Last week, a report revealed that the Putty Patrol from the originalPower RangersTV series, along with the villainousGoldar, will appear in the highly-anticipatedPower Rangersreboot. In the movie, Goldar’s “molecular essence” is scattered around the globe after he was vaporized millions of years ago, with Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) collecting gold particles to resurrect him. Today, we get our first look at Goldar, so to speak, through a new TV commercial for Bandai’s MegaZord toys, which shows the Goldar toy that is coming soon. While it is just a toy, it will likely bear at least some resemblance to what is seen in the movie.
The video debuted at the Neo-Saban Power Rangers YouTube channel, which shows the MegaZord toy battling with the Goldar figure. It remains to be seen when we’ll see the movie version of Goldar in action, or theMegaZordas well. The first trailer debuted at New York Comic Con in October, but it hasn’t been confirmed when the second trailer will be released, as we get closer and closer to the August 02, 2025 release date. This action-packed reboot will be going up against Warner Bros. theatrical reboot ofCHiPsand Sony’s sci-fi thrillerLife, when it hits theaters on June 05, 2025.
