and i thought about this picture, which i came across a while back. This was one of those meet a character type of things. It was at a local amusement park, called Haunted Trails, what a cool place. Games, tickets, prizes, all of that. The show Power Rangers was already popular at the time. We knew there would be this event happening, or maybe it was random, i dont even know. But this Blue Ranger was there. We formed a line, and waited. This picture, is what i have left from that day. When i was a younger person on this planet.
But...
I have a drawer full of things. In fact, many drawers full of things....
Drawers.... and more Drawers
I always liked things. Inventions, electronics, books, stickers. Dinosaurs, animals, and Egypt.
Video Games was really big to me, because i liked Super Mario, Sonic, and Mickey Mouse.
Ninja Turtles was my all time favorite though and that was an interesting Craze at the time. TV shows, toys, games, they were integrated into almost every part of the fabric. They had a breakfast cereal too. At some point they did a live show that was like a tour. The movies were great, but wow....
side-tracked....
Cuz this is about.....
The....
POWER RANGERS
In my tiny bubble in this time and space..... it was destined that I would love both Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers. The toys were really big back then. The marketing, the joy of the characters and collecting. I cant even grasp, as to why i loved the characters and toys so much, it was all just the coolest stuff, i wanted it all.
Which leads me to the toys....
This is a mish mash of my old memories and both the Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers
These toys pictured above is part of my collection, that i have done a couple posts about., but i havent ever mentioned the Power Rangers too often. My favorite might be this Gem here.....
The good ol Megazord. It is a robot made of 5 smaller, separate animal toys. They combine to create this 1 robot, its so nostalgic for me.
All 5 Power Rangers are pictured here, on some of the trading cards that i bought back then too...
I really loved these cards too, this was a special time.
And as I'm reminded of good times, its also time for me...... to escape this memory and reflection....
