Sad news for those hoping that Jen, the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers Time Force, would be returning for a cameo in the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce season.

Close friend of Erin Cahill, kalenabear posted the following message at our friends at RangerBoard:

Hung out with Erin (Jen, PRTF) last night and she confirmed that she’ll be out of the country in the last two weeks of May (not in NZ), which is when Super Megaforce would be filming the cameos, per Fury’s message. Then Erin sent me this today, referring to Tokunation’s article,
http://www.tokunation.com/showthread.php?t=43499:

“So, a friend just sent me the article below.
Oh no! I don’t want fans to be upset with me!
I TRULY want to do it, but the show is not Union anymore. The bottom line is I can’t risk union status to do it. :-(. I have been so sad over not being able to. How can I reach out to my fans and let them know?
Xoxo
~E~”

We are saddened to know that one of our favorite Pink Rangers will not be returning for Power Rangers Super Megaforce, but we wish Erin Cahill all the best in her continued and storied career!

Without actually coming out and saying it, Jason David Frank posted a picture on his Instagram of the Power Rangers Megaforce logo. As you may remember from an earlier story, Jason David Frank cancelled his upcoming appearance at Puerto Rico Comic Con 2013, citing an important project out of the country that he couldn’t miss. The dates for Puerto Rico Comic Con 2013 are the same for the Super Megaforce cameo filming dates.

So we’re going to go ahead and call this CONFIRMED – Jason David Frank to Appear in Super Megaforce!

For those following the developments of returning cast of previous years for Power Rangers Super Megaforce, you may remember Karan Ashley stating that all previous actors and actresses had received a generic E-mail invitation, nothing personalized, about returning to the show for the 20th Anniversary.

Thanks to Fury Diamond, a copy of said E-mail is now available for all of us to read. What’s enlightening about the E-mail is that Saban Brands states that there was no intention in pre-production to include any veteran Rangers for Super Megaforce. The E-mail continues to try to influence the past actors to return “for your fans”, and states that compensation would be very little in an individual basis.

We are complying to the request of Fury Diamond not to re-post the E-mail here, and are instead giving you a direct link to said E-mail.

What do you guys think? Given the recent backlash aimed at Saban Brands and Jonathan Tzachor by fans for what they feel is them being cheated by what Saban Brands stated would be the “most expensive” season ever at the last Power Morphicon, do you side with the actors refusing to show up because of the lack of compensation? Do you think production is being too cheap? Or do you think some of the actors could spare a four day expenditure to New Zealand for the sake of the fans?

A lot to discuss, so let’s get to it!

Thanks to an poster on 2chan we’ve gotten our first look at the Golden Wizard from the Kamen Rider Wizard Summer Film! Golden Wizard sports a similar design to Wizard himself, albeit with a giant hat shoulder pads and cape. I’m getting a certain Magiking feel from him.

Also seen in this image is the first glimpse of the army of Wizards said to appear in the film. According to leaked rumors about the film everyone will become Wizards for a brief time.
