The Power Rangers Movie may have floundered at the box office and with it the hopes of a sequel possibly being dead in the water, but at least in the United Kingdom the Power Rangers brand is swimming strong. According to a new report from the NPD Group, the Power Rangers brand in the UK has seen sales increases of 122.8% for the year and, in April, 185.9% increase from April 2016 numbers.

As of now there are no numbers for how the brand is performing in the United States, however with strong competition from other very popular brands here in the United States (such as Transformers, Marvel Legends, and Star Wars) it is likely that Power Rangers does not rank quite as high domestically. As always, when that information is released, we will report it.

This information is from ToysNews-Online.biz. Other sites are neglecting to report the fact that these numbers are strictly for the UK, leading to a lot of celebration from fans and Power Rangers alumni alike.

Out of left field earlier today came the reveal of the Soul of Chogokin Gipsy Danger Jaeger figure from the Pacific Rim movie. It was on display at the Tamashii Nations Event in New York City, of which we had a couple of staffers attend. Our team dug through the high definition pictures and found three great images that give us a feel of what this figure is going to bring.

Check them out after the jump! Will you be purchasing this figure, especially with a Pacific Rim sequel coming out? Sound off in our discussion thread!

Protect the brands! While this may mean nothing at all it is still worth reporting. As of 04/19/2017 Saban Brands has registered trademarks for “Beetleborgs” and “VR Troopers“, specifically in the realm of live action television series, pre-recorded DVDs, and random clothing apparel items.

For those waiting for Dak and the adventures of Masked Rider to return in some way, shape, or form … you may have to keep waiting. Stay tuned for more news on all this as it develops!

For those of you who like salt please take a moment to swallow a 50lbs bag of it. Coming out of the blue is a claim by the YouTube channel “That Hashtag Show” of a list of returning Power Rangers to Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel airing in 2018. Included in this claim is that many of these returning Power Rangers are around for more than a single episode, and that some have focus episodes (akin to the Jungle Fury episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce).

Again – this is information released by That Hashtag Show (whom have ties with MMPR Toys, Power Morphicon, etc.). However, with the slip of the tongue by the Ninja Steel Red Ranger earlier this year stating that previous Power Rangers were returning for Super Ninja Steel, this may shed some light on what we can expect for the 25th anniversary of Power Rangers.

For the video and the list of supposed returning Power Rangers from That Hashtag Show, please click “Read More”.
