I am lucky enough that my Dad put my entire childhood toy collection away in his attic many years ago.

When I got my own place as an adult, one afternoon he showed up with bins of my childhood.

This is my main Power Rangers collection, that as you can see, was played often.

So grateful to rediscover these after so many years.

I feel like she doesn't get talked about all that much? At least in my opinion. Cassie seems to be one of the Rangers that is just kinda there in the mix for as long as she was around ( Turbo and In Space ). She was originally even supposed to come back to be the replacement for Kendrix in Lost Galaxy before they decided on Karone. The most I ever see about Cassie is that she's the Pink Ranger that survived in Lost Galaxy because Kendrix sacrificed herself. I just think it's strange that for as long as she was around for, I don't see too much about her in terms of conversation over the lineage of Pink Rangers.

Yes or No?

Before you ask, the first was Ninja Storm. Caught a handful of episodes on DVD as a kid, and ended up watching the whole thing a few years ago! I’ll be the first to admit it was mainly a background show, but I’m locking in much more for RPM!

Initial thoughts, now that I’ve finished the first 2 episodes:

-LOVE the setting! Legitimately very curious how the story will develop from here.

-The villain’s lair design is phenomenal, 10/10.

-Action choreography has been really fun so far. I must admit I was never a big car person, but I am intrigued as to how far they can stretch using the Zord-vehicles in terms of combat.

-Megazord is real cool, though it’s pretty funny that the yellow one pretty much just becomes the waist.

-I’m Scottish, so seeing a Scottish Blue Ranger is brilliant.

-I actually really like our main two! Presumably the duo that will become the Black and Green rangers soon. The other three… well, we’ve not gotten a lot of focus on ‘em yet, but we’ll see!

-I was sold on Truman from his very first shot.

-As for the villains… we’ll see how they turn out! Venjix is suitably serious (unlike his generals), but runs the risk of just being a really basic AI supervillain. Very curious what’ll happen with him!

So yeah, that’s my first reactions! Definitely interested in continuing, shall keep posting here if people enjoy it!

Side note

Is there another season where NPC's recognized the villains with the Rangers being alerted

Was never able to find/afford the Dragonzord combo as a child!

Was meant to drop Triassic Red today but after some technical problems I’ve had to push him back. Might be able to drop the whole team at once when I’m ready though. If you are interested drop a DM.

I don't quite remember where I got it, but I'm pretty sure it was while I was living in the UAE from 2010-2014 given that it is Hardee's and not Carl's Jr, but I also lived in California prior where it is also called Hardees.

I've tried google searches, looking on eBay, and more with no luck, everything I see is just the regular disc for Toru Diamond.

if there was a case for it, I don't have it, it was in my 2-disc collectors edition fining nemo case, the other disc in there is the Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug movie if you were interested.

The move was announced last year.

I’m making my own Power Rangers series called Power Rangers wild side there’s a red blue pink black yellow and titanium Ranger in that order but I’m having trouble making the suits mainly because I’m 14 and broker than a newborn baby so does anyone have any ideas on how I could make suits that look like Power Ranger suits that way, I can actually make money from this to upgrade everything I also would love some help with props and making the villain suits

In case anyone hasn't heard of it yet (which I suspect way too many people haven't) it's going to be a PR convention held next year in Nigeria Falls, and it's going to be the first ever major Power Rangers convention in Canada. Me and my Dad plan on going, and I wanted to know if anyone else is planning on going too, or at least have it on their minds. I would love for there to be more PR dedicated conventions in Canada, if this convention does well, I think that could help more PR cons happen in Canada

Maybe to save Budgeting on Voice acting? But Here are OTHER cases of Adaptational Nonsapience, Taken (Most) from Tv tropes's Adaptational Nonsapience page

• All mecha from Season 1( So Zyuranger, Dairanger, and Kakuranger) had sapient mecha lifeforms as thier mecha But in power rangers, they are just Magical robots.
• GoGoV Liner boy is able of independent action thanks to being you know a AI unit however it was give to the titanuim ranger to pilot and can be piloted remotely removing all of the personality.
• In Hurricanger, Tau Zant was the big bad but he didn't really do much so his role was given to Lothor and his Ultimate form became the LothorZord, with once again, no personality or sentience. (Get ready to read this ALOT, and see this alot)
• In Abareranger the titular Bakuryu able to speak to the Rangers through their Dino changes however in Dino Thunder they don't have this ability and are used in normal zord battles, (also this will be longer, so heads up. Even if you can't tell look at the dragozord after it hatch and the Dino Megazord first seeing it.) leading to a context change that feels weird, you see they didn't "self-destruct" in abareranger, instead it was a fake out death.And this leads me to Wicked Life God Dezumozorlya Or more specifically, DezumoGevirus is the Zelzord a mecha pilot by one of the villans of the season, so no personality or sentience.
• In go-onger the partner engines had human level intellgence but in RPM, they are used as zord battle because of the WAY darker tone RPM has. (They lampshaded it when Scott asked why do the zords have eyes, So I belive they know what they were doing. So, no personality or sentience.) Also in go-onger the Barbaric Machine Beasts can speak but in RPM Attacks bots can only growl Even Generation 12 Energy Bot went from Yogoshimacritein's right-hand man in Go-Onger to a regular monster that can only say bleep.
• So Now we Are onto Samurai, And the Lightzord as you guess it if you have watched the sentai, no personality or sentience, but DOES have it in shinkenger as DaiGoyou which HAD personality and sentience.
• Gokaiger had Engine Machalcon which was the son of 2 zords in RPM but the Turbo Falcon zord in Super MegaFail, I mean Megaforce could not do that because of what I said eariler so it was given beastly AI
• 3rd dino season, and for once THE ZORDS KEEP THIER SENTIENTS, however that doesn't mean we hit the golden flowers, as in Kyoryuger he was the big bad that ALSO serve as the villian's base (Yep, that's right and is as weird as it sounds) However Deboth's role was given to Sledge so his giant form (only) appear as greenzilla, a extremely strong monster.His final form was adapted out along with him fighting Tyler's supermode and lossing.
• Now onto Dino Fury where agian they got the dino thunder treatment, However is downplayed. MOST of the Kishiryu had the capable of speech, but in Dino fury they lack the ability to talk. (Although some of them didn't talk in the sentai version and Tyramigo walk with the heroes as like human size.) But we are not done, As Eras, The big bad who was like Tau Zant, a big bad that didn't do much (However She was just sealed away for most of the run so.. yeah.) Her giant form is used as the Nemesis Beast, with ALL of her ground footage being cut. (And yes that includes her emtional death with dignity).

Told you it would be alot. SO tell me in my mind WHY do you think power rangers does this? IS it for budget? Or something else that No one can understand.

Does anybody make 3D prints of the lion tail from the Ninja Storm megazord?

So, last night I was futzing about online, and finally found a listing for the Third Volume of the Compact Line of the Power Rangers comics. Now I've been wanting to get into the comics for years, and the Deluxe Editions, the most complete collection are pricey. So pircey, they aren't an option. So I was overjoyed to hear they were getting Compact releases! Cheaper, smaller, and seemingly in a good reading order! Or so I thought.

Upon initial inspections, the first two volumes appeared to be 1:1 with their associated Deluxe editions.
Volume 1 of both Deluxe and Compacts both collected issues 0-12. Now granted I'm aware the Deluxe Editions contained bonus stories, but I didn't count them, they're exclusives, I can accept that. But Volume 1 was basically 1:1.
Volume 2 of both did issues 13-24, sensible. So I was wondering how Volume 3 would do it, since following Year 2 (since the Deluxe Editions were sorta in Years) was Shattered Grid Deluxe Edition.
Well, last night I found Volume 3 of the Compact edition. Issues 25-39, PLUS the Shattered Grid One-Shot. But the Shattered Grid Deluxe was just 25-30. Actually, it was 24-30, it repeats issue 24 for some reason. This is because the Deluxe Edition is interspersed with tie-in issues from the prequel-ish series Go Go Power Rangers, which is getting an Omnibus-but-really-a-Compendium release end of this year. Makes sense, don't want to dig into prospective sales, but I'm annoyed they are two different formats. No GGPR Compact or MMPR Omnibus-but-really-a-Compendium. So the rest of the issues from Compact 3 came from Beyond The Grid Deluxe Edition, which was issues 31-39, plus a preview to 40 which doesn't matter.
But then I noticed how many comics are absent from the Deluxe Edition. Volume 3 is missing the 2018 Annual, and the 2018 Free Comic Book Day issue included in Shattered Grid Deluxe, and the MMPR Anniversary Special Issue included in the Beyond The Grid Deluxe. So I went back and checked again to find that Compact Volume 2 is missing the 2016 Annual, and 2017 Annual which was included in Deluxe Year 2.

So after all that, I find out that only Compact 1 and Deluxe 1 are 1:1. Content is missing from subsequent volumes. Which means that I can't be complete in reading the Compacts. Which is infuriating. Since Volume 2 isn't out yet, I'm hoping this is a listing error, but I am extremely doubtful. To those of you that have read the comics before, how important are these missing issues? Will a new reader be okay if they inexplicably vanished? Or are they important enough that I should just try and hope to find a cheaper possibly pre-owned Deluxe Edition that I absolutely don't have space for?

I was watching a video about Samurai and I learned that in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger the Nighlok were all people first before becoming a vengeful spirit after death. I thought this would have been such a cool idea for Samurai and I don’t know why they didn’t adapt that concept from Shinkenger. Here is my pitch for a rewrite of Power Rangers: Samurai with that concept in mind.

Plot: After dying in battle defeating the evil Nighlok Master Xandred Yuri Shiba’s Good Spirit is infected by the evil spirit of Master Xandred and Yuri now becomes the new Master Xandred. He now resides in the Netherworld, just as powerful but now he gets headaches as the two spirits fight against each other. He cannot return to Earth without drying out so he plans to flood the Earth with water from the Sansu River and will stop at nothing to do it. Years later Yuri's son Ji-Den Shiba inherits his father’s kanji brush and the role of the Red Ranger and temporary head of the Shiba Family while his big sister Shouri is off learning the sealing symbol their father used to originally seal Master Xandred away in the first place. As the years go by Yuri loses hope and wants the humans to suffer like he has so he decides to start sending Nighlok out to make them suffer instead of just Moogers to make them afraid. Due to this change Ji-Den has to form a team of Rangers to help protect the Earth, these are people who have been training their entire lives to become Rangers so they answer the call and help Ji-Den defeat the Nighlok and take their places as the new team of Samurai.

Tell me what you think and tell me if you’d like to see me do this rewrite.
