New York Comic Con, which begins this Thursday and runs through Sunday, will have lots of goodies for Power Rangers fans. However, if I was planning to attend the four-day event, I would make to head on over to The Theater at Madison Square Garden on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET. That’s where and when Lionsgate’s hourlong NYCC panel will take place, and they will debut the first official footage from the upcoming Power Rangers movie. Will it be a trailer? A featurette? Or, a clip? We just don’t know yet!

Aside from that, Power Rangers fans to should head on over to Bandai America booth #1628 and get their hands on the first action figure based on the film. Today, Saban Brands released information and images (view below) of the Red Ranger (played by Dacre Montgomery) action figure.
By the way, this is our first look at the Red Ranger’s Power Sword. Let us know what you think of it in the comment section below.

Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.
Saban’s Power Rangers stars Dacre Montgomery as Jason Lee Scott/the Red Ranger, RJ Cyler as Billy Cranston/the Blue Ranger, Becky G as Trini Kwan/the Yellow Ranger, Ludi Lin as Zack Taylor/the Black Ranger, Naomi Scott as Kimberly Hart/the Pink Ranger, Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa, Bill Hader as Alpha 5, and Bryan Cranston as Zordon.
The film is being directed by Dean Israelite and was written by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz.
Power Rangers is scheduled for release on January 13, 2017.
