Seeing this auction is bittersweet. When I first started with Power Rangers, I spent weeks roaming the warehouse of Santa Clarita, sifting dusty props out of boxes, recreating costumes, pulling apart melted vinyl and plastic and working with others to identify those little treasures of Power Rangers history.
I loved them all. I found Lord Zedd's staff lying across an empty pallet. I pulled Divatox's iconic headpiece out of a box of misc. items and couldn't resist trying it on my head. I had a dilapidated Goldar's head in my office for years in the hopes I could bring him back to life.
I wanted so badly to do more for them - seeing
@toywonder and @pauldiddy27 use a treasured few for the Power Morphicon display a few years back was a very sweet moment.
But holding those hundreds of pallets in storage for years is VERY expensive, and I'm sure this decision to sell these treasures was not made lightly. But it is heartbreaking all the same, that we never got to do more.
I guess, all I'm trying to say is that I get it. I'm sad like the fans are sad, but I will hope that in time we can make new memories with Power Rangers as we move forward.
At the very least, I'm glad that there's an opportunity for these beautiful props to get into the hands of the fans who I know will treasure them and give them the love that they deserve. I'd rather that, honestly, than them sitting collecting dust in a warehouse for another thirty years.
