PRESS RELEASE: Power Morphicon Express Is Hitting the Road

Power Morphicon Express

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

August 18th 2018 – ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: Just announced at the Official Power Morphicon Convention, a BRAND-NEW traveling version of Power Morphicon called POWER MORPHICON EXPRESS will be hitting the road. It will take the fun and excitement of the original Power Morphicon Convention and bring the largest official Power Rangers fan convention to life in a collection of new cities.

Power Morphicon Convention is the biggest and only officially recognized Power Rangers fan convention in the world since 2007. It has been led by veteran convention and show runner Scott Zillner since its second expo in 2010. Now after six explosively successful shows, Power Morphicon Convention is ready to take the express route.

Jason David Frank, best know as Tommy Oliver (the original Green Ranger and most popular and active actor over the course of the show’s 25-year run), will lead the show across various cities, making sure that everyone has the opportunity to get in on the Power Rangers Convention fun and adventures. Just like the large-scale show which takes place every two years in Southern California, Power Morphicon Express will give fans the opportunity to meet a collection of their favorite Power Rangers actors, hear them speak in panels, buy incredible merchandise in the vendor hall, and see Power Rangers inspired art by local artists.

Power Morphicon Express will hit the road in 2019 with its first stop scheduled in Pasadena, Texas.

SITE NEWS – July 2018 Hiatus

RCPH Announcement – July 2018 Hiatus

 

July will be a month long hiatus for Ranger Command. After almost 5 years of consistent content, host Eric (@trekkieb47) needs a small break to refocus and refresh the podcast. We will still be active on social media and have some cool contests and announcements in July.

Ranger Command is definitely not going away. There are great and exciting things happening for Power Rangers and Hasbro to carry it past the 25th Anniversary and into the 30th (hopefully). And RCPH will be there for it all.

To our Patrons: We will be pausing our Patreon Page so supporters will not be billed on August 1st for July’s hiatus. Thank you for your continued support as we catch up on raffle prizes and side content.

Enjoy the Fourth of July!
