Eric, A.P. and Zach discuss the Power Rangers non-news of the week and review everything Power Rangers related from this year’s Hasbro PulseCon!
“Non-News”? Yeah… we talk about some “leaks” that aren’t true. Come on Ranger Nation, we’re better than that.
The rest of this is all about Hasbro PulseCon! From the Dino Fury cast interview, to all of the product reveals for Lightning Collection, comics and… yes, we talk about the NFT Megazord. What the heck is an NFT? Why is this a bad move for Power Rangers? We break all of it down. We also talk about the Hasbro Pulse Premium 1027 event and the In-Space Silver non-announcement. Finally, we ask our audience their favorite reveal or news item from Hasbro Pulse Con.
