Our coverage from NYCC 2014 isn’t over yet! Our very own Sentai Tamashii spoke with Bandai of America to ask some questions and we got some answers! So let’s not beat around the bush – here they are! Please note that these are not exact quotes, these are paraphrased.
TokuNation: When can we expect to see the first retail release of Power Rangers Dino Charge? The previous two series (Megaforce and Super Megaforce released at Toys’R’Us right after Thanksgiving).
Bandai: First approximate release is going to be around December at Toys’R’Us much like Megaforce and Super Megaforce before it.
TokuNation: When can we expect to see the release of the Legacy Mighty Morphin Movie 5″ Figures?
Bandai: The latter half of 2015.
TokuNation: With Kyoryuger there were some gender swaps throughout the series. Can we expect to see those in the 5″ line for Dino Charge?
Bandai: We cannot disclose the gender of any of the unseen Dino Charge Power Rangers but every Ranger on the show will have a figure released.
TokuNation: What about villains? Can we expect more toys of villains?
Bandai: Yes. There will be more villains released per feedback.
TokuNation: Can we expect to see more homages to previous Power Rangers through the Dino Charge toy line, whether it be in 5″ form or Armored Might?
Bandai: All homages will be specifically through fan support.
TokuNation: There’s a lot of Megazords in Kyoryuger (5 including Topaspino). Will we see them all in the Dino Charge toy line?
Bandai: We don’t want to step on Saban Brands toes by saying anything at this moment. Wait for Saban Brands to answer that question.
TokuNation: When can we expect an announcement on the teased Ranger Keys for the fall?
Bandai: Due to partnerships we cannot disclose any of that at this time.
TokuNation: What is the name of the Dino Charge morpher? And does the mouth open?
Bandai: It is officially called the Deluxe Dino Charge Morpher. The mouth does open and has one battery port inside.
Special thanks to Greg from Bandai of America for taking the time to answer our questions!

Had me excited for a moment!
Can't wait! Are you guys there now?
Hopefully we get more info on the new key packs that Raz found in Target's system.
I wonder if it is too good to hope for some other Zords to be shown, or a hint at what comes after the Tigerzord in the Legacy line.
We already know the MMPR Movie Legacy figures (including Ivan Ooze) are on hand at the show. There's also some Ranger Keys and some Dino Charge figures also on display.
Sentai Tamashii is en route as we speak to the show, while we do have our photo guys who do all the shows there and waiting for camera restrictions to be lifted. Any pictures you see right now online are taken when security isn't looking and, if they choose to trace the pictures back to who took them, risk throwing themselves and whomever got them in to the show early out of the show.
Not worth the risk for "super early from a distance" pictures.

God, I REALLY hope they show a Reteofire-style Super Megaforce Q-Rex Megazord. Are you guys looking/hoping for anything in particular?
Also word on what happened to that Figuarts Zero Lord Zedd that was teased back at SDCC. I don't remember hearing anything one way or the other at PMC.

Heck just give me the Red Dragon Thunderzord and I'd be set.
