I’m pretty sure everyone remembers the incident from last year where the developers of the popular upcoming game Chroma Squad were in the midst of possibly being shut down by Saban Brands, the company behind our favorite Power Rangers franchise. After some behind the scenes work (we assume!), Behold Studios released a video announcing the release date of the game – you can play Chroma Squad when it releases on April 30th, 2015.

Chroma Squad was a Kickstarter campaign-funded PC game that allows you, the player, to create and manage your own studio production of a Super Sentai-esq television series. This means hiring a cast, creating suits, buying upgrades, filming battles, and yes – there’s even mech battles within the city that you get to create. This game has been highly anticipated for a long time and it’s great to see it coming out! Check out the release date announcement video below.

You can pre-order the game by going to ChromaSquad.com. The game will be available for PC and Mac, releasing through Steam. We’ve included some screen shots so you can decide if you’re interested or not! What do you think? Do you plan to pick up the game? Discuss!

We’re back with the third release in the Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Ninin Action series of figures! As you already know, these figures from Bandai Japan utilize the style and molds of the toys released by Bandai of America – meaning they are muscular and not super entirely show accurate. But can they make up for a less popular design with fun paint apps and accessories? You’ll have to check out our gallery and our review to find out!

To see the full gallery and review – click here and check out all 25 images of Ki Ninger!! Be sure to post your thoughts on what very well could be the Power Rangers 2017 toy line!

It’s time for the second release in the Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Ninnin Action series – a gallery of the Ao Ninger figure!

Just like with the Aka Ninger figure, this figure is basically a Bandai of America style figure with the large muscles and the short height (it is 5″ now as opposed to the 6″-ish figures that Bandai Japan had released every year prior). This means it scales well with your Power Rangers figures, but not so much with any of your previous Bandai Japan figures.

Check out over 30 images of the Ao Ninger and post your thoughts in the discussion. Click here to go straight to the gallery, review, and discussion. It’s a pretty hot topic – a lot of collectors are unhappy with the direction that Bandai Japan has taken. What are YOUR thoughts on it? Sound off in discussion!

Our gallery is now live for the first release in the Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Ninnin Action series – #01 Aka Ninger!

This year’s Ninnin Action line is a bit of a line-drawer in the sense that unlike previous years, Bandai Japan is now using the same 5″ figures that Bandai of America has been using the last few years – the super muscular bodies that cause havoc when trying to pose the figures accurately to their actions in the actual show. So how did they do in their first run? Are there any differences that we can tell between these figures and the Bandai of America 5″ figures that you can buy at retail right now? Are the accessories the same unpainted soft plastic that we get on this side of the Pacific Ocean?

Check out the full gallery and review by clicking here and find out. We’ll also let you know whether or not these are worth picking up. But at least now they match your Power Rangers figures, right?

DISCLAIMER: We’ve posted this story because it is easily the biggest topic in Power Rangers right now, enough to get it trending on all social media. We believe that fans have the right to view material and make judgments for themselves and do not need us to filter things for them. We do want to stress – THE VIDEO BELOW IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. If you’re a parent reading this with your child in the room, please wait until they are gone before watching this video. Thank you!

Remember those images that leaked awhile back of some ugly looking Power Rangers costumes? Remember that movie that everyone was trying to figure out why Katie Sackhoff was involved? Turns out it was indeed a Power Rangers short film directed by Joseph Kahn, a well-known music video director. The short film has now been released and the entire Internet is exploding over the contents.

Before we link you to anything it needs to be stated – this short film has many adult situations including drugs, nudity, extreme violence, death, guns … basically everything the parents from the 1990’s claimed that Power Rangers was promoting. The reason the short film has these things is Joseph Kahn’s parody of Hollywood – their incessant need to make everything grim-dark and gritty is the reason he decided to take, in his words, “something so incredibly silly” and then turn it in to this.

The story is rough and not incredibly explained – but the gist is that the Machine Empire and the Earth have joined together in an alliance and now Rocky, fitted with a machine leg to boot (and played by James Van Der Beek) has captured Kim (played by Katie Sackhoff) looking for one person – Tommy. Their dialogue explains what has happened to the other characters – Jason, Billy, Zack, and Trini. In these flashbacks is where you get the NOT SAFE FOR WORK content.

The original file has been removed by Saban Brands from VIMEO. The non-nudity YouTube link is below. Please note – THIS IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. THIS VIDEO FEATURES ADULT LANGUAGE AND ADULT SITUATIONS. DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN WATCH THIS.

So … what do you think? Is this something you enjoyed? Is this what you want the upcoming Power Rangers Movie to be like? Or do you hate it with a passion and want to see these types of films never see the light of day? This is a hot and heavy subject – please be courteous to each others’ opinions.
