Tonight was Toei’s annual Super Sentai press conference- introducing the world to the 48th Super Sentai team, the Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger!
The initial Boonboomger team consists of:
*BunRed/Taiya Hando portrayed by Haruhi Iuchi– a young man with a burning heart and a passion for cars; he has a hobby of rebuilding and customizing his special vehicle.
*BunBlue/Ishiro Meita played by Yuki Hayama is the teams’ technical expert with a wide array of knowledge who always acts in a professional manner.
*BunPink/Mirai Shifuto portrayed by Suzuki Miu– she is described as a bright and intelligent woman with a tendency to drive off anywhere she finds interesting.
At least two more members will join as the series goes on:
*BunBlack/Jou Akuse played by Saito Ryu– a rookie cop with a serious nature and a history of “comedic” incidents.
*BunOrange/Gemba Bureki portrayed by Satoru Soma described as a gentle but elusive man able to obtain anything he wants from others.
The lives of the Boonboomgers are changed forever thanks to the intervention of Boondorio Boonderas– a strange car shaped alien who crash-landed on Earth and now lives in BunRed’s garage supplying the team with weapons and gear. In combat, Boondorio becomes the main body of Boonboomger Robo. The character will be voiced by veteran VA Rica Matsumoto– who will also perform the ending theme song for the series.
The Boonboomgers will fight against the Space Mafia Hishiriyan! Three Generals from the group were introduced-
*Decotrade (voiced by Junichi Suwabe) is the aggressive troublesome warrior who dreams of advancing in the organization.
*Itasha (voiced by Nana Mizuki is another ambitious soldier.
*Yaiyai Yarker (voiced by Sumire Morohoshi may be the strangest member of the Generals, lacking a humanoid frame & instead appearing as a vehicular body.

ThreeZero is going stronger than before with their latest announcement – the upcoming release of the Power Rangers Zeo team as part of their FigZero collection! FigZero releases from ThreeZero are roughly 12 inch figures with plenty of articulation and accessories. This is the first release of an official Power Rangers figure outside of Mighty Morphin from ThreeZero.
The FigZero Power Rangers Zeo Five Pack will include a set of hand accessories only available in the five pack. On top of that, each Zeo Ranger will come with their signature weapon as well as six swappable hands. This five pack will open for pre-order on January 16th. Because of the exclusivity of an accessory with the five pack, we imagine the Zeo Rangers will also see individual release.
The FigZero Power Rangers Zeo Five Pack will release sometime in Q2 of 2024 (roughly May through July).
