In this episode, I talk with Kenn Glenn about collecting Power Rangers toys, memorabilia and nostalgic items from his childhood (like Ziploc bags). We discuss the backstory of Power Rangers, how the show/toyline got started in the U.S., and why the show was like Saved By the Bell with Godzilla live action. We also talk about how toys have changed since the 80’s/90’s, the ratio of adults-to-kids toys in the stores, Marie Kondo-ing a collection, and Ken getting his name in the credits of a Power Rangers DVD set.
