Toy Fair 2014 is winding down to a close. With that, there was a lot of news coming out from not only our coverage of Power Rangers, but also our friends Fury Diamond of SamuraiCast Blog and @trekkieb47 on Twitter. This news post should work as a comprehensive listing of all the news that came out for Power Rangers over the last couple of days. Enjoy!
– TokuNation.com’s Booth Coverage of Bandai of America
TokuNation.com was the first in the WORLD to bring you all the brand new images and news regarding a lot of the new Power Rangers merchandise coming out later this year. Fans salivated at the first images of the all new toy Legacy Titanus, geared towards collectors and, of course, able to combine with the Legacy Megazord and Legacy Dragonzord. We also caught glimpse of, arguably, one of the most anticipated figures out of the Super Megaforce toy line – the Armored Might Silver Ranger figure, which uses the Gold Mode Armor version of the figure. The official name of that mode for Power Rangers has yet to be revealed (though staff here has money on it being called “Super Mega Mode” or “Legendary Mode”). We also saw the upcoming 5″ Legacy Power Rangers figures, including some surprises – Titanium Ranger, Lunar Wolf Ranger, and Gold Zeo Ranger. If you haven’t already, click here and check out all 150+ images that we took of the Bandai booth!
Our good friend Fury Diamond of Samurai Cast Blog was also in attendance and took a video of his booth tour from that day. You’ve seen the pictures, now see what a booth tour is actually like!
– TokuNation.com’s Booth Coverage of Megabloks Power Rangers
Aside from Bandai of America, the other big showing for Power Rangers was Megabloks, showing off their latest and upcoming assortments for their Power Rangers Super Megaforce line. In our gallery we saw on-hand images of the Legendary Megazord, the Q-Rex Megazord, the individual zords that make up the Legendary Megazord (including an impressive looking Sky Ship build), as well as seeing some Legendary Power Rangers make their debut in the Megabloks line. Click here to see our Megabloks Power Rangers gallery!
Once again, our good friend Fury Diamond was also in attendance and took video of his time at Megabloks. If videos are more your thing, you’ll enjoy the video below! Check it out!
Finally, on Monday Bandai of America held a Collector’s Event. While your only way to see the booth prior was through scheduled appointments, the Collector’s Event allowed larger groups of individuals to take the same tour in a group, getting their chance to see first-hand the same images that we’ve shown you earlier in the news post. Our good friend and host of the Power Rangers podcast RangerCommandPH, Eric, @RangerCommandPH on Twitter, took video of his experience. Check it out below!
Last but not least, the company Loyal Subjects has some Mighty Morphin Power Rangers themed items coming out soon. Check out the previews of their upcoming items by clicking here to see our gallery!
And as for the text-based side of the news, our own Sentai Tamashii learned a few tidbits about this year’s Power Rangers selection as well as the future of things like Legacy Items, Tokumei Sentai GoBusters, and Fury Diamond was able to get some detailed answers as well! They are listed below for you!
– Legacy items will continue in 2015 and be brand new items
– Legacy Titanus will retail for $200 (confirmed by Fury Diamond, reported long ago by raz)
– Tokumei Sentai GoBusters was skipped in favor of adapting Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger due to an overall lack of profitability of the GoBusters line in Japan
– There are only 60 Ranger Keys planned for retail release in Power Rangers Super Megaforce (Fury Diamond)
– Additional Ranger Keys can and most likely will be offered through future conventions (San Diego Comic Con, Power Morphicon)
That should just about do it! We need to give out some very special thanks to individuals who gave up a lot of free time to attend Toy Fair 2014 and provide you with all the news and information above. For starters, special thanks as always to our network administrators Tony_Bacala and Joe Moore, and HissTank.com administrator DESTRO. A special shout out to our very own Sentai Tamashii for giving up some family time to head to the show to help cover for not only us, but our sister site ToyArk.com as well. We’d also like to thank Fury Diamond of Samurai Cast Blog as well as Eric of the @RangerCommandPH podcast for the hard work and money they spent to be able to cover the show.
So are you ready for some new Power Rangers? Join our discussion already well-in-progress!
Toy Fair 2014 - Bandai Power Rangers
Why is Titanus there? Are they redoing him? How much?
Armoured Might Silver Ranger? Touché BoA.
Also, goddamn legacy Titanus. That means I definitely have to buy the other 2
I do not see a finished and painted version of that 2ft Megazord they kept showing off at conventions. That can't be a good sign....
I am digging all the Red Ranger figures and Titanus though!
Legacy Titanus confirmed. Nice!
I really like the apparent packaging for those Red Rangers. Never thought we'd see the old triangle boxes again.
The silver ranger's trident looks so small but still look cool.
They variety in that 5" action figure line is pretty impressive. Makes it all the more disappointing that they are totally isolated scale-wise. I'm just not buying into another scale. If they were 4", I would buy. If they were Figuarts compatible, I would buy. But they're not really completing teams or anything here and they don't fit in with anything else, so I regretfully pass.
Titanus looks awesome. The Dragonzord staff formation looks a little big to me, but overall, the Legacy line looks great.
I don't know what those triangular-shaped packages are for, but they totally appeal to my sense of nostalgia. I only wish they were putting something in them that I couldn't resist buying. I just don't need another white and red ranger in some random scale. It would have been cooler if they re-did or made some new figures in the same style of the original 8" line. Some of them fetch absurd prices these days, so some re-releases or new releases would have been great.
The Legacy Titanus looks fantastic.
All those five-inch figures look awesome. If I were to choose which ones I would get, I would get Red Alien, Titanium Ranger, Quantum Ranger, and especially Red Lost Galaxy Ranger since it didn't get released last year for the four-inch line.
Oh man Furaimaru does not look good at all.
Fortunately all of my attention's on the Dragonzord and Titanus, both of which are looking awesome, and the latter particularly beautiful.
