20 Rangers for 20 Years at Toy Art Gallery

Toy Art Gallery (TAG) in Los Angeles hosted Saban’s 20th Anniversary Power Rangers art exhibit and pop-up shop on December 7th and 8th, 2013, with an opening reception on the 7th. The exhibition featured 20 hand-painted Ranger figures by artists including Simone Legno of tokidoki, Shojono Tomo, and Martin Tsu, built on the mold used for the 31-inch “giant size” Power Rangers Megaforce action figure, which also lined the gallery’s storefront window.

A percentage of proceeds from the artwork sales went to the Challengers Boys & Girls Club, and JAKKS Pacific, which supplied the 20 Ranger statues to the artists, donated toys as part of its contribution. Bandai displayed products from its Power Rangers toy archive for viewing only, and the event also offered official merchandise and apparel for sale. No Power Rangers actors attended, but the event drew a number of Power Rangers cosplayers, including toy enthusiast VampyBitMe, who had announced a custom toy collaboration with artist J★RYU the previous month.
