Blake Foster Gears Up for Mississippi Comic Con

Blake Foster is best remembered as the pint-sized Justin Stewart in 1997’s Power Rangers Turbo. Now at 48, he’s rediscovering his inner Ranger at fan conventions nationwide. This weekend, he’s inviting Jackson’s fans to his table at Mississippi Comic Con for autograph sessions, comic reveals, and photo ops.

A Turbo Time With Fans

During a recent Instagram announcement, Foster wrote, “There’s nothing I love more than signing Turbo helmets at conventions! 🔥 This weekend I’ll be @mississippicomiccon —so how many of y’all are ready to Shift into Turbo at my table? 💨💙 Drop a comment below if you’re rolling through! Let’s make this one unforgettable. #TurboTime #PowerRangers #JacksonComicCon.” True to his word, he’ll be on hand to personalize gear, pose for pictures in full Ranger finesse, and meet both new and longtime admirers.

From Screen To Convention Floor

Foster’s breakthrough role as Justin Stewart made him the youngest Ranger in franchise history—a move that resonated with viewers looking for a hero they could relate to. According to multiple sources, he was just 11 years old when he joined the Turbo cast. Over two decades later, that same energy still drives him. Fans who grew up watching his turbo-charged moves often bring vintage helmets and memorabilia for him to sign, blending ’90s nostalgia with today’s cosplay culture.

Phantom Force And Comic Debut

Beyond helmet signings, Foster is branching into the comic-book world. In an earlier Instagram post, he teased the official cover art for his new series, Phantom Force Issue No. 1, drawn by artist @tokujay. “Issue 1 out this week! Stay locked in 👀 #PhantomForce,” he wrote. Convention-goers can expect to find printed copies at his booth—an opportunity to chat about storylines, collect limited-run variants, and get sketches straight from the creative team.

Convention Circuit Highlights

Mississippi Comic Con marks the latest stop on his fan-tour itinerary. Last month, Foster landed in Anaheim for Nostalgia Con, teaming up with fellow Rangers and legacy guests. On that trip he shared, “Just touched down in Anaheim for three days of full-throttle nostalgia. Let’s see what this city’s got to offer—Turbo charged and Ranger ready. 💙⚡️ #AnaheimAdventures #TurboTime #BlueRangerVibes.” His schedule has also included Atlanta’s RangerStop, where he reunited with original cast members for Q&A panels and merchandise signings.

Connecting Generations

By mixing autograph sessions with comic reveals, Foster bridges two fan communities: those who remember Justin Stewart’s first morph and those discovering Phantom Force’s futuristic squad. He’s careful to acknowledge the legacy that paved his path. In a recent tribute post to the late Jason David Frank—who played Tommy Oliver, the franchise’s most iconic Ranger—Foster wrote, “He paved the way for all of us. I still carry the lessons, the laughter, and the legacy. And I’ll carry it proudly until my last morph.”

Whether you’re tracking down rare Ranger helmets or snagging a fresh copy of Phantom Force, Foster’s table promises a Turbo-charged weekend. Don’t miss your chance to shift into high gear with a Ranger who’s done it all—on screen and off.

Blake Foster was born on May 29, 1985, in Los Angeles, California.
