Many, Many, Many New toy images were shared with us over social media yesterday and I thought I would share a few of them with you to get you excited to start buying later on this year. Many of the release dates are not known yet, but here are some of my favorites!
Read on because this article is MEGA image heavy!

** Action Figures **

_DSC4090Here are the Ultra Mode 4″ Figures from Megaforce. As expected there is some paint missing from what we will see in the show, but as I said this was expected. I actually like the way they look! I will definitely buy these!

_DSC4079The Basic Figures of the Megaforce Figures are totally getting Metallic versions and I am soooo happy about this! I love when figures go clear or go metallic! You can’t see Blue but he is in there!

_DSC4096Another thing I am MEGA excited for is it looks like some of our Classic Rangers are getting metallic figures as well. Here we can see the 4″ versions of the MMPR Red and White, but LOOK in the back you can see a 4″ Lost Galaxy Red Ranger! MAHH! All I can say is that I hope we get all of the Reds or at least a few more than this because I would want them all! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Megaforce: Episode 1 “Mega Mission” Review

Posted In: Episode Review,Power Rangers MegaForce

title

Well here we go! This is my first Power Rangers Megaforce episode review and I am pretty excited! First of all I have to say that this episode lived up to every expectation I had for the series. There was so much Mighty Morphin’ Fan Service while also supplying us with ample knowledge of who the Rangers are as people. Many PR seasons throughout the last twenty years haven’t really set up the Rangers because they were busy attempting to escalate the battle to the Zords. In this episode we got to know who each of the Rangers are, how they become Rangers, how they fight and kick ass and the episode ends. AND we got to see Episode 1 first! LOL. Fabulous, it make me wanting more and I cannot wait to see episode 2 so that we can see the Mechazords and the Gosei Great Megazord in action. So let’s go through the story! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters: Missioon 45-46 Reviews

by Kadam1991 on February 2, 2013 at 10:37 am
Posted In: Reviews,Super Sentai,Tokumei Sentai Gobusters

Mission45

The show opens in the usual New Year-way. The cast in kimonos (I think they’re kimonos anyway), directly addressing the audience…the usual. It just changes when they find out that Hiromu didn’t wish for anything this year! Hiromu says that you should work on getting things, and not rely on God. That makes sense. ALARMS!

The Go-Busters find some Buglers doing something with an iPad and it doesn’t take long for them to be scrapped. Unbeknown to the Busters though, two Buglers have survived and watch the Go-Busters leave. Suspicious. They return to the EMC, well, except for Hiromu – He meets his sister (Remember her?) and Nick elsewhere. Rika quickly hands over some presents and then walks off. She has somewhere to be apparently. I love how Nick is more concerned than Hiromu here. She has ‘business’ and a ‘real fight’. A ‘real fight’? That’s some strange terminology if you’re not actually fighting there, Rika.

At the EMC, Yoko notices Gorisaki dragging Ryuuji outside in a suit, saying that he’s got a ‘real fight’. Curious. Yoko finds a picture of a bride in that room. Even curious-er. Nick and Hiromu return to the EMC where Yoko is discussing the picture with everyone else. Yoko suspects that it’s a marriage interview. Oh yes, it’s the marriage interview episode of the year! Jin mentions that if it goes well, Yoko will have an older sister…sort of! Of course, Nick assumes that Rika has a marriage interview too!

Elsewhere, Gorisaki introduces Ryuuji to his ‘bride-to-be’, Satou Rena. Gorisaki goes to leave but Ryuuji pulls him to the side, confused by this whole situation. Gorisaki reveals that he set up this marriage interview because it’s ‘about time for him’. Ryuuji refuses to go along with this…well, until Gorisaki mentions that it would be rude to leave now. Thinking about it, this must be such a weird situation for Rena – being introduced to a guy by a blue humanoid gorilla. Are civilians in this world just accustomed to robots and whatnot? ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

First Look at the Megaforce Morph!

by cupofwater03 on January 30, 2013 at 9:59 pm
Posted In: Power Rangers MegaForce

megaforce

Check out our first glimpse of the Megaforce Mega Morph thanks to RangerCrew!


I am so happy with this morph and I was glad that it had elements from Goseiger, but also added in lots of nostalgia. First we get “It’s Morphin Time” and “GoGo Megaforce” but the morphing sequence is very reminiscent of SPD and Dino Thunder’s Morphs from the past.

There have been some editing errors pointed out such as we can see the Japanese and the word Gosei _Color_ on the cards. It was also apparent that the sleeve of Troy was actually the sleeve of Alata just edited differently, Lots of fans were quick to nitpick these little details.
The dubbing and color also seems to be a bit off, but all I can say is that I am still wowed by this sequence and I am optimistic about Megaforce coming on Saturday!

What did you think of the sequence?
Which Ranger did you like the best?

“Isn’t the smallest chance of victory enough of a reason for us to keep on fighting? The world needs us, Rangers.” – Jason Lee Scott

It was in my original contract with Morphin’ Legacy to do some Ranger Psychological profiles at least once a week.  My inability to write much of anything lately has thusly docked my pay by 24%, now contractually unredeemable due to the original agreement.  And I have to send back my free t-shirt; it’s a mess.

Nah, everything above is a bunch of nonsense.  I write this crap for fun.  I doubt anybody on the staff is organized enough to figure out a payroll….if we got money for our articles.  Fuck it: here’s the first of many Ranger Psychological Profiles! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Ranger Fans in the UK got a fantastic present today as it was revealed that the “7th Mystery Ranger; Lauren” Figure has been released in the UK first and not in the US.
The package comes as a mystery as you are not able to see what the figure looks like until you open the packaging. It’s very mysterious and I want one! Hell I want more than one!

IMG_0333_zpsd03a6bbb

Here is a comparison of the figure next to Red Ranger figure of Jayden! I would think that this figure would be easy to release because it seems to be a Red Ranger helmet with a repainted female Ranger body!
I want this figure so bad. So far, there is no word if it will ever be released in the US. Most of us will have to resort to Ebay to get the figure!

Here is a video review of the figure! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

New Video From Morphin’ Legacy: TITANIUM!

Posted In: Ranger Legacy,YouTube Videos

morphin legacy

YOUTUBE REMOVED MY VIDEO, BUT YOU CAN STILL VIEW IT ON TUMBLR, CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW THE TEXT!

Months ago I heard the song “Titanium” by David Guetta featuring Sia and I knew right away that someone should make a video dedicated to the Titanium Ranger! I sort of waited a while for someone else to make one as I assumed one would pop up in the Tumblr PR tag or on Twitter etc and as the months went on it seemed no one was going to do one. (Unless somehow I’ve missed one on YouTube)
My first attempt to make the video began to make me angry because the video quality was not up to par with what I wanted in my video so I shelved the idea for quite some time.
As my tiny chats went on over the last few months I decided to run the idea by my followers in the chat room and see how they reacted to the idea, it seemed as if everyone loved the idea. But again, my laziness and frustration with the project got the best of me. Suddenly, I decided to try once more and success! The video is now finished and I couldn’t be happier.
This video is dedicated to Ryan’s journey to become the Titanium Ranger on the side of good and overcoming his past with the family he never knew. I hope you enjoy it!

Power Rangers Megaforce Cast Interviewed by FanLalaTV!

interviews

FanLaLaTV on YouTube interviewed the Power Rangers Megaforce cast in their Ranger suits!
For me, this was the first time I had ever heard the voices of Azim, Andrew, Christina and John so I was pretty excited about that!
It seems as if the cast has watched PR in the past and are pretty excited for the start of their new Season and being apart of the 20 year legacy!
Andrew described Troy as a loner/outsider and newcomer in town who gets by with his confidence.
Christina describes Emma as very environmental; sounds like Kimberly ;)
Azim describes Jake as the goof  ball of the group who also lovers Soccer! Jake is extremely athletic and can solve any problem with his athleticism!
John describes Noah as the best friend of Jake and an introvert. Noah always has his laptop with him and can solve any problem presented. Sounds like an Ethan/Billy hybrid!
Ciara describes Gia as very confident and physical, into her studies and a perfectionist. Her best friend is Emma!

It was great seeing them speak for once! I can’t wait!

Megaforce Promo Arrives & My Thoughts!

Posted In: 20th Anniversary,My Thoughts,Power Rangers MegaForce,Promos

megaforceWatch the clip above thanks to PRSamuraiCast/RangerCrew for capturing the video from Nickelodeon’s Site.

 

Click here for Teaser #3 which is only slightly different that 1 & 2 and shorter.

 

Teaser #2: Shorter TV Version

This version aired on Nickelodeon on Saturday and is a bit shorter. Some of the scenes are spliced together and the Rangers say “Go-Go Megaforce” instead of the classic “It’s Morphin’ Time!”
I wonder which will be used!

Teaser #1



It’s finally here! We waited, a little impatiently but still, and here it is!
 

Some key moments in the promo to analyze and remember:
- The Warstar Aliens invade in which appears to be stock foottage but we do get to hear Vrak’s wicked voice!
- Emma has a camera and Jake has a volleyball
- Gosei’s voice is similar to Zordon’s
- The Ranger “Keys” or “Figures” appear to be plentiful in the Command Center
- It appears that the Morphin’ Call is the Classic “It’s Morphin’ Time!” while the shorter TV promo uses “Go Go Megaforce!”
- The Rangers use the same poses as the Goseiger
- Earth’s Defenders, Never Surrender is in play!
- Land, Sea and Air play a part of the powers and Zords
-  Inside the Gosei Great Megazord the Rangers say, “Mega Strike!”
- It appears the cockpit of the Gosei Great Megazord has stayed the same!
- The promo used a splice of the Power Rangers Samurai theme and at the end what sounded like the new Megaforce theme!

Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters: Mission 43-44 Reviews

by Kadam1991 on January 18, 2013 at 1:37 pm
Posted In: Reviews,Super Sentai,Tokumei Sentai Gobusters

Mission43

It’s been a week since the previous episode’s cliffhanger. Escapezord (I don’t know its real name) disappeared and hasn’t been found since. There hasn’t been any further Vaglass activity. A little suspicious?  It’s now Christmas…or, near Christmas at least. At the EMC, the team make some Christmas decorations and whatnot for the Dainan District Children’s Centre. Yoko informs Nakamura that’s it’s a tradition of the EMC’s, at which point, Nick and Hiromu stumble in. Notably and surprisingly, Hiromu is dressed as Santa (even though the party is the next day…but you know, it’s better to do a dress rehearsal. Oh yeah, he’s juggling for the kids. Nice call-back). Ryuuji then utters the sentence ‘I hope the Vaglass don’t do anything during this Christmas time’. You’ve jinxed it, Ryuuji. You’ve ruined Christmas.

In a forest-y area Escapezord materializes and inside Escapezord, Escape talks to Messiah. Messiah demands more power, but Escape asks him to be patient and vows that one day she WILL give him a real form once again. Enter interrupts, forcing Escape to disembark. He reveals that two Messiah Cards have awakened simultaneously in the same location. They determine that if they change them into Metaroids, Messiah will grow even more.

The Go-Busters arrive at the Children’s Centre where they meet new teacher Kawai Namie. Nothing really happens in this scene, except that Ryuuji recognizes the teacher from somewhere. Curious. Meanwhile, in a storage room/garage/something, a katana and a shield begin their Metaroid transformation; but Enter intervenes, forcing them to become one combined Metaroid – Kentateroid. The male/female split-in-half Kentateroid invades a plaza, destroying all Christmas decorations in its path! Obviously, it doesn’t take long for the Go-Busters to arrive. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Changes to Morphin’ Legacy Summaries and Reviews

by cupofwater03 on January 17, 2013 at 9:35 pm
Posted In: Updates

morphin legacy

title

A few important announcements regarding where the site’s reviews and summaries going forward into Megaforce.

#1 Summaries to be replaced with Reviews.
Many of you have enjoyed my Episode Summaries throughout Power Rangers Samurai and Super Samurai, and I have done one for each episode.

At first, it was super fun to promote, produce and create these episode summaries. However, over time it began to become an exhausting chore to create them, even with the super long breaks in between episodes. It takes a lot to capture and then put together a summary based on those images.

Therefore, I have decided to cease creating episode summaries and instead create episode reviews which will be in general almost the same thing. I will post only the best images from each episode while creating a few paragraphs about what the episode was about and then a few of my thoughts on the episode as well. This will make it much easier on me and save me time overall.

#2 Move of the Episode Summaries into the Legacy Database.
You can still find the Samurai and Super Samurai Episode Summaries under their respective Seasons under the Legacy Database drop down!
All that hard-work is not going anywhere!

The Episode short-summaries are already available in the Power Rangers Megaforce dropdown and as those go on they will link to the Episode Review just as the Summaries had done!

I just wanted to let you all know of the changes to the site and I hope you will enjoy the reviews as they will resemble our Sentai reviews only they will be written by me, Cupofwater03!

Thank You!

The above image is the first time we have seen the US Cast with Robo Knight.

An interesting tidbit was quoted on the TVGuide website:
“The role of Robo Knight, seen in the photo, will be revealed later in the season.”
Hmm… what could that mean?

The Power Rangers website also got a new look!

Still no word on the first promo for Megaforce, but time is running out to get one before the show premieres!

But this does confirm that we will receive Gosei Ultimate in the toy line! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
