Bandai’s popular line of Converge chibi-style figurines will be expanding into the Kamen Rider series! Until recently, the line mostly covered chibified designs from the Gundam franchise.

Kamen Rider Converge’s first outing will include:

Kamen Rider Kuuga Mighty Form

The Grongi Go-Gadoru-Ba

Kamen Rider Faiz

Kamen Rider Kaixa

and finally: The Arch Orphenoch.

These beautifully detailed figurines will see release sometime in February 2016 and  grabbing them as singles should cost you 500 yen per one figure.

In what seems to be a continuing trend, an upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge item unseen till now has been found! With special thanks to tavionjackson from our friends over at Rangerboard.com, this special pack looks to be exclusive to Toys’R’Us and will feature 27 of the current Dino Chargers but in their metallic foil inserts as opposed to the non-foil that have been out and circulating for nearly a year.

Be sure to check out the original auction by clicking here! What do you think? Is this something you’ll buy? Or do you prefer two Chargers at a time with a dino buddy to display? Sound off in discussion!

A brief teaser for the next episode of Power Rangers Dino Charge has been posted online! This is a special Halloween presentation and may not follow the normal continuity of the series.

Bat Monster kidnaps a costumed Ranger teen from a Halloween Party and extracts memories that will allow her to impersonate them. Kendall must ask the teens test questions to identify the imposter before all of the Energems are stolen.

“Ghostest With The Mostest” airs Saturday. October 17 on Nickelodeon! And for those who are unable to watch this week, the special will re-air on Saturday, October 31st!

Some disappointing news from Shout! Factory-

The release date for Power Rangers Time Force– The Complete Series has been pushed back; originally set for December 15 2015 the boxset will now be released in stores on February 9 2016.

Furthermore, Shout! has confirmed that this Time Force set will contain the edited episode footage; the originally-aired material from Time Force’s initial run has unfortunately been destroyed.

The 5-disc Time Force set is still available for preorder at the very reasonable price of 16.97 USD!

It’s time for another week of Megazord Madness! Round 2 is now open allowing the next round of votes to occur as well as offering you up more coupons for your Power Rangers Dino Charge purchasing needs! Click here or visit www.MegazordMadness.com to vote! It should be important to note – there was a voting discrepancy on some of the match-ups in the first round. As we enter the second round, nearly all the questionable match-ups (we’re talking votes of 12,000 to 1,200) were apparently wiped or reversed, and the apparent loser became the winner. To sum it up – nearly all the Tommy Oliver zords (Dragonzord, White Tigerzord, Falconzord, White Shogun Zord, Brachio Zord) that were losing by astronomical numbers ended up as winners and are in the second round.

We reported this via our @TokuNation Twitter account yesterday, but we are also making a front page post at the behest of our friends at Bandai America who want to make sure that this information gets out to everyone as there was a lot of concern over the original details.

Regarding the Legacy Thunder Megazord: The individual zords that make up the Thunder Megazord will indeed combine with each other to form the classic attack sled just like the original release 20 years ago. The information before was uncertain but Bandai America is now confirming that the attack sled can indeed be formed by the individual zords.

Regarding the Legacy Falconzord: The original price listed in Toys’R’Us computers showed a suggested retail of $79.99. Many fans were upset as the Legacy Falconzord by itself does very little – it’s a bird that doesn’t turn in to anything and only acts as an attachment for the Ninja Megazord and the Shogun Megazord, which currently have not been announced as upcoming Legacy items but teased as such by Bandai America at NYCC 2015. Towards the end of the show, Bandai America reached out to us to confirm that the price of the Legacy Falconzord will be $59.99. This is great news for a lot of us as we believed the original price of $80 was too high.

A very special thanks to Greg Mitchell from Bandai America for the follow up on these questions. Please stay tuned as there’s a lot of great things coming from Bandai America for fans of both the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as well as fans of Power Rangers Dino Charge!

Our very own Sentai Tamashii is attending New York Comic Con 2015 and had some time to sit down with Greg Mitchell from Bandai America. We had asked on our @TokuNation Twitter account for some of the questions you guys had for Bandai America, as well as some of our own.

We asked around 12 questions and got answers for pretty much all of them!  More Ranger Keys … we remind them which ones not to forget (and it looks like they almost did!).  A 5″ Talon Ranger figure?  Why does the Legacy line continue to rise in price – especially that $80 Falonzord?  And does the Legacy Thunder Megazord have that attack sled formation?  We got the answers!  Click on “Read More” to read our Q&A!
