Gokaiger x Space Sheriff Gavan?!?

I admit I haven't been paying as close attention I could, so while this has been apparently known for a while, it's taken me by considerable surprise.  It may have blown by me completely were it not for the opening of Toku Nation, the new website in the 2005 network (TFW2005, HissTank, etc). 

Gavan was the first in the Metal Hero series produced by Toei and run from 1982 to 1983.  The series has basically been in retirement since Tetsuwan Tantei Robotak finished in 1998.  Needless to say, I considered the Metal Hero series to be dead, never to return again.  And a crosover of the current sentai series with a 30 year old toku show featuring the original actor who played gavan in 1982?  Unthinkable. 

But amazing.  Good time to be a tokusatsu fan.
