Ah, that chat was so much fun.  To those who were having technical issues, you have my sympathy.  It's happened to me when I have livestreams with some Youtubers.  Technology...what can I say? (To those unable to ask a question, you have my condolences).  For some of the great questions that I heard on the meeting, I just wanted to say thank you.  I've been trying to do some research on a project that I'm working on.

While I know this is the most iconic team up episode according to most fans, I will admit that it was a missed opportunity of mine (a few times actually) to get signatures on this.  Heck, Catherine Sutherland (voiced Tezzla) was on Day 2 when I went to Comic-Con and it slipped my mind (rookie move). But...I'm hoping to at least get most of the cast's signature on mine.

This picture was back in 2021 when I learned that Jason Faunt was going to be in Southern California (particularly Irvine) and helping promote Legend of the White Dragon as well as the Power Protection Program (PPP).  While it was my first time meeting him, I was glad there were others who were waiting as well so I got to meet a few other Ranger and Resident Evil enthusiasts.  At the time in 2021, he had a particular poster that they made which he was selling and while I did pay for the VIP package (a few signed items and a picture with him), I decided to go for the new print (which I still have).  What was great is that on Instagram, he did tag JDF letting him know that I was the first customer who purchased one of the new posters.

We spoke at length about the franchise and the LOTWD project and there was a quote that I used that I knew actor Mark Dacascos knew since he was part Japanese himself.  Mr. Faunt asked me if I met him yet, but I humbly told him "Not yet, but I would love to sometime". [This was taken back in December of 2021]

I think that the stuntmen and stuntwomen as well as suit actors of Power Rangers don't get as much respect and recognition in my opinion when it comes to doing the suits.  Despite the fact that most of them are from Japan and some of the actors and actresses know a few of them, I'm just saying that they're also a part of the community that I would say needs to be covered. Thankfully, Erik Betts was one of the people who I not only met at PMC but also at another convention called Comic Con Revolution.  He was one of the few that also told me the story about how JDF taught Thuy (RIP to them both) the fundamentals on making a kata, working on her stance, and the like behind the scenes and the one handling his booth was also recording our chat as we went from Power Rangers to other IPs he was in doing stunts (Avatar, Fate of the Furious [FF8]).  I should have asked about Batman Begins but that's for another time. [For those who don't know, he was Pudgy the Pig and also had a brief cameo with Bridget 'Babydoll' Riley in the episode Food Fight (Bridget was the suit actor for the Yellow Ranger in the 95 MMPR film)].

I know that I'm late on posting this (a few weeks late) but, as a Power Rangers fan, to the founders of Fanward and Austin St. John, I wanted to say thank you.

So...I know that I mentioned about meeting the prop master Mark Richardson recently and I felt like sharing one of the items that I bought at his booth last year.  Some scripts from other episodes.  There was one that I found that had a signature on it and I was pleasantly surprised at who it was. (I couldn't pass it up).

Not sure how many have heard of him, but I met the prop master himself [Mark Richardson] last year at a convention (Japan World Heroes) and got to interview him.  Also bought one of the power coin molds he made after the interview and took some pictures.  Anyone want to guess as to what is on it?
