Pre Orders will end September 17th and will ship out November 11th, the set retails for the surprisingly affordable 2,592 yen.

Mirroring what happened with the Legacy Dragonzord before it’s release, Bandai UK has just revealed brand new in hands images of the upcoming Legacy Titanus!

This whopping behemoth will retail for $200 at Toys R Us this fall, and as you can clearly see is meant to be combined with the previously released Legacy Megazord & Dragonzord to complete the Legacy Ultrazord! If you can’t tell already Titanus is huge and apparently very heavy. Be on the lookout for this bad boy on TRU shelves in the coming months!

First revealed waaaaay back in June, we finally have images to confirm the upcoming Legacy Power Rangers figures from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie!

Seen for the first time these figures are modeled on the original Power Rangers suits from the classic 1995 MMPR film. Though the movie came out at the height of Power Rangers popularity there are actually very few toys that represent the things seen in the film. The armored up designs the rangers sported are the most criminally over looked though. But rectifying their absence from a toyline for almost 20 years Bandai of America has created this new assortment of Legacy Power Rangers! The assortment will contain 6 figures 5 of which are rangers (Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, & Pink). The 6th figure which has yet to be seen is the awesome villain of the original film, Ivan Ooze!

Defying all the odds it seems the sure bet of a White Ranger has been skipped for this assortment but will no doubt be released at a later time. In any case it appears that these figures are based on the looks the rangers had in the early part of the film before losing their powers, as indicated by the origianl power coins on their chests. They appear to include their awesome personal weapons that were created for the film in lieu of their TV show counterparts as well, though only Pink Ranger is shown with hers.

For now enjoy several press images of these exciting figures courtesy of the awesome people at Rangercrew!

Kamen Rider Den-O is approaching it’s final stop with Let’s Watch Wednesdays! As we approach the end, here’s where we stand.

With the debut of Liner Form things should be headed the right direction. Wrong. It seems Ryutaros was originally sent back in time to kill Ryutaro! And the one who sent him was someone from the Imagin’s future, Kai. But Ryutaros stands with his friends, so Kai sets his sights on Yuuto! In an effort to erase Yuuto from time, Kai will send an Imagin to his past. Will he succeed? Can Kamen Rider Zeronos be erased forever? Find out now.

Den-O Trivia 14
Did you notice something familiar this week? You may not have immediately recognized them but they’re there. Notice that Kai’s right hand man in his first appearances is the Leo Imagin. Leo has 3 underlings with him, the Leo Soldiers. Take a good look at their suits. Stll don’t see it? Those are in fact 3 Zectrooper suits from Kamen Rider Kabuto!

As is often the case in tokusatsu productions costumes are rehashed, reused, and canibalized for the sake of whatever the current production is. The Zectrooper suits were no different. These rider like characters were seen in large groups in Kabuto so it seems Toei could spare 3 suits to retrofit for Den-O. With their antennae removed, bug eyes covered in gold jewels, and the armor parts of their suits painted in gold it’s not surprising most people have never noticed this.

After much teasing on Premium Bandai’s  part, the Overlord weapons that were announced to come with AC Yomotsu Heugri Arms has finally been fully revealed.

AC Yomotsu Heguri Arms does indeed come with the weapons that Overlords Redyue, Demushu, and Roshuo wielded.

Do note that one of the images Bandai put up contains a spoiler for recent events of the show, so if you haven’t been keeping up to date or watching, be weary and make the jump at you’re own risk!

under Conventions, Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

Back at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, I contacted a good, old friend of mine from my days in the Transformers community from working for a decade at our sister site TFW2005.COM. His name is Marcelo Matere, and if you are, or were, a Transformers fan then you’ve seen his work – whether it be in comic books from both Dreamwave and IDW Publishing, to official box art work for Hasbro and their Transformers product. Knowing he has tremendous skill in drawing anything robotic in nature, I commissioned from him a Power Rangers piece – the Dragonzord fighting the original Megazord. Using nothing but pictures of toys for references, he hit the project out of the park! I wasn’t the only one who was impressed – even Bandai of America was impressed with his artwork.

In case you don’t remember the original story with the actual sketch – you can find it by clicking here.

We are incredibly pleased and proud to reveal the final version of this beautiful piece of artwork colored by comic book colorist Tom Chu, who has worked on various projects for Marvel Comics, DC Comics, IDW Publishing, and Archie Comics, as well as independent comics and official products for major toy companies. You may recognize his name from our very own Talkin Toku Podcast which he co-hosts, as well as being one of our administrators here at TokuNation.com under the name Sentai Tamashii, or even on Twitter as @SoulInkChu.

I think you will agree with us that this is one of the most impressive pieces of artwork for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that we’ve ever seen. And we are beyond excited to share with you in future updates higher resolution versions of this image (minus our watermark) for use as wallpapers and other such things.

Please take a moment and follow these incredibly talented individuals and show their work some love. And, if you happen to want something awesome drawn for you or colored for you, please don’t be shy in asking them about their commission prices. I can personally guarantee that you won’t be disappointed in their work!!
