Saban Brands, the parent company that is behind Power Rangers, has worked out a deal (pending court approval) to purchase the 4Kids! Saturday Morning TV Block. This would mark Saban’s return to running a block of children’s programming not seen since Saban left that market back with Fox Kids in 2001.

Keep in mind that Saban Brands has already been working hard to acquire the license to Yu-Gi-Oh!, one of 4Kids! TV’s hottest shows.

What does this mean for the future of Power Rangers, if anything? Could this be the beginning of the return of cult-classic-favorite Digimon? Stay tuned for details.

While no images have surfaced yet from the Licensing Expo currently being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, we do have commentary from famed and credible Power Rangers fan Fury Diamond. You can find the original post at the Ranger Crew Blog, but we’ve also summarized it here for you.

It would appear that in 2013 there will be two mainstay Power Rangers events – Power Rangers Megaforce and Power Rangers 20. There was a poster for each.

The Power Rangers Megaforce Poster showcased the Goseiger suits, the Goseiger mech, and the new logo. Sorry Gokaiger fans, doesn’t appear to be any type of “merging” going on for the seasons.

The Power Rangers 20 poster is much more interesting. The poster is a close-up of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger’s helmet, and in the visor you can see what would be a reflection of numerous other Rangers – most notably, all previous Red Rangers (including the Quantum Ranger) and in the middle of all of them, The Mighty Morphin White Tiger Ranger.

Stay tuned to TokuNation.com as we will bring you any updates and images as they pop up across the web!

This new press release sheds some interesting light on the recently-confirmed Power Rangers series for next year:

Power Rangers Megaforce introduces a plot line that is sure to captivate audiences with exciting new characters, villains, and high-octane action. The new series features Gosei, a supernatural guardian who for centuries, has protected the earth with his robotic aide, Tensou. But when the evil Warstar aliens begin their massive invasion, Gosei calls upon five teenagers with attitude to form the ultimate team…the Power Rangers Megaforce!

When the teens morph into Power Rangers, they gain superhuman strength, agility, and mastery over martial arts. In addition to defending earth against the Warstar aliens, other monstrous factions emerge to challenge the Megaforce Rangers. Under the leadership of a malevolent alien, toxic beasts rise from their slimy underground lair to attack the Earth and a ruthless robot army launches an offensive from their deep sea compound. In order to face these new threats, the Power Rangers Megaforce unlock powerful battle modes to fight their adversaries. Go Go Power Rangers! – fans can look forward to all new MEGA adventures in 2013.

Hey Power Rangers fans! As you know, next season (2013) will be the 20th Anniversary of our favorite colored spandex heroes! It was recently revealed that the title to next year’s show will be Power Rangers Megaforce! But the question remains – which Super Sentai series is being adapted for Power Rangers Megaforce?

What better way then to ask the fans of Power Rangers!

CLICK HERE TO VOTE!!!

We know that casting for the next series of Power Rangers was put on a sudden hold to re-evaluate plans to celebrate the 20th Anniversary. We know that TOEI re-shot scenes of the Legendary War to feature only Super Sentai teams that were adapted by Saban and Disney. Casting has started again and from casting scripts, there’s talk of Legendary Rangers and Megaforce … but also talks of a Silver Ranger. Is that GoseiKnight or GokaiSilver?

We want you to vote! Do you want to see Goseiger, Gokaiger, or a combination of both series adapted for the 20th Anniversary?

CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR YOUR PREFERENCE!

There’s a licensing expo coming up on Tuesday … we may have more information on Power Rangers Megaforce at that time! Stay tuned for details!
