WHO: Saban’s Power Rangers

WHEN:  Thursday, August 6 – Sunday, August 9

WHERE: Ashton Court Estate, Bristol, England

WHAT: For the first time ever Saban’s Power Rangers participated in the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. As one of the largest balloon festivals in the world, an estimated 500,000 spectators were in attendance and watching as more than 100 hot air balloons took to the skies during the four-day celebration. Saban’s Power Rangers debuted two brand-new Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers balloons at the festival’s Night Glow event on Thursday evening. As the only brand with two balloons featured in the event, the Power Rangers balloons were designed in the likeness of the iconic Red and Pink Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers helmets. Visitors of the festival were also able to watch the Power Rangers balloon teams prep, inflate, launch and land the POWERED UP balloons throughout the remaining three days of the event.

“The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is a weekend of non-stop family fun, which is a perfect fit for Saban’s Power Rangers brand,” said Gustavo Antonioni, Managing Director, Consumer Products EMEA at Saban Brands. “The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers are a pop-culture phenomenon and fans of all ages loved seeing the larger-than-life Red and Pink Ranger balloons flying high in the sky.”

U.K. fans can tune-in to Saban’s Power Rangers Super Megaforce airing daily on POP at 8:30 a.m. and Kix at 12 p.m. The all-new season, Power Rangers Dino Charge, will debut August 31 at 7:30 a.m. on POP.

It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47 @secretrangerfan & @TheCinemaSlob as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

On July 11th, host @trekkieb47 attended G-Fest 22. G-FEST is a family-oriented convention which caters to a wide variety of interests within the kaiju genre. It is the largest regular gathering of Godzilla and Japanese monster fans in the world. Held every summer, it typically attracts more than 1000 attendees and has seen a gradual increase in attendance over the past few years.

In this episode we present Noboru Kaneko‘s panel in its entirety. Noboru-san played the character of Kakeru who transformed into Blazing Lion, GaoRed, leader of the Gaorangers. Gaoranger was Toei Company’s twenty-fifth production of the Super Sentai series, which aired in 2001, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the franchise. For Godzilla fans, Mr. Noboru is best known for his role as lead scientist Yoshito Chujo in Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.

Speaking of Tokyo S.O.S, at the end of Noboru’s panel we are including panel highlights from Masaaki Tezuka, Director for the Godzilla Millennium Series movies Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.

Enjoy the show!

Megazord National Toy Hall of Fame

There’s no doubt that the original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Megazord is iconic. Over the years, this toy has been produced multiple times in different incarnations. Even this year we’ve got the Imaginext version, a reissue of last year’s Legacy version and an upcoming Black and Gold Edition.

Now, Saban Brands has tasked Ranger Nation to help them induct nominate the iconic Power Rangers Megazord for the National Toy Hall of Fame!

Every year the National Toy Hall of Fame inducts two classic toys that have continuously delighted both younger and older generations. And what toy is more LEGENDARY than the Power Rangers Megazord? This toy was truly the first of its kind and has continued to be a fan-favorite, reinvigorated with each new Power Rangers theme over the past 22 years.

Saban Brands is asking the Power Force and all of Ranger Nation to work together to cement the Megazord’s place in toy history at the November 2015 National Toy Hall of Fame induction.

To be a part of this EPIC Power Rangers history-making event, visit http://www.toyhalloffame.org/nominate and nominate the Power Rangers Megazord before the end of July!

Together we can make Power Rangers history!
