Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid Announces New Expansions

Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid Announces New Expansions

, , , , 3

It’s been a while since Renegade has added anything to Heroes of the Grid, its Power Rangers deck-building game. But the brand turns 30 this year and has a LOT in its library that has yet to be mined, so…here come two new expansion with characters from the show’s later seasons. Ranger Allies Pack #3 will introduce five new Rangers to the game: Udonna, the Mystic Force White Ranger, Delphine, leader of the Alien Rangers, Kendall Morgan, the Dino Charge Purple Ranger; Karone, the Galaxy Pink Ranger, and leader Doctor K, creator of the Ranger Operator Series and lead scientist at the domed city of Corinth. The Shadow of Venjix Theme Pack adds two more Rangers, Nate Silva and Steel, as well as two villains, Tenaya 7 and Evox (aka the sentient virus Venjix). The base Heroes of the Grid game is required to play both Allies Pack #3 and Shadow of Venjix. The two expansion sets will each contain 2 Ranger Figures, 2 Character Cards, 20 Combat Cards, 3

Power Ranger Jason David Frank Leaves Earth At 49

Power Ranger Jason David Frank Leaves Earth At 49

, , 15

90s kids everywhere received horrible news over the weekend with the discovery that actor Jason David Frank, eighth degree black belt in karate and star of the original Power Rangers series, had passed. He was 49. Out of all the hundreds of Rangers that have ever been, Frank’s character was perhaps the most iconic. Introduced as the Green Ranger and originally in a villainous role, Tommy Oliver reformed at the end of his arc and eventually turned into the White Ranger, leading the team from that point. While there were some young actors who had higher aspirations and couldn’t run away from Power Rangers fast enough, Frank LOVED the show and its fans, and stuck around as long as he possibly could. Because of this, Tommy Oliver is the one constant in the rotating, nearly 30-year history of the series. He was the lead in both the original Mighty Morphin’ series and its follow-up Zeo. He guest-starred in Power Rangers Turbo, reappeared during the tenth anniversary, and came back for

Power Rangers Deck Building Game Expands With RPM Power

Power Rangers Deck Building Game Expands With RPM Power

Last year Renegade Studios introduced the Power Rangers Deck Building Game, a multiplayer experience where participants assume the roles of popular PR heroes and villains and do battle via the slapping of cardboard. The deck has grown in size since the core set was released…an expansion based on the Zeo season came soon after, and now Renegade is preparing to release the second expansion, based on Power Rangers RPM. In the Power Rangers Deck Buiding game, two to four players choose their sides and begin drawing cards. Each player starts with a small deck, but grows more powerful as the game wears on, until the climactic Megazord vs. Monster fight commences. Each battle takes thirty minutes to an hour. The RPM expansion is not a stand-alone — you will need the core set to use it. But the extra cards will introduce new season-specific strategies such as building up RPM to penetrate your foe’s defenses, or draining their energy to leave them weakened. The RPM: Get in Gear set, as

Renegade Game Studios has announced four new add-ons for the Power Rangers Roleplaying Game it introduced last year. The first of these is Adventures In Angel Grove, Renegade’s first separate dedicated adventure book for the game. “Rita Repusla’s forces are attacking Angel Grove, as always, but this time something’s REALLY gone haywire! People are missing from all over the city, Zords are on the fritz, and it seems like even Rita doesn’t know what’s gone wrong!” It’s a four-part adventure that begins in the familiar territory of the original seasons yet branches off into strange and uncharted territory. The second new item is the Glutton For Punishment Accessory Pack, meant to compliment the Glutton For Punishment scenario from the core game, as well as the Fool’s Errand scenario. It contains full-color cardboard standees and stat cards for all enemies and ten full-color map tiles representing the locations in the adventure. The third product is a Power Rangers RPG Character Journal. You should know how to use this, and it comes

Putting the worlds of Godzilla and Power Rangers together is such an obvious idea that we find it hard to believe no one’s ever done it before. Both come from Japan, both involve giant monsters wrecking buildings, both are about larger-than-life battles and explosions. IDW will finally marry these two concepts in Godzilla Vs. Power Rangers, their upcoming five-issue miniseries. Rita Repulsa has had enough headaches. She’s splitting this world and looking for a dimension without the Power Rangers in it. She finds it..but she finds something else in their place! A would of kaiju and aliens would be just fine if they would get out of the way so Rita could conquer it. Godzilla won’t let that happen, though. And then, of course, the Rangers discover Rita’s plan and come through the portal themselves, bringing the Megazord for a truly titanic match-up! Godzilla Vs. Power Rangers comes to us from writer Cullen Bunn (Deadpool, Green Lantern, Godzilla: Cataclysm) and artist Freddie Williams II (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man/ThunderCats). “I

Earlier this year, Renegade Game Studios released three expansions for their Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid tabletop game. Now they’ve combined those expansions, along with the main game and some brand-new content, into a gigantic Megazord subtitled Rangers United. The package includes the base game, the Dino Thunder pack that adds all the characters, powers and villains from that series, the second Ranger Allies pack that adds Joe Shih, Zhane, Ryan Mitchell, Cam Watanbe and RJ James, and the fourth Villain Pack that adds Mesogog and Astronema. The campaign is just as much of a success as Renegade’s other PR crowdfunds and has so far earned $169,000 from a $10,000 goal. You can make a pledge to get Rangers United through this link. It’s possible to just get one of the packs, or two, but that kinda defeats the point. The entire package takes a $185 pledge and includes: Power Rangers: Rangers United Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid Dino Thunder Pack Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid Ranger

Renegade Studios, publishers of such tabletop pursuits as Altered Carbon, Vampire The Masquerade and Atheneum, have set their sights on sentai with the announcement of an upcoming Power Rangers deck-building game. Two to four players choose their sides and begin drawing cards. Each player starts with a small deck, but grows more powerful as the game wears on, until the climactic Megazord vs. Monster fight commences. Will you play as one of the spotlessly virtuous teenagers (with attitude) who use their morphers to turn into Rangers whenever trouble arrives? Or will you play the role of moon witch Rita Repulsa, red naked Lord Zedd or other villains and send monsters and Putties to Earth in an attempt to thwart the Rangers and conquer it? In the end, who will develop a headache and whose biscuits will get burned? Unite Angel Grove as Power Rangers, or conspire to dominate the city as Villains! Build your deck to unleash a powerful Megazord or Master attack! Begin your collection with this core set! Play 1 vs 1

Hasbro Owns The Power Rangers Now

Hasbro Owns The Power Rangers Now

Deadline broke the news this afternoon that the Power Rangers franchise has just been purchased by Hasbro. The deal also included some lesser 80s properties like My Pet Monster and Popples, but Power Rangers was the big get. The Power Rangers brand has ping-ponged around several businesses in its 25-year existence. Billionaire Haim Saban came up with the whole notion of translating Super Sentai for America, and co-owned Power Rangers with Fox up until around 2002, when Fox sold its Family Channel and much of its children-centric properties to ABC and parent company Disney. Disney kept the Power Rangers going on ABC Family until the late 2000s, when Saban bought the rights back from them and continued the series himself on Nickelodeon. No one knows at this point what convinced Saban to sell again, but perhaps it had something to do with his big Power Rangers relaunch movie failing at the box office. Hasbro already has a venue for the Rangers — the Discovery Family channel — and our best

Power Rangers has been a part of our culture for just about 25 years. And two years ago roughly, Boom! Studios decided to start a new comic series featuring the original Mighty Morphin team. Fast forward two years, and it’s one of the most popular comics on the market today. And to celebrate the 25th issue, the writing team of Kyle Higgins and Ryan Parrott (who writes the second PR series GO GO Power Rangers) have come together to make Power Rangers: Shattered Grid. This story delves deep into the mythology that Higgins created in his Power Rangers comic, where the Rangers met an alternate universe form of Tommy Oliver, who succumbed to the power Rita Repulsa gave him, and became Lord Drakkon. He took over the world, killed most of the original Rangers, and now, he wants more. He wants to wipe out all Rangers from our world…and all of time. The first issue of Power Rangers: Shattered Grid comes out next Wednesday, and to get you pumped, Kyle

The future of the Power Rangers movie franchise is still very much in the air right now. The film did decently in the box office, and did make a profit, but it was hardly enough to justify a full on sequel, let alone the five that Saban had planned. The home DVD sales were promising though, as Power Rangers was #1 in the nation when it came out. Still, it’s uncertain what will happen next. Interestingly enough though, we’re still hearing about things that almost made it into the film, including a bloody fighting between Zack and Jason. Actor Ludi Lin (who played Zack, the Black Ranger) was talking about his role in Aquaman when the topic of Power Rangers got brought up. So, he decided to have some fun and reveal that scene that didn’t make the cut “I’ll tell you about this scene that never made it into the Power Rangers movie because it was too violent… too bloody,” Lin shared to the Ara Show. “It was a scene between
