Earlier this week, NYCC brought attendees closer to Power Rangers than ever before, something which eager fans surely appreciated. The event’s Bandai America Booth was stocked with special action figures based on the upcoming film. The booth was quick to show off their Red Ranger figure based on Jason Lee Scott – but you better get your hands on the figures fast. Only 1,000 were made, and quantities are being kept to that amount.

While we were hoping for a full look at the Zords, we did not get them. Lionsgate teased fans about the powerful robots in several character posters which hit the Internet recently which fueled the speculation. You can check out the posters in our gallery below! And, during a licensing expo in Brazil not long ago, Lionsgate showed off posters depicting the core Power Rangers as they teamed up for a photo.

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.
