The first actual photos (not the drawings that have been going around) of the suits for the latest Sentai series, Dekaranger have just been released in Japan. Sentai is the japanese show Power Rangers based on (for those not into PR).
Provided the latest season, Power Rangers Dino Thunder, does well enough and the show is renewed for another year then the Dekaranger suits should be adapted for Power Ranger 2005/Season 13.

Starts with 5 rangers, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and the return of the Pink Ranger. Mecha/Zords are vehicles.

It's also been confirmed that Power Rangers Dino Thunder with the much hyped return of Tommy starts 21st Feb 2004 and the 500th episode should air in March.

I remember the first season, and the first design...being what made Power rangers popular...including Movies.

Then, it all turned to **** after they changed it, and no more popular power rangers..=]

You honestly telling me you'd rather watch the same P.R coustumes every season?

Japan do it all the time with thier Sentai seasons, and it WORKS, sorry if you obviously have a problem with that, but changing coustumes every season does not make the show suck.

And they have way too many prs, it should be like the old days, and that doesn't mean they have to keep the zords, they could get new ones. Now days the "6th ranger" is nothing new, is something you gotta expect. there are so many rangers they could make an army :dead: , they should at least keep the cast, like they did with turbo and in space
Whats sentai? the japanese prs?

Even the biggest Power Rangers fans should admit, that the constant changing of suits/zords and cast can get really old.

I never cared much for the Rangers when they first started, but as Tommy came around and he slowly fell in love with Kimberly. I thought they had something. Plus Kim was smoking hot.

Then Lord Zedd came around and was a kick-ass badguy. They even made a good story with him and Rita. But eventually, they shortly after the movie, got rid of Zedd, What was the final explanation of his disappearance?

Got rid of Zordon, the Putties, Bulk & Skull, Kimberly although Kat was hot, she was no Kim. Then changed the zords, the rangers, the badguys and Tommy was gone as well as every other regular. Then it was like a different show to me.

Angel Grove was never the same after that. The show peaked then, and I feel that while adding new suits and Zords can be fun, the rotating cast onscreen and off, just gets to the point that they should find a good formula and stick to it.

As with any show, after time, they wanna try to re-create the magic that was. Anyone remember in Full House, when the Olsen Twins got old, they added in another set of twins, actually quintuplets......

I liked the original rangers and those new suits look cool, but I think the magic is gone. Perhaps if Zedd, Tommy, Kimberly, Zordon and Alpha 5 all returned, I could watch the show again.

Just my thoughts :)

I agree on some level, but that was the exact reason that Jason David Frank and the others were fired during "Turbo": THEY GOT TOO OLD :)
New faces, new Rangers every season, opens up team up possibilitys proven to full effect in "Forever Red", not to mention Saban don't have to pay the same cast for an extended contract.

Whats sentai? the japanese prs?

Without Sentai footage, there would BE no Power Rangers, Sentai is what Power Rangers is based on.

Ok

Lord Zedd and Rita were forced to flee in "Power Rangers Zeo" when the Machine Empire attacked them, Zedd and Rita guest-starred in the second movie, then returned for "Power Rangers In Space" where Zordon's death destroyed every monster force attacking Earth, and turned Lord Zedd and Rita human.

Zordon can never come back, since Andros killed him in the "Power Rangers In Space"' finale "Countdown to Derstruction Part 2"

One of the greatest episodes ever

wow! you're on fire baby! :lol: :lol: :lol:

anyways, i still think it would be nice if they kept the same cast for atleast 2 seasons but they are not going to, they already have everything set for the next seasons :dead: :dead: , so there is not much that can be done :roll:

:nod: Any TMNT fan should be well aware of merchandising... Just look at the old toy line. NASA Leo, Basket ball Donnie, Invisible Man Raph. :lol: .

After Zeo the show got kinda dumb, but the toys were pretty cool. At least the Zord toys were XD.

The original press sheet said Tommy was going to be the new Black Dino Ranger so that should involve some fighting. :wink:
Although now some people are hoping he will be the new White ranger instead.

------------------------------------------------------

As for changing the suits every year, the decision to do that was always controversial, but the show would've been stale if they were still running around in their Dino suits from MMPR. Not everyone may like the idea but it does work as the on going popularity of PR has shown. And for all those nostalgia nutters the Dino Thunder suits do sort of resemble the original Dino suits from MMPR.

Of course Power Rangers will never reach the same heights as MMPR again, that was the highest rated kid show ever. The only way from the peak is down. One thing Power Rangers has that Sentai doesn't is continuity - the 'Power Rangers Universe' which has been built up since '93. It can give you cool stuff like Forever Red, Countdown to Destruction and now Tommys return in Dino Thunder as the creator of the new Dinozords and powers. Little kids won't have much of an idea of who he is but to older fans he's a legand and proof that it is still the same show as MMPR.

As long as people will watch, the show will go on. Hell, the show has been on forever, they must be doing something right.

Errr, that was uncalled for, clearly you don't see anything past the fact there going back to using Dino Zords.

The episodes are great, so I don't care if they re-use old stuff.

It's not even their fault, it's the Sentai show, blame them for being repetitive.

After Zeo the show HARDLY became "dumb", if you mean the crappy Tubo season, yes, that was ridiculous, but the series became a classic again with "In Space", "Lost Galaxy", then sucked with "Lightspeed Rescue", then became a classic again.

I just didn't think it was nearly as good as the old episodes. I'm stating an opinion, not a fact ;).

And yet Ultraman DVDs are pushed back untill 6 days after Christmas...

What is wrong with the universe?

Um, anyway, on a related note; anyone seen Kamen Rider Black? It's a Japanese supehero show made in the late eighties by the same studio that makes Sentai (the most famous Japanese superheros are as follows in order; the Ultraman, the Kamen Riders, and then Super Sentai) Anyway it's really cool. I recomend it to anyone who wants to see a good Japanese superhero show.

i was into the first one, but havent seen much of the new.

ill tell you though what i thought the best eps where when the evil green ranger came. he had this chest padding i think and this badass sword.

they were the best eps from what i saw, very cools

People still like it because some fans don't care if the show gets rid of old villains and Zords, the writing and character development is great on some seasons.

That was Tommy who is returning next year. The green ranger suit with the gold shield was definately one of the coolest. He had 2 "badass" swords the Dragon Dagger and the Sword of Darkness. Although Dragon Dagger was probably the most famous one (the one he used to call the Dragonzord).

It's a Japanese supehero show made in the late eighties by the same studio that makes Sentai (the most famous Japanese superheros are as follows in order; the Ultraman, the Kamen Riders, and then Super Sentai) Anyway it's really cool. I recomend it to anyone who wants to see a good Japanese superhero show.

I've seen a bit of Kamen Rider but mostly I've watched the US version Masked Rider. I know the show is still really popular in Japan like Sentai.
It's a shame Masked Rider wasn't as popular in the US as PR was. It would've been nice if they'd continued making new seasons every year as with PR, since Power Rangers is pretty much on it's own these days (unless you count FoxBox's attempt at Ultraman). Back in the 90's there were loads of live action shows that Saban and Toei produced such as Beetleborgs, VR Troopers as well as Masked Rider and Power Rangers. Now only PR remains... :cry:

Could someone point me to a site with the history of Power Rangers (both in story and in production/fandom/business). All I know is that it plays on Saturdays on Fox Family and that it it used to come on before Eek the Cat on FoxKids back in the day :).

His name was Flabber.

I thought Beetleborgs was a great series. I loved the whole comic book aspect of it and the actual armoured suits. It was one of Fox Kids most popular shows, it's a shame they didn't do a full Power Rangers/Beetleborgs crossover. We had Forever Red where they used the Beetleborgs suits as different characters and they even did an ep of Power Rangers where Bulk was reading a Beetleborgs comic but that really wasn't enough. :cry:
