2nd Prize Winner:

Can choose between Triken and Ankyloze, TigerLance, MilNeedle or the RyusoulChanger. I will cover up to $15 for shipping.

----PRIZES MUST BE CLAIMED WITHIN ONE MONTH OF THE WINNERS BEING DECIDED. I WILL BE UTILIZING TOKULLECTIBLES (tokullectibles.com) TO PURCHASE THESE ITEMS FOR YOU---


And now....the final 10:

First off, I just want to thank everyone for submitting such amazing entries. I enjoyed reading every single one. I picked the final 10 based on the following criteria:
-Originality
-Creativity
-Making their idea read/look like a real catalog listing that Bandai would put out

If you were not picked, it doesn't mean your ideas were bad. It just means I didn't resonate with them as strongly as the 10 people below. I encourage EVERYONE to continue to develop their ideas, as we may be doing this again next year. The numbers here are not indicative of any ranking; they are being listed in the order recieved!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  15. I pick @bauerlogan02 AKUMA SENTAI SEISHINGER, looking at other sentais this one has the potential to not only be dark but even humorous. It would be intwresting to see how they deal with the modern day real world.

    ReplyDelete
  19. i'd pick Genreman just for the berets.

    ReplyDelete
  20. The fact @FrozenStratos went through the effort to create the whole fake Matt Hunt screenshots and organize his own rumor story like a usual Sentai would go through is amazing. He gets my vote not only for the fantastic art to go with it but for the effort put into making his entry feel like a genuine Sentai would be revealed.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I pick @CDragonis's Clockwork Sentai Gearranger, as I find it's concepts very interesting and intriguing.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Out of all of them, I enjoyed the ideas of Appliranger, so that one gets my vote

    ReplyDelete
  23. I pick astroRanger by @Lysergic44, because it reminds me a little bit about kyuranger and I think that a space theme is needed once again.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I like GASHAPON SENTAI CAPSOUGER! Good concept, cool collectible, I like the way they presented the concept, and the idea of a JAKQ-esque 4-Ranger team appeals to me. The graphic brings it all home.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I choose SEIZA SENTAI ASTRORANGER by @Lysergic44 because the other day I immediately said that we might have a winner to him so yeah

    ReplyDelete
  26. I choose @Bauerlogan02's AKUMA SENTAI SEISHINGER bc friendship and he worked so hard on those designs and they're awesome

    ReplyDelete
  27. I pick @bauerlogan02 because I think his idea encompasses all the ideals that this contest was about and his creativity was off the charts! And he even designed helmets for everyone on his team! So good and fun and fresh!

    ReplyDelete
  28. #2 Toshokan Sentai Honranger

    It is the most original.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I pick @bauerlogan02 due to many things. The theme was amazing, with such a good plot. This was the one I would want to see the most come to life. Not only did it have an amazing theme, but the full team shot was great and easy to picture. They went out of their way and created 3-D models of the cool helmets. And on top of everything had a clever video idea which made the whole thing seem so real it was amazing. And having their OWN music. In all this one was the most I was intrigued and excited to read.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I choose @bauerlogan02 because I agree with every other coment posted about his work!

    ReplyDelete
  31. 2). TOSHOKAN SENTAI HONRANGER by @Rzochoa this is a great and original idea, I think this one should win!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Cyber Sentai Appliranger because I think their story is interesting and I can't read a majority of the other stories due to weird picture view.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I pick astroRanger BY @lysergic44 Because I am a sucker for space !!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I vote for 2). TOSHOKAN SENTAI HONRANGER by @Rzochoa because it is clearly awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  35. TOSHOKAN SENTAI HONRANGER (#2) should win. It’s really good.

    ReplyDelete
  36. TOSHOKAN SENTAI HONRANHer is the coolest idea. This guy has a lot of great ideas.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think grand prize should definitely go to PhantomToku’s Cyber Sentai Appliranger. Seems like it would be a very interesting season

    ReplyDelete
  38. I pick TOSHOKAN SENTAI HONRANGER by @Rzochoa because it is a really unique concept.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I like TOSHOKAN SENTAI HONRANGER. The puns alone make this sentai stand out above the others. It is the clear winner.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I like Astroranger. I like the mix Greek lore with the constellations especially with the use of virgo and Gemini love the zord designs

  42. I pick number 5 AstroRanger by Lysergic44, mostly cos I love anything dealing with the horoscope theme, that includes Saint Seiya and Choushinsei Gransazer.

  44. Capsouger is the most unique one here, so it gets my vote. Thanks for choosing mine as a finalist though (i'm nintles and i worked on the Konchuuger concept, and shared it on the twitter i share with Team BridgeBrains) i really appreciate it!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I believe Akuma Sentai Seishinger is the best because from designs to the story, it is extremely well thought out. It takes the traditional mythical creature theme and flips it on its head with an antihero team. The team looks like it could be designed by Toei with its uniformity and individuality both shining. I think the accompanying video really shows how much work was put in with 3D models of helmets and the changer with an original theme song to create a complete Sentai rumor worth exploring further.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I pick Appliranger by PhantomToku. Would love to see a cyber-themed series especially since I work in an IT-related field.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm picking @TrueKROOO because I love the idea of a movie genre Team. Also love the American in the group, plus the conspiracy aspect of it reminds me of that old movie with Rowdy Roddy Piper.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I pick @PhantomToku's Appliranger because of how phones and the internet are a big part of our daily life.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I vote for Seiza Sentai Astroranger!!! Using the zodiac is pure genius and connecting the 12 zodiac with the 12 Olympians would be a nice crossover.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I pick astroRanger by @Lysergic44, because it reminds me a little bit about kyuranger. Genius theme (y)

    ReplyDelete

  52. I pick Astrowarriors @lysergic44! I'm a sucker for anything zodiac related 😍

    ReplyDelete
  53. I pick astroranger by @lysergic44, who else deserve to win btw? Its lysergic44 everyone ‘-‘v so dope

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love @lysergic's Astroranger! The story is interesting! Also,man! The design is astounding!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I vote @lysergic44 the design is wonderfull

    ReplyDelete
  56. I pick Seisa Sentai Astroranger by @lysergic44. It's very unique theme!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I vote @lysergic44 the design is so awesome!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Astroranger i choose you!
    Lysergic's art is just amazing
    That gemini zord tho..
    Man that's awesome

    ReplyDelete
  59. Despite not having art work, I believe Appliranger should win. The idea is a great reference to the Appmon anime and it really could work in this age considering how much we use phones

    ReplyDelete
  60. Appliranger got my vote. Just sounds like you could do some great visual stuff with that idea.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Agreeing with everything that has said before, I’m voting for Appliranger in support of my boy Jacob

    ReplyDelete
  62. I vote AstroRanger by @lysergic44 just because I like it man!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I vote for @lysergic44 his work is amazing.. I love the details

    ReplyDelete
  64. I vote for @Lysergic44's Astroranger, this is so interesting and genius.
    His design is so details

    ReplyDelete
  65. #2 TOSHOKAN SENTAI HONRANGER, hands down my favorite, I really had to think conceptually between this and Lysergic44, but this is my final winner.

    ReplyDelete
  66. My vote is going to #3, it seems like a very unique idea, I hope Phantom wins this

    ReplyDelete
  67. GASHAPON SENTAI CAPSOUGER! The clear winner

    ReplyDelete
  68. I definitely vote for @lysergic44 I love how detail his design is. It's remarkable

    ReplyDelete
  69. GASHAPON SENTAI CAPSOUGER by @FrozenStratos - It's the perfect idea lol then there would be DX Capsules and Gashapon and Capsule Capsules lol Puls his artwork is great and he kept it as authentic as it could be. Lol Also very interesting only starting with four members and therefore a four mecha combination.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Seiza SENTAI Astroranger I love the concept of space and God's and those mechas were cool

    ReplyDelete
  71. Despite not having a design listed in the catalog, I’m voting for Appliranger

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm stuck between Honranger and Astroranger... Perhaps I can vote for Honranger because it reminds me of ToQger in a sense that it's a motif that not a lot of people take too much interest in and it's a learning opportunity for the kids. Also: that brace is just too interesting to pass up.

    (I'm actually really surprised that my all-girl team got picked, tho... Was not expecting it considering that has never happened before on Sentai when it comes to the core team and the designs are quite simple. But thank you for having me in the top 10! I look forward to the results!)

    ReplyDelete
  73. SEIZA SENTAI ASTRORANGER totally!!!

    ReplyDelete
  74. I pick Akuma Sentai, @bauerlogan02. This idea has lots of potential for enemies and zord options to that could make a good series and run for a long time. The inclusion of demon coins would add more power to the rangers as the season went on. Also, this could be one of the darker seasons as it has to do with the underworld directly.

    ReplyDelete
  75. It was a tough choice but I have to go with
    GASHAPON SENTAI CAPSOUGER
    Because so much effort was put into every single detail, and it shows in the beautiful presentation

    ReplyDelete
  76. I vote @lysergic44. great concept, amazing....

    ReplyDelete
  77. @Lysergic44 Because the mythology theme is interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I vote @Lysergic44. The concept is so great!!!

    ReplyDelete
  79. I vote @PhantomToku, his idea is fantastic

    ReplyDelete
  80. I vote FrozenStratos' Capsouger, love that the images looks like an actual toy catalog. :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. Capsouger and Astroranger all the way! The pictures are amazing as well as the designz!

    ReplyDelete
  82. @Lysergic44's art got my vote. It's different and cool af!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I pick astroRanger By @lysergic44, because it's a damn great. The other not to much better. The concept is so great, imagine if this to make a series ranger.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I'm all in for SEIZA SENTAI ASTRORANGER by @Lysergic44. Such a neat idea and the art is amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I’m going to choose PhantomToku’s fanmade Sentai!

    ReplyDelete
  86. I'm gonna go with GASHAPON SENTAI CAPSOUGER by @FrozenStratos.That was a TON of visuals and thought put into those designs and concepts. And going out of his way to make the fake posts is an extra layer of detail that deserves recognition.
