Saw the pics of Figuarts Red Hawk, and you know, I wish they'd have brought Jetman to the US. Love the Dinozords and all, but the mechs in Jetman were cool to. They would've had five rangers like Zyu. And unlike Zyu there would've been two female rangers. Because the Yellow Zyu was male, wasn't he?

Yeah, that would've been cool. They were originally going to do that, but decided on Zyu because Dinosaurs were popular at the time.

I really don't think Power Rangers would've even been half as popular as it was if they chose Jetman. Of course this may be my own personal preference but the costumes just look lame to me. I mean, birds? Really? Sure Gatchaman pulled it off but that was the 60's. The fact of the matter is that Dinosaurs are just cooler than birds.

Dinosaurs are just cool.
That said, I think Jetman would've done just fine in the US. I didn't tune into PR because they had dinosaur themes and designs, that's for sure. I know I can't speak for everyone, but the kickass action and fighting was why I watched PR. |

And it has also kinda sorta bugged me that it's Dinosaur themed, but uses "Saber-toothed tiger" and mammoth, both of which are not dinosaurs. They're still pre-historic, so it's just a minor nitpick. And I can't complain about that without pointing out that Dragons are fictional, so I'm just going to drop it. Lol.

As a fan of Jetman I wish it had been brought over to the US. I like the costumes and love the Mecha designs. The monster suits could have been better but Jetman was a solid show that could have totally worked in the US market. The lack of a 6th ranger really would have been the only hindrance I can see. They've played up Tommy as being a major player in the US from the beginning. Not having that available for their first series would have hurt them in my opinion.

They didn't play up Tommy from the start. He was introduced in the "Green With Evil" saga.
Tommy wasn't hanging around the Juice Bar in seen in any of their classes until the GWE episodes. |

I never once watched MMPR because they were Dinosaurs. The Megazord itself was solid, but Dragonzord was always better. The Thunderzords were more thought out, better designed, a more clean product. Honestly I wished the used the suits from that season of sentai, instead of rehashing the Zyu, but now I'm nitpicking to.
And Jetman could've completely worked. Yes, like Den-O said the lack of a sixth might've hindered them, but they could've done well. Introduced Tommy in season two. |
