Sure you’ve seen the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in live action, but what about in animation? Mike McCraw has uploaded his latest take on the animated MMPR, this time featuring the Blue Ranger!
El Paso Inc. has posted a brief interview with Walter E. Jones, who played Zack Taylor on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! After Power Rangers, Jones went onto to star in a space-faring Nickelodeon show, and has continued to act ever since. In the interview, Jones talks of grown men who trip out upon meeting him:
…there are lots of grown men I’ve met that when they meet me, they trip out. I don’t know, it depends on what Power Rangers meant to you when you were a child. For some people, it’s like, “I rushed home every day from school to see your show.” For other people, it’s like, “I built a circle of friends because we all worked as team to be Power Rangers, and that took me out of being shy.” For some people it’s “you were an inspiration to me because I didn’t have confidence in myself, and when I started playing and doing karate and gymnastic, it changed my whole life.”
El Paso Inc. asked what Jones missed most about MMPR, and he replied:
A regular check (laughs). I think it’s probably just the camaraderie of my cast and the feeling of being part of something that was so big and that was growing so fast. It was a phenomenon – I’m still part of it, I’m part of the original cast, I’m part of the originators of it coming to America. But that moment of understanding that it was going to be something that was taking over, and the surprise of it all was an amazing time.
At this point in time it has been 20 years since Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers started taking over, and the Power Rangers brand hasn’t stopped since.
As Toys R Us prepares for the holiday season, new Power Rangers Super Samurai toys by Bandai America have been turning up on shelves. Some are exclusives, some are mass market items. Recently sighted on-shelf was the new Toys R Us Exclusive Samurai Ranger Team set. This multi-pack features the following:
Here’s something we have not seen for a while, a remote control Megazord! Or rather, to be precise, a Power Rangers Samurai Remote Control Samurai Megazord! This new item was sighted recently at Toys R Us, where it is currently on endcap displays. It can “walk” and swings its sword. More images after the jump!

The initial rumor of Jyuden Sentai Kyoryuger first broke and was reported by other sites a couple of weeks ago. We here at TokuNation.com wanted to wait before jumping the gun – other sites have fallen prey to posting up early information that was the result of pranks and we chose to sit and wait to see if this information ended up being discreditted.
Well, a few weeks have gone by and nothing of the sort has happened. So let’s talk about Jyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.
The early translations show the series will feature electric ancient beasts, which spawned a LOT of conversation that this will be another Super Sentai to feature dinosaurs, like Zyuranger (pictured) and AbaRanger, a thought many felt was happening due to the overwhelming flop that Go-Busters, a high-tech/spy-like series, has been since the start of the year.
The first detailed rumors of the show have been posted over at our friends with JEFusion. We cannot confirm the validity behind any of these rumors, but they’re still fun to look at none-the-less. If they are accurate, let’s just say those hoping for dinosaurs may be disappointed…
In case these end up being accurate, we don’t want to spoil it for you. You can find the rumors by clicking the news story title. Feel free to discuss away!
