JDF WATCH

  • A KickStarter from Tammie Frank, wife of Jason David Frank, is asking $200,000 to fund a documentary called “Jason David Frank: An Intimate Look into Your Hero”. The documentary “explores his life and legacy while promoting suicide awareness and mental health.” With only 11 days to go and only 8 backers, it seems like Ranger Nation is tired of funding Power Rangers actor-related projects.

BEHIND THE SCENES

  • A year after the release of Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, Simon Bennett was interviewed by Blue Screen Reveals. In the interview, Simon talked about ideas for a 31st season that will never happen and that the fandom was totally normal about online:

“I came up with a pitch for a possible Season 31, which never went anywhere. It was a fully fledged kind of bible document, and within it were types of Rangers that I would like to see in the future. I would have liked to have seen a plus-size Power Ranger. I would have liked to have seen a Power Ranger in a wheelchair that could transform into some kind of very cool fighting tool when that Ranger morphed. I would have liked to have seen a non-binary Power Ranger. That was actually something that we were kind of setting up … It was going to be [J.J. Oliver], Tommy Oliver’s teenage child who was established in canon in [Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Episode 10] Dimensions in Danger. We saw potentially Minh from Once & Always and the non-binary character putting together a team of misfits. It was an idea that never actually went anywhere.”

“What did I do to deserve drawing a Power Rangers book? Seriously! Back in the 90s, kids of my age in China got only a handful of American shows and cartoons and they were simply priceless!

NEWS – Final Power Rangers Battle For The Grid Season 3 character revealed!

By | |
1 Comment

Today nWay teased the next upcoming character for Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid and one could say she’s….got some sting to her. That’s right – fan-favorite and iconic villainess Scorpina is headed to the game as the last character for Season 3!

Scorpina will join the fight on December 8th as the final DLC in the Season 3 Pass.

The ruthless minion of Rita Repulsa and fighting partner of Goldar, Scorpina has repeatedly proven to be one of the Ranger’s most dangerous opponents. But just what kind of fighting style will Scorpina bring to the game? Expect more details and a full gameplay trailer the closer we get to her official release in the game. Until then, check out the short teaser video and screenshots.

And don’t forget – Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid Collector’s Edition on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One will be available at retail on October 13th for $29.99. Pre-order is now available at major game retailers, including Amazon and Gamestop. Those who pre-order will receive two copies of the Green Ranger V2 skin — one for themselves and one to give to a friend.

Finally, Lauren Shiba the Red Samurai Ranger, was added to the roster last week. Sweet, tough and kind-hearted, Lauren Shiba took over the role of Red Samurai Ranger momentarily and led the team against Nighlok. Lauren spent her life mastering the sealing symbol in secret, while her younger brother Jayden led the Samurai Rangers until her return. After Lauren used the Sealing Symbol on Master Xandred, she relinquished her leadership role back to Jayden to finish the fight.

Lauren Shiba’s combat style is heavily influenced by traditional samurai sword fighting. From dashing in for close combat with her to her quick jab attack using the butt of her sword, this Red Samurai Ranger proves to be a threat even with and without her weapon drawn. In addition to her Samuraizer Sword techniques, Lauren will be the most agile ranger to enter the Grid thanks to her special dash mechanic and double jumps.

Players will be able to digitally purchase Lauren Shiba on the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Microsoft Store, Steam and Stadia for $5.99 or alternatively purchase the game’s Season Pass at $14.99 which includes Lauren Shiba, RJ, and Scorpina. The Season Pass also includes the exclusive Phantom Beast King skin for Dai Shi.
