Now... I like Chris Pratt. But it honestly sounds like he wants to go full Mario, but is holding back, while simultaneously sounding like the New York Plumber Mario, or at least to me. Maybe it's not enough to justify just yet, but I feel like someone else could have worked better.

Heck, earlier I was joking around that this would be like the Santa Clause where he just gradually becomes more Mario. Ha ha!

Anyway, looks great, but I don't think is anything spectacular. And I'm more concerned about Illumination messing it up (I've heard it's rumored to be a musical) than I am about Mario's voice.

Here's the evidence.

Cosmic Fury will pull an MMPR II stunt with Zords and monster bosses from Kyu. The rest will be made from the ground up so we'll see if Cosmic Fury can avoid being a cheap knock off. Hasbro is building Cosmic Fury from the ground up other wise including morphed uniforms. I do wonder if the Morphin' Masters will be in Kyu morphed uniforms or we may also see a 2nd set of US exclusive morphed outfits.

I bring this up because Jetix did it for Jungle Fury with the bat , shark and elephant Rangers.

The Cosmic Fury outfits made me think of Time Force as the core 5 had a similar design on their outfits minus the stripes.

Not entirely from scratch. They left behind the Ryusloger helmets, which I think is the hardest part of the costumes. In general, from the pictures, the costumes themselves are good, but worse than the original costumes of the ryusolgers and kyurangers.

Which is why I'd rather they went with the Kyu morphed outfits.

I agree with you here. I'm not a Power Rangers person, but the new suits were pretty rubbish. I appreciate the desire to experiment with the format but maybe they should've put a bit more thought into making these things.

I don't know if King Kong counts as a tokusatsu franchise (I'd imagine it does?) so I'm not gonna put this in the funny toku images thread, but I thought this was too hilarious not to share.

He had crossovers with Godzilla and a Japanese movie, so I guess so.

Not that strange considering this is an official King Kong toy.

What am I looking at here exactly? Optimus Primal's deadbeat hipster brother-in-law?
