The pony hair on the heel also emulates Rita’s headgear. The Instapump Fury features all of Rita’s signature markings. The shoes also have packaging customised to their character, such as the Rita’s Moon Dumpster box that contains the Rita Repulsa-inspired Instapump Fury. For example, the Answer IV Lord Zedd insole shows the ingredients in Rita Repulsa’s love potion, which she used on Lord Zedd.

The Answer IV Lord Zedd pays tribute to Lord Zedd’s red body, silver armour and blue tubes. The collection also includes Power Rangers-inspired Zig Dynamica running shoes (S$122) and shoes for children of various ages. Notable designs in this collection include the Instapump Fury Rita Repulsa (US$200, about S$271), the Hurrikaze II Low Rito Revolto (S$190) and the Answer IV Lord Zedd (S$230). While the first collection launched in June 2021 paid tribute to the heroes of the show, the latest one shifts the spotlight to the villains, with designs inspired by antagonists like Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd and Rito Revolto.Įach individual shoe design is modeled after one character, with designs and markings that emulate the character’s signature features. This is the second Power Rangers line Reebok has developed in collaboration with Hasbro. It looks like it's going to be pretty good.Reebok launched its second Power Rangers collection on Mar 15, featuring sneakers and clothes inspired by the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series. Hopefully she'll be wearing the cones!Īre you going to see the new movie when it comes out in theaters? After she gives him the costume, or transforms it into him, I think we'll see the revamped Rita costume that a lot of people have been hoping to see. She's the one who created him, so I have a feeling that's going to happen. Somehow, some way, she's going to take it and transform it onto the Green Ranger. I think she'll wear the green costume when she introduces us to the evil Green Ranger. I think it's one of two, or one of several, she's going to wear throughout the movie. I think the costume that was just revealed is not the only costume. Luckily at that time I was young and I could handle it, but at the end of the day I was exhausted.ĭo you have any theories as to why Rita Repulsa is now green? Since it's Power Rangers, the color must mean something, right? Adding the accessories, it was probably 20 pounds altogether. The dress itself-without all the jewelry, the cone, the collar, the helmet-must have weighed about ten pounds. That was one of the heaviest costumes ever. Yeah, the new costume is definitely more of a minimalist interpretation. If Rita had a costume like that back then… wow. I do like the costume though-it's so sexy. I get that they want to go in a different direction for a new generation. But after you look at it for a while, it's a pretty nice costume. Yeah, where'd the cone bra go!? When I first saw the costume, I didn't see Rita at all in it, especially because the green threw me off. What do you think of the new costume? I'm sad that she's not wearing a cone bra. There's a new generation of kids who will watch it so it really doesn't matter. I don't think the fact that she's not Asian really matters. I was quite surprised when they announced it, but she's such a good actress. How do you feel about Elizabeth Banks being cast in your role for the reboot? Some fans seem to be concerned that the character is no longer played by an Asian actress. They would record the voiceover in a sound studio after I taped so I never met her while we were filming the show. Isn't that funny? We were like, after all these years! It was so good to meet her. I actually met for the first time a few weeks ago at the Lexington Comic Con. It was what it was, and I was just happy to be on the show. But when I started the show, the producers told me that they were going to keep as the voice because the kids were already familiar with it and a change would probably confuse them. I didn't know that they were going to do a voiceover when I auditioned. What was it like playing just the physical role of Rita Repulsa? I know scenes from the original Japanese series were dubbed for use in the American version, but why was a different voice actor used for your character in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers ? I have to ask, do you practice witchcraft off-camera?
