Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, two shows that will forever be remembered in the tokusatsu community. One for the innovation and originality it brought to a well established franchise, and the other for it’s meteoric start to one of the most popular children’s entertainment franchises in western media. Both of these beloved shows continue to receive attention as Power Rangers reaches it’s 20th Anniversary, and the Zyurangers are set to appear in the Kyoryuger VS. Go-Busters film!

Of course Bandai can’t resist making dreams come true for fans of both of these franchises. So today we take a look at their latest release with an extensive gallery of S.H. Figuarts Ptera Ranger or as we also know her the Mighty Morphin’ Pink Ranger! Ptera comes with her Ranger Slinger, Ranger Stick, Ptera Bow & Arrow, and 3 extra sets of hands.

This exquisite figure captures the essence of the 3 amazing women to don the costume in both franchises. Be sure to follow Reiko Chiba/Mei[/URL] & Amy Jo Johnson/Kimberly[/URL] on twitter, and Catherine Sutherland/Kat[/URL] on facebook!

A few new Power Rangers books have been listed on Amazon! One is due out later this month, with the others due out between now and May 2014. The books are:

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #1: Rita Repulsa’s Attitude Adjustment

When an ancient stone idol comes to life and starts blasting everything in its path with a morphing ray, it looks like the world is in pretty deep trouble; but it’s nothing compared to the havoc unleashed when Rita Repulsa gets her hands on it! The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers join the fray, but this new baddie has extra muscle from Squatt and the Putty Patrol. If the team doesn’t get a little help of their own from a trusted friend, this latest mission may be their last!

Twenty years ago, the Power Rangers burst on the scene in an explosion of colorful combat, bizarre monsters, incredible robot battles, and Megazord-sized fun, spawning a global phenomenon and an ever-expanding storytelling universe. Papercutz is proud to present the long-awaited continuing adventures of the team that started it all!

Do you like Tokunation’s big month of galleries in honor of Power Rangers Wild Force? Well it’s about to get bigger with the BIG DX Gao Lion from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!

This enlarged version of Gao Lion appeared in Quest 43 when the Gaorangers were trapped in the Org Spirit Realm. Tetom desired the chance to cook for them one last time, and put all her hopes and prayers into a final treat which she gave to Gaolion. It’s energies allowed him to grow to massive proportions, large enough that along with Gao Falcon Shark Tiger & Elephant they became the great hero, Gao Centaurus!

This beastly combo was also used to defeat the third Highness Duke Org and appears very briefly in the Go-Busters Vs. Gokaiger movie. It’s one of the alternate Mecha Gokai Changes used by Go-Buster Li-Oh. As you can see the toy itself dwarfs the original figure and it’s slightly larger than the Gokaiger version of Gaolion which came out 15 years later.

Our photo staff is at it again, this time a new gallery coming from photo and content staffer conundrum!

The ‘Armored Might’ subline of Bandai of America’s Power Rangers toy line continues with two new releases for Fall 2013, including a Power Rangers 20 figure, the White Mighty Morphin’ Ranger.

The White Ranger stands at approximately 7 inches tall and has a fairly impressive 29 points of articulation. The figure features removable chest armor, gauntlets, arm bands, and boot cuffs. It also includes two pairs of interchangeable hands and a well sculpted Saba sword. White Ranger shares the same body sculpt as the previously released Mighty Morphin’ Red Ranger and is able to wear/wield its accessories.

While this Armored Might White Ranger figure is no S.H. Figuarts Kiba Ranger,[/URL] it’s still a very solid figure.

To see all the images of this incredible figure from our gallery, please click here!

A press release from Saban Brands has hit the Internet today and, like last year, has informed us that the new Power Rangers Super Megaforce heroes will be making their debut at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The information, with thanks to Fury Diamond and his blog Samuraicast Blog, reads as follows:

The Power Rangers Super Megaforce are making their MEGA debut at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Saving the world from evil, this iconic team of superheroes calls on legendary Power Rangers from the past and the future.
