Pre-Zyuranger Sentai Heroes to appear in Universe of Hope

UPDATED 6/20/13 1PM EST
FuryDiamond has presented previews to the Universe of Hope (series 3) of the Power Rangers Action Card Game and three cards of the Megaforce Rangers feature pre-Zyuranger Super Sentai heroes. These are very curious additions, of course they aren't full-fledge cards of non-Power Rangers but interesting they are being included. These were of course from the Dice-O art which made sense. I guess these are shoutouts to Super Sentai fans.

After I posted this, Henshin Justice Unlimited posted their exclusive cards that are exactly Yellow Ranger with Ki Ranger and Pink Ranger with Momo Ranger. But only Red Ranger with Red Samurai Ranger and not the Aka Ranger but I am sure he will show up.

Also Henshin Justice says that Andy of the ACG Facebook/Twitter says that “We got permission from Saban to print these cards since they are paired with Megaforce; however, Sentai cards will be few knowing that it is not everyone’s cup of tea.” Fans thought this meant we will be getting pre-Zyuranger heroes in the show but I don't think so. I think it will only happen if they are along with the current team (be it Goseiger based Megaforce or Gokaiger based Super Megaforce). Most of the Gokaiger cards have the variety of different past heroes that were not in Power Rangers. This seems to be a card-only deal. It would had been nice if they got names or some sort of acknowledgement like a 'prehistoric ranger' or 'dream ranger.'

First Look: Power Rangers Super Megaforce Poster

UPDATED 6/18/13 11:30 PM EST

One word: Legendary

I like how the GokaiGaleon is in the sky. People suspected we would not see the Gokaiger suits this early or even in promotion but I figure if they have something new and shiny to show off, they would.We did see toy artwork and pic of the 3 males in the Licensing Expo Preview booklet.

No new Kyoryuger or Wizard this week and Hope of Universe card Updates

Like for the past 20 odd years, Super Sentai and Kyoryuger are bot airing this week because of golf. Golf also interrupted Power Rangers back in days of ABC. Anyway, check out my Hope of the Universe page for new updates from the facebook page. Check out my blog this week (maybe Wednesday) for updates from the Licensing Expo. I was going to go but family and money things came about. Fury Diamond will be there.

Red Jungle Fury Ranger, Blue Jungle Fury Ranger

Yellow Jungle Fury Ranger, Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger

Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger

Razzle's Power Rangers Megaforce Locations

UPDATED 6/11/13 9:30 PM EST

Raz (@Razzle1337) has painstaking found the locations in Auckland, New Zealand that Megaforce has shot in. They seem to be unique in that they were not used in Samurai and Super Samurai. He used Google Maps.
