The first news in years for the promised Power Rangers reboot series/movie/special/whatever has dropped and it isn’t good news.  According to TVLine.com, Netflix has decided to move on from the Power Rangers reboot, leaving the in-development project in limbo without a partner.

The Power Rangers brand was purchased by Hasbro back in 2018 for half a billion dollars from Saban Capital Group, but never quite managed to find sure-footing in the entertainment market or the toy aisles.  Hasbro has since licensed out the toy portion of Power Rangers to rival company Playmates, who will offer their first selection of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers toys in 2025.  With Hasbro selling off their entertainment division, eOne, it is very likely that Hasbro will shop off the licensing rights to Power Rangers media as well, using the disappointing development of the Power Rangers reboot series as the catalyst.

While the television and toy news for Power Rangers is disappointing, there is still the BOOM! Studios comics of Power Rangers (which will reportedly undergo a “reboot” themselves this year at the conclusion of the current story-arch) as well as the recently announced Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind retro side-scrolling game.  Those, along with the mobile fighting game Power Rangers Legacy Wars still receiving updates and new characters, the brand is still fighting to find its place.

We’ll keep our eyes and ears out for any news or developments with all things Power Rangers.

The 20th anniversary celebration of Tokusou Sentai Dekranger continues with the announcement of the upcoming Memorial Edition Master License release!

Due out in February 2025 for a price of 11,000 yen, the Memorial Edition Master License appears to be a re-release of the Super Sentai Artisan Master License originally released back at the end of 2017.  This re-release features new voice recordings but, like the original, allows you to choose the verdict during judgement mode.  The Master License is the changer accessory for DekaMaster, also known as the Shadow Ranger in Power Rangers S.P.D.

You can pre-order the Memorial Edition Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger Master License through site sponsor Tokullectibles.  Click here to secure your pre-order today.

The official X account of ARK: Survival Ascended has teased an upcoming collaboration with everyone’s* favorite team of Power Rangers – the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!  This comes both as a surprise as well as a no-brainer.  Fans have long theorized or even assumed that Power Rangers would make their way into Fortnite, and despite multiple rumors, nothing has ever come to fruition.

What is ARK: Survival Ascended?  The game is an action-adventure survival genre game featuring dinosaurs.  Players start on an island and have to forage, gather, and craft their way to survive.  As you progress, you can tame dinosaurs, breed dinosaurs, and eventually conquer the in-game boss(es).  The game can be played both in offline mode (for single player), or online in both PvE (players vs enemies) and PvP (player vs player) modes.  The possibilities with a Power Rangers collaboration – likely an approved mod that would change the dinosaurs to the classic Mighty Morphin style and variety – is truly endless.

The teaser includes the date of June 17th, 2024.  Stay tuned for more details.

Hot on the reveal and announcement of the S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron news from yeseterday, Tamashii Nations has already announced another entry into the Kamen Rider Gaim era of Shinkocchou Seihou – the Ichigo and Pine Arms Change Set!

With Shinkocchou Seihou, you can swap out the armor on your Kamen Rider Gaim figure!  So rather than release a whole new figure with the armor, this looks to just be an armor set.  The designer of this has stated they will also work on the S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Baron figure as well.

On an unrelated side note – we are fast approaching the 100th release for the S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou series.
