Ranger Command Power Hour Episode 120

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!
