SDCC

It’s time to Ranger Up with your hosts as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

We break the hiatus to talk about San Diego Comic Con before the show! Host Eric (@trekkieb47) is joined by Chris (@TokuChris), a soon to be 5-time veteran of SDCC, to discuss the convention and the news of Power Rangers exclusives from Bandai, Hasbro, Entertainment Earth, Boom Studios, Bluefin / Tamashii Nations and BAIT Collectibles.

Eric and Chris answer listener questions about the convention including balancing nerding out versus covering the show, will actual fans get the exclusives or is it just for scalpers, and what can SDCC improve or is this the show to end all shows?

Stay tuned next week as we will be at San Diego Comic Con!

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!
