The long-running Power Rangers franchise will be coming to a close this November as Power Rangers RPM, season number 17, concludes this venerable marketing machine.

As many of you can probably guess, Power Rangers has LONG been a staple in my life, with my username stemming from that amazing seventh season, Power Rangers in Space. When that final episode airs in November, I will know that I have truly "grown up." I'm hoping and praying this final bow will not go unnoticed here at DeviantArt, and we'll get a sudden revival of Power Rangers artwork.

Rangers, it's been a wild seventeen years, but I guess all good things must come to an end.

EDIT:

BUT THAT END WON'T BE COMING SO SOON!

From Action Figure Insider:

"We just received this word from our friends over at Bandai:


Despite some of the rumors circulating the web, the Power Rangers are not going away in 2010. Disney and Bandai America continue to be committed to the Power Rangers Brand. Disney is producing a Season 18 and Bandai America will continue to develop action figures and toys for fans and collectors of all ages.


In fact, Bandai America is asking fan’s to help choose the next Power Ranger chase figure through a poll with ToyFare. If you haven’t already done so, please vote at [link] 031209powerpoll.html

Over the past seventeen years, the Power Rangers have been on Earth, in space, on the moon, under water, traveling through time, in the jungle and anywhere evil lurks. They’ve battled Rita Repulsa, Divatox, Master Org, Dark Spector, Toxica, Jindrax and many more evil-doers – villains who have been shrunk to miniatures, tossed in jail, reduced to ooze or banished. As Bandai America looks to the future, the Power Rangers toy line will continue to morph into action battling against evil."

You can't keep a good Ranger down for long!

Clubs I'm in (I think)
