They changed the design in the comics enough. I think Discotek can probably still do Spielban and Metalder. They haven’t done Jiraiya yet either so I wouldn’t rule them out yet. They don’t seem to be going in any particular order for the most part so I’m not ruling anything out until they say so.

It'd be nice if they can! But I have my doubts for now given Hasbro's track record. If we do end up seeing those shows released here though I'd be very happy with being proven wrong!

All these issues do make me wonder if Kabutack and Robotack are on the table and if we’ll get them sooner rather than later. I would like to know if Discotek sees those 2 as viable sets.

If the B-Fighters are off the table and somehow Spielban and Metalder are hard to get, once the other 4 remaining Metal Heroes are out, Kabutack and Robotack would be great gets. I would love to buy those 2.

I would totally get Robotack because the 2 episodes Toei had subbed were fun watches

It's a fun show. My friend and I were keeping up weekly until he stopped getting tapes about halfway through.

I never thought about it that way. Maybe the changes were enough to avoid paying Toei any royalties. Back in 2022, I thought they shelved the Fiveman dvd, but I was told eOne, Toei, and Shout! worked together to release it. So who knows what will happen.

We need to go back and erase Haim Saban from the timeline

Does that say "The Legacy of Nero" or "Nerd" ? the font kind of sucks 😬

"But, but Shaider--"

Was not as essential I'm guessing.

I was worried that Beetleborgs would have fucked over a potential Janperson release. Glad that at least that wasn't the case.

strongest-lewman.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I'm also pretty sure this is why B-Fighter stuff still can't be released over here: Because someone is clutching the Beetleborgs license waiting for a chance to plug it to vaguely nostalgic adults.

Presumably Hasbro owns all that stuff now. Can’t imagine them actually even realizing it until someone else asks for permission to do something at this point.

It also falls into the same mentality as MMPR licensed stuff these days: "If it's not season 1, who would be nostalgic for it?"

I really don't like this. They didnt capture what made the suits cool imo. Kinda a small blessing Saban messed up so hard with Black RX that they didn't want anything to do with it after.
