Power Rangers RPM Confirmed

Power Rangers RPM, the 17th season of the kids live-action series franchise, is confirmed! Two of its action figure toys were spotted exceptionally early on ebay.

Filming for the show will start next month, and casting is undergoing along with a few rumors and fan speculations here and there.


**So far the only picture

From the picture, the toys looked legitimate.

It seems that the logo is a direct clone of the Japanese Counterpart. Say a well-blend of Turbo, a little of Ninja Storm (the font) and the racing motif. So far, they looked pretty sweet and true to the show.

We can also roughly make out that the figures have their in-show weapons and accessories, as well as the Engine Casts. Judging from the names of Eagle and Lion Rangers, it seems that Condor is dropped and replaced with Eagle (which is typical for America).

So far, this is shaping up to be the best action figure line put up by Bandai America. However, these are only 2 figures and we are not sure of the arrangements with the Engine Souls and the Deluxe Megazords.

On a side note, Bandai Japan's Sentai Hero Line really pales in comparison with these ones, for the lack of detachable weapons, articulation and maybe some paint.
