With San Diego Comic Con right around the corner, and Bluefin Tamashii teasing the Power Rangers fan community with a slew of “hints” regarding the “Power Ranger/Sentai themed” exclusive for this year’s convention, they took to Twitter last night to answer a host of other questions, and in the process, revealed quite a bit of information that may have been lost in that of social media. Luckily, TokuNation.com has you covered.
Here are some snippets below.
@yourfriendlyandy: WANT (and the 3 others yet to come)!!! Damn you @TamashiiNations for ruining my bank account! #MMPR (image was of the 4 MMPR SH Figuarts)
TamashiiNations: @yourfriendandy 3 more eh? Our count says more than 3 for #mmpr #powerrangers
@ZeltraxMilleniu: Heck Yeah. I do have a question for the MMPR figuarts:
Will the power weapons be able to combine?
TamashiiNations: Currently not authorized to answer ;)
The above conversation was meant to say that we have yet to see official photos of the upcoming Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Black Ranger from Power Rangers and Zyuranger. We’ll say it’s a safe bet (see below) that we’ll get a Red Ranger with Dragon Armor to round that upcoming number to 4, but is there a chance we could see a villain like Goldar released as a web exclusive in Japan? Time will tell… Fans have also been curious if the weapons will combine like they did in the show. Speculation is either 1) They do, or 2) They don’t but an accessory will be sold later
@PwnStar511: Will the Yellow Ranger have a male or female body type?
@TamashiiNations: It’s a topic of discussion ;)
A lot of fans have speculated (and debated) whether the SH Figuarts Zyuranger Tigerranger/Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger should have a female body or a male body. In Zyuranger, the Yellow Ranger was male. In Power Rangers, the Yellow Ranger was female. However there was no change made to the costume (no skirt), so the fans continue their debate … a male body would be accurate to the costume, but for Power Rangers fans, it would be inaccurate to who played the character.
@ptoadstool: Is there any hope for the Gokaiger Figuarts coming over for Super Megaforce? (including the girls?)
@TamashiiNations: The answer to this will depend on something yet to be….
In other words, probably yes – we’ll end up seeing Gokaiger SH Figuarts hitting US shores in some way, shape, or form in the next year. This is not a confirmation, but an open-ended speculation.
@LinearRanger: Any chance of seeing the other Shinkenger, Dekaranger or Gosei Knight SH Figuarts in US releases?
@TamashiiNations: Yes!
Many have speculated that Gosei Knight would be released as an SDCC exclusive Robo Knight, kind of like how Female ShinkenRed was released as a NYCC exclusive last year. For those who missed out on Shinkenger and Dekaranger releases, this must be good news.
@TamashiiNations: Does the PR exclusive have some sort of armor or shield?” No…but THAT one is for something else #sdcc
Many people speculated we’d see a Red Ranger with Dragon Armor released at some point. This pretty much confirms it without officially confirming it.
Bluefin Tamashii also tweeted about a “pack” of exclusives. Something that comes in a “pack” and that foreshadows a future release of Power Rangers. Let the speculation run rampant!

Lord Zedd >< Someone ask about ZEDD!
The comment about the Dragon Armor Red Ranger not being for SDCC but for something else makes me wonder if it'll be for NYCC instead...
...Female Shinken-Red wasn't a NYCC exclusive. Some dealer bought a bunch of them in Japan alongside Joker and sold them touting them as exclusives. It was not Bluefin.
So basically we have nothin in stone, eh, but they did say we might get Gokaiger in US, well i already Green and hope to get at least the rest of the guys soon, but the girls, unless i see them cheap online, ill wait to see if we get em statseside.
Zedd was talked about a bit for Monsterarts at Morphicon as a possibility if there's enough US interest.
Also, here's hoping we see some Zeo and PRiS, since they were the top two in that poll Bluefin did a while back.
