A VERY interesting new rumor has just hit the Web!

An article in USA Today noticed by the good people at RangerCrew describes the 22nd Season of Power Rangers to begin in 2015 as “Power Rangers Dino Charge.” The story-

In Dino Charge, the Paragon Prisms were given to a dozen dinosaurs for safe keeping by an alien, but they were lost when asteroids hit the Earth and wiped out the dinos. Now in the present day, an intergalactic bounty hunter starts sniffing around Earth looking for the Prisms in order to harness their power and annihilate the world, so a team of Power Rangers forms to find the Prisms first and fight the bounty hunter and other threats with dino-powered swords, blasters, Zords (in Power Rangers lingo, large fighting machines) and Megazords

If this is indeed true it means Saban has skipped Go-Busters source footage and is moving right to Kyoryuger- which we previously heard was not allowed based on their current licensing agreement with Toei. Curiouser and curiouser…

In a recent press release, Saban has announced that for better or for worse they’ll be continuing their successful current partnership with Nickelodeon into 2016.

The President of Saban Brands Elie Dekl had this to say about the continued partnership:

“Our partnership with Nickelodeon has been instrumental in maintaining the popularity of the Power Rangers brand and introducing the series to a new generation of kids. Furthermore, our Power Rangers partnership with Bandai has remained strong throughout the past two decades as they continue to develop new products that kids love around the world. We are thrilled to extend the agreements with both Bandai and Nickelodeon, and look forward to continuing these strong partnerships for years to come.”

The ultimate Power Rangers DVD collection is only a couple of months away (December 3rd) from being at your doorsteps. With a limited run of 2000 copies being made, each individually numbered, time is running out for you to order your set! To help influence your decision, Brian Ward of Shout! Factory took to YouTube to give you a little insight on what the DVD of bonus features that’s exclusive to this set has to offer you.

  • Music retrospective with Ron Wasserman
  • Writing the Legacy with Tony Oliver, Doug Sloan, Jackie Marachand, and more
  • A look at the Villains with Robert Axelrod, Barbara Goodsend, Vernon Wells, and more
  • The SDCC 2012 20th Anniversary Panel
  • Green Ranger Kata
  • And more!

This set, along with every single season of Power Rangers spanning from the first episode of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers to the last episode of the current season of Power Rangers Megaforce, comes with a 100 page booklet, a total of 6 DVDs of bonus features (1 DVD being the exclusive content listed above), and probably the coolest DVD holder known to mankind with the Red Ranger helmet (note: you can’t wear it).

Pre-order your copy by clicking here! Keep in mind, it’s a steep $650 but can you really pass up this opportunity?

NOTE: It was stated back around SDCC 2013 (but not covered much) that the ONLY way to get Samurai/Super Samurai/Megaforce complete seasons was to purchase this collection, as Lionsgate holds the DVD rights to these new seasons. We will look in to this and see if that statement is still true.

The always hilarious Black Nerd (@BlackNerdComedy) got to visit the folks at Shout!Factory (the ones who created the Power Rangers DVD box sets) and they video-taped it! But there’s something mysterious going on…

While celebrating their 10th Anniversary, they have a box labeled “20th Anniversary” with a lightening bolt. Upon the Black Nerd stealing the box, a light shines out followed by the classic communicator alert from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

So … Ranger nation, what’s in the box?
