No ones gunna read this, but you probably should...
Truth is, no one knows. The actors, creators etc... have no idea what WB's deal with CN is.
Have they finished all their work on the show? Not likely. CN airs stuff for X period before investing more financial help money to keep their shows alive. Remember Big O? Huge hit, and they ordered a second season AFTER the show was canned in Japan.
Does this mean TC is dead? No. Does it mean it CAN continue? Yes. Things just need to go smooth and people need to be loud about what they want. Pretty simple stuff, people are looking way too much into it. Buisness first guys. No money, no ticket.
Now for the toys........
Bandai is pretty cool. Theyve never once held a story or future about power rangers, ben10 etc.... when Avatar : Last Airbender toys were out, they had unveiled wave 3 or 4 at toyfair. When the show took a long hiatus they pulled the plug on the line.
The left over toys made their way to Hong Kong and were distributed by private dealers. Bandai didnt know what to the do with the line and were affraid to keep investing (thats why so many main players werent released, true, they didnt make girls because of that, and thats a fact jack!)
Power Rangers was on the death bed around the time Saban bought it back. MMPR : Ressurected was a flop. The show bombed and the toys were pulled after 2 waves. All left overs were dollar store specials.
-----------------------------
My prediction from past events ::::
The show will go on. WB isnt stupid when it comes to money (even though they turned down my soundtrack proposal..) They will most likely wrap the show up and if CN pulls it, we will get a ending on DVD. Not too worried even though no one officially knows whats up.
The Toys : Pretty much a dead deal in the US, IMO. If you base sales off of case ratio's, say 12 figures a case, 5 figures in there are 1 per figure, if someone gets a full set that creates peg warmers. When cats started shipping crazy cases, LionO,Tygra and old MummRa didnt sell crap. Bandai bases that too. Stupid, yes, but numbers are numbers to them, not play value. Any company would see that.
A third wave will probably be shown at some point and be released ONLY oversea's. If you consider how long a sculpt takes and everything, wave 3 has to be around. No way its not. With waves 1 and 2 overseas already in some area's, they will need product to pimp the show, so get a buddy oversea's and get ready.....
