i dont know about you guys, but ive really loathed the past like 5 iterations of power rangers..i think it went to the shitter after Time Force..Dino Thunder was watchable cuz it had tommy but other than that meh.

like check out how theyre attempting to put out some of the old stuff (this figure looks like crap imo)

how does everyone else feel about the new power rangers toys coming out/outnow?

My best friend at the time had all the Mighty Morping zords so I played so much with those.
Its a shame they are so damn expensive to find now or I would buy a Megazord+Dragonzord.

I also agree that even though I stopped caring after Time Force only dino thunder seems to be decent of the new series.

That's the only thing I think about when I think about Mighty Morphing, that and the first movie on VHS. Good times.

I still own quite a few of my PR toys (can't search for them right now), mainly going up to lost galaxy, that was kinda where I stopped, but IMO besides the First Power Rangers, my Favorite would have to be In Space

Please do Vegeta, i'd watch them all!

I've recently tried to get all the old ones i had as a kid that my dad gave away, the new megazords are still "meh" to me but RPM was a pretty good series. My fave season would have to be wild force because saban really went out with a bang with that one (they recently got the rights back and there's gonna be a new season).

Im curious ow they are going to tackle it, since the Sentai they are using is apparently Samurai Shinkenger and they summon zords with kanji and all; lets see them american-ize that :p

To defend Jungle Fury/Gekiranger for a second, I don't really mind the design of the Megazords or the designs of the Rangers. To me, the toys for the zords were constructed well since you can actually pose them. Most of the time, they are just a giant block of plastic that can move their arms up and down and just roll on wheels for their legs. Jungle Fury brought back the arm joints and minor leg joints that were incorporated in earlier series like Zeo and Wild Force.

In general, PR, while lacking engineering in joints and posablility, had great engineering as far as gimmicks and transformations. The biggest accomplishment of this definatly is Wild Force/GaoRanger. Yes, it was gimmicky with the whole Power Animals to collect but just the customizable ability you had with the Power Animals is fantastic to me.

I really think that people need to look at the other PR series besides MMPR. Yes, it was great and set the standard for all PR shows, but I still think Time Force, Wild Force, and parts of Dino Thunder that far surpass it when it comes to story and toys. And the main reason why Bandai hopped on to "try" to bring back PR was because of nostolgia towards MMPR. Not to say that's bad or anything, but I think Bandai America is just shoving money at a product that's been dead for years now in America.

I also thought Mystic Force was done well, but idk if anyone thought the same. The only thing that bugged me was that one part where rita made an appearance and she was good and had powers or something, i thought she was reverted to a normal human?

Power Rangers is one of the main reasons why I got into the Mecha Genre. Waking up early Saturday mornings to watch Power Ranger with their daily battles with evil. The best part was the megazord sequence.

Something I made with my Thunder Megazord, kinda cheesy but it works.

Tell me what do you think of the video.

Once I get a HD camcorder, I shall begin reviewing Gundams, a few transformers and megazords.

“Ne, Okotteru?”

Okay, I merely just copied and pasted this from another forum, but yeah... if some of you didn't know:

Saban is gonna adapt this:






________The Breakdown_______
Just the facts, ma'am.


  • The newest season of Power Rangers will be adapted from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
  • Saban has made a new deal with Namco Bandai and Bandai America, for the toys as usual and new video games from Namco.
    Spoiler: click to toggle

  • 700 old episodes (original MMPR to RPM) will air on Nicktoons 7 days a week!
  • The new season will feature 40 episodes. (They may be split with 20 episodes now and 20 episodes later. But the complete season will be 40 for Power Rangers 2011)
  • Jonathan Tzachor will be in charge of the new 18th season. Tzachor has been a producer on Power Rangers since the beginning with MMPR and was responsible for many fan favorite seasons such as InSpace and Time Force.
  • Tony Oliver has confirmed that he is writing for the 2011 season of Power Rangers.
  • Saban is making deals for a movie. Nothing else has been announced. Most likely it will through Paramount Films, which Nickelodeon is allied with. Nickelodeon has been developing a new film division, with Ninja Turtles being one of the productions.
  • Movie production workers from Auckland, such as costume designers and set painters are being offered three-year contracts on [TV show] Power Rangers. (this means Saban is serious about quality with Power Rangers!)
  • Ron Wasserman will not be returning to perform music for the show in any capacity.
  • Brian Casentini will help develop new Power Rangers skein -- Haim Saban's new shingle Saban Brands has named Brian Casentini veep of development and production.
  • Nickelodeon/Paramount might not have the dvd rights to Power Rangers. It's rumored Saban Brands is looking for a third party to publish and distribute such dvds.

  • Reruns of Power Rangers begins airing on NickToons in October! Reruns will air Monday through Friday on Nicktoons and brand new episodes will air Weekends on Nickelodeon!

    Spoiler: click to toggle


    THE PHENOMENON CONTINUES

    Experience all the action and adventure of the episode that ignited a generation of fans and sparked a sensation that is still going strong 17 seasons later. Go, Go Power Rangers!
    Spoiler: click to toggle

  • Mark Harris Stunt Productions will provide their services for the newest season.

I remember having Power Rangers at one point. Although the only episode I can remember watching was the one where pink ranger floats away due to losing all her weight. Dont ask me why I remember this one because I don't know.


I also had a Voltron figure that always reminded me of Power Rangers.

Turbo's got a pretty awesome Megazord transformation sequence, and probably one of my favorite finishers out of all the PR series.

Abridged TV transformation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izHjhYFLHIQ

Movie transformation from turbo was great; but Damn I hate justin.

I also like that they could not avoid having Tommy pull out the manual due to the japanese footage, its so silly.

I just ordered the 2010 version of the Dino Megazord and Titanus. It was made for the 2010 reairing of the original series. So that probably means no Dragon Zord since Saban is doing a new series. Which means new toys instead.

I remember I used to have parts of the Thunderzord (I do not recall having the entire thing). And I bought a Dragon Megazord in Chinatown in plastic packaging (IIRC the originals only came in boxes?), so it was probably a bootleg and not official release. But I remember it was awesome anyway. Does not matter either way because being a child I was foolish and threw out all my toys.

But now I am an adult and regret all the toys I have thrown out, and now seek to replace them with the newer zords even if they are inferior to the original.

This Zord is pretty awesome and huge.

One of the main aspect of this zords is that you can store the previous zords within the train, perfect for storage.

I missed the opportunity to purchased a used Supertrain Megazord for 40.00. The place is now closed.

That Thing is pretty huge, It is taller than a MG.
