45 ish dollars, looks decently articulated, and this is just the prototype. Hopefully it'll be better painted when it actually releases, but this isn't bad at all.


please Dragonzord

I'm a bit more concerned that it's split into 3 packs. At least with Beast Morphers (and transformers as some tried to argue with me about) there are at least alt modes so there is some playablity. There really wasn't a reason this couldn't just be a $45 all in one.

short answer: No

Long Answer: James seems to distance himself from his ranger past from what I hear and even the more willing Dino Thunder Cast weren't contact from what I remember. I think the only returning actors are the ones we see in the promo. Austin, Brennan, Davi, Yoshi, and James Davies.

This is still hope. Shout has not out right cancelled the sentai sets and last I heard they may be renegotiating with Hasbro.

They're not doing the "Super" gimmick anymore. Season 2 of Beast Morphers just started today and it's still just called Power Rangers Beast Morphers.

The team from that includes two characters from skipped shows, and the least charismatic red ranger ever to appear on TV.

So yeah, probably.

You didn't miss much, Ryusoulger was mediocre in every possible way despite having a lot of potential, at least until I got bored and dropped it. Apparently it got better afterwards but by that point it's way too late to make up for its mistakes.

Ryusoulger is aggressively bland, yeah, but the suits and mechs seem like they're tailor made for adaptation into Power Rangers, with the western knight themes, so maybe we'll get something good out of it.

Given they've done all the series (and a few prior to MMPR) up to Huricanger I can't imagine that they're being put out for releasing them. It's ether Hasbro or, worse, Toei, that's gumming up the works.

Probably Toei as Hasbro has worked with Shout Factory before so I can't really see why they'd have problems now

I know it's a cheap-as-hell show for children, but I just discovered they did a crossover episode where they clearly couldn't/wouldn't hire the actual actor to cross over, so he's in his suit the entire time.

I'm kinda gobsmacked. Like, ok, the "lol cheap as hell" chesnut is kinda overdone, but what the hell.

Sorry, I forgot some nouns.

It's a Power Rangers Samurai special (I think? Seems to be a standalone 40min thing) called The Clash of the Red Rangers, which is a crossover between it and RPM's Red Ranger.

The actor who plays the RPM Red Ranger does the voice of the guy, but he's in his suit the entire time, so there must've been a reason he didn't show up. Given the history of the show, I bet it was money.

edit, I did some searching and it was a union thing, dude who played the Red Ranger in RPM couldn't be hired on a non-union gig, so he just voiced his character.

I'm pretty sure that in the second Dino Thunder/SPD team-up, Tommy doesn't appear out of suit and the guy voicing the black ranger is definitely not Jason David Frank.

Did Beast Morphers just fall of a cliff or something quality wise? I've missed a ton of episodes since I didn't know it was on Netflix as well, but the early ones seemed promising.

Steel has been a surprisingly good counterpart for J, it's actually pretty impressive and gives me hope for the next adaptation. Has that been announced yet?

I would call it aggressively mediocre, not terrible and it does get better near the end but there’s nothing particularly noteworthy about it either.

It also focuses heavily on the Red and Sixth but it’s possible that could be fixed in a western adaptation (they did it for Dino Charge after all).

There's a lot of good potential for an adaptation, but the series itself is kinda meh. the most potential is in the mecha which have a really good toy gimmick, but it wasn't fully exploited by the midpoint of the series.

It improves in the last couple of arcs, but not enough to become Good. A couple of the villains do face turns and become 10x more interesting in the process, but that's about it.

No legal means anyway (aside from maybe just watching them on TV) but you can probably find it on streaming sites like Kimcartoon and the like.
