MMPR Is Back!

[Kayube]

Attention Duelists! (http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20091001006376&newsLang=en)

Saw this on RangerBoard.

Sounds awesome, but will today's kids really go for it?

Who cares, judging by this (http://www.bandai.com/powerrangers/videochallenge/) video I'll finally be able to get a Megazord that looks like the one on the show.

[ShinkenRed]

Nice find. It's really cool that the MMPR figures are being reproduced. From the looks of it, no holsters. Which sort of disappoints me. The seem out of place without them. I guess it's something the fans will have to live with. :\

Nevertheless, very cool. I can't wait. Pink Ranger has a skirt. She just doesn't look right without one. :D

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series premiering Saturday mornings January, 2010 on ABC Kids

Hmm...

[DaiRed]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers TV series premiering Saturday mornings January, 2010 on ABC Kids

Eh-WHAAAAAA....!:eek:

[ForeverBlue]

This is cool news! If it comes in the morning on ABC kids for me, I'll watch it :D

[Izual]

That is some good news. Especially to everyone who watched the first seasons.

I just hope they won't rush RPM's end to begin this.

[Fire Ranger]

I am wondering if this video that bandai has up is also how they are going to transition back to MMPR from RPM. Because in a way it would make sense because then they could say that they are showing the history of MMPR then goe into a new season down the road.

[Hadouken!]

Eh-WHAAAAAA....!:eek:

It's only a remastering of the series...But still! Awesome news really :D

[spooie]

Came by looking for last saturday's RPM information, not realizing that two episodes had aired, and stumbled into this thread. I guess I can pass this along, since it's already out there. And, for all I know, this information may already be public knowledge...

An old friend of mine involved with the new MMPR passed a little information along that I knew there were already "rumors" circulating about.

The MMPR show will be the first 32 episodes of the original season, with cleaned up footage and updated effects (think the new Star Trek syndicated episodes). I asked if it would be in HD and was told not to expect it to be in HD. So don't go and get your hopes up for that one.

Also, after RPM, the ongoing shows are dead.

That is all. Take it as you will.

[ForeverBlue]

Merlin, MMPR is a being remastered....its to do the quality of the episodes to make it look like the show is brand new.

So they're cutting episodes?:mad:

[Ranger Black]

One word.......... BORING!!! Why not Remake MMPR into a 32 episode series instead of Remastering it? Don't get me wrong, i LOOOOOOVE MMPR, but, i dunno. I guess i'm just wishing for something new

So all of this information is from your 'friend'? Any proof?

I suggest people take the word of this member with extreme grain of salt. Better that than starting stupid rumours of highly unlikely things...Why would they cut a season to 32 episodes? Silly...

If they were going to spend money on another season, they would've adapted Shinkenger.

[Legendary.]

This is means they could possibly be released on a Disney Label DVD like the past 3 seasons right? In volumes?

[blackdinothunder]

So are they just re airing the original episodes, because it sounds really confusing. There were 60 episodes in the first season. If they are releasing all of the original toys as well could this mean new sculpts of evil figures as well? I would love to see figures of Rita, Scorpina in both modes, Goldar without wings, Finster, Squatt, Baboo and Putty figures all for the 5 1/2" line. New Playsets of the Command Center and Rita's Palace for the first season would be really nice to have. The Pink Ranger looks great in a skirt and I can't wait to get them all. I just am not sure where I am going to fit them all.

This also makes me wonder if they will finally release the DVD sets of MMPR over here in the US to go along with this relaunch because that would be really nice as well as new video games.

[Digifiend]

Or at least the SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive games on the Wii Virtual Console?

[The Deadman]

One word.......... BORING!!! Why not Remake MMPR into a 32 episode series instead of Remastering it? Don't get me wrong, i LOOOOOOVE MMPR, but, i dunno. I guess i'm just wishing for something new

i guess because the newer stuff is catered to more of a kid base, as where the original was catered to teenagers. thats just my opinion though

[spooie]

Nope. I much rather prefer staying friends with this person.

I suggest people take the word of this member with extreme grain of salt. Better that than starting stupid rumours of highly unlikely things...Why would they cut a season to 32 episodes? Silly...

And they're not cutting the season to 32 episodes. They simply have an order for 32 episodes for the season. So they're doing the first 32. Presumably, the ratings warrant another season, I imagine they'd pick up the next 32 episodes (or whatever the next season's order is) and continue on in succession.

Anyway... that's all I've got. If people don't want to believe it, well, don't then.

[blackdinothunder]

I think if they were to revamp with new actors with new footage then it would be cool but it would cost them money and right now they are trying to make money without spending much. This would allow them to make money from Bandai releasing new toys as well as the possibility of getting new kids that have never seen the original interested again so that they can release the DVD sets with better sales than with just the original fans buying the DVDs.

[DaiRed]

Nope. I much rather prefer staying friends with this person.

So they'd be going from "Day of the Dumpster" to "A Star is Born"?

[Red Tyrannosaurus]

Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best day of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive been waiting this for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

finnally the original megazord is baaaaaaaaack along with the rest of the original rangers!!!!!

About time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to get all the collection!!!

[Red Tyrannosaurus]

IMO mmpr is one of those things that its "originaly charming" like the original star wars trilogy,you cant remake those movies because the charisma of the characters and overall story will suffer.

[RedDragonThunder]

I'm not really sure how I feel about this news. It'd be kind of weird to see the old show without the odd mistakes that the technology of the early 90s had. Making it almost perfect would feel weird. However, it's pretty exciting that this is coming back. A whole new generation watching the show that started it all.

[Evil Green Ranger]

Omg, I heard about this the other day, This is really freaky an goes along with a strange dream I had, so it goes, The Power Rangers have ended (production wise) everyone knows this, so the "behind the scenes people are like" ok look we've had this show running for a few years now, and for some reason we are compleatly missing our target audience...it appears oddly enough, that the adult or "older" fans are now out numbering our target audience in ratings, viewing, and consumer merchindice..."the general feeling" well, we're done with this awful clash of trying to mesh japanese culture to fit the typical suburban life...lets see if we can't milk the last drop out of this pile of **** , well that would mean....yes bringing back the originals in some form........so Bandai does what they voweld to never do...recrete Mighty Morphin Power Ranger toys, a few one shots here an there...the orignal rangers, a megazord...and a limited edition putty figure..now bandai an disney an other behind the scenes officials are worried/angry that this means...they lose money in other places where they would be able to target the younger audience...such as shoes, dime toys, candy, key chains..what have you...little do they know, cutting of those markets would create such a big backlash...not only with there poor one shot attempt at appesing the audience that they knew they actualy were reaching, even as far back as Ninjastorm....this created an uproar that showed everyone how big the fandom actualy is...and they also got an unexpected result...the "target audience" was finaly back on board...and they all demanded more merchindice...so while bandai/an powers that be felt they'd be loosing money...all of a sunden a huge surge of life and money went back in to what they thought was officialy dead...and thus began aquiring the next sentai for adaptation.) there is more to this but we'll see if it plays out t his way and just to clarify those are not my views and opinions, its how it came to me in the dream...
now on to the figures...kim looks like the best one out of the bunch (refrence the bandai video) but they all look like prototypes...and for custom makers, it'd be a triumph..but for what we've gotten before them ie. green ranger/white ranger/ gold ranger...the quality seems, i don't know...just lacking, (hence me seeing this going along with the quick production styles of my dream) acording to the dream...this is all we will be getting

red,blue,black, (hard to find pink) (hard to find yellow) and a megazord...smaller then the 1993 version, and a limited edition "putty patroller"

...now whatever happend to the pink super legend ranger that was to come out? have they set this aside now?

[Shuffle Morpher]

What will be the opening of new mmpr ?
Better ?

The style of zeo / spd ?

[2580]

Pink Ranger has a skirt. She just doesn't look right without one. :D

She also has boobs this time and she doesn't have that non-canon chest power coin. The only complaint I have is that the gloves and boots look a little too big. I hope they haven't already mass-produced figures with that flaw and fix it before the figures hit store shelves. All I have to say is that if Bandai America starts making non-canon toys again, they're going to start getting a lot of complaint letters from me, unless of course they release figures for the rest of the Dairanger team that Saban never used. That would kick ass if they did that. Movie figures with proper sculpting would kick ass too, not to mention a movie-accurate Ninjafalcon Megazord (that's what Tommy called it in the movie).

[Setekhite]

32 episodes, eh?

That actually makes a lot of sense. I'll guess that this is from "Day of the Dumpster" to "Doomsday" with a few episodes edited out or down (a shorter Green with Evil, perhaps). Really, they don't have any other choice; Doomsday was written as MMPR's finale, and it's the only closure point in the series unless you're going to run all the way to the end of Zeo.

[Question]

The only *positive* closure point.

How cool would it be to end the series right after Rito destroys the Thunderzords? Last shot, everyone standing in the wreckage, Kim pulling up her short shorts as she wonders what's going to happen next...

"Next week, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue begins!"

[Red Tyrannosaurus]

Anyone knows when e.x.a.c.t.l.y. are the figures comming?

[Me-Hostage]

Anyone knows when e.x.a.c.t.l.y. are the figures comming?

They start hitting stores later this year!

[Chriz]

e.x.a.c.t.l.y.

What's that an acronym for?

[consume747]

and to think i almost spent 100 bucks on a morpher!

[DaiRed]

My god, I just realized I can now get the Megazords and Morphers I missed when I was younger.:D

Since they're digitally remaster the series, I hope this means they'll start releasing season sets.

[Question]

...why would they?

They're not releasing current seasons.

[Me-Hostage]

...why would they?

They're not releasing current seasons.

Well, would you spend more money on a MMPR DVD set or an OO DVD set? MMPR DVD set or MF DVD set? LOL. Clearly they need to start from the beginning and just forward. Maybe by the time they get to MF people who don't want it now will want it then. LOL. I'd take every season, but I don't want to start something and not be able to finish it!

[Question]

Well, would you spend more money on a MMPR DVD set or an OO DVD set? MMPR DVD set or MF DVD set? LOL.

Honestly? I wouldn't buy either.

[rmssw]

This will be fun. I kind of hope they DO cut down the entire season to 32 episodes...not just the first 32 episodes, but the entire season condensed into 32 vital episodes. The first three seasons were chock full of filler episodes and that sort of pacing is really out line with the pacing of the current and previous recent seasons and could potentially alienate the younger audience meaning lower ratings and less of a chance that Disney would continue with the series. Since they're not making new seasons anymore, I'd much rather have them continue to re-air the old seasons for as long as possible than have no Power Rangers at all.

I'm really excited about the new toys. It's going to be so awesome to have the first Megazord again.

[Question]

...really?

Most of those filler episodes were awesome. I'd never want them to shorten the season just because people today are impatient to get to the last episode.

[rmssw]

If it means the difference between Power Rangers staying on the air or being cancelled for good in all forms, then absolutely.

[Question]

I don't see how it does, in any way.

[rmssw]

If no one watches the show, Disney won't keep airing it.

[Red Tyrannosaurus]

They start hitting stores later this year!


Yeah,but early november? late november? early december? i just wanna be ready lol

[Question]

If no one watches the show, Disney won't keep airing it.

...

And you think butchering the show is going to bring in fans.

I don't even know how to respond to that.

You want to make MMPR *more* like the recent seasons, which have some of the lowest ratings in PR history. Smart move, that.

[Shuffle Morpher]

if he makes shorter in 1 min ..

YouTube - MMPR Theme (Dj Plasmic Nebula 2008 Remix)

[Gauntlet_Ranger]

cool video and if the MMPR are coming back will they use the same eps are reshoot them with new peeps fulfilling the roles

[KoopaZedd]

Good to see it coming back on, they need to get the original seasons on DVD already lol. I have a few bootleg seasons but would like to see them officially released.

[Question]

It makes me laugh that before I even play that video, the Green Ranger on the bottom is clearly the one from Fighting Spirit. His shield is broken, and he has the silver highlights.

[Red Tyrannosaurus]

What's that an acronym for?

nothing i just wanted to know the exact day that the toys will be released.:)

[rmssw]

We never know the exact date. The toys just start showing up sometime in November. You just have to keep an eye out.

If you're really desperate, you could call your local Toys R Us in the next several weeks and ask if they have received any shipments and when they're authorized to start stocking them.

[Evil Green Ranger]

I wonder why so many people think they're going to replace the original cast with new peeps, wouldn't that be suicide for the show? (if that's not what they really want anyways) ..I mean it would alienate the older fans...which seems like this was geard to...and i'm not sure how much the younger audience would really care...but still..i'd rather power rangers get cancled (yikes!) then butture MMPR seriously...and to mess with one of the best power ranger themes, that is recognizable to almost everyone? why?

[TokuFan]

They should use the Masaki Endo theme. Well I hope it's a version of the same song or at least something as good.

[2580]

I think some people just have a desire to see a new take on something they're already familiar with. A lot of us liked Adam's new morph in Once a Ranger and the brief return of the Green and White MMPR Rangers, as well as the Red Zeo Ranger in Dino Thunder. Adam's short morph in Always a Chance was exciting for a lot of us as well. Plus, a lot of us wanted to see Season 18 rather than reruns from Seasons 1-3. Finally, there have been a number of reboots happening in movies. I think it's a combination of all of those things that's gotten some people interested in the idea of MMPR being rebooted rather than rerun. One advantage to rebooting MMPR is that Trini and Zordon could be played by different actors so that they'd be available for future teamups and/or movies. Plus, a number of plot holes could be resolved or removed by rebooting and Disney would finally have the rights to their own MMPR music. With all of that said, I kind of doubt that they'd be rebooting since they've already broken up the live-action production team and rebooting would be more expensive than simply playing digitally restored reruns.

[Evil Green Ranger]

I just cant imagin power rangers with out Jason Frank, Amy Jo or Austin..even though he wasn't around for the full run...now I wouldn't mind if they did a reboot of the morphs, cgi is pretty simple to recreate there heads, and the once a ranger morph used static shots for most of the face..so that would be pretty simple...and I know alot of you are going to say cgi would look awful, but it's used alot in power rangers in places you don't even notice...but more often shows like smallville and what not and is actualy cheeper then wire work beleive it or not, and i imagin the zords could be done in cgi...(though for some reason I still feel models are so much better then 3d zords) maybe they'll clash them together, the physical models and cgi

and for those wondering how they could take ron's music out (which i seriously hope they dont even try) they probably have archived episodes without soundeffects and music and a library of diffrent sound effects and voice overs.. or they could digitaly remove the music it's not worth going in to lol

[Aliques!!!]

So I just tried to enter that contest thinger... can't... too old *sad face*

[TokuFan]

I think CGI for the morphs would be good,I hope they don't use a load of Operation Overdrive music like in this[I'm not insulting the user's talent btw].
YouTube - M.M.P.R What if? Recut Sound

[Evil Green Ranger]

Lol thats one of the best fan edits i've ever scene...not that I like what its trying to be, seems to real, and out goes the charm of the show lol

[rmssw]

I think the updates will focus on the opening sequence, the morphing sequence, and cleaning up the Japanese footage which looked really bad even back then.

[Digifiend]

Impressive! Not sure how they managed to lose the old music without also losing the speech. I think the titlecard will probably animate properly though, not use a grid shatter effect like that. It'll also likely keep the black background. rmssw, I agree totally with what you suggest.

[Ranger Black]

That opening seemed cool, as did the Morphin BG Music. BUT, how dare he change Bulk and Skull's music lol

[Evil Green Ranger]

Wow I guess there are people who actualy like that theme :( ...hmmm

[Sefiros]

Is Bandai remastering all the Ranger series season by season, or is it just MMPR?

[ForeverBlue]

Mainly MMPR and hopefully Zeo as well...and maybe Turbo and PRiS since PRiS is the last Zordon era

[Sefiros]

Is Bandai going to Dragon Ball Kai way and slim the amount of the episodes?

[Ranger Black]

I think so. It'll be about 32 episodes

[Sefiros]

For first season or all three? They might pull the whole MMPR seasons in one year if they do that.

[Ranger Black]

3 seasons squashed into 32 episodes? I hope not lol

[Sefiros]

I guess its gonna be a couple of years before we get a new adaptation of Sentai. Too bad. I was starting to like Shinkenger.

[Digifiend]

I think so. It'll be about 32 episodesThat was stated by an anonymous source which cannot be trusted. Assume that it's every episode until we hear official word otherwise.

[rmssw]

Why would they go from showing 32 episodes of Power Rangers this year to showing 60 episodes next year?

[Question]

Airing sixty episodes of a nearly twenty year old show is so, so, so much cheaper than trying to make 32 new episodes.

[Digifiend]

Exactly. RPM is already double bills, often one new and one repeat, but recently two new ones. MMPR will likely be the same, two "new" episodes every week.

[blackdinothunder]

That would be nice to see 2 new episodes a week. I really want them to air all of the Season 1 episodes next year. The new toys from Bandai look great, and if they air the whole first season next year then there will be toys from the beginning to the end of the season as well as releasing the entire first season on DVD by next Christmas even if it comes in volumes.

I wonder if the ranger suits will be different. Remember the Green Ranger flashback in dino thunder? His helmet boasted a silver V-like lining on the front.

Figures and the megazord SOLD! ( I was gonna buy them anyway...)

[Ranger Black]

Hmm, awesome :D

[The_Green_Ranger]

I'm so glad, looking forward to new toys and the remastered series.

[Ranger Black]

I'm hopin that they make the Morph Sequence like Adam's OaR Morph. That'd be sweet :D

[RedPsychoRanger23]

this is the most Ive been excited for Power Rangers in a long time, how far are they going with they toys? will the morphers be included? that, all six coins, the megazord and maybe the dragon dagger are what I really want, I've tried Ebay, but to expensive

[Evil Green Ranger]

Could you imagin if they released the Morphers, with removable face plates, that way if they released all 6 coins, you could have a silver morpher AND a Gold morpher! that'd be awesome... though thinking about it...if they do...just going with there current theme, I imagin they'd be alot smaller..and the blade blaster impossibly small

[Red Tyrannosaurus]

I imagine they to the coins like they did to the Engine Cells.

How is that? i never got any RPM toys other then the throw back figures, and the main core rangers

[Shuffle Morpher]

i like to hear some trance or club dance in the opening with rock on it !
with some computer sounds on it ..


and the morph style like digimon live action and sailor moon live action in the mix together into mmpr morph scene .

Live action Digimon? Wha?:confused:

[Digifiend]

Closest Digimon did was CGI for the Agumon, Gabumon and Veemon/Wormmon digivolutions (Ultimate, Warp, DNA, and Mega). Never live action. The mons would still have to be CGI anyway, so what would be the point? Was you thinking like the season 1 ultimate/warp digivolve sequences?

[Red Tyrannosaurus]

Can anyone please post pics of the dino morphin rangers(or whatever the hell they are called)?

[ForeverBlue]

Red Tyrannosaurus: Its just showing reruns of all MMPR episodes but remastered. The only concern is the opening theme song.

check out the merchandise board under the mighty morphine power ranger return thread I posted some pics of green and red ranagers i got at walmart friday night.

[Jason]

I'm just hoping that Disney knows what they are doing when they say they are "remastering" MMPR. Meaning, I hope they at least make the sound quality and picture quality of season 1 better. Also, it'll be a little weird to see the show on actual TV again. I was 9 when MMPR first aired. I am 25 now.

With only 32 out of the 60 episodes for season 1 being remastered I hope they don't cut out key episodes or jumble up the season to where it doesn't "flow". I guess we just have to wait and see how this turns out. I am a little skeptic right now.

EDIT: Do you think Disney will consider this to be season 18 of PR? I wonder if a remastering of MMPR season 2 & 3 are planned for 2011 & 2012?

[ForeverBlue]

Its just reruns not a new season.

[Jason]

Its just reruns not a new season.

I understand that. I was just bringing up a point that I hope they at least touch up the audio and video quality a bit. The technology has improved drastically from 1993 to 2009.

I'm also wondering if this also means we will be getting Blu-Ray releases of both movies?

Disney doesn't have the rights to the movies, so that's Fox's decision.

It is for the first time on blu ray discs ..
that is the reason to make it in HD version .

like RPM ! all later on blu ray .

so i think you happy with my message ..

[DaiRed]

Based on the commercials being shown today during the RPM finale, we may not have to worry about the original music being used, cause I did hear the MM theme in the background.

[rmssw]

They also showed the original logo, which doesn't make sense because the new logo is all over all of the merchandise.

[ForeverBlue]

I noticed that in the promo too...perhaps the new logo is just for the toys

[mbozzo]

I think that today's kids might accept it, if it's done very good. ;)

[DanAbare86]

I had my doubts at first but after watching promo I am now looking to watching it/.

[Jason]

Withthe remastered episodes starting this Saturday I wonder if Disney plans to show more than just season 1 this year? If they are only airing 32 episodes from easch season, they could at least make it through the first two seasons of MMPR this year if they air 2 episodes per week.

[alfers1985]

So I just saw the toys tonight at Target, and bought up the Megazord and the Alpha w/ Zordon figure. I was so excited when I read the series was being remastered, so I went to check my local listings. Guess what? My local ABC affiliate shows all of the ABC kids line up but the last hour. Instead they air paid programming, so I guess I am going to miss out. ...... sadness

[Jason]

Sorry to hear that, alfers1985. My ABC is showing "Day of the Dumpster" and "High Five" this Saturday! I hope this means they will be showing the episodes in order, regardless if they skip a few or not.

[alfers1985]

I am so jealous. I've emailed my station, but that probably wont do any good.

Was your station airing RPM?

[alfers1985]

From what I can tell they didn't air RPM either.

That really sucks alfers.:(

Sorry to hear that, alfers1985. My ABC is showing "Day of the Dumpster" and "High Five" this Saturday! I hope this means they will be showing the episodes in order, regardless if they skip a few or not.

The following week will show "Teamwork" and "A Pressing Engagement." I'd like to think they'll be showing every episode.

Awesome! It'll be great to see MMPR airing on TV again! It's gonna bring back so many memories.

that's what i was worried about. is there anything we can do if MMPR isn't showing in our area? Or are we just plain screwed?

The only ideas I can think of is to either watch the episodes when they are uploaded on You Tube or download the torrents if someone uploads them. Most of the time contacting you affiliate will not get you anywhere.

I'm trying to avoid the way of the pirate, if at all possible. I just remembered that their is a second abc affliiate in my area, but not carried by time warner cable. I checked the fcc's website and found that, despite the change to digital this year, the second rural affiliate is still within broadcast range, and they will be showing MMPR. All I need now is an antenna. Gosh this so takes me back to 1993, before I had cable.

YouTube ain't a pirate site.

Yeah. Besides, MMPR was originally aired basically free of charge on regular TV, so I don't see what the harm would be in watching it free. Sure it would deprive the sponsors of you viewing their advertisements, but does anybody really care if they miss the opportunity to watch commercials?
