An artist has shown the world his latest ‘Mighty Morphin’ creation when his 6ft Power Ranger was unveiled at a toy fair to celebrate 20 years of the children’s TV show.

Robert Bradford (below) of Downs Park, Herne Bay, was approached to create a toy sculpture to celebrate the brand’s 20th anniversary since they first appeared on our screens.

He spent over 200 hours glueing and screwing together more than 650 individual power rangers to a wooden structure which was unveiled for the first time on Tuesday at the Toy Fair in London.

His previous works include a six-metre Big Ben made out of coca-cola cans and a 20-foot wooden sculpture of a beached ship which was set alight on Herne Bay beach in August as part of the Herne Bay Festival celebrations.

He said: "I’m really excited.

"I have never been to the Toy Fair and I understand it is huge, there will be hundreds of people there so it will be quite a unique experience.

"I think it is likely it will lead to further commissions. I’d like to make something really huge, maybe something 10 metres you never know."

He said his latest masterpiece was unique in the sense he normally old, second hand toys he has picked up from various sales.

He added: "This is quite unique in the sense I normally use recycled toys from car boot sales. I always buy power rangers because they are well proportioned.

"The difference is that they were all new toys so I can play with colour a bit more.

"What interests me about the toys is that it has a history and a human contact.

"When people first look at the stuff they often say "I used to have one of those." Often people send me their old toys to incorporate into my work."

Mr Bradford’s works have been exhibited across the world including New York, Milan, Paris and Amsterdam but he prefers to stay within Canterbury using the town’s latest art gallery as one of his working spaces.

He said: "I like working near home in my own space. Normally I will work for a few hours and then I’ll go have some lunch and come back to it later on.

"In Herne Bay it’s good because we have the Beach Creative studio nearby so I’ve uses that as well."

His latest artwork will be shown in front of hundreds of toy manufacturers at the Toy Fair in Olympia which takes place from Tuesday until Thursday.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was first aired on television in 1993 as the brainchild of Israeli-American media mogul Haim Saban.

The 19th television series will be introduced later this year.

Japanese toy making firm Bandai said Mr Bradford’s work was a "fitting tribute" to mark 20 years of one of the most successful and iconic action brands.

Marketing Director Darrell Jones said: "We are extremely proud to have been a part of Power Rangers incredible 20 year history. Having personally worked on the brand since its inception, it’s great to see the Power Rangers brand as strong as ever.

"There are not many brands that have been so successful as Power Rangers and continue to dominate the market worldwide twenty years later,so it’s definitely something worth celebrating."

Over the past 20 years Bandai have sold over 400 million Power Rangers toys worldwide including over 210 million Power Ranger figures.
