Happy Birthday (two weeks ago) to host Eric, because Fan First Friday delivered a lot of news regarding the Lightning Collection and the Dino Fury toy line!
We recap it all including Power Morphicon Light Collection reveal, the Reebok and Power Rangers shoe line, BOOM! Studios comic news and everything revealed during the Power Rangers Fan First Friday on July 2. Are likeness rights holding back certain figures in the Lightning Collection? Do the past actions of actors affect a toy release?
Basically, where the heck is SPD Yellow? All this and more on this episode of RCPH!
Will the Power Rangers make the right choice and save Angel Grove? The battle of Angel Grove continues as the team grapples with a seemingly no-win scenario. Will they be able to defeat Lord Zedd and his surprising new ally, or will their home fall into chaos for good?
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“Mighty Morphin Issue 9 packs a lot of story into one issue, answering some questions I’ve had as a reader from early on in the beginning of the Unlimited Power arc. While not a super action-packed issue, this story delves into the consequences Billy has to face for lying to his team, the fallout of life after the dome surrounding Angel Grove and the imprisonment of Zelya/Candice at the hands of Lord Zedd.
All of this story is exactly what I had been wanting since my review of the last issue, and in rereading the past issues the 3-week time skip is no longer a problem for me.
As seen below, the preview tells another part of Zordon’s past as Zartus confers with a Bandorian to surround the Zeo Crystal with an incantation of the Fire of Truth. This explains more of the Zeo Crystal’s origins as seen in the episode ‘Master Vile and the Metallic Armor’. I love that we have an explanation of Bandora’s Palace from the sentai footage and what we already seen of the Zeo Crystal’s story in the Caves of Deception. More context to the lore of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will be explored in next month’s Mighty Morphin Issue 10 featuring the return of Dan Mora for that issue.
Writer Ryan Parrott delivers many excellent character moments and humor in this issue, touching on all of the main players and side characters. Artist Marco Renna keeps the dialogue heavy issue balanced with great set pieces, interesting close ups and angles, and detailed character art. Walter Baimonte’s (and team’s) colors are bright, with some color gradient backgrounds and fills sprinkled in to emphasize emotion of the character speaking.
Mighty Morphin Issue 9 sets the stage for next month’s lore focused issue with answers people have been waiting for. A must read if you have been keeping up to date!”

Reebok Debuts 90s-Inspired Power Rangers Collection
(BOSTON) June 22, 2021 –Today Reebok unveils its first Reebok x Power Rangers collection in partnership with Hasbro. Inspired by the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series of the 90s, this full-family footwear collection pairs iconic Reebok silhouettes with five of the original Power Rangers in both performance and lifestyle silhouettes.
The characters featured in this collection include the Red Ranger, Black Ranger, Blue Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger and Megazord. Each of the key footwear models that represent the Power Rangers incorporate elements connecting the shoe to its corresponding Power Ranger and their Zord.
Highlights of the Reebok x Power Rangers line include:
Zig Kinetica II Red Ranger ($140) – The Red Ranger’s impressive athleticism and powerful personality pairs perfectly with Reebok’s all-new Zig Kinetica II. The Zig Kinetica II Red Ranger also features a jagged toe box to represent the Tyrannosaurus Zord’s teeth with silver Zord accents along the midsole. Also available in Zig Dynamica for grade school and preschool.
Nano X1 Black Ranger ($150) – This version of Reebok’s most versatile training shoe yet, the Nano X1, was inspired by the Black Ranger’s sleek look, agility and speed. The Nano X1 Black Ranger allows you to perform a wide range of physical activities in style. The shoe even features a heel tab design that references the Black Ranger’s signature 90s fashion sense. Available in adult sizing.
Club C Legacy Blue Ranger ($120) – Rather than being at the forefront of every fight, the Blue Ranger’s power comes from within. This Club C Legacy pays homage to the Blue Power Ranger’s work through the translucent sole, which shows an important aspect of the shoe that is often shrouded by the outsole. The sneaker also includes a white collar and heel blocking to resemble the design of the Triceratops Zord’s crown. Available in adult, grade school and preschool sizing.
Freestyle Hi Pink Ranger ($120) – Reebok’s Freestyle Hi, the first workout shoe made exclusively for women, is the perfect silhouette to represent the Pink Ranger, known for promoting individual empowerment and investing in others by teaching aerobics at her community center. The shoe also incorporates pink stripes down the front of the upper that make reference to the Pterodactyl Zord, as well as a green broken heart on the inside strap that alludes to the Pink Ranger’s relationship with the Green Ranger. Available in women’s, grade school and preschool sizing.
Club C Yellow Ranger ($100) – The Club C, a silhouette known for its’ adaptability from the skate park to the tennis court, matches the Yellow Power Ranger’s signature versatility. In addition to Zord markings, the Club C Yellow Ranger features a wing logo on the back of the tongue as a tribute to Yellow Ranger actress Thuy Trang. Available in adult sizing.
Question Mid Megazord ($180) – The Question Mid Megazord features a range of markings to represent the Zord, from the black and yellow logo on the tongue that resembles Zord eyes to the V-printed eyelets that emulate Zord teeth. The shoe also includes a question mark on the right toe with an M for Megazord.
Beyond unique details that relate to each character, each style incorporates a Power Coin, the Power Rangers bolt and materials inspired by the metallic Zords.
All six adult models will be packaged in shoeboxes designed to resemble different elements of the Megazord. Once assembled, these six boxes combined will create a limited edition Megazord figure akin to the television show model.
The Question Mid Megazord will be available exclusively at Reebok.com/power_rangers beginning June 29, 2021 at 10am EST. All remaining models in the Reebok x Power Rangers collection will be available at both Reebok.com/power_rangers and various additional retailers on June 29, 2021 at 10am EST. Hi-res imagery of the collection is available for download HERE.

With the release of Zeo Pink and the newest event tease, could Zeo Cogs be coming?
Will the Power Rangers be able to save Angel Grove from Lord Zedd and his Putty Primes? With Tommy’s life on the line, the rest of the team will have to rely on new allies with their own agenda. Meanwhile, past and present collide as another player finally reveals themselves and makes their move…
Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:
“As we inch closer to Mighty Morphin Issue 10 and the return of Dan Mora with a Zordon focused story, more lore regarding the Zeo Crystal is shown in the first few pages of Mighty Morphin issue 8. At least… some Eltarian myths surrounding the crystal. Is Zeon in the story one of the original Morphin Masters? If so, it’s a great way to tie in the comics and what we’ve seen so far from Power Rangers Dino Fury.
Aside from that, the preview continues in the present with Tommy squaring off against the Megazord sized Putty Primes. With some help from Aisha, the issue has an explosive start. The situation flips pretty drastically back and forth for the rest of the issue. And while we won’t spoil anything, I really hope that we get some non-Ranger character beats from the fallout of this issue. In the past few issues, there have been a couple time skips that I think take away from the characters truly processing some of the events going on. I hope we get that in the next issue, before the Zordon standalone in Issue 10.
Writer Ryan Parrott really delivered by making Aisha a big part of this issue early on and has been doing a great job in fleshing out the Yellow Rangers for both series. Artist Marco Renna excels with the Zord battles and panel layouts. There’s also some unique panels with the fight scenes in this issue, particularly with Rocky fighting, that I found visually appealing.
Overall, Issue 8 ups the stakes in another power move from Zedd and continues to build for the event issue coming up. Definitely looking forward to see what happens next!”
