Now this could be good.

Maybe my hope for Retrofire Dragonzord Battle Mode is not yet dashed!

Maybe I should start saving up and look for a SushiChanger now...

So what does this mean for the Sentai installment currently airing in Japan?

Will it not come over after all?

That's how it looks. RPM appears to be teh final adapted, original series.

I wish the Transformers toyline could return to 1993...

Paladin, you just made my day

I don't have my Super Legends figures with me right now, do those new figures use the Jungle Fury buck, or are they brand new sculpts? I'm hoping for the former, so I don't have to buy Green and White AGAIN to get a "proper" team.

Kinda wish that ToyFare Power Rangers poll from a few months back had gone down differently though. We could've gotten a new Super Legends figure in addition this new line, instead of "Thanks for voting, we were going to make a new MMPR Pink anyway..."

The "Megazord" part have me psyched. Megazord/Daizyujin update plz? Articulation? Mind with its transformation and BoAs like of smaller robot toys it's fully possible.

Also: Dragonzord, f-yeah.

Either way. Re-airing the 1993 original? Did I understand that part correctly?

The figures look nice, need bicep swivels though.

Reairing the original show though? That sounds like a bad idea, it's too cheesy to appeal to modern children.

It's obvious that Disney and Bandai don't have the rights to the old Ron Wasserman music, but how can you top 'Go Go Power Rangers'? Going by recent theme songs, I can't imagine a new theme song will be quite as good, but what can you do.

New Megazord?

Yay!

Word. I don't think it's physically possible to out-Shuky Lewy Shuky Lewy.

I mean, jeez Disney, it may cost you a little more, but just hire Shuki Levy back, maybe? The man's done little to nothing since Fox Kids disbanded back in 2000, although I can't help but wonder if he'd want to work on a kid's TV show again after nine years.

Well, the show's due to air in January, I'm sure they have some of it ready already, nothing's going to be changed at this late stage.

*opens thread and now needs new pants*........come on more posable ninjor, come on!!!!!

i am sooooooo getting back into buying power rangers

Uh, yeah. If later season stuff happens which I doubt, it won't be for a while. I wouldn't hold out hopes for revisits of season 3 stuff anywhere in the near future.

Well if they aren't gonna make new series, they might as we rerun the old one. So maybe in a few years he can get Ninjor and the year after I can get a Zeo Megazord.

That new logo blows.

Nice figures, but I want some Deluxe Megazord and Dragonzord action.

Reissue the Dragonzord, at least, that thing has gotten expensive on ebay in the past year.

i would literally kill babies for a dragonzord

Can I haz Dragonzord?

This news makes me feel old.

Dude. You just don't say stuff like that.

I'd be fine with straight-up reissues of the original zords, possibly as a store exclusive. I still regret getting rid of my original Megazord to this day especially since we kept the Thunderzords which I didn't like as much

Same.

I'll still buy an updated Dragonzond though.

Not that expensive. I just bought one, MIB, for like, $75.

I'm not going to be able to be as thrilled as I should be about this news until I can find the rest of this years RPM toys.

THEN, and only then, I will I get excited about this.

Wait, the Godzilla rip-off Zord, you say?

I'd actually be down with that if they gave it a bit of posability.

If they decided to do a new mold, with some added posability, he had better come with a smokestack.

Vision of things to come?

Looks like they won't be making many changes.

Here's a link to a video showing off the figures and Megazord. Notice the lack of any new articulation on the Megazord.

Wow. That was hilariously bad.

Awww. No return for the Putty Patrol?

Well, that's fine by me. The original's still hold up fairly well to the new stuff, and I just want a Dragonzord again. Especially to combine with my Megazord and Titanus I still have.

It's kinda sad to see Power Rangers die and become what G.I Joe has been for years... But hey, maybe I'll get a new Megazord for the heck of it. Maybe Disney'll even start showing the Fox Kids seasons of Digimon! ...Or not.

I miss Fox Kids. And Kids WB.

Sure it doesn't look articulate, but it's a LOT better proportionally.

There's actual LEGS now.

It looks like he might have knees.

They generate lasers by making a fapping motion.

=/

Doesn't everyone?

To be honest....both zords don't move much.

Ironbite-but updated zords with today's articulation would be awsome.

HA HA HA!


Oh wow, that video was perfect. Almost exactly like kids playing with their toys (if they had a better backdrop). Which, given the theme of the contest, makes sense.

So did the original.

THe original Megazord had "knee joints" that were part of the tank mode transformation.

And the one in the video looks like the Japanese version of that toy.

Also:


This better mean the following things:
Full Power Morpher, including the belt attatchment
Power Blaster with electronics and combining Power Lances.
Correctly colored Blade Blasters
Thunder Slinger
AND THE GREEN RANGER'S POWER MORPHER THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE 16 YEARS ADO

You forgot the Dragon Dagger.

The knee connectors were different than the old Megazord, FortMax. It's not the same toy. It looks like DaiZyuJin because it isn't using the old BOA stickers.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad I've found something to spend all the money I had saved by not buying ROTF toys.

Slim chance, but wonder if these means we can finally get a decent Goldar (among others).


Hey, maybe, FINALLY, we can get a Rita Repulsa figure.

Didn't we get a Rita? Years later?

I don't think so. They planned to make one years ago, but it never came to be.

Did appear in the show though, as a cake topper at Rita and Zedd's wedding.

I think there might have been a Bandora in the Sentai Girls in Uniform statuette series, but never a proper action figure. Allegedly the Madonna bra was deemed an eye-poke hazard. Even if that issue was sidestepped, a Rita figure does not strike me as fitting Bandai's pattern of behavior for recent years. Though I guess if it's a low-ratio, one assortment thing like Melle was last year...

I'm thinking I might get one of these for my cousin's birthday. He loved MMPR when he was younger.

There was a Melle figure?

But we got a Dragon Dagger in the original line.

AND it got reissued!
