Plans for Next Year

Fury Diamond of RangerCrew has a well detailed article about Saban's Plans for next year's series as well as the 20th Anniversary.

You can read it here: http://blog.samuraicast.com/rangercrew-interview-with-saban-brands-about-power-rangers-megaforce/

Here's just an overview of what was talked about:

-Saban plans on having a campaign for the "Super Fans" (older fans). It will involve a re-doing of Power Rangers.com and make it more interactive.

-Saban Brands has also acquired the Saturday morning 4Kids block and plans to air 1-2 episodes of Power Rangers starting this fall! It will most likely and definitely be from MMPR-RPM and possibly Samurai/Super Samurai. This could also be the future home of Power Rangers in 2015 once the 2014 contract with Nick is up. And thank God, because airing only 20 episodes a year is just too cruel and would put us years behind of the Sentai if continued.

-Saban Brands and the Cast of Power Rangers Samurai will be at Comic-Con once again this year. They will also be promoting the Power Rangers 20th Anniversary, which will also include the first teaser for next year's Power Rangers Megaforce!

-Both Saban and the Samurai Cast will be at Power Morphicon this year! This is exciting news once again. The Megaforce teaser will also be shown there too.

-As mentioned before, Saban Brands plans on creating a website exclusively for the Power Rangers 20th Anniversary. It has been stated that the Anniversary will start as early as January 2013. It will include some surprises and giveaways.

-The Megaforce Rangers will appear in this year's Thanksgiving Day Parade, much like the Samurai Rangers did back in 2010, to promote the premiere.

-Power Rangers Megaforce will air in 2013 and 2014, consisting of 20 episodes with 2 specials each year.

- Lionsgate plans on releasing Samurai boxed sets later down the line. So that's good news!

-Gokaiger was not chosen because they simply cannot skip a Sentai series, just as some expected. We may see the Gokaigers in 2014 possibly or something that has to do with them.

Power Rangers Megaforce Mega Bloks Revealed

From RangerCrew:

They look amazing!! While I'm still pissed that Goseiger will be adapted, I'm starting to slowly get over it more. I also found out the reason why Gokaiger was not chosen for next year. I will reveal more in another post. Also click on the link I posted above to view more awesome Power Rangers Apparel due to be released and more!

New Power Rangers Megaforce Images

From Rangercrew:

Power Rangers Megaforce premieres early 2013 with 22 episodes including holiday specials.

This could mean many things. Fans are hoping that Goseiger footage will be used for only 22 episodes and then move on to Gokaiger. But with how Samurai was aired, many believe that 22 will air in 2013 and the rest of the other 20 episodes will be in 2014 all including Goseiger footage. Hopefully someone will clear things up.

Also a special thank you to Fury Diamond of RangerCrew for going to the Licensing Exop to provide the fandom with all this information. Thanks a lot!
