    Great, now I'm imagining that thing with the original Alpha's voice and I'm now set to experience a whole new wave of nightmares.

    Bill Hader is voicing Alpha so you can probably use that to calibrate your expectations.

    Well, this is concept art, so with any luck someone realized this in time and rectified it. They found a way to keep the diamond chest patterns on their versions of the suit, so there's no reason they can't figure out a lightning bolt.

    I hope to hope they at least took those god damned creepy eyes off.

    The image that was released by IGN, that was posted in this thread, is explicitly concept art. That does not mean it was something the production team just now MADE, it means that what we're looking at might not be what they're using in the movie.

    I saw a scan of the next Sentai series coming in February, Kyuranger: http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Kyuranger

    I'm pretty interested based on the costume designs, especially with there being a female Green Ranger in the team.

    The last Japanese PR show I watched was Gokaiger. Was there anything worthwhile after that?

  • ReynoldsReynolds Gone Fishin'Registered User regular
    Go-Busters is very interesting if you want to see them really, really mix up the standard sentai formula. So much so that Japan hated it and they had to make the yearly movie into an alternate reality version where they're a normal, formulaic team/show.

    Kyoruger has, just, the most members.

    ToQger is supposed to be really funny and wacky, from what I've heard and clips I've seen.

    Zyuohger has been good so far...it's faltering a bit in the last half, but it's still good.

    Of course, there's lots of older shows that were great, too.

    Yeah Kyuranger looks NICE.

    I like how every suit is personalized, and each ranger is based on an astrological sign. And of course there are 9 of them. Kyu = 9.

    I need to watch Go-Busters. I like the idea of messing with the formula.

    spoiler: the human rangers get into zord-sized versions of themselves, which in turn pilot the dinozords.

    kinda like Headmasters...er i mean Titan Masters.

    Kyuu can also mean rescue

    Anyways I'm excited for it because I tend to like the science sentai more than the magic ones

    But 2 girls outta 9

    Cmonnnnnnnn

    Ninninger has a sixth ranger who is a cowboy ninja

    you may want to check that out

  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    Ninninger is probably the worst modern sentai series

    Starninger and his burger morpher are great

    He gets as much screentime as anyone who isn't the red ranger, which is to say, diddly

    The only good ninnin episode is the one where the red rangers from kakuranger and hurricanger show up to school these millenial ninja teens

    Kakuranger also has an American cowboy and he's the best

    ToQger was great. I'm bummed that it's getting skipped for American adaptation, although I can completely see why. Trains are not that popular over here, and localizing some of the action elements, such as both of the early ground and zord finishing attacks, would be tricky/expensive. It had a neat gimmick where the rangers could swap colors/gear with each other mid-battle.

    From the previews of Ninja Steel it looks like they are using some of the ToQger enemy general suits as villains for the American adaptation of Ninninger, which is good since there were some really nice designs.

  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    They've confirmed that some toq stuff will be used yeah

    I finished the first volume of the modern comic, this is pretty solid stuff. I got spoiled on an upcoming twist, but I'm still interested to see how it plays out.

    If you can, check out Pink

    I honestly like it even more than the main comic.

    I assume that when they figure out that Goldar's weakness is that he's made of delicious ooey-gooey cheese, that'll be the moment of Bulk's triumphant return to save the day.

    Except the movie seems to make those characters troubled teens when the actual characters are not like that at all.

    I was just searching for morpher toys on the Internet.

    Fuck Walmart dot com has the blue ranger morpher. I kinda want to get it. But it's expensive.

    Also came across a zeonizer on ebay for 75 bucks... Fuck. I thew mine out like a year ago. It still lit up and made noise and everything.

    The Legacy morphers are priced appropriately for what they are. These are not cheap pieces of plastic like most modern Power Rangers toys. They are probably higher quality than the original show's props. A combination of die-cast metal and high-quality molded plastic with a high level of paint and decal details.

    I will say the movie versions are inferior to the original run--the power coins are way too bright and lacking in texture.
