Toei tired of Disney?

You have to remember that Steve Wang is a true Kamen Rider fan. I believe he watched 70s Kamen Rider from the beginning.

Steve Wang was an Ultraman fan, watching it as a kid in Taiwan, before he moved to the US. I met Steve when he was still a teenager through a mutual friend, and we would get together and watch videos -- I brought over stuff like KIKAIDA and KAMEN RIDER. I think it was the first time that Steve saw KAMEN RIDER. This would have been around 1982/83. Steve was a far bigger fan of SPACE SHERIFF GAVAN than KAMEN RIDER -- mostly because of the stunts and camera work, which he worked into several of his early productions, such as THE KUNG FU RASCALS.

I'm gonna say this once, and only once. And after I do, I don't wanna hear it said in this thread again. Okay?

Cool.

"GO GO POWER RANGERS, BUY ALL OUR PLAYSETS AND TOYS!"

lol. :P

But... Power Rangers will die. and... My past... will crumble... :( But... considering disney raping it... >:(

I hope Toei will keep the PR thing going, I'd say bring Super Sentai to Adness. They are doing Dragon Knight, so why not PR.
 
I've heard rumors about this too. I can't say anything definite, but since I love stirring the pot... I think what I heard was that Disney was actually unhappy with what Toei was doing and started asking for them to make things that would be easier to adapt into a PR show. Toei responded by saying "how about no?" and thus Power Rangers the animated series was born.

That's the rumor I heard, anyway. Who knows.
