Power Rangers

[Samurai8472]

The magazine scans have started pouring out

 

[Myko]

The Minecraft is strong with this one.

Somehow the Red Ranger's helmet in those pictures reminds me of a DuckTales character. Like maybe if Gladstone Gander got a superhero identity alongside GizmoDuck.

Red is the terror that flaps in the night...

I'll be in Japan in three weeks, I wonder how much of this stuff will be on the shelves. These things tend to look better when seen in person, after all. Also, being cube-shaped makes them amenable to packing in suitcases.

In three weeks?

It's likely nothing will be on shelves till after February 14th( The premiere date)

If you stayed till the end of January you might be able to attend the annual Toy fair/ Expo promoting the series.


The expo will also have the annual tradition where the past team hands over a bouquet of flowers to the next team

I'm there from Jan 16-30, but in Osaka for most of the middle part. I understand that unlike around here, the toys show up AFTER the show has drummed up interest, instead of the other way around. I'm already cursing the lack of new Macross Delta stuff by the time I'll be there. :P

Gosh darn it then - I'll pick up the usual assortment of year-old stuff from the self-sale stores...

I'm really digging the helmets, though the suits look rather bland (though not as bland as Toqger's). It's almost as if a simple t-shirt would suffice for cosplay.

And I wonder how Green sees anything directly in front of him. Your biggest mistake is to attack him from the sides, apparently.

Zyuland, a world parallel to ours, is attacked by aliens. Four of its inhabitants (called Zyuman), Sera, Leo, Tusk and Amu call for help a young man from our world, Yamato. After taking human form, they all five form the Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger !

There is also veterant actor Susumu Terajima as Yamato's uncle (an animal sculptor).

The red ranger is the only human. He get's sweep up with the other four

The enemies are a "universal outlaws" called Deathgaliens. (デスガリアン)

^Cool, a two-female team again. (Will we ever see a Ranger team with more women than men for a change?)

^Cool, a two-female team again. (Will we ever see a Ranger team with more women than men for a change?)

As soon as Japanese culture undergoes a profound change in gender attitudes, sure. Otherwise, no, never.

^Cool, a two-female team again. (Will we ever see a Ranger team with more women than men for a change?)

Probably not, unless you count Kakuranger, which had a team of female ninja.

Sorry but it sounds like you're saying we haven't had one for awhile

We currently have the ninninger cast

 

[Christopher]

^Well, I'm a few seasons behind because Power Rangers is my main point of reference.

Ninja Steel confirmed for 2017.

Toqger adaptation skipped

Press Release talks about Dino Super Charge premiere at first, but the rest is Ninja Steel

Additionally, it was announced that Saban Brands is continuing its longtime partnership with Nickelodeon to serve as the official broadcaster for the Power Rangers television series in the U.S. through 2018. With this news, the companies unveiled Power Rangers Ninja Steel as the title for the 24th season of the series. Power Rangers Ninja Steel will premiere on Nickelodeon in 2017 and Chip Lynn will return as executive producer.

Saban’s Power Rangers Ninja Steel starts deep in space, where Zircon is the reigning champion of the most popular intergalactic game show in the universe, and monsters battle to prove who is the mightiest warrior. Zircon is determined to become invincible by controlling the mythical Spirit Crystal, which contains six supernatural Ninja Power Throwing Stars. The only thing standing in his way is a new team of heroic teenage Power Rangers who possess the Spirit Crystal. The evil Zircon sends his warrior contestants down to Earth to steal the Crystal, where each epic battle against the Rangers is broadcast throughout the universe. Together, the Rangers must master their arsenal of Throwing Stars, Zords and Megazords, each made of legendary ninja steel, in order to stop this evil threat and save our planet from destruction.

“We’re thrilled to continue our longtime partnership with Nickelodeon to launch future installments of the Power Rangers series on this incredible platform,” said Janet Hsu, Chief Executive Officer of Saban Brands.

Pam Kaufman, Chief Marketing Officer and President of Consumer Products, Nickelodeon Group added: “Saban Brands has been a terrific partner over the years, and we are excited to extend our relationship to continue bringing kids the action and excitement of Power Rangers to Nickelodeon.”

Holy crap: Ricardo Medina, Jr., aka Cole the Red Wild Force Ranger, has been arrested for killing his roommate with a sword:

http://abc7.com/news/man-fatally-stabbed-roommate-with-sword-in-green-valley/499910/

Early speculation seems to be that it could be self-defense, but in any case, a man died and someone else has to live with it.

Medina is not being charged; police continue to investigate. His lawyer says that it is an obvious case of self-defense.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/31125228

Update to this case: Medina has now been re-arrested for the stabbing, and is being charged with murder. He faces 26-life if found guilty.

Cool. DS and I are pretty excited.

 

[Christopher]

Looks like Heckyl is merged with a more monstrous villain. I wonder how that will play out.

And let's see, are we up to eight Rangers now? There's Tyler, Shelby, Koda, Riley, Chase, Ivan, Prince What'sisname, and now Kendall. So that means there are two more to go. I wonder who they'll be.

Cockpit for the mecha

The Deathgaliens, the evil outlaw army from outer space that has destroyed countless planets throughout the universe. No matter how much pain they inflict on planets’ inhabitants, they continue to repeat their deadly “Blood Game”. Having recently destroyed their 99th planet, they’ve chosen the Earth as the playground for the 100th game.

Azald is a Deathgalien leader; he favours inflicting physical pain. Cuval is a Deathgalien leader; he favours causing emotional/mental distress. Ginis, the Deathgalien boss, loves playing with the lives of others; he’ll award a prize to the winner of his “Blood Game”. Nalia is Ginis’s aide; she grants “Continue Medals” to Ginis’s “Players” after they’re defeated, which turns them into giants. The foot soldiers are Moeba and the first monster sent to Earth is Jakudo.

The leader (in white) Ginis.


From left to right : Azard (the purple cube monster), Cuval (the big head monster) and Nalia (the green monster).
