Bandai Japan has released a teaser for the next entry in the Shodo SUPER toyline.
The next Super Sentai to be released in this new series will be 2001’s Hyakuju Sentai GaoRanger (which Western fans will recognize as the source material for Power Rangers Wild Force).
Based on previous release patterns, this likely means a Super Minipla release for the Gaoranger mecha in the near future as well!
Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this new Shodo SUPER entry.
UPDATE 8:45 PM EST – Toys are not being reissued as a part of the show coming back to South Korea.
In a pretty odd turn of events, South Korea is set to see it’s third out with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger in 2020! This news comes straight from Yong San Power Rangers event, which you can see a video of HERE from youtube channel [림호]Tokusatsu. Gaoranger, like many sentai, has a bit of an odd history in South Korea. Super Sentai had been imported to the country since 1989 with Flashman. However in 1994, the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was imported and dubbed in Korean as “Invincible Power Rangers”.
The trend of Power Rangers being imported and dubbed continued until 2003 when Power Rangers Wild Force was brought in as “Power Force Rangers”. After this point Super Sentai was directly imported and dubbed again. Jump to 2010 and Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger was at last imported in it’s original form and dubbed over as “Power Rangers Jungle Force”, in lieu of airing Shinkenger, which at the time was seen as too Japanese for the Korean market. Now, it looks as though South Korea will once again be seeing Gaoranger next year in it’s Jungle Force dub, set to stream on the Korean Power Rangers youtube channel!
The setup for Toyfair 2019 continues, with a new handful of images from Hasbro highlighting the great new changes to the Power Rangers franchise!
