Maybe they used Robocop manikin heads?

After 10,000 years I just started watching the English sub titled version of Zyuranger and I have to say I am very surprised at how awesome and superior it is to it's American counterpart.
Rita is so over the top.

Back when PR was new I watched Dairanger and it was better even without subtitles. I can't believe I actually was trading tapes(!) with some guy I emailed from USENET(!). Then again, it was more memorable than finding some torrent.After 10,000 years I just started watching the English sub titled version of Zyuranger and I have to say I am very surprised at how awesome and superior it is to it's American counterpart.

Morphicon is this weekend. Power Ranger's Ninja steel was presented for the first time
Brody- Red
Calvin- Yellow
Preston- Blue
Hayley- White
Sarah- Pink
The morpher is not the sword like it is in the "Ninninger" It is the multi change weapon that they use
DinoCharge Blue's real life brother will be playing the blue ninja steel ranger
The new Ninja steel Pink ranger is definitely easy on the eyes

Not bad -- probably the kind of face that will grow on me the more I see it -- but I find the new White Ranger (Zoe Robins) much lovelier.
I think this is a record-setting team for diverse casting. Only the Pink Ranger is white, and her surname (Lopes) suggests she's Latina.
Meanwhile, the It's Henshin Time! YouTube series about Super Sentai history has posted the latest of its very infrequent chapters, covering Changeman through Liveman. (It went up nearly a month ago, but I only infrequently think to check.)
I have to admit, it seems a tad strange how short she looks in the group picture.
It's only strange if she suddenly gets taller in the Sentai footage.
She kind of looks like a Sofia Vergara Power Ranger which I find a funny notion.
So cool that Yoshua's own brother is his successor, and that they kept it a surprise for him! I do wonder if they'll manage to at last do a proper teamup in this era of PR, obviously these two would be up for it...

Way to keep a secret!
Something of Toqger has slipped in. For those that don't know Toqger was skipped in favor of adapting Kyoryuger/Dino Charge.
It might have looked goofy but it had heart
Baron Nemo in Toqger

Doing some YouTube research, it seems that Yoshua was involved in the casting process, but had been set up by the producers at Saban for the express purpose of the reveal you see. They actually first called Peter to tell him he didn't land the gig, then let him tell his brother the bad news, and THEN told him he'd won and to keep it a secret until the reveal at Power Morphicon.
The host handed out envelopes to the Dino Charge cast to read out one by one, keeping Yoshua's to the end, so his response was as genuine as you could get. It really seems like the DC cast bonded well over the two years they were together, they looked just as surprised. Here's a much better look at the payoff, at 3:35:
Looks like both Sudarso brothers are active bloggers AND Ranger nerds. Peter's wife is the same and her video about how they kept the whole thing as a surprise for Yoshua is pretty neat.
It further seems that both brothers auditioned not only for Dino Charge, but also for Megaforce (dodging a bullet for the latter, I'm sure!). And it seems that the Ninja Steel filming blocks are four and then three months with a month break in the middle, per year - which for 20 episodes per season equates to MORE than a week per episode on average? Or are they Adding in extensive prep/rehearsal time?

I'm glad you're enjoying Zyuranger but it is usually considered as one of the not so great sentais. Wait until you see other ones, there are some real gems in the franchise.After 10,000 years I just started watching the English sub titled version of Zyuranger and I have to say I am very surprised at how awesome and superior it is to it's American counterpart.

Go-Busters was skipped in favor of Kyoryuger, ToQger was skipped in favor of Ninninger/Ninja Steel.
Someone somewhere posted that the animal-based sentai shows tended to be better received than the machine-based ones, and further that the more fanciful occupation themes (i.e. ninjas, samurai) were better received than the more realistic ones (i.e. spies, first responders, train drivers). I'm not sure how this translates to PR, but Saban obviously has a thing for dinosaurs and the three we've had are generally better remembered than most vehicle-based ones (RPM being a notable exception, and my personal favorite season SPD).
Ninninger happens to have animals, vehicles AND ninjas as part of its theme, so they're covering all the bases. And Zyuoger is pretty solidly in the animal kingdom, so perhaps Saban will decide to go for it and not skip over a year - though I suppose it will depend on whatever Toei comes up with next. We'll know THAT in a couple months, I suppose.

They're just following Super Sentai's lead. It was Toei's choice to do dinosaurs three different times, and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger is a pretty obvious homage to Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. With the exception of Go-Busters and ToQger, Saban has adapted every Sentai season since Zyuranger in order (although they used little from Dairanger and Kakuranger besides FX footage).
