Ranger Command Power Hour Episode 197

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

On this episode, hosts Eric and Zach are joined by Josh (@KentuckyJAM) and Kenn (@TheKennGlenn) to discuss Hasbro’s Fan First Tuesday for Power Rangers.

We catch up on the news that wasn’t discussed on Tuesday including BOOM! Studios’ “Charge to 100” event, Lightning Collection Red Ecliptor and the Retro Megazord Wave 2 collection. Then, it’s our reaction to the very short Fan First Tuesday (13 minutes!).

How could Hasbro have better prepared for fan backlash? Were expectations too high going into the event? What was up with Power Ranger’s tweet before the event? What does Kenn have to apologize for?

We talk about all of the products featured on the stream including the Lord Drakkon helmet, Color Swap 2-pack, the final wave of Ninja Rangers, Party City Piñatas, the Power Sword, ZAP Dragonzord and more. We give our predictions of the future and how things could have been done better.

Finally, we read your thoughts about the event.

But for them, it was just a Tuesday…
