SPOILERS: Kamen Rider Fourze

Introducing Kamen Rider Fourze! The new Kamen Rider series, most likely will premiere in September, because the Kamen Rider OOO/Gokaiger movie is to premiere in August and both Decade and Double ended in August and Double and OOO premiered in September. Fans are pointing out a trend: Double (2), OOO (3) and Fourze (4).

Rumors:
Fouze is a high school student, he inherited the Rider System from his father and he fights "Noa"(monsters).
He can't use the full power of Fouze and only uses a small portion of it.
He has 4 forms and he also suffers from memory loss.

1. Rocket (head) - Red

2. Turbo (wrist) - either green or black

3. Drill (wrist ) - Yellow

4. Screw (leg) - either blue or black or green


He obviously has a rocket team and might use cards or something like that on his wrist. I like the use of white, red and black instead of green or all red. His four forms seem to use the colors Red, Green, Yellow and Black (or Blue, hard to tell).

South Korea has Goseiger as 'Power Rangers Miracle Force'


As I've mentioned on this blog before, in South Korea they show the actual Japanese Super Sentai dubbed in Korean and rename it 'Power Rangers.' South Korea will air Tensou Sentai Goseiger as Power Rangers Miracle Force, replacing Power Rangers Jungle Force (Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger) this July. South Korea started dubbing Super Sentai as 'Power Rangers' with Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger in 2005 and aired it as Power Rangers Dino Thunder which continued till Engine Sentai Go-Onger dubbed as Power Rangers Engine Force. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger was skipped due to possible cultural issues and in some extent, South Korea's grudge towards Japan and instead aired Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger as Power Rangers Jungle Force. Power Rangers Miracle Force premieres this July 2011.

The Incredible Shrinking Power Ranger Figures

By Request...
When MMPR started in 1993, the first toys were 8 inch tall! I personally think this is what attracted me to the series.

MMPR Season three introduced 5 inch and a half tall Ninja Ranger figures and 4 inch tall Alien Rangers, but...

Zeo was the first to have the 5.5 inch figures of the main rangers. In Space was the last one to have 8 inch tall figures.

In Space figures started having big muscles, which fans disliked as they looked more and more looked like they were on steroids.

12 inch figures with cloth suits were introduced alongside the 5.5 inch ones in Time Force and kept on going through the seasons, being phased out by Operation Overdrive. In Wild Force to SPD had human faces. They made only males, except for Ninja Storm that had a Tori figure.

Jungle Fury had 11 inch plastic figures that had no cloth suits.

In MMPR, there were girl dolls (I don't remember the size).

Jungle Fury and RPM figures didn't have 'roid rage' and in MMPR 2010, they did get steroids. The MMPR 2010 figures are the first to be the smallest at 4 inches, if you don't count the Alien Ranger figures. Samurai Rangers figures continue being 4 inch, Bandai America says it is because of the economy.

Henshin0's feelings over PR streaming on Netflix

When I read the article about Netflix streaming this "tomorrow" (today by now), you couldn't believe my ecstasy. This is one time where being an insomniac is a good thing, because lying on your bed, you start to realize, "Wait, it's midnight.....POWER RANGERS ARE STREAMING ON NETFLIX NOW!" And I got a first look, and it rocked my world. First of all, the graphics of older footage has slightly improved (the way you think MMPR revisioned would have, before you actually saw it), and at the end of the episodes of all of the shows, even the Disney seasons, they use the new Saban logo, like the one they use at the end of "Samurai". Since I didn't sleep at night, I spent the whole night watching "Zeo", and thanks to the digital remastery, I noticed things I didn't notice before even when they aired it on Jetix.

First, in the zord garage, you can see the initials "U.A.O.H." from Zeo's Japanese counter-part, "Ohranger". Also, in the power chamber, where they have capsules containing the MMPR suits, Yellow ranger's suit (are you ready for this) has a skirt. What ironic timing to notice it, when gokaiger is airing in Japan. I also noticed a few less impressive things like the rangers wearing turtle-necks......a lot, and subtext about David Yost, but that's not important. Who knows what other things I will just start to notice in other old season, but whats really cool, is the fact that it's on netfix, means that via desktop, laptop, TV internet, and iPhone, I can literally spend the whole day watching non-stop Power Rangers. Although, there are a few things you should know. First, they're not streaming Mystic Knights, or Masked rider, and second, MMPR-R is considered S-19 on Netflix, not S-18, while "Samurai" is considered 18, but isn't on netflix at all, even though the cast list is on the site.

THANK YOU SABAN FOR POTENTIALLY MAKING ME COMPLETELY ANTI-SOCIAL BY HAVING ME RELIVE MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES ABOUT OVERGROWN TEENAGERS IN SPANDEX.......and body armor......and whatever Dr. K. said her RPM suits were made of.
