Black key in GokaiGalleonBuster is GoseiBlack, not a new Gokaiger :(


Credit to Mr. Gashunum, Goseiblack is shown as one of the options of the keys that don't fit the other color schemes. Sadly, there is no seventh Gokaiger. Dukemon22 says there could still be a chance.

Bandai Toy Product Search

Bandai America and Edison Nation are looking for innovative kids' toys. But it is not one ordinary contest. You have to have a prototype of the product and have to give $25 dollars to enter the contest. They are looking for innovative products and can use any of the Bandai labels like Power Rangers, Ben 10, etc. Don't take my word for it, click on the link and check it out. I know there is fans out there that make custom toys, so I wanted to put this out there for them to check out.

My Crazy Idea for Future Gokaiger McDonalds


In response to the quality of the McDonalds Toys of Power Rangers Samurai, I was thinking of an impossible idea. Impossible because it might not happen because of the quality and the amount of toys. They did recently have 16 Smurf toys. Recently they have toys split into girls and boys, 8 each. If Gokaiger gets adapted into Power Rangers, I don't think this would happen. I thought this would just be fun to do. I did the six Pirates and tried to do one key per team, which was hard. I also tried to make the keys simple as possible. Oh the thing is that they are key chains.

 
Top Left to Right: Red, Blue, Green, Silver, Yellow Mystic Ranger, (Red Ranger);
Bottom Left to Right: Gold Ranger, Black Space Ranger, Violet Wolf Ranger, White Dino Ranger,Titanium Ranger and Blue Turbo Ranger.



Top Left to Right: Pink, Yellow, Princess Red Samurai Ranger, White Wild Force, Yellow Galaxy Ranger, Pink OO Ranger.
Bottom Left to Right: Pink MMPR Ranger, Blue Wind Ranger, Ranger Silver, White Aquitar Ranger, Pink Time Force Ranger and Yellow SPD Ranger.

For the Titanium Ranger, I used a fan made key I didn't make. I wanted to use a Gold Ranger from RPM or Samurai, but I already had RPM Silver and female Red Samurai Ranger. Some key grooves are the real ones from the Deluxe or Gasphon Keys, some I reused from another one, so they aren't all accurate. Some I just pasted the logo on a key I changed the color to. For example, the Pink MMPR key, I used Miss America's Key.


Here are the ones I wanted to use but traded for other colors.


I just had fun doing this! Someone else made the logo, I did not.

Power Rangers Samurai McDonalds Toy Commercial


McDonalds commercial aired on Nick today, saying this Friday PRS was coming. It had the Rangers (three male Rangers in the cockpit of Battlewing) inside the Samurai Megazord and saying they were hungry.

Miss America Ranger Key highly sought


When I first heard the Miss America key was coming out with Gasphon Series 4, I thought it was silly. I'm personally not crazy about the suits of Battle Fever J but once I saw the key, I found it fascinaitng as they actually sculpted her hair and all unique it looks. But it actually turns out to be a rare key because they only sell it with the whole set. It is now highly sought. It is not Marvel related, as Marvel comics had some hand in her creation but because very little are being made. A bid online (Yahoo! Japan) is currently going for 910 yen (12 bidders so far), that is about $11.73 in American and Canadian currency and 7.40 pounds (UK). It ends on the 15th of September in Japan. Now why would anyone want a key with a horrid human face and peach 'skin' legs? Because of its cheesy-ness and also, there is not much Pink keys right now, soon but maybe not soon enough.

Chichoc of Rangerboard says:
"So the Gaoranger set costs 1,7K Yen (12 keys) without the "rare key", in this case Miss America, the complete set costs 3,1K (13 keys). I was willing to buy the Gaoranger set, but I also wanted MissAmerica and it bothers me to pay almost double for one single key..."

I usually get a key for 200 to 400 yen and I bid with Celga, they do the bid with Japan and with shipping and their fees, for about one key it adds up to around (more or less) 13 bucks (I say more or less because it is better to ship a bunch of things at once and I haven't asked to ship just yet). So if tried bidding for this one, it might cost me 22 bucks.

Gokaiger Toy Showroom Machalcon and Gokai Galleon Buster

Machalcon
Gokai Galleon Buster

 If you notice in the top part of the Buster ad, it has seven circles. Clockwise: Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, Silver and a Purple circle. There is a blacked out key (probably blacked out to avoid spoilers) there, you can't see it, just white gloves on the Rangerkey. When the Gokai Guns came out, I remember the seven LED lights and seeing purple and white and hoping for a purple Gokaiger. Now it being purple it might mean a Black Ranger. But since this is the last toy wave, a new Gokaiger could be unlikely. Many people are suspecting Basco might become a Gokaiger, maybe its a re-colored Gokai Red. Or a tie-in to the next Sentai. Who knows? We'll see!

Power Rangers Samurai coming Mcdonalds Happy Meal

In a few weeks in September Power Rangers Samurai is finally coming to McDonalds. I expected this to happen. There is eight toys: Samurai Megazord, Gold Ranger, Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Spin Disc, Fire Smasher Cannon Blast mode, Hydro Bow and a spinner thing. I have covered what toys there has been before in McDonalds (it sure has been a lot) and what I liked and didn't. The girl toy is iCarly. My niece and nephew (Jaiden) frequent McDonalds a lot. I even had a poll about it. STARTS SEPTEMBER 16, 2011

 UPDATED 9/19/11
 I recently checked it out, and the Happy Meal box only has Red, Gold and Blue and has their names but lacks Mike (:(), who seems to be the fan favorite (with kids too). I got the Red Ranger spinner toy and it is quite detailed even though it lacks paint.

The following is my own creation:
Instead of iCarly, they should had made a girl version for PR. I would had the spinner be Yellow's weapon and have a cheaper version of the toy. And I couldn't think of a replacement for the Megazord. For the turtle on the spin disc sword, I use the turtle they have in the actual background of the picture. I also used the girl weapons from the Bandai America Mega Mode toys. The photoshop is badly done on purpose, for people not to think its real.
