Thanks to our friends at Samurai Cast Blog, as well as Twitter user thegeekpdt, we have some new information on the upcoming Power Rangers Megaforce, which is the 20th Anniversary of all things Power Rangers.
There are a ton of pictures to look at, so please click here to check out the pictures that thegeekpdt uploaded.
The most interesting piece of information comes from a conversation with a Saban Brands representative – that past Power Rangers would return to Power Rangers Megaforce! Not to play Devil’s Advocate here, but does that mean past actors (such as Jason David Frank or Johnny Yong Bosch) or just the past physical costumed Power Rangers, which is the main ability of the theme of the second half of Megaforce which is based off Gokaiger (who transform in to past Power Rangers)?
Only time will tell! Stay tuned!

Game company Namco Bandai has released a number of images for the upcoming Power Rangers Super Samurai video game for the X-Box 360 Kinect.
The game, scheduled to release November 20th, 2012 allows the player to use the Kinect device to control the Power Rangers Samurai as well as the Samurai Megazord. The player will also practice and train with the Samurai Rangers in order to stay fit and healthy. There’s also going to be some lessons on friendship.

At New York Comic Con 2012, I had the honor and privilege to interview the Bandai of Japan Rep that works closely with their US distributor: BlueFin. Being Tamashii Nation‘s sole distributor outside of Japan, many wondered if BlueFin has became more than just a distributor for Tamashii Nation? I asked Adam these questions and more, and Adam had some very cool answers for us, please watch the video below:
The Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA Facebook page has posted a photo of 2 cosplayers as Rita Repulsa & Lord Zedd. Their caption:
[Quote]Figuarts of these 2 would be cool right? We’ll see how things go with what’s already planned![/quote]
Fire away! Do you want to see S.H. Figuarts Rita Repulsa & S.H. Figuarts Lord Zedd? Would the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers 20th Anniversary be complete without them? DISCUSS!
Tamashi Nations has uploaded a new teaser image of the next entry in the Ultra Act line, and it’s none other then Ultraman Nexus!
So far, no details regarding price or release date have been announced.
Thanks to Youtube user Wotakufighter2121 and a heads up from Tokunation member RiderSkyward we have our very first look at the DX LT-06 Tategami Rai-Oh from Tokumei Sentai Gobuster! This figure is BIG, interesting, and looks like a lot of fun. For some it may not be worth the high price tag and to others this fine toy may seem like too little too late in the Gobuster DX line. However this figure looks to be a great addition to any Gobuster collection. This video review shows off the Rai-Oh in Robo, Lion, and Bike (with Gobuster Ace) modes but does not show off it’s combining gimmicks with the other DX Buster machines.
UPDATE: Video now posted with additional combinations!
