Earlier today, Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA announced on their Facebook page that they will soon be posting polls for Power Rangers 20th Anniversary toys for next year! This is almost certainly to include certain SH Figuarts Power Rangers however, the specific statement was:

Yo Power Rangers fans, we’re going to be throwing polls up soon so we can figure out what products you want to celebrate your 20th anniversary next year!

This was subsequently followed by a later post:

Do we ask about villains or rangers first? And which villains?

Hence why we mention SH Figuarts, however, by stating “products” Bluefin *may* be implying that they will go beyond figures….

…whether this means the pipe dream(Soul Of Chogokin Daizyujin) of a certain admin here may actually be a possibility remains to be seen. However this news post isn’t just about Bluefin gauging interest for Power Rangers 20th merchandise, we are using this opportunity to ask you, the members of Tokunation;

What do you want to see by Tamashii Nations for the Power Rangers 20th Anniversary?

Discuss!
