Tamashii Nations met with Saban Brands during San Diego Comic Con 2012 to lay plans down to make SDCC 2013 the Year of the Power Ranger Fan! If you were wondering why S.H. Figuarts has not tackled ZyuRanger yet… this is why. They want to make the release of ZyuRanger to be a big one next year for Mighty Morphing Power Ranger fans and are even working out the details of how to hook us up with a couple Comic Con Exclusives.
There was a distinct lack of Power Ranger, Super Sentai, and Kamen Riders on display this year at SDCC as they wanted to focus more on their new anime and video game figure releases coming down the pipe. Next year, expect the tokusatsu display to return in force as well as announcements for more S.H. Figuarts from Power Ranger seasons that the fandom knows very well. Keep an eye on Tamashii Nation’s Facebook Page for upcoming details and polls that will allow the fans to help choose which Power Ranger season might get the next S.H. Figuart treatment.
We’ll keep you posted on more as it breaks, especially when the Official Polls hit. 😀

…or people can buy the Japanese ones. I bet they’ll be better quality than the American versions.

If they do it like the Shinkenger Red and Gold and Toys R Us, then they WILL be the Japanese ones, just sold at an American toy store.

The article said “the release of ZYURANGER.”
Obviously, to American PR fans who have no idea what Sentai is, it’ll just be MMPR to them, so it works both ways.
Besides, Tamashii Nations = Figuarts. No matter which branch of the company initiates the order for new figures, it’ll be the same as Japanese releases.
