Surprisingly, word's actually swirling about another reboot now. Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz are supposedly working on something for Disney+. https://www.thewrap.com/live-action-power-rangers-hasbro-disney/ Only question is, is this actually going to get made, or is it going to spend...

The question is, how successful can they be with that if they're just going to regurgitate designs and media from 30 years ago rather than making anything actually new to appeal to whatever kids are into these days... Like, how much excitement do we think these remasters are actually going to...

As for the toys themselves, here's a video quickly going over them. Auto Morphin figures, Evil Space Aliens, Battle Bikes, non-gimmick Rangers, electronic "Ultimate Megazord", combining Zords (sold individually), roleplay masks, Morpher, Blade Blaster, Dragon Dagger (with Green Power Coin)...

I mean, Tommy's Morpher was a different color than the others, so they're probably saving his coins for a future gold version. ...Unless that disappointed reaction means you were hoping to see the Ninja Coins too, in which case... 🤷‍♂️ Getting that sort of thing depends on people remembering...

See also, the time he spent like a week on indulging questions that amounted to, "Dear Vector Prime, please rename these Chinese characters so I can get that horrible foreign rubbish off the wiki"...

IGN has some more info on the upcoming new comics series, Power Rangers Prime. https://www.ign.com/articles/power-rangers-prime-reboot-boom-studios-preview Some quick bullet points:

My immediate question: If there's peace now, why are there still Decepticons at all? Like, in most continuities this is a faction specifically built around the idea of conquering places and oppressing people. Sure, sometimes Megatron has some kind of legitimate grievance at the very beginning of...

I'd buy that if we were talking about just one or two people leaving the show, but the fact that they had to replace the entire animation studio over these mental health issues, as well as most of the writers and directors, does make it sound very much like the troubles were work-related.

Surprising absolutely no one, the reboot that's been stuck in "development" for the last several years with zero signs of forward momentum is now officially dead. https://tvline.com/news/power-rangers-series-netflix-cancelled-hasbro-redevelop-1235260980/

Given the whole "Old West" thing, it's probably supposed to be a high-tech branding iron, like you'd use to mark a horse or cow. It does look odd, though, I'll grant you that.

Just the two, actually. They both get pushed halfway into the "third" space during the transformation, so there's not really room for anything else without having the cards overlap.

"Champagne", apparently, is the word they're going with. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnndnrNh7pM/
