Once again the international airings for Power Rangers Dino Charge have passed the American market and revealed a new member of the Dino Charge team!
Episodes 12 and 13 of Dino Charge were shown today in France, and the Graphite Ranger’s secret identity (first revealed by the action figure bio) made a surprise appearance!
We will keep spoilers off the front page out of respect for fans who wish to follow the Nickelodeon airings. But if you wish to know the truth, feel free to join our Ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts about the seventh Dino Charge Ranger!
For those that might not be able to afford DX roleplay weapons or lack the space, Bandai’s revealed the perfect alternative with the recent surprise reveal of of the High Proportion Series which will be making miniature scale replicas of weapons and changers from Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.
The Gashapon series will be released sometime in December, wave 1 for the Kamen Rider side will have Blade’s Blay Rouzer, both Gaim’s and Zangetsu’s version of the Musou Saber, and Kamen Rider Ghost’s Gangan Saber(solicited, though no photo) The weapons will measure around 150mm.
For Sentai, we have the Dino Buckler/Power Morpher, and Zyusouken/Dragon Dagger of Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin, with the Dragon Dagger having it’s own display stand. The Dragon Dagger itself measures at 150 mm though no current word on price.
Wasshoi!
At long last TokuNation is fired up to present this latest gallery! A recent Bandai Premium release from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, today we take an extensive look at the Super Sentai Artisan Chogokin Shinobimaru!
Chogokin Shinobimaru is Bandai Premium’s first entirely new figure for Ninninger, soon to be followed up by Rodeomaru & Chouzetsu Akaninger. More than a simple DX with metal parts like last years’ Chogokin ToQ Oh, Shinobimaru is an entirely new super articulated diecast infused action figure meant to replace the DX that came with Shurikenjin. While it may be lacking a bit in the accessories department (a small shoulder mounted Akaninger) it more than makes up for this with excellent articulation, strong QC, and just the perfect amount of metal to give this little guy some heft.
Make no mistake when we say extensive either, we’ve put together 70 images of Super Sentai Artisan Chogokin Shinobimaru for your viewing pleasure! We’ve even included a comparison between Shinobimaru and the classic release Soul of Chogokin Battle Fever Robo, the predecessor to all modern Sentai Chogokins. Attached to this post are just a small selection of the images, to view them all click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
A few more magazine scans have surfaced online, showing an early teamup between Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Ghost!
Kamen Rider Drive’s story will apparently conclude in Episode 47, but the final episode (title unknown at time of writing) will feature Shinnosuke finding a strange new device-the Newton Eyecon!
Locating the Eyecon brings Drive to Ghosts’ attention, while triggering a battle between the Ganma and the last surviving Roimudes.
This special crossover will air on September 27, 2015! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

In the 10th episode of the season, “The Royal Rangers”, the team comes under attack by the Ptera Charge Megazord controlled by Fury! The team is easily over-powered and they have one last hope to turn the tide of battle – the experimental Dino Drive Chargers! Later, the team discovers one of the jewels from the treasures of Zandar at the museum is glowing gold … could it be the Gold Energem!? To lure Fury to them so they can take back the Gold Ptera Charger, Tyler and Shelby take on the role of Prince and Princess of Zandar! But will it work?
Tune in this Saturday on Nickelodeon to see! Check out the production image attached to this story courtesy of Saban Brands! And check out the promo clip below!
It was twenty-two years ago today that an evil space sorceress by the name of Rita Repulsa escaped her space-garbage-can prison with the goal of conquering the Earth. An intergalactic being known as Zordon, along with his robotic assistant Alpha 5, selected five teenagers with attitude to take upon the ancient power of the dinosaurs to become the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. For twenty-two years different teenagers (and adults) have taken the mantle of power to save the city, to save the Earth, to save the galaxy – even to save time itself!
We’ve had evil villains from space, space pirates, an entire United Alliance of Evil, a Machine Empire, evil demons from a place that was obviously Hell but you can’t say that on a kids program, space insects (a couple of times!), a computer virus that conquered the world, a scientist obsessed with dinosaurs, an evil ninja, space cats (…yup), an entire Armada, and an evil bounty hunter. We’ve had mentors that rhymed, sang, once drove race cars but became paleontologists because television, a ninja hamster, created a robot son because that’s not creepy, an introvert genius, a samurai mentor, a head on a wall, a dog, and now a creepy little alien that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. We’ve had a kid Power Ranger, we’ve had a Power Ranger die (but come back to life because kids television), we’ve had a tragic story of a knight who lost his son and the grief kept him alive, we’ve had a mother/father/son team of Power Rangers, and we’ve seen a team go SUPER MEGA (you knew that was coming).
We’ve had the original creations of the Titanium Ranger and the Spirit Rangers and we’ve had BLITZ NEW POWERS!. We’ve had great music selections and we’ve had some questionable theme songs. But in the end, we’ve had 22 years of heroes and that’s a feat that is pretty dang impressive on to itself.
Happy Birthday, Power Rangers. Please enjoy this montage of opening sequences from the last 22 years brought to you by the folks of RangerCrew.
Last week Bandai was kind enough to give us a taste of what was to come for S.H. Figuarts Fire, the leader of the Metal Hero team Tokkei Winspector. And today they’ve finally seen fit to release a full selection of official images for this upcoming figure!
As speculated and confirmed by this images Fire includes his Maxcalibur arm blade as well as his Daytric M2 handgun in both pistol form & baton/holster form, as well as 3 sets of hands and features a movable visor! This figure is currently set to be the first Metal hero figuart ever released at normal retail, rather than being a Web Exclusive.
S.H. Figuarts Fire will retail for 6480 yen and will be released in January. Expect pre-orders for this figure to hit major online retailers September 1st!
Here we go! Today the casting sides for the upcoming Power Rangers 2017 Movie were released online. What is a casting side you ask? Well, it’s basically a bunch of lines for actors to read off or to get in to character while auditioning for the role of the character they’re trying out for. Casting sides are not always a guarantee – the casting sides for Power Rangers Megaforce were different than what we ended up with.
Now obviously – there’s potential major spoilers. Below is a screen shot of the casting side with the details blurred out. These casting sides potentially give us the first details on the story (how similar is it to the “leaked” story from a month or so ago?), as well as more details on some of the character bios that were leaked not too long ago (Kimberly being absent from school for six months is explained, as well as part of Billy’s reasoning for being such an introvert). If you’d like to see the casting sides, you may do so courtesy of our friends at MorphinLegacy.com, our friends at RangerBoard.com, as well as the folks of RangerCrew.com.
