have to go on personal journeys.

[00:57:57] Of self-discovery.

[00:57:58] You know.

[00:57:58] With our ancestors or something.

[00:58:00] So that's how we.

[00:58:02] Uh.

[00:58:03] Revive the franchise.

[00:58:04] It's been in front of us this entire time.

[00:58:06] Rito.

[00:58:06] Um.

[00:58:07] Melissa Flores just tweeted.

[00:58:09] Whoever got my BB Goldar.

[00:58:10] In the heritage auction.

[00:58:12] Please take good care of him.

[00:58:13] He sat in my office well over a year.

[00:58:15] While I tried to get his mouth fixed.

[00:58:17] And never managed it.

[00:58:18] Be kind to my growly boy.

[00:58:21] Oh.

[00:58:22] See.

[00:58:23] That.

[00:58:23] I mean.

[00:58:24] I have to say it Rito.

[00:58:25] Um.

[00:58:25] And I know it will be disagreements with it.

[00:58:28] Um.

[00:58:28] Obligatory.

[00:58:29] This was not a normal auction.

[00:58:31] Because there's too many people.

[00:58:32] Pointing that out.

[00:58:33] Regardless.

[00:58:33] Um.

[00:58:34] But yeah.

[00:58:34] Those were the items that.

[00:58:35] I was genuinely surprised.

[00:58:38] That they did not make it to the auction.

[00:58:40] And maybe they're in the next one.

[00:58:42] Um.

[00:58:42] We already kind of mentioned like.

[00:58:44] The.

[00:58:45] The items that threw us off.

[00:58:47] That went for large amounts.

[00:58:48] Like.

[00:58:48] The Thunder Megazord head.

[00:58:50] The Cosmic Fury blaster.

[00:58:51] And also.

[00:58:52] That's a side note.

[00:58:52] I understand too.

[00:58:53] There's going to be stuff that doesn't exist.

[00:58:56] Um.

[00:58:56] I fully expected not to see the true Rito Revolto.

[00:58:59] Like costume.

[00:59:00] Because that thing.

[00:59:00] Oh.

[00:59:01] That's very gone.

[00:59:01] Yeah.

[00:59:02] Yeah.

[00:59:02] It's very gone.

[00:59:03] That's why he wasn't in a countdown to destruction.

[00:59:05] Correct.

[00:59:06] The Twitter user.

[00:59:07] The Twitter user.

[00:59:08] Actually has a thread going of.

[00:59:10] Who is willing to say.

[00:59:12] You know.

[00:59:12] What they won.

[00:59:14] Um.

[00:59:15] Which is really.

[00:59:16] Really heartwarming.

[00:59:18] Well.

[00:59:19] It's also too.

[00:59:19] The um.

[00:59:21] Rito Revolta was one of those.

[00:59:22] I saw someone that said.

[00:59:23] Why.

[00:59:24] If Goldor was there.

[00:59:25] They didn't realize that.

[00:59:26] Yeah.

[00:59:26] He decomposed a long time ago.

[00:59:29] Unrelated to being a skeleton.

[00:59:30] Yeah.

[00:59:31] He's not even a pile of bones.

[00:59:32] The bones are gone.

[00:59:33] Unkind.

[00:59:34] Yeah.

[00:59:34] Yeah.

[00:59:35] Some people didn't realize.

[00:59:36] Like some of this stuff.

[00:59:37] Like decomposed hardcore.

[00:59:39] The other one was Dark Honda.

[00:59:40] Like I'm not surprised.

[00:59:41] Like that costume was already.

[00:59:43] Very very delicate as it was.

[00:59:45] Um.

[00:59:46] I'm not surprised.

[00:59:46] There's no Dark Honda.

[00:59:48] But they live on.

[00:59:48] In art.

[00:59:49] They live on.

[00:59:50] In uh.

[00:59:51] Other franchises.

[00:59:52] Um.

[00:59:53] But yeah.

[00:59:53] That was the things I was surprised at.

[00:59:55] Um.

[00:59:56] Not to sound mean.

[00:59:58] I'm not surprised Hunter didn't get her suit.

[01:00:01] Um.

[01:00:02] When you put it out there.

[01:00:04] Or when Power Morphicon promotes it.

[01:00:06] Kind of not surprised people bid.

[01:00:08] Just for that reason.

[01:00:09] Just so they didn't get it.

[01:00:10] There's.

[01:00:11] There's bad people out there.

[01:00:12] Don't get me wrong.

[01:00:13] But I'm not surprised she did not win it.

[01:00:15] Um.

[01:00:15] I will be up front too.

[01:00:16] I would not have to do that.

[01:00:17] I don't think she never told people not to bid though.

[01:00:19] None of the people who.

[01:00:21] Power Morphicon was telling people not to bid on their stuff.

[01:00:23] Ever told people not to bid.

[01:00:25] And it is a whole thing.

[01:00:26] It's really.

[01:00:28] Embarrassing.

[01:00:28] And.

[01:00:29] A bad look for Power Morphicon.

[01:00:31] Uh.

[01:00:33] Whatever.

[01:00:34] It's all in the past now.

[01:00:36] That too.

[01:00:37] Um.

[01:00:38] I will say too.

[01:00:39] I'm not.

[01:00:40] Um.

[01:00:41] Uh.

[01:00:42] We joked about it prior.

[01:00:43] We just never got around to it.

[01:00:44] Having bingo cards.

[01:00:46] Of what would sell.

[01:00:46] What wouldn't.

[01:00:47] I wouldn't have bingoed.

[01:00:48] There's two.

[01:00:49] There were so many unknown factors going into it.

[01:00:51] I may have been like.

[01:00:52] Everything did sell.

[01:00:52] I don't.

[01:00:54] Correct.

[01:00:54] I would have been like.

[01:00:55] Uh.

[01:00:56] Oh.

[01:00:56] The dragon dagger would have been the highest bid item.

[01:00:58] No.

[01:00:59] Turns out that.

[01:01:00] Uh.

[01:01:00] The cosmic blaster would not have bingo.

[01:01:02] And.

[01:01:03] Uh.

[01:01:03] The same guy.

[01:01:04] Won.

[01:01:05] Olympia super demon form.

[01:01:08] Spellbinder from Dino Charge.

[01:01:09] Wolfgang Dino Fury.

[01:01:10] And Robo Snizzard.

[01:01:11] And Robo Minotaur.

[01:01:13] From Once and Always.

[01:01:15] I.

[01:01:15] Again.

[01:01:16] I'm not doing math.

[01:01:17] But that's a lot of.

[01:01:17] That's a lot of money.

[01:01:19] And that's.

[01:01:20] Not even including the guarantees and stuff.

[01:01:22] That 25.

[01:01:23] Or.

[01:01:23] Yeah.

[01:01:24] What was it?

[01:01:24] 20% extra add on.

[01:01:26] 25.

[01:01:26] Yeah.

[01:01:27] Yeah.

[01:01:28] Like.

[01:01:28] Yikes.

[01:01:30] Um.

[01:01:31] I would be curious.

[01:01:32] It was something I wanted to do for this live stream.

[01:01:34] Or live stream.

[01:01:35] Um.

[01:01:35] Podcast recording.

[01:01:36] Reto.

[01:01:37] But I never.

[01:01:38] Since the auction was still going today.

[01:01:39] There was no way to do it.

[01:01:41] I am curious.

[01:01:43] What the breakdown of each.

[01:01:45] Each thing is going to be.

[01:01:47] If you isolated each item.

[01:01:48] For its own season.

[01:01:50] Or for what it was.

[01:01:51] What were kind of the most popular ones.

[01:01:53] Like.

[01:01:54] I know Mighty Morphin sold the most.

[01:01:56] I guess where I'm going with that is.

[01:01:58] I'm not surprised on the items.

[01:02:00] I've seen breakdowns in terms of net.

[01:02:00] Like.

[01:02:01] Revenue.

[01:02:02] But.

[01:02:03] That doesn't really tell you a whole lot.

[01:02:06] I'll put it this way.

[01:02:07] I'm.

[01:02:07] I'm not surprised that the fan favorite seasons.

[01:02:11] Had stuff that went for large amounts of money.

[01:02:14] Especially for individual.

[01:02:15] Individual items.

[01:02:16] Except for Cosmic Fury.

[01:02:17] That one actually surprised me a whole lot.

[01:02:20] I also keep in mind.

[01:02:22] Like.

[01:02:22] Not every season.

[01:02:23] Had a lot of items that were up for grabs.

[01:02:26] Such as.

[01:02:27] Lightspeed Rescue.

[01:02:28] Did not have a lot of items.

[01:02:30] Um.

[01:02:30] Lost Galaxy had one.

[01:02:32] I think what.

[01:02:32] One Quasar Saber.

[01:02:34] There was not a lot.

[01:02:35] So I keep that in mind as well.

[01:02:37] It's not a true judgment of it.

[01:02:39] But I would be curious.

[01:02:40] Of each individual season.

[01:02:42] Like.

[01:02:42] What the average price of each item was.

[01:02:45] Especially if you excluded the big.

[01:02:47] Like Cosmic Fury.

[01:02:48] If we took the blaster out.

[01:02:49] What is the actual.

[01:02:51] Selling point for each one.

[01:02:52] For it.

[01:02:52] Because when you look at it.

[01:02:54] Honestly.

[01:02:55] Outside of the big ticket items.

[01:02:57] That everybody would want for it.

[01:02:59] Prices were kind of reasonable on stuff.

[01:03:01] Especially the monsters.

[01:03:02] The monsters.

[01:03:03] I think everybody was surprised at as well.

[01:03:05] And you know.

[01:03:05] Some of those people are going to.

[01:03:07] Want to wear those at cons.

[01:03:08] Despite us knowing like.

[01:03:10] That.

[01:03:10] That needs to be in a museum.

[01:03:12] They're going to wear them.

[01:03:13] At least once.

[01:03:14] Let's be honest.

[01:03:15] Whoever wears any of this stuff.

[01:03:16] Is an.

[01:03:17] I don't know.

[01:03:18] I mean.

[01:03:19] They're not meant to be worn.

[01:03:21] They're psychopathic.

[01:03:22] Even if they were worn.

[01:03:25] The ranger suits are.

[01:03:27] Right.

[01:03:28] But I mean.

[01:03:28] Well.

[01:03:29] I mean.

[01:03:29] Like if you're buying something.

[01:03:31] That's like screen used.

[01:03:32] And you wear that to a convention.

[01:03:35] If anything happens to it.

[01:03:37] You know.

[01:03:38] Congratulations.

[01:03:40] Correct.

[01:03:40] Never doubt humanity being stupid though.

[01:03:44] So moving on.

[01:03:45] When comics do.

[01:03:46] Is Power Rangers Prime number one.

[01:03:47] Is out.

[01:03:48] This is the new.

[01:03:49] Power Rangers comic line.

[01:03:51] It's totally new storyline.

[01:03:53] All that.

[01:03:54] It is a remix.

[01:03:56] Of the things that we think we know.

[01:03:57] About the Power Rangers universe.

[01:03:59] With a new.

[01:04:00] New story.

[01:04:01] New characters.

[01:04:02] All of it.

[01:04:05] Empowered.

[01:04:06] It's almost like the.

[01:04:07] An ultimate.

[01:04:09] It's like.

[01:04:10] Marvel's ultimate universe.

[01:04:12] Like.

[01:04:12] It's almost their version.

[01:04:13] Of.

[01:04:14] Taking the lore.

[01:04:15] And the history.

[01:04:15] And then kind of like.

[01:04:16] Rebooting it.

[01:04:17] In.

[01:04:18] The world of Prime.

[01:04:20] Earth has been colonized.

[01:04:22] By the Altarians.

[01:04:23] As kind of a.

[01:04:24] A police state.

[01:04:26] And.

[01:04:27] Lauren.

[01:04:29] Jane's sister.

[01:04:30] Who.

[01:04:31] Does in this.

[01:04:32] Story.

[01:04:33] Have the power to morph.

[01:04:34] All that.

[01:04:35] Gets flung into.

[01:04:36] This world.

[01:04:38] And.

[01:04:40] Finds herself.

[01:04:42] Kind of.

[01:04:42] In the care.

[01:04:43] Of.

[01:04:44] This.

[01:04:45] Teenager.

[01:04:47] And kind of.

[01:04:48] Protected from the Earth Security Task Force.

[01:04:50] Which again.

[01:04:50] Are these jackboots.

[01:04:51] Who.

[01:04:52] You know.

[01:04:52] Roamed the streets.

[01:04:53] Of Angel Grove.

[01:04:54] And all that.

[01:04:55] The big twist.

[01:04:57] Of.

[01:04:58] This first issue.

[01:04:59] Is that.

[01:05:00] The troopers.

[01:05:01] Referred to.

[01:05:03] Turn out to be.

[01:05:04] The VR troopers.

[01:05:05] And.

[01:05:07] That is a very.

[01:05:09] Curve.

[01:05:10] That is a curveball development.

[01:05:12] And I.

[01:05:12] Don't think anybody.

[01:05:13] Really expect to see.

[01:05:14] The VR troopers.

[01:05:15] In one of these.

[01:05:18] Well.

[01:05:18] I mean.

[01:05:18] Let's be honest.

[01:05:19] We can outright say.

[01:05:20] If anybody says.

[01:05:20] They were expecting it.

[01:05:21] You're a liar.

[01:05:22] Liar.

[01:05:23] And the comic.

[01:05:24] You are a blatant liar.

[01:05:26] And the comic.

[01:05:27] And spoilers.

[01:05:28] With.

[01:05:29] Rita Ropulsa.

[01:05:31] Her.

[01:05:32] Dumpster.

[01:05:33] Coming down to Earth.

[01:05:34] Like a meteor.

[01:05:36] And her.

[01:05:37] Popping out of it.

[01:05:38] After all these years.

[01:05:39] I'm free.

[01:05:40] And.

[01:05:41] We will see.

[01:05:42] What happens.

[01:05:42] In issue two.

[01:05:43] There actually was.

[01:05:44] A preview.

[01:05:46] For issue two.

[01:05:47] That came out.

[01:05:48] From boom.

[01:05:52] The.

[01:05:53] First look.

[01:05:55] Synopsis.

[01:05:56] Says.

[01:05:57] The new morph novel.

[01:05:58] Era.

[01:05:58] Continues in the second.

[01:05:59] Action packed issue.

[01:06:00] Of Power Rangers Prime.

[01:06:01] Conflicts merge.

[01:06:02] Around a future.

[01:06:03] The ranger.

[01:06:03] Drawing another iconic team.

[01:06:05] And setting up a world.

[01:06:06] Colliding crossover.

[01:06:07] The fans have been theorizing about.

[01:06:08] For years.

[01:06:10] Meanwhile.

[01:06:10] A fan favorite villain.

[01:06:12] Has uncovered.

[01:06:12] The remnants of a samurizer.

[01:06:14] And the latent.

[01:06:14] Morphin energy.

[01:06:15] Could unleash a power.

[01:06:16] Unlike anything.

[01:06:17] The universe has ever seen.

[01:06:18] Now if you read.

[01:06:19] The first issue.

[01:06:20] Then you can probably.

[01:06:21] Imagine who that.

[01:06:22] That future.

[01:06:23] The ranger is.

[01:06:25] Crossover.

[01:06:27] Fan favorite villain.

[01:06:29] So.

[01:06:30] I really like where this is going.

[01:06:32] The first issue.

[01:06:33] Is already sold out.

[01:06:34] Big time.

[01:06:35] Everywhere.

[01:06:35] So.

[01:06:36] If you want it.

[01:06:37] You're going to have to.

[01:06:38] Either go online.

[01:06:39] Or.

[01:06:39] Wait for your comic.

[01:06:41] Book shop.

[01:06:42] To stock the second printing.

[01:06:43] Or you can get it digitally.

[01:06:45] You know.

[01:06:45] Do whatever.

[01:06:47] Yeah.

[01:06:49] Yeah.

[01:06:50] I like where.

[01:06:51] They're going with it.

[01:06:52] I do like that.

[01:06:53] It's its own thing.

[01:06:54] Not necessarily.

[01:06:56] Just another rehash.

[01:06:58] Or something.

[01:06:58] It really tries to branch out.

[01:07:00] And be its own.

[01:07:01] Type of.

[01:07:03] Story.

[01:07:04] And I do like that.

[01:07:05] Lauren is getting.

[01:07:06] Attention again.

[01:07:07] Because.

[01:07:08] She was a very popular character.

[01:07:09] In the initial.

[01:07:10] Like comics.

[01:07:11] And then they had to move away.

[01:07:12] From Lauren.

[01:07:13] For it.

[01:07:13] So it's good to see Lauren back.

[01:07:16] Yeah.

[01:07:16] Yeah.

[01:07:17] And I really like.

[01:07:18] You know.

[01:07:18] That's a clean slate.

[01:07:19] They could basically do whatever.

[01:07:20] And also.

[01:07:20] Again.

[01:07:21] Creates room.

[01:07:22] For.

[01:07:23] You know.

[01:07:23] Surprises.

[01:07:24] Like.

[01:07:24] The VR troopers.

[01:07:25] It'll be interesting to see how.

[01:07:27] How Ryan.

[01:07:28] And the rest.

[01:07:29] Are.

[01:07:29] Are characterized.

[01:07:31] In this new run.

[01:07:32] And.

[01:07:33] You know.

[01:07:33] Whether they are.

[01:07:34] In the end.

[01:07:34] Friend or foe.

[01:07:37] All I ask.

[01:07:39] If they're going to do.

[01:07:40] VR troopers.

[01:07:41] All right boys.

[01:07:41] This is your opportunity.

[01:07:43] Make the mystic knights.

[01:07:45] Canon.

[01:07:45] Make them ancient rangers.

[01:07:47] You have the ability.

[01:07:48] To do so guys.

[01:07:50] Don't let us down.

[01:07:52] And.

[01:07:52] Also.

[01:07:53] I guess.

[01:07:54] Related.

[01:07:54] Announcement.

[01:07:55] Free comic book day.

[01:07:56] The.

[01:07:57] Free comic book.

[01:07:58] For power rangers.

[01:08:00] Is a VR troopers comic.

[01:08:02] And that is really all we know.

[01:08:04] There's no artwork yet.

[01:08:05] Or anything.

[01:08:06] But free comic book day.

[01:08:07] Is May 3rd.

[01:08:08] Of next year.

[01:08:10] And.

[01:08:11] Well.

[01:08:11] And.

[01:08:11] We do know too.

[01:08:12] That.

[01:08:14] We have the official title of it.

[01:08:16] We do know that.

[01:08:17] Well.

[01:08:18] Do we have the title?

[01:08:19] All we have.

[01:08:20] Is synopsis.

[01:08:21] Which is.

[01:08:22] After 30 years.

[01:08:22] The VR troopers.

[01:08:23] Are back in bed.

[01:08:24] Or never.

[01:08:24] After making a long way.

[01:08:25] To return to the page.

[01:08:26] Of Power Rangers Prime.

[01:08:27] This issue.

[01:08:28] Will give fans.

[01:08:28] A sneak peek.

[01:08:29] In a new era.

[01:08:29] Virtual reality.

[01:08:31] Powered action.

[01:08:32] Alongside a special flip book.

[01:08:34] Calling back to the original.

[01:08:35] 1995 comics.

[01:08:37] Yeah.

[01:08:37] The official title for it.

[01:08:39] We don't have the subtitle.

[01:08:40] But it's the VR troopers.

[01:08:42] Versus the Power Rangers.

[01:08:43] Okie dokie.

[01:08:44] We do have that.

[01:08:46] From it.

[01:08:46] But that's about it.

[01:08:48] Side note.

[01:08:49] Speaking of comics too.

[01:08:51] Another person revealed.

[01:08:53] I can never say his last name.

[01:08:56] So I apologize to this individual.

[01:08:58] But the.

[01:08:59] The writer for the Phantom Ranger comic.

[01:09:02] Yeah.

[01:09:02] I saw that.

[01:09:03] Frank Gogol.

[01:09:04] Yeah.

[01:09:04] He got the Phantom Ranger comic.

[01:09:06] Yeah.

[01:09:07] Yeah.

[01:09:07] Good for him.

[01:09:08] I guess that's exactly.

[01:09:10] He loves the Phantom Ranger.

[01:09:11] But it's close enough.

[01:09:13] Yeah.

[01:09:14] And now he could finally tell us.

[01:09:16] Is Billy really.

[01:09:18] The Phantom Ranger.

[01:09:20] Or was he not?

[01:09:21] No.

[01:09:22] That's a deep joke.

[01:09:24] But.

[01:09:25] I just saw that.

[01:09:26] Passing through.

[01:09:27] The people who do want to make themselves.

[01:09:29] Know like they did win this stuff.

[01:09:31] And he'll take care of it.

[01:09:32] So that's.

[01:09:33] I'm glad the Phantom Ranger went to a good home.

[01:09:37] And also.

[01:09:38] Across the Morphin Grid came out recently.

[01:09:40] Have you had a chance to read it?

[01:09:43] I have not.

[01:09:44] It's on a pile of comics alongside.

[01:09:48] Feral.

[01:09:49] Godzilla vs. Power Rangers Part 2.

[01:09:52] What else do I have?

[01:09:53] So My Little Pony.

[01:09:54] Like.

[01:09:55] Things I need to just sit down and read.

[01:09:57] It's been a busy time for myself.

[01:09:59] Did you know we had 6am tornadoes the past two weeks?

[01:10:01] Okay.

[01:10:02] Type of busy.

[01:10:02] Well I'm glad you're safe.

[01:10:04] Yeah.

[01:10:04] But it's a very charming collection of stories.

[01:10:07] Told by.

[01:10:08] Again.

[01:10:09] These actors.

[01:10:10] David Yost.

[01:10:12] Steve Cardenas.

[01:10:13] Nakia Barice.

[01:10:14] Walter Jones.

[01:10:14] And Megan Camarena.

[01:10:16] That.

[01:10:18] Look at either.

[01:10:19] What their characters did after.

[01:10:22] You know.

[01:10:22] Moving on from rangerdom.

[01:10:25] Maybe filling in some gaps in their own stories.

[01:10:29] The Rocky story.

[01:10:31] Which is co-written with Matt Groom.

[01:10:32] Is kind of a side story.

[01:10:35] About Rocky's younger sister.

[01:10:37] Who discovers that he's a ranger.

[01:10:40] And steals his morpher.

[01:10:41] And decides to go.

[01:10:43] Do.

[01:10:43] Try to do ranger things.

[01:10:46] Uh.

[01:10:46] And the Chloe story.

[01:10:48] Which is written by Megan Camarena.

[01:10:50] It's just a fun little side story.

[01:10:52] With her and Vesper.

[01:10:55] Making candy burritos.

[01:10:57] What did you think of it?

[01:10:58] Did you like it?

[01:10:59] Oh yeah.

[01:11:00] It's a bunch of fun.

[01:11:02] Cool.

[01:11:03] Yeah.

[01:11:03] I'll have to.

[01:11:04] Maybe bump that up my.

[01:11:07] Uh.

[01:11:09] Reading list.

[01:11:10] Yeah.

[01:11:10] Your comic shop might be out of it.

[01:11:12] I know mine was.

[01:11:13] But.

[01:11:13] You can just get it.

[01:11:14] Oh I have it.

[01:11:16] Okay.

[01:11:16] Yeah.

[01:11:17] Yeah.

[01:11:17] But definitely give it a read.

[01:11:19] So.

[01:11:20] Anyway.

[01:11:21] Other than that.

[01:11:21] I think we are.

[01:11:23] Uh.

[01:11:25] I.

[01:11:25] I think that's pretty much all we had to talk about.

[01:11:28] Uh.

[01:11:29] Anything else you got.

[01:11:30] Plug.

[01:11:32] No guys.

[01:11:33] Um.

[01:11:33] Um.

[01:11:34] Uh.

[01:11:34] As.

[01:11:34] Rito usually says.

[01:11:35] You can find me on Twitter.

[01:11:36] But I'm slowly moving away from Twitter.

[01:11:38] Um.

[01:11:39] I'm slowly moving away from Twitter.

[01:11:39] Definitely.

[01:11:40] I.

[01:11:41] Um.

[01:11:41] You can find me at Blue Sky.

[01:11:43] Blue Sky.

[01:11:43] You can start.

[01:11:49] Going forward.

[01:11:50] I might have to start re-recording our outro.

[01:11:51] I don't know.

[01:11:52] I haven't really thought about that yet.

[01:11:55] Yeah.

[01:11:55] Sorry to add.

[01:11:56] Some more stuff to that.

[01:11:57] Rito.

[01:11:58] But yeah.

[01:11:58] Um.

[01:11:59] I'm going to be focused on Blue Sky.

[01:12:00] But I am going to.

[01:12:02] Kind of have two accounts.

[01:12:03] Where one's just for football.

[01:12:05] And then one's for like.

[01:12:06] Comic cons.

[01:12:07] And just generic stuff.

[01:12:08] Because.

[01:12:09] The fandoms don't cross over nearly as much as I would want.

[01:12:12] But beggars can't be choosers as well.

[01:12:14] So.

[01:12:14] Uh.

[01:12:15] But yeah.

[01:12:15] You'll be able to find me on Blue Sky.

[01:12:17] Other than that.

[01:12:37] Uh.

[01:12:38] Ranger actors.

[01:12:39] That are not your usual suspects.

[01:12:41] Like Mighty Morphin and stuff.

[01:12:43] To do convention appearances.

[01:12:45] And so far.

[01:12:46] If I can find it.

[01:12:47] Very briefly.

[01:12:48] Before we wrap up.

[01:12:54] And a couple others.

[01:12:55] Have signed on to.

[01:12:59] Make tours around the United States.

[01:13:00] So I think.

[01:13:01] You know.

[01:13:01] People are excited for some of those.

[01:13:02] Later seasons.

[01:13:14] At conventions.

[01:13:15] And hear their stories.
