Tokusatsu Thread (Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman and the likes)

GoGoV has been licensed by Shout Factory and it’s coming out in April.
 
We may very well get Timeranger this year after all…

was supposed to buy an SIC kiwami tamashii garren but the mouthpiece is such a dealbreaker
 

@OptimusPrimevil  
To me nearly all of the SIC figures are ugly, too many details added in just ruin the look for me.

@Prof.NightJack  
felt that garren’s face got caved in, fist of the north star style. i could be wrong, but the copy is saw seems to be missing some of the facial detail (below the eye and beside the gold part).
 
honestly i like the organic look.

Earthly Subs’s Den-O scrub will now be released by OZC-Live instead of Earthly Subs. It’s the same scrub script that was already finished, but it’ll be using the Blu-ray encodes instead of the Toei HD Channel encodes, so it’ll be in even better video quality.

I wonder if Lupinranger VS Patranger will end up referencing a certain other Japanese franchise at some point…

I was just looking up power rangers on some dvd site and came across a movie called”Power Pussy Rangers”.The first thing I thought was:“Meower Rangers came out before Ninja Steel?!”

So Yutaka Kobayashi(Kaito Kuman) is going to be a torch bearer for the winter Olympics.

Subs of Exceedraft have started

Sunday’s Kyuranger was… legendary!

Ninjas are back on Saturday! …For like five weeks and they’re gone again until late summer or so. Whee.
 
Still, it’ll be good to see Madame Odius’s turn as main villain, and if the game show theme is kept up. I really doubt we’ll get to Sledge and Wrench early on, though.

Looking at some of the new images and re-watching the trailers for Lupinranger VS Patranger and thinking again “thank god the rumor of the reds on both teams being the same person was false”, that sounded so stupid.

@Prof.NightJack  
Also, clearly both teams will be interacting quite a bit which shoots down the theory of them not meeting each other until much later on.

@09MurphyM  
Given it was first presented as two sentai teams opposing eatch other, the fact the rumor said it would be the reds, the color that is always the leader, of both teams being the same person, it made it even dumber.

Turns out that Kamen Rider Amazon was NOT canceled early because of parents complaining about the violence. They knew from the start that it was going to be 24 episodes because the show was moving to a different network and the new network didn’t want to continue a show that started on a previous network, so when they moved it the show ended and they started on Stronger.

 
forced fusion and scaling issues aside, the design ok?
 
had to use cube tiger to support tiger jet at the expense of both being scaled way down.

@OptimusPrimevil  
Sweet!
 
 
@Jarkes  
That sucks. A petty reason to end a great series.

OZC-Live actually released the first episode of Den-O with the Earthly Subs translation a few days ago. Remember that group that was doing that? Well, OZC’s handling the release of it now, but the scripts are already pretty much fully translated.

@Jarkes  
are they different from OZC anime or are they the same group?

@OptimusPrimevil
 
I think they’re the same group.

@Jarkes  
hmmm…
 
‘cause there’s a /m/ thread asking wtf happened to them. mostly licensing issues.

Does anyone here collect the Imaginext Power Rangers toys?there’s been some really cool ones lately.They’re the the first ones to make a human Scorpina figure aren’t they? Anyway,I just saw that there’s going to be a Serpenterra.I’m hoping for Bulk and Skull,and maybe a juice bar playset with Ernie.Barza could have a figure and they could say it’s pre-tube Zordon.

<googles>
 
pretty cute

Calling it now, before the end of Build the whole hazard level thing will be… well…  
I think Abridged Vegeta said it best.

“Power levels are bullsh*t!”?
