Blue Ranger Happy Meal Toy 'insulting Muhammad'

Saudi Muslims who launched a campaign against the global fast-food giant say the designs on which the Power Ranger stomps form the name “Muhammad,” reported Raymond Ibrahim of the Gatestone Institute, citing a report Sunday on the Arabic news website Kermalkom.com. 

They accidentally call the toy 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers' but it is clearly Power Rangers Samurai, which was a Happy Meals toy months ago in the United States but currently one in Saudi Arabia. They cite the dragon symbols on his disc which is clearly dragons and nothing else.We, Power Ranger fans, know this is all silly but worth mentioning because culturally it is interesting what can be considered harmless or insulting. This originated in Japan, which is acceptable in Japan and came to the US and US parents don't seem to have problems with it but apparently some Saudi Muslims do. But not all of them:

Super Mega Gold suit EXISTS

Maybe this is old news. I've been cold with sore throat, so that's my excuse.
So we have seen Super Mega Gold in toys for a while but we have never seen a picture of the suit before. So we know that Bandai is not going to make a suit just for one photo. Fans have been wanting to see Antonio in super mode. We know Super Shinken Gold appeared in Goseiger vs. Shinkenger, but they don't have to use footage from that, they can just put the vest on Gold. Also, if there is Super Mega, we know there will be Super. Not sure about Shogun but this is exciting. I guess Saban Brands have been keeping it a secret until now. A new teaser for the fall did show Shark Attack Green (which is from Shinkenger footage).
