under Power Rangers

Jason David Frank spoke with TMZ.COM while filming for Super Megaforce in New Zealand this week. We’ve all seen the images by now of Jason David Frank wearing his Green Ranger costume from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. But the video below tells us even more!

Jason states:

I’m not doing this for the money. I told you guys I’d do this for a dollar, and I mean it. I’m doing this for the fans. I had a chance to read the script and it’s great. This year is going to be awesome. Tommy’s back! The Green … AND the White Ranger make a cameo!

I think everyone can agree – it’s going to be a long wait to see this “Mega War“.

I think the picture says enough.

Jason David Frank has confirmed via images from his official Facebook page that is has indeed returned for a cameo role in Power Ranger Super Megaforce with two totally awesome (they are awesome) pictures.

The first photo is an on-set scene that looks to take place during the Legandary War (a scene where ALL the Power Rangers are fighting). He is standing with Hector David Jr, Brittany Pirtle, Patricia Ja Lee, Selwyn Ward, and Danny Slavin. It’s interesting to note that he is holding the Green Ranger helmet used in Power Rangers Dino Thunder (20 years and they STILL can’t get the suit right, haha!).

In the second image, which looks to be just for fun, he’s given his Dragon Shield to the Green Samurai Ranger.

Check out these awesome pictures! Let the hype begin!!

The next set of the Power Rangers Action card game has been revealed. The Series 3 Universe of Hope boosters will be released in July, and a new starter deck will be coming out sometime at the end of the month.

Though the exact card listing remains unknown, we do know that set 3 will contain cards based on the Zeo, Time Force, Dino Thunder, Wild Force, and Jungle Fury seasons.

Thanks to user Kamen Blitz for the heads up!

As we reported the other day, the 10 Power Rangers Super Megaforce cameos had flown out to New Zealand and were sharing pictures from their trip. Thanks to many of their Facebook accounts and Instagram photos, we have some new pictures to share with everyone!

We finally see Selwyn Ward (TJ, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers In Space) as well as Melody Perkins (Astronema/Karone, Power Rangers In Space, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy), as well as Danny Slavin (Leo, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy).

A bit surprising to see however is Patricia Ja Lee (Cassie, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers In Space) who was NOT listed as one of the 10 returning cameos. And just as fitting we see Koichi Sakamoto, who served as everything from stunt director to executive producer over the years for Power Rangers.

Our cameo actors should be returning home in the next couple of days. In the meantime, we’ll continue to bring you any new and exciting photos that they decide to share of their Power Rangers reunion adventure!

NOTE: Where exactly is Jason David Frank? He has yet to be seen with any of the other cameo actors. Is he involved in something bigger? Or is he purposely avoiding photography so he can make a big announcement about his return (as he’s stated that there is no confirmation about him in Super Megaforce unless he says it). Soon as we know (or see), we’ll let you know![/size]

Go Go Power Rangers!

under Godzilla

Hot on the heels of the magazine scans of the forthcoming S.H. Monsterarts Millennium series MechaGodzilla/Kiryu figure, Bandai’s Tamashii website has updated with some official images of their own. These images give us a closer look at the figure, as well as a side shot with the weapons pack removed.

Meanwhile, Bluefin have confirmed over on their Facebook page that they will be releasing Kiryu in October (one month after Japanese release). Details on the price are still pending.

Check out the official images after the jump!

under Kamen Rider

Hot off the heels of the RAH G3X, Medciom has announced that Kamen Rider G4 will be released as a nice follow up.

While it doesn’t look like this figure will include a swappable Shiro Mizuki head, he has been shown to include his own personal arsenal: The GM-01 R4 and the Gigant, which was also used by Kamen Rider Decade in the All Riders film.

Pre orders will begin on May 24th and will be released on January 2014. RAH G4 will be sold as a Premium Club exclusive, retailing for a whopping 21,000Yen

under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

First teased at a Tokyo Toy Show several months ago (and in the beginning of Akibaranger S2 shortly after), this is our first look at Hurricane Red!

The wind hows & sky rages in September for his release. All for only 3990 Yen!

UPDATE:We now have a new image, this time from Figure-Oh magazine. Kiryu will include a red-eyed berserk head, chest flaps that open to reveal the Absolute Zero Cannon, leg thrusters, and what looks to be an incredibly articulated tail! Thanks to our friends at The Daytime Ninja for the heads-up!

Did you think Bandai had really forgotten about the King of the Monsters, Godzilla? Worried about the state of the S.H. MonsterArts toyline? Not anymore!

Among this month’s crop of leaked Hobby Japan scans is this single image depicting the Millenium incarnation of MechaGodzilla, also known as Kiryu!

Kiryu is in his first appearance from the 2002 film Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla and will be a standard release for September. This Godzilla-powered cyborg retails for 10,290 yen, standing 15.5 cm or just over six inches tall. We have no details on accessories and alternate pieces yet, but fans will be happy to know that unlike the Heisei MechaGodzilla and Garuda, Kiryu’s weapons/jetpack is already included!

More details and a confirmation of release from North American licensed importer Bluefin are inevitable, so stay tuned!
