Power Rangers 2005/Season 13 suits revealed (Dekaranger)

[Jason]

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.

Power Rangers is still on?

[ZariusTwo]

Yes

Those images are pretty good, reminds me of Turboranger

(The SENTAI show, not the Power Ranger season)

Because they have to keep kids intersted in the franchise with new Rangers, new Zords, etc.

It's called MERCHANDISING

i call it sucking ..............................................

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.

i didn't mean the show, i meant the merchandising people, or department or whatever. 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 , 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.

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

Funny you should mention that, Tommy is coming back in "Power Rangers Dino Thunder"

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

[Bowser_Koopa]

wow! you're on fire baby!

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 , so there is not much that can be done

Tommy's return should make up for any problems you're having.

[Bowser_Koopa]

is he going to fight and stuff like he used to?

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

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

[ZariusTwo]

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.

The original press sheet said Tommy was going to be the new Black Dino Ranger so that should involve some fighting.
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.
