In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, Bandai’s Candy Toy Blog has released an official teaser image of the long awaited Gao King Super Minipla! For the time being all we have is this silhouette of Gao King as well as the silhouettes of the 6 Shodo Super Gaorangers in the background.

However, this teaser also promises more information to come next month, on March 5th & 6th. Today, February 18th in Japan, officially marked the 20th anniversary of Gaoranger in Japan, and in honor of that Toei will be livestreaming an event via youtube with the official reveals of both the Shodo Super Gaorangers & Super Minipla Gao King. Tune in then for more release info!

UPDATE 8:45 PM EST – Toys are not being reissued as a part of the show coming back to South Korea.

In a pretty odd turn of events, South Korea is set to see it’s third out with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger in 2020! This news comes straight from Yong San Power Rangers event, which you can see a video of HERE from youtube channel [림호]Tokusatsu. Gaoranger, like many sentai, has a bit of an odd history in South Korea. Super Sentai had been imported to the country since 1989 with Flashman. However in 1994, the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was imported and dubbed in Korean as “Invincible Power Rangers”.

The trend of Power Rangers being imported and dubbed continued until 2003 when Power Rangers Wild Force was brought in as “Power Force Rangers”. After this point Super Sentai was directly imported and dubbed again. Jump to 2010 and Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger was at last imported in it’s original form and dubbed over as “Power Rangers Jungle Force”, in lieu of airing Shinkenger, which at the time was seen as too Japanese for the Korean market. Now, it looks as though South Korea will once again be seeing Gaoranger next year in it’s Jungle Force dub, set to stream on the Korean Power Rangers youtube channel!

The wild ride is over, Power Rangers Wild Force/Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger month has come to an end with this final Gallery! And today we’re taking a look at a very special release, DX Gao Hutner Silver Chrome edition! This promo set was only available in mainland Asia as a part of a special giveaway. It swaps nearly all plastic colors for silver chrome aside from some key points which feature flat grey plastic instead. These releases were not packaged in a complete boxed set like normal Gao Hunter but were instead released only in individual boxes.

It should be noted that while released in mainland Asia in Gaoranger packaging this set is actually based on the Korean release of the figure. And Korean Gaoranger DX’s are actually made from an entirely separate 2nd production run made specifically for release in that region. As a result diecast parts were removed in most cases and the plastics were of a significantly lower quality. However this set still features diecast shoulders. And it also has nylon strands under Gaolligator’s front legs that are present in the US release which secure them if they come off their hinges. Making this set is a bit of a frankenstein’s monster. As may be evident in the photos, reflective chrome is hard to photograph properly :p

So thanks so much for sticking with us throughout this long month of tributes and photos! Next month we close the year with Power Rangers Megaforce & Super Megaforce! To celebrate we’re going to be bringing you complete galleries of the entire DX line from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

Just a few short days before our Power Rangers Wild Force tribute is over and “Gaollery” number 15 is here! Straight from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger is this special repaint of DX Gao Hunter.

Gao Hunter Blue Moon appears only once in the course of Gaoranger. In Quest 40. This form was only accessible because Gao God sealed the Power Animals and Sky Island off from the Gaorangers leaving them helpless, as a test. Only Gao Silver was able to still call forth his Animals. And in the midst of losing a battle the other 5 Gaorangers boosted Hunters power by offering their own, creating Gao Hunter Blue Moon!

Blue Moon swaps all the green plastics of the standard release for blue, which effectively means that Gaolligator is the only figure that shows any differences, Hammerhead and Wolf are unchanged from their initial releases. Gao Hunter Justice is the only version of this mecha that’s capable of using this form in show as well. Though the DX toy can still assume Justice or Evil form.

AND be sure to tune in Sunday for a special bonus “Gaollery” to round out our month long tribute!
