It’s been almost 2 years since Kamen Rider W’s end, and it seems as though Bandai isn’t done with Gaia Memories quite yet.

Bandai has just announced that new batch of Rider Memories is in the works. Unlike the last batch of Rider Memories that came out, instead of a Kamen Rider’s face, this time they’ll be releasing the Rider insignias plastered on the Memories, and so far the following have been announced:

First Image:
Fourze, PuToTyra Combo, Decade Complete, Kabuto Hyper, Hibiki Armed, Blade King, Kuuga Ultimate, V3, X, Skyrider, ZX, Black RX, and ZO.

2nd Image:
Wizard, Fourze Cosmic States, Kiva Emperor, Den-O Liner, Faiz Blaster, Ryuki Survive, Agito Shining, Rider #1, Rider #2, Riderman, Stronger, Black, Shin, and J.

So far, no word on the pricing, release date, or release method has been announced.

Thanks to Tokunation member PkmnMstr for giving us the heads up!

It seems everyday we have new information to share about possible cast appearing in Power Rangers Super Megaforce! We only post things when we have a solid lead that it’s a possibility … we know that Saban Brands has contacted many past actors, but we only post the rumors of people returning when they drop hints.

This is another instance of a possible hint.

Jason Faunt who played Wes the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Time Force posted on his personal Facebook about the locations he was headed to for work. He mentioned Detroit. He also mentioned New Zealand and laughed about living out of hotels for awhile.

Is Jason Faunt headed to New Zealand to appear in a cameo for Power Rangers Super Megaforce? What do you think? Do you want Wes to return? Share your thoughts!

Once again, photos from Instagram will give us previews of what’s upcoming for Super Megaforce, though sadly the original source has been deleted.

This time, it’s not a rumor or anything speculative, but rather a look at the card backings for the upcoming toy line.The packaging also confirms that the ranger keys will indeed be part Super Megaforce’s gimmick.

Previously speculated but now confirmed, Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2 will only run for 13 episodes. Listings have just gone up at CD Japan for the Blu-Ray release of the series. The description for volume 4 sadly confirms that much like Akibaranger Season 1 there will only be 13 episodes.

However don’t be too sad. Season 1 ran for 13 episodes but garnered love from fans all over the world, the series was a commercial and critical success. Fans demanded more and the show returned for it’s triumphant 2nd Season , which is already shaping up to be the same kind of success. In this writer’s (and fan’s) opinion this series may continue this formula if there are further installments after this year. It’s been successful doing so thus far, so why change things up now?

There’s bound to be some contraversy on this one. Samuell Benta, who played the Black Ranger known as Will in Power Rangers Operation Overdrive left a mysterious tweet the other day that has many believing he’s been contacted to return for a cameo in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. The tweet is as follows:

Hmmmmm a certain show has requested that i come back…. What could it be….

Now, to the contraversy surrounding Samuell Benta and why so many, including myself, wish he’d stay as far away from Power Rangers as possible.

The first Power Morphicon was a huge success, hence why it’s returned every other year since then. The entire cast of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive was in attendance. There were four official banners that all the guests signed and were going to be auctioned off on eBay with the earnings donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Samuell Benta (allegedly) took one of the banners and, on his own without the assistance of staff, went about getting signatures from all the guests. Upon the closing ceremonies of Power Morphicon, the organizers asked Benta for the banner – Benta refused to return the banner, stating he was going to keep it for himself as a souvenir from the convention. That’s right – he willingly chose to keep a banner meant to be auctioned off for sick and dying children. He admitted that he had it, that he took it, and that he was keeping it. He knew that it was going to be auctioned off for charity but still chose to keep it for his own personal collection.

So Power Rangers fans, do you want Samuell Benta to return for the anniversary season of Power Rangers Super Megaforce? Let us know!

 

UPDATE 02/26/2020
Samuell Benta has released a YouTube video stating that he never took a banner meant for children – that in fact he set it down and a fan must have taken it.
