www.rangercast.com has the first three streaming episodes Man, it's pretty awesome. Guess what. The blue guy is Filipino (for the nth time- www.xtophe.blogspot.com ) They changed the morphers though. The gekichangers were replaced with Solar Morphers (sunglasses). Below are three rangers that were not in Gekiranger that may or may not be part of PRJF in the future. They represent the other animal spirits (zords) Elephant, Shark and Bat rangers and are available in the PRJF line in different figure forms.

Yeah. I'm thinkin about getting them. The price is reasonable. They're not out on RETAIL though, yet. We gotta get Overdrive before this.

yep.... if Overdrive is shown on our local CN by the 4th quarter of this year, then we should be seeing the figures out on malls around that time as well.

I hope that PR Jungle Fury will be the last of the PR series. If in the Philippines you have pirated DVD's,fake handbags etc. , the PR is the legal-pirated version of the bunch.

This new "jungle fury- beastmaster" megazord are really for the american market. Sorry for the tagalog line- "sinisira ng disney at ng Bandai U.S. ang sentai" It is like Salvador Dali pirating the works of Da Vinci. Or Botong Francisco pirating the works of Shirou Masamune. Or Mariah Carey singing the songs of Willie Revillame. I heard that in Jungle Fury, the "rangers" can use energy projectiles. But they can't punch an enemy at the face. Something is wrong with their think tank, if they have one

Well, you can chalk that up to screwed American logic... To be honset, there are times where they really underestimate the inteligence of the kids viewing these shows... Add that to really weird child-raising concepts of the US.
Honestly, how they restrusctured the rangers (Gekiviolet is the "mentor" character, ala Tomy Oliver if Dino Thunder and Anubis Cruger of SPD, sunglasses for morphers...) and added additional non-existent rangers to the mix... I can't even think to imagine how they'll use Gekichopper and the SaiDaiOu...
Apparently the writers wanted to Americanize the VERY Asian Gekirangers, to the point that it's absolutely silly.
BEAST ON!
jya na!

After seeing the whole of Geki, I'm gonna have to agree with you guys on this one (surprise ThunderBreak, haha) Never thought I'd say this but some of the 'adaptations' became 'mustardizations' (don't wanna use the other word). Unlike SPD and Mystic Force, whose American versions I prefer, I definitely like the Jap versions of Geki and Boukenger

Actually guys, IMHO what US Bandai is doing now is pretty cool . . . This new "jungle fury- beastmaster" megazord are really for the american market. Sorry for the tagalog line- "sinisira ng disney at ng Bandai U.S. ang sentai" Come on, sentai will always be sentai, whatever goofy items Power Rangers put out there, the sentai toys will still be in hobby shops and the secondary market. (before we just had a choice between a well detailed Sentai version, and a poorly detailed US version of the same mold w/ bad plastic quality) Now that US Bandai releases new Rangers and new Megazord molds = more variety, more choices Well, you can chalk that up to screwed American logic... To be honset, there are times where they really underestimate the inteligence of the kids viewing these shows... Add that to really weird child-raising concepts of the US. no need to get racist now i haven't seem Jungle Fury yet but if they really did butcher the characters and did add new rangers, then that's great! just like the good old MMPR days where the power rangers wore zyuranger costumes up to dairangers and kakurangers adaptations hehehe Honestly, how they restrusctured the rangers (Gekiviolet is the "mentor" character, ala Tomy Oliver if Dino Thunder and Anubis Cruger of SPD, sunglasses for morphers...) and added additional non-existent rangers to the mix... I can't even think to imagine how they'll use Gekichopper and the SaiDaiOu... rearranging characters/plot may be screwed up for some, but i definitely prefer it over the "copy-paste" that's been going on since after MMPR

@ clowz No i'm not going racist now, thank you. But you have to admit, they raise their kids pretty darn weird... Well, not that our side does any better.
I have nothing against the Power Rangers Franchise in general... To be honest, while Dekaranger was good, I also like the SPD version (Anubis Crueger / Dekamaster rocks, in whatever version...).
It's just particularly the westernization of Gekiranger that doesn't sit well with me. But I don't hate either franchise.
jya na!
