043899 – 96900 – 2 inch 6 Pack – $19.99
043909 – 96905 – 5 inch 6 pack – $49.99

Those last two items are unconfirmed to be related to Super Megaforce, however they are Toys R Us exclusives. Meanwhile Target’s system featured 25 4″ Super Megaforce figures listed, as well as 4-key multipacks, unknown blind bags (possibly ranger keys) listed at $2.99 and another 6 figure pack listed at $19.99

As far as Anniversary items goes there were these two items listed in Toys R Us:

Name: PR Legacy Megazord
Price: $79.99
TRU Item # – 030223
Bandai Assortment – 96845

Name: Dragon Dagger
Price: $79.99
TRU Item # – 043894
Bandai Assortment – 96840

As this would be a rather hefty price tag for the announced Legacy Dragonzord people are speculating that it could be the previously revealed Jumbo Megazord. However as the Dragon Dagger is also commanding this high price its anyone’s guess right now.

Looking forward to these forthcoming items and Power Rangers Super Megaforce? Share your excitement after the jump!

It’s been a while since we’ve seen one of these!

That’s right, Power Rangers Megaforce finally returns to television screens this Saturday, and to fuel the hype Nick.com have put up a clip of this weekend’s episode – titled “Man and Machine”. The clip itself isn’t visible to those outside of the US, so as usual our friends over at Rangercrew/Samuraicast blog have uploaded the clip to Youtube, which you can view below.

The summary for the episode is:
“When a shadow-stealing monster attacks, the Rangers must teach Robo Knight the power of teamwork in order to defeat him.”

In 2010, Saban Brands purchased back the rights of the Power Rangers franchise from Disney, signaling a rebirth of the franchise right as it began to approach it’s 20th anniversary. The returning executive producer of many seasons of the franchise, Jonathan Tzachor, reached out to former Power Rangers scribe Amit Bhaumik (writer of the fan-favorite “Forever Red” anniversary episode of Power Rangers Wild Force) to help adapt the Japanese series Samurai Sentai Shinkenger to Power Rangers Samurai.

Working for free and as a favor, Amit wrote character biographies and a base storyline for the series and how it could be adapted. Citing “creative differences” and a “different plan or lack thereof”, we got the Power Rangers Samurai series that we know today – one that kids loved and older fans seemed to dislike.

We see a return to Power Rangers lore with the action happening in Stone Canyon, the rival city and school to Angel Grove, where the original Power Rangers hailed from.

There are some similarities though – Bulk is listed as a character, though instead of being totally inept and dim, he not only knows of Power Rangers but works FOR the Power Rangers – and “Spike” appeared as “Junior”, the son of Bulk, not Skull. And on top of that, “Junior” would create the Gold Samurai Ranger powers and be the traditional “shows up to save the day” 6th Ranger until his identity is revealed.

It’s an interesting read and we invite you to take a look at Amit’s blog.

Click here to read Amit Bhaumik’s original proposal for “Power Rangers Samurai”!

Many cite that the downfall of Power Rangers could eventually happen because of Jonathan Tzachor – it has been whispered among various circles that the marketing department had to step in for Power Rangers Super Megaforce to have an anniversary episode, as Tzachor had no plans for one, hence the “last minute” invites and the fact that it shoves 10 previous Rangers in to one 22 minute episode.

What do you think of this proposal? As an older fan would you have enjoyed this more, or is this just “fanfiction” in your eyes, and wouldn’t make for a good show? Chime in and give us your thoughts!!

The Bluefin/Tamashii Twitter account has confirmed that SH Figuarts Armored TyrannoRanger will be released in October in the United States, a full month ahead of the previously-reported Japanese schedule!

It appears the US buyers have provided a much-needed boost to Figuarts sales with the previous Zyuranger releases and Bluefin probably hopes to keep the profit margins up. :)
