I've been celebrating by revisiting the episodes again. I watched "Day of the Dumpster" at midnight. I've been planning to watch the seasons that "Once & Always" and Cosmic Fury referenced.

The franchise has come a long way. There's even a convention for it, and I believe that it's the 8th one that happened this year. I unfortunately haven't been to any of them myself.

Tokujay, who was said to have been working on the Netflix reboot before it was dropped, is developing his own unofficial Power Rangers webcomic called "The Re:Verse"

Breenan Meijja discusses What could have been in store for a full on Ninja Steel and Dino Charge crossover. Budget cuts meant they could only bring in one of the cast for the Ninja Steel season, which ended up being Koda (which they were largely leaning into because the actor's brother was cast as the Blue Ninja Steel Ranger)

One idea suggested for the crossover was for the Dino Charge Rangers to be paired with a modern day descendent of Koda rather than the original version

Apparently this is a thing

Amazing it’s making it way around again. I remember when it popped up a few years ago.

Also, while it hasn’t been confirmed. It seems that officially Hasbro no longer holds the license to the VR Trooper’s shows. Like with Masked Rider, they could possibly use any of the original content that was made for VR, but they probably can’t use any of the toku suits or monster designs.

I’d like to pick up a couple of the third party 1/6 scale movie figures. Does anyone know if Hobby Galaxy is a reliable site? I’m open to other suggestions as well…

When something like this happens, you know the franchise is done for now. I would like to get some of those suits or helmets, buy I'm sure they will become very expensive.

There's now an unofficial comic book sequel to the 2017 movie currently being published.

Didn’t learn until now, but Gigabash will be doing another DLC for Ultraman, this time featuring the Netflix film “Ultraman Rising”

I'm waiting on Beetleborgs

These new designs seems that they are just legally different enough from thw suit designs that they can still be barely recognizable.

There's something going around about Monica May lying about being Hispanic to get the role of Elizabeth "Z" Delgado. She actually didn't lie. On the S.P.D. Ranger Tales feature on the special features disc from the seasons 13-17 set, Greg Aronowitz talks about how they wanted a Hispanic ranger, and they chose her thinking that she had the look and the sound. It sounds like Greg just later on had a discussion with her about her character representing Latinas after having shot four or five episodes, and she felt the need to state that she's actually not Hispanic.

Looking at Wikipedia, I can't find anything implying another show is in the works, just that Hasbro has been attempting to find a better distributor than Netflix. Admittedly, I wouldn't be too worried if I actually cared, they're probably just going to take Gozyuger or King-Ohger and turn that into another season of PR down the line because that's what they always do.
