While it has been confirmed that we will be getting the Ranger Keys for Super Megaforce, news from Rangercrew Member Fury Diamond just broke out; whatever Ranger keys were used during Gokaiger are the Ranger Keys that will be appearing in the show.

Sadly, this probably means that we will not be seeing original Gokai Change footage, utilizing the Titanium Ranger or SPD Orange Ranger costumes. This also means that the Spirit Rangers from Power Rangers Jungle Fury will most likely not be seen in Super Megaforce as well.

Note that the keys photoed in this artcile are custom made by zeltrax987.

Alongside Kibaranger, the Tamashii webstore has also started taking preorders for a first appearance costume version of Kamen Rider Skyrider. The “strengthening” version sports a darker colourscheme, but seems to include no different accessories from the original mass release version.

Skyrider will cost 3360 yen and be released in September.

Ain’t It Cool News has posted a new image of FEMA on the set of Godzilla in Vancouver, Canada! More info:
Hey folks, Harry here… with FEMA having a presence in Legendary’s

GODZILLA – I assume we can be guaranteed of an American landfall… even if this FEMA set is actually in Vancouver, where the Godzilla crew is busily making this recovery center. Right now – I’m just imagining a giant Godzilla foot stomping through the arena top and smashing all the injured and recovering folks below. But then, I’ve probably seen GODZILLA VS BAMBI a few too many times! Thanks to our mysterious spy, known only as JEFF

Can FEMA cope with the catastrophic epitome of destruction known as Godzilla? 1 more year to find out!

A new original Toku series, BIMA The Garuda Warrior is set to premiere in Indonesia on June 30th.

But what makes BIMA interesting is that it appears to be officially backed Ishimori Productions with merchandise provided by Bandai.

BIMA the Garuda Warrior tells the story of Ray, a young man from Earth chosen to protect the Earth from an evil named VUDO, whom is out to steal Earth’s natural resources

A trailer for this new show has just been released and can be seen in the link below:

This video from Karen Ashley, better known to fans as “Aisha,” the second Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger, confirms that she will not be participating in Super Megaforce filming due to insufficient actor pay & the inordinate travel expense related to New Zealand filming.

In addition, Matt Austin (Bridge from SPD) has commented on the same video with the unfortunate suggestion that NONE of the Disney-era cast has received invitations from Saban, meaning he & many others will also not be back.

Thanks to Starscream Gaga for the news!

You know it was only a matter of time.

Jason David Frank, who you know best as Tommy Oliver the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, and finally the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder. Today, Jason David Frank, or JDF, posted the following video on his official Facebook page:

The video, entitled “What’s Next Tommy Oliver?”, showcases the Rangers that JDF has been. To top it off, JDF also posted the following regarding his upcoming appearance at Puerto Rico Comic Con 2013:

To all my Fans,
I’m sorry to inform you that I will not be able to attend Puerto Rico Comic Con 2013. Although I enjoyed my time in last year’s event and planned on meeting more of my fans this year, due to circumstances beyond my control, I will not be able to attend. It was a very difficult decision, however, I have decided to partake in a new filming project out of the country that interferes with the event. This is a very important project that I cannot miss.
I am saddened that I will miss the opportunity to meet all my fans because they are very important to me. I hate to cancel any event and disappoint them. I deeply apologize to all my fans that are planning to meet me at Puerto Rico Comic Con, but I am hoping that I will be able to return on a future date to meet with you all.
Again, I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Jason David Frank

Call me crazy but I’m pretty sure this is JDF telling us he’s now involved in Power Rangers Super Megaforce!

(Maybe he can pick up Rhett Fisher on the way?)

What do you guys think? Happy that JDF is returning to Power Rangers? Or are you sick of the series continually going back to Tommy? Voice up your thoughts and opinions! DISCUSS!
