More or less confirmed with his cancellation of attending Puert Rico Comic Con which took place at the same time as SMF filming for returning actors.

At this point, I think I'm gonna stop giving the shows even the slightest chance. I'm done. Toys only from now on. And how about we get a real Battlizer mode this time?!?! You had no problem making up modes for Shinkenger. If you're gonna do it for Gokaiger (we know you will) then make it something good!!!! And not some huge overpriced 12'' figure either! Something REASONABLE!!!! 6 Inches with moderate articulation and plenty of armor. How about red that combines with a scaled version of the gokai galleon? Not too hard guys........Dear lord I need to take a breather.

How would that even work?

A pirate ranger who becomes a pirate ship?

I don't even care how that will work, it is AWESOME.

For me? I don't give a crap about the show. Mt son will watch it and I will watch it with him. As for the toys. I have most of the Gokaiger version of the toys so I'm probably not going to get the gimped out versions of the US release. Now if the have Gilbert Gottfried doing the voice of the morpher, it will be a must buy.

I had thought that because of Samurai/Super Samurai sucking it was because this was Saban's first Power Rangers show since Wild Force. They had to make it a direct translation of Shinkenger because they needed to save the money for adapting Gokaiger into Super Megaforce.

Then I read this email.

They can give us an Americanized cockpit for the Megazords in Samurai, complete with Mega Modes, yet they can't afford at least ONE actor from every past season? Hell, they can't even afford to make ONE new Ranger Key for ONE of the four US exclusive Rangers throughout the series run?

While this "Fury Diamond" fellow has made bold claims in the past regarding what's going on in Power Rangers, this is either one gigantic lie, or Saban is a greedy bastard. I figured it would be the former and it's Fury Diamond trying to lie to us to keep the real info a secret, but if this ends up being the latter...I'm not getting the American Ranger Keys that I've been dying to look forward to.

Who is Fury Diamond?

Sarge? No.
Rosemary, the telephone operator? No.
Penry, the mild mannered janitor? Could be!

He's a reliable and consistant source of information regarding Power Rangers as a television show for a few years now.

Why would he lie about this and ruin his reputation? Anger seems to be clouding your minds.

Also, in regards to the Mega Mode cockpit, they had to incorporate Mega Mode into the show somehow anyway, as there was a toy for it. The toy was to come first. Originally, Samurai wasn't going to be a show for a season, and BoA was still going to make toys. There was no plans to make "regular" Rangers initially, that's why we got Mega Mode first. Once those were released, to increase sales, Saban and crew put them in the show. What better place to use "Mega Mode" then in a "Megazord."
