- BIO -
Jason Ybarra started his Acting/Stunt career back in 1994 right out of high school on the popular childrens tv show “The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”.
Starting out as an extra, he quickly landed the role of “Baboo” one of the villans on the show. From there he slowly played other monsters and various rangers.
During his tenure there, he wore many hats from in front of the camera as well as behind it.
After the show left to film in New Zealand back in 2004, Jason decided to continue in the industry having worked on countless tv shows, movies, commercials and music videos.
Jason frequently meets his fans at comic cons across the country
In 2010 Jason designed and had the TMNT van commissioned. Taking it to local car shows and events in Los Angeles made him a household name. Then once he found the Turtle suits in November 2013 it escalated his popularity and now he and Dan Bravo travel across the country as guests at comic conventions and special events!
Dan Bravo
Born in June of 1967, I have been artistic for as long as I can remember. My earliest memory was in kindergarten while all the other kids were scribbling with crayons, I constructed an eagle with huge wings. The teachers were amazed. Throughout elementary and high school, I was the recipient of many awards for my drawings. As I look back, my creativity was influenced by all the black and white Science Fiction horror movies I watched late at night with my father when I was a young boy.
In 2000, I started to make costumes. For my first, I made my very own Boba Fett and it became a huge hit. One afternoon, I was watching the movie Predator and thought to myself, “that would be a cool costume!” I started to look around and found out that there were no costumes available so if I wanted one, I was going to have to make it myself. After doing some research, I invested in a mask making kit not knowing if I could even sculpt. I quickly found how much I enjoyed sculpting with every piece that was created.
My first Predator was sculpted, molded, casted, painted and finally completed in 2003.
From then I progressed to Predator 2, Godzilla, Creature From The Black Lagoon and to TMNT today.
You can never tell where a piece of clay will take me tomorrow!
