Ranger Newz: Ninja Steel Edition
Hey everybody! So sorry it took so long to get this out, but it's finally here! There was so much Ninja Steel news that came out of PMC, so let's dive right in. Also, a few extra things I forgot are at the bottom under miscellaneous. Enjoy:
Cast:
One of the most exciting parts of Power Morphicon is the cast reveal! This year we were all treated to a surprise when Yoshi Sudarso's (Blue DC/DSC Ranger) brother was revealed as the Ninja Steel Blue Ranger.
Obviously a very heartfelt moment for Yoshi, and the fandom has welcomed Peter with open arms.
The complete cast is listed below:
- Will Shewfelt as Brody
- Peter Sudarso as Preston
- Chantz Simpson as Calvin
- Zoe Robins as Hayley
- Chrysti Ane Lopes as Sarah
Toys:
The other big news was all of the toys revealed. There were lots of them, but one definitely stuck out from the rest. The morpher:
That is most certainly not the original morpher, which was a sword. Though the new morpher doesn't look bad at all, and plays to the whole "Power Stars" motto, I do wonder if there was any other reason for the change. Nevertheless, still an interesting design. Lots of other toys were released so I'd recommend visiting http://www.rangercrew.com/forum/showthread.php?32879-Power-Rangers-Ninja-Steel-Merchandise-Thread for lots of good info :)
Miscellaneous:
A couple of their stories came out that I did not cover, so hear are some brief recaps of them:
Poisandra is getting a figure! After all this time and all the hope, Bandai listened and are giving the fans what they want. Interestingly, Poisandra could be the start of something amazing. Greg from Bandai said that she wouldn't be released under the Dino Charge line, but a whole new line. He said that it will include previous characters that have missed out on figure form!!! Who knows what this mysterious new toy line could entail, but let's be patient and we'll find out. Also if they're all going to be the same size as the DC figures, this could mean the standard releases will stop changing scales! Ever since 2010 they have changed the scale of the figures each year, so maybe it'll stick now.
RangerNation is a new forum for all ranger fans which will be a collection of toy reviews, news, and much more. Many fans are worried that this could be Saban trying to control the fandom, however I suggest we wait to learn more before jumping to conclusions. The website is up but has not began yet.
Hopefully you've enjoyed this and found it somewhat helpful. I know it's late but I was working on my newest page for this blog, a list of what figures have and haven't been made in the legacy figure line. My biggest hope is that we'll see a White Mystic Force figure, which would be a truly amazing tribute to the late Peta Rutter.
As always,
