SDCC ’17: Power Rangers Mania! Your Panels, Exclusives, And Photo Ops

by James Ferguson

 
San Diego Comic-Con is looming. If you’re fortunate enough to be attending, there are tons and tons of things to check out. For fans of the Power Rangers, there are panels on the shows and comics, exclusives, and plenty of opportunities to snap a selfie with a Ranger.
What is sure to be a prized item at this year’s convention is the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers SDCC-exclusive slap bracelet. Nothing says ’90s nolstagia like a slap bracelet. They’ll be given away at a few different booths, specifically, Bandai (#3535), Nickelodeon, and BOOM! Studios (#2229).
Power Rangers Dino Super Charge and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers costume characters will be on hand throughout the show, making appearances at partner booths. For the first time in years, the costumed Green MMPR Ranger will be appearing with all five core Rangers. That sounds like a pretty awesome photo opp.
The Lionsgate booth will host a Legacy Wars tournament with appearances by the Green Ranger himself, Jason David Frank. He’ll even be playing in the tournament. Prizes included branded hoodies and t-shirts.
Here is the information on the two Power Rangers panels:
