Our site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com fired off an update earlier today letting everyone know they have the previously released yet incredibly hard to find Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Megazord available for pre-order. The price is higher than it was at retail – but they do state that these were acquired from an aftermarket seller and not through actual distribution channels. That means that they paid a higher price to get these items, and thus, have to charge a higher price when selling them.

With the Legacy Dragonzord arriving in the next month or so, the prices for your Legacy Megazords are going to continue to go up – it’s hard to find one on eBay for anything less than $150 at the moment. So why not check out BigBadToyStore.com and order yourself both the Legacy Megazord and Legacy Dragonzord and just save yourself the hassel?

When Kamen Rider Gaim uses his Kachidoki Lock Seed to power up using Kachidoki Arms, he’s given the powerful new weapon known as the DJ Gun! This new form and new weapon is going to premiere sooner than you think on the show, and thanks to the Shinkiba Channel on YouTube, we can bring you this video demonstration of the gun’s features and sound effects. Check it out!

While many collectors have purchased the Lock Seeds, the weapon assortment doesn’t seem to get as much love. Let’s hear from some of you who are collecting the ENTIRE line of Kamen Rider Gaim merchandise. Are you excited for this item? You have to admit … the turntable looking bit on the side is pretty sweet. Click the discussion link and sound off!

Not content with making their listeners wait another month for an episode, Kickback and Den-O pushed forward through busy schedules and an absent Sentai Tamashii to record an episode of Talkin Toku – The TokuNation Podcast! But how do you fill the void of Sentai Tamashii? You bring in popular Power Rangers fan and enthusiast Eric (@trekkieb47 on Twitter, host of the @RangerCommandPH podcast) to talk some toku! The hilarity started early, it was constant, and never really went away. We can’t really stress just how much we laughed making this episode and all the pieces that went in to it.

Join hosts Chris, Jordan, and Eric as they discuss conventions – LexCon, San Diego Comic Con, and Power Morphicon – and some of the celebrities that they’ve run in to outside of the typical convention atmosphere. The conversation quickly changes to Tasting the Trainbow with recent developments on Ressha Sentai ToQGer, discussing what we like and do not like about the show thus far. Things go from happy rainbows to facepalms as the crew dips down in to the depths of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, focusing on the episode “A Lion’s Alliance”, and pretty much lose their focus and composure as they discuss all the things wrong with the show. An attempt at Kamen Rider Gaim discussion is made, but Power Rangers Super Megaforce sneaks back in as soon as someone mentions the phrase “new powers”.

And you can’t forget – the new catcphase “you got berryd” – takes over the group throughout the episode. Please be sure to ”Like” TokuNation on Facebook and to follow us @TokuNation on Twitter. And for the diehard fans of our podcast, you can ”Like” our official Talkin Toku Facebook Page as well as following us @TalkinToku on Twitter where you can talk to us directly on Twitter. Check out our good pal Eric on Twitter @trekkieb47, and be sure to follow the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast on Twitter @RangerCommandPH, and of course, listen to their show every other Saturday at the Four Eyed Radio Network by simply clicking here!

On the heels of this year’s LexCon, arguably the most popular Power Ranger of all time, Jason David Frank who played the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Red Ranger in both Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, as well as the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, has released the second episode of his self-created reality show titled My Morphin Life.  The video is below.

This episode features what many of us have come to known as convention burnout and convention hangover, where the crowds and the excitement literally drain every bit of energy from your body.  Follow Jason David Frank as he attempts to survive LexCon 2013.  This video features interviews with other former Power Rangers about Jason David Frank, including Walter Jones, Blake Foster (who is credited as his character’s name instead of his actual name), Catherine Sutherland, Karan Ashley, and the always lovable Jason Narvy.  Click on the discussion link to share your thoughts about the episode!

Numerous reports have come in just in the last 2 weeks that Godzilla 2014 toys are finally hitting store shelves ahead of the films May 16th release date. As it happens I wound up being one of the lucky people to stumble across an Atomic Roar Godzilla today!

This figure of course features the iconic roar and Atomic Breath of the king of monsters. Though it may seem like a simple figure at first glance, it does a great job of conveying the detail of this new iteration of Godzilla. And honestly it’s a great and affordable representation of the character. For it’s price point it’s definitely worth a look.

Check out the entire gallery of the figure, and a short video of it’s electronic feature, by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!
