under Power Rangers

Some people like to collect the Zords that form various Megazords from Power Rangers. Others like to collect the action figures, or like myself, the S.H. Figuarts versions of your favorite Super Sentai teams (Toys’R’Us Shinken Red and Gold anyone?). But one of the more popular things to collect are the various morphers (the devices that our heroes use to transform in to the Power Rangers).

Below are links to various morphers from the Power Rangers over the years. Check them out if you’re interested!

– Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (with all 5 original coins)
– Power Rangers Zeo (Super Sentai OhRanger Red) morpher
– Power Rangers Turbo key morpher (complete)
– Power Rangers In Space Astro Morpher (no working sounds)
– Power Rangers Lost Galaxy morpher
– Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue “Rescue Morpher”
– Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue “Titanium Morpher”
– Power Rangers Time Force “Chrono Morpher”
– Power Rangers Wild Force “Growl Phone” morpher
– Power Rangers Ninja Storm “Wind Morpher”
– Power Rangers Dino Thunder “Dino Morpher”

Obviously there are still many more morphers out there, but we wanted to put up a few of our favorite ones. If this is your kind of thing to collect, we wish you the best of luck on bidding!

under Super Sentai

Along with the 36th Super Sentai Series, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, Toei plans to launch a second live action Sentai series this year titled: Hikōnin Sentai Akibaranger.

under Metal Heroes, Super Sentai

Toei’s official Youtube account has released a short but fully subtitled video interview with actor Kenji Ohba to promote the upcoming Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs Uchuu Keiji Gavan The Movie.

Reprising his role as the Space Sheriff Gavan for the movie, Ohba is also known for his roles in the Super Sentai series’ Battle Fever J and Denji Sentai Denziman, playing Battle Kenya and Denji Blue respectively. Ohba will also be transforming into these two characters during the course of the movie.

In the interview, Ohba shares some of his experiences during filming of the original Metal Heroes series back in 1982.
