Power Rangers Card Battle in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia

The Dice-O and Power Rangers Action Card Game are being released in other countries.

 Bandai is releasing Power Rangers Cards in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. 

It uses American Power Rnager names (other than Korea's use of the Power Ranger name but actual Sentai series instead of dubbed Power Rangers). It uses the Japanese Dice-O arcade game.

It also has a Facebook page but it doesn't say what country so it could get confused for American.
http://www.facebook.com/mobileprotection#!/pr.cardbattle?fref=ts

 There are 66 cards in Series1, released in March. So far, it looks like Samurai, RPM, Jungle Fury, Operation Overdrive and Mystic Force are being released, these are in order unlike Series 2 Guardians of Justice in North America.

I thought I would share a bit of stats that Blogger.com has collected about my blog Henshin Grid like which countries visit the blog the most (Obviously the USA) but also mostly Asian countries and no surprise Brazil is included as Toku has aired in Brazil. Also browsers like Firefox, which I use too. Blogger changed their editing format so I am still having trouble fixing the tables, so that is why it is all out of whack.

Toku Asia's Interview with Jason Chan (Cam Watanabe)

Thailand's Ultraman

Ultraman's licensing rights outside of Japan has been a long legal dispute between Tsuburaya Productions and Chaiyo Productions (also called Tsuburaya Chaiyo Co Ltd) based in Thailand. Tsuburaya had previously collaborated with Chaiyo on the production of two movies, The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. the Monster Army and Jumborg Ace & Giant. Sompote Saengduenchai, founder/president of Chaiyo Productions, claimed and maintained that in 1976, the late Noboru Tsuburaya, who had died in 1995, had given his company rights to everything Ultraman outside Japanese territories in exchange for a monetary loan. Japanese and Thai courts accepted this contract as real and binding because of the supposed 'hanko' of the late Noboru Tsuburaya in the document. Tsuburaya Productions insisted that the contract was a forgery (due to factual errors), and repeatedly contested the issue.

After an 8-year battle in the courts of both countries, Sompote Saengduenchai was awarded a favorable decision on April 27, 2004. The exact ruling fell into some dispute: Some said it only gave him merchandising rights for the first six Ultra Series (Ultra Q through Ultraman Taro) and Jumborg Ace outside Japan, and broadcasting rights of said shows within Thailand. Tsuburaya decided not to market any of the disputed six Ultra Series outside Japan until it had completely settled the rights issues with Chaiyo, although the company continued to merchandise and distribute all of the Ultraman programs created after Ultraman Taro, including the theatrical feature Ultraman the Next, throughout the world. Because of the copyright struggle, importing literature on Ultraman into Singapore and Malaysia was prohibited. It also resulted in a slight backlash against Thai Ultraman fans, who were assumed to be outright Chaiyo supporters.

On February 5, 2008, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Tsuburaya Productions of Japan after they made an appeal to the initial ruling. The decision ended Sompote's bid to continue his enterprise, and the court gave Sompote 30 days to stop profiteering from Ultraman and required to pay THB 10,700,000 plus interest at the rate of 7.5 per cent a year starting from December 16, 1997, when the original lawsuit was filed. The Thailand Ultramen include Ultraman Millennium, Dark Ultraman and Ultraman Elite.

Only FROM Japan: Toys not released by Bandai America

UPDATED 7/13/15
I could say these toys were not released in the United States, but they were also not released in countries that sold only Power Rangers and not Super Sentai. The countries that sell Power Ranger products out number the amount that release Super Sentai. In some parts of Thailand and Singapore and United Kingdom, Sentai figures are released under the Power Rangers name. More and more stuff started not getting released after Wild Force because there was more items and things afterwards. Dekaranger/SPD stuff did get release because there wasn't that much zords or weapons.

Dragon Morpher / Dragon Buckle (MMPR/Zyuranger)

The much coveted (sought for) morpher is the Green Ranger morpher. The Dragon Buckle toy is sought by fans but it is hard to find. It is no longer being made obviously but there are so few unopened and unsold packages and it would depend on someone putting up for auction. In 2014, Bandai America released a Legacy Morpher with the Dragonzord and Tigerzord coins.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 10 out of 10

Also, the Thunder Slinger, which was more prominently used in Zyuranger was released. Power Ranger fans know the Thunder Slinger as the weapon Tommy and Jason got from Titanus to fight the Super Putties.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 3 out of 10 (mostly collectors)

Defender Wheel/Giant Roller (Zeo/Ohranger)
I don't know why it was not released. It came with an unmovable Oh Red and three Baranoia figures (King Mondo, Machina and Sprocket).
Fan Demand: 1 out of 10

Spiral Saber/Drill Saber (Space/Megaranger)
Reason Why Not Released:It was going to be released in the United States but it did not pass the standards of the American toy bureau or something. It was only avaliable from Bandai Japan.
Fan Demand: 8 out of 10

Lifeforce Megazord / Sigma Project (Lightspeed Rescue/GoGoV)
The toy version of the sigma project was called Maxvictory Robo Black, I think it came first. Black with gold and silver versions of the Megazords are common in Japan. Only the original Megazord was released like that from Bandai America.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 1 out of 10

Rail Rescue Bay / Bay Area 55 (Lightspeed Rescue/GoGoV)
It was released with minitaure rail rescues and mini grey zords. The extra bay for the Linerboy/Max solarzord was never made.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 7 out of 10

Max Shuttle Bay
The bay for Linerboy was made! I did not know this.


Electro Booster/Assault Mobile (Time Force/Timeranger)
The toy also double as vehicles for the Timeranger figures.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 1 out of 10

Time Badge / Time Emblem (Time Force/Timeranger)
They came with the container thingy with a picture of a villain. There was also a Time Fire (Quantum Ranger) version.

Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 3 out of 10

Transwarp Megazord / Providus Base (Time Force/Timeranger)
A deluxe version of the Transwarp Megazord was never released. In Japan, there was the Providus Base that came with the big robo and a stream-lined launching playform.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 6 out of 10 (mostly collectors)


Elephantzord / Gao Elephant (Wild Force/Gaoranger)
Reason Why Not Released: The infamous elephant!!! Fans were upset that this toy was not released. In Japan, the extra Power Animals were released by themselves and Bandai America believes parents won't buy toys for their kids separately but better in a package. So they selected Power Animals that came in packs. The Elephant did come in smaller forms but not in its deluxe form.
Fan Demand: 10 out of 10

Soul Bird (Wild Force/Gaoranger)
The show-accurate version of this toy was not released from Bandai America. Another version came with the Deluxe Ultimus Megazord. There was also special mail-in order blue and white version of the Lion; Black version of the Elephant with Gao Knight (with red Gorilla) from Toys R Us Japan; and Gao Panda, which came with a story CD.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 4 out of 10


Karakuri Balls/Power Spheres: Scarf /Karakuri Manto; Spider and Star; Stamps (Ninja Storm/Hurricanger)
Reason Why Not Released: The Karakuri Balls were released in a set of two separately while the Power Spheres were released with Megazords. In order to release some of them, they had to repaint Megazords and repackage them, but there weren't enough for the Spider and Starfish that came together in a set. Two stamps were sold in a bag and the scarf was sold seperately in a bag in special stores, I don't think they were Bandai Japan but a subsidiary so maybe Bandai America didn't have the rights to them.
Fan Demand: 6 out of 10 (mostly collectors)

Blue and Yellow Wingers (Ninja Storm/Hurricanger)
Blue and Yellow Wingers were avaliable in Japan, only the Red one was released from Bandai America.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 5 out of 10 (Mostly collectors)

Mighty Mammoth/Revolver Mammoth (Ninja Storm/Hurricanger)
Reason Why Not Released: There was a small playset but not this one, probably because it was too big.
Fan Demand: 4 out of 10 (Mostly collectors)


Celphazord / Paraknuckles (Dino Thunder/Abaranger)
The Dimetrozord was released with the Stegazord when it was released by itself in Japan. And thanks to fan demand, Parsaurzord and Ankylozord was released in a set... but with an extra ranger figure. Celphazord wasn't so lucky. The Black Raptor Rider was going to be released by Bandai America but it wans't.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 10 out of 10

Brachiozord / Brachiosaurs (Dino Thunder/Abaranger)
Reason Why Not Released: Same reason as the Mammoth, it was too big. The Bandai Japan one came with small versions of some of the Bakuryuu (zords).
Fan Demand: 3 out of 10


Mystic Fighters / MagiPunch (Mystic Force/Magiranger)
Reason Why Not Released: Probably the reason was because they thought it was too violent for kids but come on, in America we got the Hulk hands and The Thing fists.
Fan Demand: Unknown

Pink, Yellow, and Blue Mystic Racers/Sky Hokis (Mystic Force/Magiranger)
Only the Red and Green ones were released from Bandai America. Curiously enough, the figures that came with them were relased as individual figures for Mystic Force. It is unknown why the Yellow one was not released since he is a man, but I think the reason Blue and Pink were not released because they were women and Bandai America believe girl toys don't sell.
Fan Demand: 5 out of 10

Laser Lamp/Lamp Buster (Mystic Force/Magiranger)
Reason Why Not Released: Don't know why this was not released, kids loved the Laser Lamp. I gave my nephew Solaris Knight and he made the rubbing action with the miniature Laser Lamp he came with.
Fan Demand: 8 out of 10

Skyrapet (Mystic Force/Magiranger)
The Sky Carpet did appear in the form of a cool ATV in the Power Rangers line.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: Unknown


Wolf Centaurus Megazord / Wolkaizer (Mystic Force/Magiranger)
Infamously missing from the Power Rangers line. In some parts of the world, Wolkaizer was released under the Power Rangers name.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 10 out of 10

Shield of Darkness/Jagun Shield and Wolsabre (Mystic Force/Magiranger)
The Shield of Darkness/Jagun Shield and Wolsabre was avaliable from Bandai Japan but not from Bandai America, I couldn't find a picture.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: 10 out of 10

Dark Morpher/Wolzaphone (Mystic Force/Magiranger)
Basically most of the Koragg items were not released, I believe it is because Bandai America didn't think villain items would sell, but Spider-Man Black proved them wrong. I have this phone, it's great! I also have the MotherPhone, a re-paint of the morpher but it was for the White Ranger but it didn't appear in Mystic Force.
Fan Demand: 7 out of 10

White Ranger/MagiMother (Mystic Force/Magiranger)
Reason Why Not Released: I think the reason it was not released because she is a woman and Bandai America believe girl toys don't sell. There were plans to release her as 'Winter Ranger' over Christmas, but the rumor is that Wal-Mart was not for it.
Fan Demand: 7 out of 10


Flashpoint Megazord / SirenBuilder (Operation Overdrive/Boukenger)
My theory on why it was no released was because they remade all of the Megazords for Operation Overdrive and probably didn't have enough money to remake the SirenBuilder.
Reason Why Not Released: Unknown
Fan Demand: Unknown


Master Mao / Master Shafu (Jungle Fury/Gekiranger)
Even though Master Mao only got this form for one episode, Master Shafu had it through the whole series of Gekiranger.
Fan Demand: Zero

Jungle Chucks/Geki Nunchuku (Jungle Fury/Gekiranger)
There was a soft version of this but not the exact version released. The Japanese version had batteries, sounds and motion detectors.
Fan Demand: Unknown

Shark Sabers/Geki Sabers (Jungle Fury/Gekiranger)
These were not released, maybe they thought it was too dangerous. No soft version was released either. Minature versions of the GekiHammer and GekiFans were avaliable in Japan.
Fan Demand: 3 out of 10

DaiShogun

This did not appear in RPM but was from the Go-Onger movie. There was a small toy version in RPM toyline. 

Fan Demand: 3 out of 10

Mystic Brothers

This was removed from Megaforce so hence no toy. Probably to accodomate only one year of Goseiger material. Some fans did miss it and did want it. 

Fan Demand: 5 out of 10

Datas

This was removed from Megaforce so hence no toy. But the blue bullet thing did appear in toy form. Some parts of it did appear in the toys to be able to make some combinations. 

Fan Demand: 3 out of 10

Random Unreleased Ranger Keys

The following Ranger Keys were released in Japan but not in USA, I am using the American names:

Yellow Turbo

Pink In Space

Pink Lost Galaxy

Pink Lightspeed

Yellow Lightseed

Yellow Samurai

Black RPM

Red Samurai (Lauren)

Megaforce Yellow

Megaforce Pink

Camile

Dai Shi

Sentinel Knight

Pink Operation Overrive

Kat Ranger

Yellow SPD

Pink Mystic

Blue Mystic 

White Wild Force

Yellow Time Force

Fan Demand: 10 of 10 

Reason: Becuase the majority were female and Bandai didn't think boys wanted to buy the packs if they had 2 females, RPM Black is probably because uneven amount of rangers and 3 per pack. Dai Shi and Camile probably because they were villains.
