The Most Morphinomenal Wedding of the Century

With love in the air, Hasbro just revealed a special Power Rangers Lightning Collection set in honor of the most Morphinomenal wedding of the century. It’s been nearly 25 years to the day that Rita and Zedd tied the knot in “The Wedding, Part 3,” which aired as part of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers’ second season on February 15, 1995—and to celebrate, Hasbro has released the Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa 25th Wedding Anniversary deluxe set – 6-inch action figures.

POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION 6” MIGHTY MORPHIN LORD ZEDD AND RITA REPULSA 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY 2-PACK

(Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99/Available: Fall 2020)

It’s Morphin Time! Introducing a new era of POWER RANGERS collectibles with Hasbro’s POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION 6” Figures! The LIGHTNING COLLECTION features over two decades of iconic characters from this storied franchise, and Hasbro is excited to bring its own take to this premium line. The LIGHTNING COLLECTION’s highly-articulated, 6-inch figures will have best-in-class detailing and design, and will feature Photo Real technology for realistic actor likenesses. The horror of your presence is absolutely required! The wedding of LORD ZEDD, Master of Evil, to RITA REPULSA was the event of 1995, featuring Putties dancing, an inconsolable GOLDAR (seriously, why was he so sad?), and the merging of the two most evil villains the Power Rangers had faced! To unite their evil families and celebrate their… love?… LORD ZEDD and RITA REPULSA tie the knot in a monstrous ceremony attended by only the worst guests possible: their minions. Celebrating 25 years of the best worst couple in POWER RANGERS, the figures in this LORD ZEDD AND RITA REPULSA 25th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY 2-PACK feature special silver-themed deco on Rita’s dress and Lord Zedd’s chest plate. This 2-pack of action figure toys includes multiple accessories inspired by RITA, ZEDD, and the iconic scenes from MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS season 2, “The Wedding.” Look for more collectible figures in the LIGHTNING COLLECTION. Each sold separately. Available for pre-order only at on GameStop.com and at most major toy retailers nationwide starting February 12TH, 2020. Available in Canada for pre-order at EB Games.

COMIC PREVIEW – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Issue 3

On Wednesday, February 5th,  Mighty Morphin Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Issue 3 will be released from Boom Studios. Below you will find a preview of the issue as well as the main cover and variants.

Rita Repulsa faces off against Shredder for control of the weapon that will change the Power Rangers forever! No matter who wins, the world will never be the same! As the two villains battle, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers must find a way to storm the Foot Clan base to save Tommy, as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles step up to help their new allies in an unexpected way.

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

“Continuing the cliffhanger from Issue 2, Shredder in his new Green Ranger armor faces off against Rita Repulsa. Rita wants the Dragon Coin returned to her, accusing Shredder of corrupting its power. And that’s only the first couple pages of this issue.

Issue three is a solid mid point for this 5-issue miniseries. The teams are formed for both good and evil in a natural way, with motivations that make sense. The issue also reveals more depth to the early childhood of Tommy Oliver, something the show rarely touched on.

“More depth” has been the recurring highlight of BOOM! Studios entire run of Power Rangers comics, exploring the lives of the teenagers with attitude outside of what viewers have seen in the show. While some may argue there is too much focus on Tommy, I think that is a disservice to all the writing that has been devoted to other characters in the comics.

For this crossover, we also discover more about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, already adding to the more than 30 years fans have grown up with them.

I won’t give away the ending, but it cements how much fun this miniseries is, playing with concepts we could only dream of as children. If you’re not reading this issue, be sure to pick it up along with the reprints for Issues 1 and 2 that release on the same day!”

Lionsgate released the first look image of actress Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa for Saban’s Power Rangers releasing next year.

The primarily green color of the suit along with gold highlights certainly hints at a Green Ranger and Rita’s connections to it. The look is sure to divide the fan base.
