Real Suits or CGI/Photoshopped? In the latest Power Rangers Samurai Promo for the Blue Ranger, we now have confirmation that the "Mega Rangers" (first released as toys) are indeed in the show and not just some stupid Bandai America toy designs.
Apparently, Saban has decided to replace the Megazord Cockpit with its original American Creation along with the "Mega Ranger" suits. At this point, we can only assume that the Samurai Rangers have to power up to the "Mega Mode" to summon the Zords and combine into the Megazord. The idea just sounds dumb to me, but Saban can eliminate the problem of the Japanese Mojikara footage completely.
Opinion time: I am not fond of the designs for the "Mega Rangers" at all. Don't you think they looked very bulky and ugly? And they don't seem to serve any real purpose unless they serve as a mid-show team upgrade? American kids would probably find them cool compared to the regular spandex.
While I am still on the topic, the negative reactions by the fandom when the toy images first surfaced seem to have dissipated more or less. Kinda like an ironic situation, American fans who hated the designs now adore them once they learnt that they will appear on the show.
Power Rangers Samurai premieres Feb 7th, 2011 (Monday) on Nick!
