I think the picture says enough.

Jason David Frank has confirmed via images from his official Facebook page that is has indeed returned for a cameo role in Power Ranger Super Megaforce with two totally awesome (they are awesome) pictures.

The first photo is an on-set scene that looks to take place during the Legandary War (a scene where ALL the Power Rangers are fighting). He is standing with Hector David Jr, Brittany Pirtle, Patricia Ja Lee, Selwyn Ward, and Danny Slavin. It’s interesting to note that he is holding the Green Ranger helmet used in Power Rangers Dino Thunder (20 years and they STILL can’t get the suit right, haha!).

In the second image, which looks to be just for fun, he’s given his Dragon Shield to the Green Samurai Ranger.

Check out these awesome pictures! Let the hype begin!!

Let the Super Megaforce cameo speculation finally be put to rest! Earlier tonight, Alison MacInnis, or Dana the Pink Ranger in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, confirmed that she was the 10th and final cameo Power Ranger returning for a reunion in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

The following list was revealed by Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com some time ago, with Alison MacInnis being the final addition to the list tonight.

Jason David Frank (“Tommy”, MMPR, PRZ, PRT, PRDT)
Danny Slavin (“Leo”, PRLG)
Melody Perkins (“Astronema”, “Karone”, PRiS, PRLG)
Reggie Rolle (“Damon”, PRLG)
Selwyn Ward (“TJ”, PRT, PRiS)
Sean Johnson (“Carter”, PRLR)
Alison MacInnis (“Dana”, PRLR)
Jason Faunt (“Wes”, PRTF)
Hector David Jr (“Mike”, PRS)
Brittany Pirtle (“Emily”, PRS)

We’ve included images that these former Power Rangers have posted on their flight to New Zealand. Apparently the entire first class was filled with Power Rangers! What a Power Rangers fan wouldn’t give to be on that flight right now…

Special thanks to Fury Diamond for all the glorious inside information on the upcoming reunion. No matter how small their roles may be, the fans are rejoicing to see some of their childhood heroes reunited, if even for a few seconds.

NOTE: Jason David Frank actually flew out on Monday, a couple of days prior to the rest of the cast. He is most likely already on set. Could he be there longer to film something closer to a tribute than a cameo for Tommy Oliver? Stay tuned… Go Go Power Rangers!

Rangercrew Member Fury Diamond once again breaks some news for Super Megaforce.

Not counting the Samurai Rangers, it seems that only 10 past actors have signed contracts to reappear on Super Megaforce.

Earlier, Jason Faunt has confirmed that he will be reprising his roll as Wesely Collins, in addition to David Slavin and Jason David Frank whom both confirmed that they will be making cameos.

Fury Diamond’s exact post is as follows:

One of my sources has confirmed that 10 past cast members have signed contracts and already completed their fitting. Some of these cast members are not active with the fandom and Power Rangers conventions. Jason Faunt confirmed earlier today and Danny Slavin may be one of the other cast members. The Samurai Cast members are not included in the 10 members.

Several cast members got the invite but didn’t get the uninvite letter. They are waiting for production to make a decision. These cast members are very excited to return.

My guess is that the production team only allocated for 10 past cast members.

Update:

Fury Diamond has now confirmed the 10 actors that will be appearing in Super Megaforce, from Diamond’s exact Post here is the list of confirmed Actors that are gonna appear in Super Megaforce:

I got off the phone with my source with a fun list of confirmed cameos. I am waiting confirmation for the final one. They said that only 10 members were confirmed. I don’t know whether they are planning for additional cameos since several cast members are still waiting for confirmation / uninvites.

As fans go forward with collecting, there is a progressive amount of stuff found to collect. Perhaps you wanted to go beyond mass produced toys, and wanted to buy prototypes? Luckily for us, in this day and age, prototypes/testshots and what have you, are usually readily available for auction on the internet. While some may refrain from buying these, these auctions at least give us images of toys before production. Sometimes these toys change by final production, sometimes they just aren’t produced at all due to cancellation. With that said, sometimes online auctions are our only glimpses at “what could have been”.

So on this rainy day lets take a look at some select Power Rangers prototypes on ebay:

As alluded to before, maybe you don’t want to buy these, but just want to see how these toys were before final production? If that’s the case, we’ve mirrored the images from the aforementioned auctions. Note: most of the links are to private auctions. Sellers include gmlenterprises, lawijki & mj_var.

On May 24th, 2002, famed Power Rangers scribe Amit Bhaumik finished his final draft of an episode of Power Rangers Wild Force that was meant to serve as a celebration/anniversary episode for 10 years of Power Rangers. Those of you who follow and are fans of Power Rangers will know that episode forever as Forever Red, probably the greatest “fanboy” moment in all of Power Rangers nearly 20 year history.

The story was total fan-service – remnants of the evil Machine Empire (Power Rangers Zeo) had regrouped on the surface of the moon to dig up Lord Zedd’s personal zord, Serpentera (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). In a mission deemed top secret, veteran Power Ranger and team leader Tommy Oliver (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, Power Rangers Zeo, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers Dino Thunder) gathered together all the Red Rangers of the past (minus Rocky) to team up and destroy the remnants of the Machine Empire as well as Serpentera.

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Power Rangers 10th Anniversary, Amit Bhaumik has updated his personal blog with some details regarding the early days of drafting Forever Red, including new photos and scans of some of the original drafts/ideas/etc.

Share your favorite memories of Forever Red in our discussion thread attached via this story. Is Forever Red the best Power Rangers team up? Or was Once a Ranger a better team-up? Maybe you just prefer the team-ups mid season between two teams like “Reinforcements from the Future”. Join in the discussion!
