A few new images from the second-quarter merchandise catalog for Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger have finally surfaced online!

Although low-res, we have shots of 4 new Cube Animals for the DX Mecha line:

*Cube Mogura which forms a drill weapon for Zyuoh King

*Cube Kuma creates another new weapon for ZyuohKing

*Cube Crocodile, the first known Mecha belonging to Zyuoh TheWorld!

*Cube Wolf another item in Zyuoh TheWorld’s arsenal. Wolf and Crocodile are said to combine with the sadly still-unrevealed Cube Rhinos to form Tousai Zyuoh, Zyuoh TheWorlds’ personal mecha.

Definitely some interesting new shapes coming down the line for the 40th Super Sentai Series!

Go galactic!

Agter some extensive coverage of this years New York Toy Fair, it’s to share a gallery with the community that we just could not wait on any longer.Power Rangers & Super Sentai collectors are no strangers to special edition repaints & limited releases. And often items in this category can become increasingly rare & expensive over time, but one release in particular is one of the most sought after pieces in Power Rangers history. Mostly because of it’s extremely limited release venue. Well today we have a rare opportunity to share with you a full gallery of the Deluxe 14K Gold Plated Galaxy Megazord! And we’ve also given it a side by side comparison with it’s closest Japenese counterpart, DX Black GingaiOh!

The Gold Galaxy Megazord was an expensive and limited release that was originally only sold at the now defunct FAO Schwartz retail chain. When these began surfacing in the early 2000’s many collectors simply didn’t believe they were real. At one time there were thought to be lass than 5 in existence as well, now that number has been proven to be closer to around 15+. Because of it’s limited nature and the authentic 14K gold used to plate it, this set has commanded high prices for years, luckily we were able to snag one for an amazing deal for this gallery.

We’ve attached a small selection of images to this post but please enjoy over 75 images of this magnificent set after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. It was an honor to be able to handle such a limited set and I hope the community enjoys getting a good look at it. I’ll be back soon with a look back at another sought after limited repaint as well, DX Black Daizyujin from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger!

We reached out to Bandai America to get a couple more clarifications or questions answered for everyone after our initial trip through the showroom. The questions (and answers) are below!

What do the new Legacy figures come with?

With the main core of the teams, it will be a Build-a-Figure type of system where each figure will come with a different piece to build a bigger figure. For the first assortment, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures will come with pieces to build a Megazord figure. Whether or not they will come with individual weapons has not been finalized yet. Sixth Rangers, such as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger figure, will come with accessories instead of a “Build-a-Figure” piece.

What is the exact size of these new Legacy figures?

The Power Rangers themselves will be 6.5″ in scale, and the figure they create will be 7.5″ in scale. They will retail for roughly $20.

The fans still want to know – are we going to get a Poisandra figure?

There is no update for a Poisandra (or Keeper) figure at this time.

At New York Comic Con it was stated that Bandai America was working to get the remaining Ranger Keys released. Nothing is displayed at Toy Fair. What is the status of those remaining keys – are they coming out, or are they cancelled?

The product manager who is in charge of Ranger Keys did not make the trip to Toy Fair so unfortunately their final status is unknown as of this posting. If we get the answer later on we will be sure to update.

If we get any more updates, we will post them up for everyone.  We did ask about a possible Talon Ranger figure, but that question was skipped by Bandai America.

We have high resolution images of all the Legacy items on display from Toy Fair 2016! Check out the following images!

  • Limited Edition Black & Gold Legacy Dragonzord
  • Legacy Falconzord
  • Legacy Communicator
  • Legacy Communicator – Green & White Edition
  • Legacy Movie Morphers (Red, Pink, Blue)
  • Legacy Blade Blaster

Photography was not allowed for possibly the biggest reveal of the event – brand new Legacy figures! These will be 6 inches in scale (so on par with your S.H. Figuarts characters), feature extensive articulation, detailed paint applications, and will release later this year! They will release three assortments (waves) a year, and each year will feature two seasons worth. The first year’s releases will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Ninja Storm. When we asked why those two, they stated Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is too iconic not to use, and Power Rangers Ninja Storm has to have a good reason (with a wink … for those who don’t get the reference, the next series is Power Rangers Ninja Steel).

The figures will also come with a “Build a Figure” type of accessory, allowing you to create the Megazord for that respective season. Shown at the show was the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Megazord – and it looks INCREDIBLE! As does the Legacy Mighty Morphin Green Ranger figure! The first assortment releasing this summer will contain Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Ninja Storm Red Ranger, Ninja Storm Blue Ranger, Ninja Storm Yellow Ranger, and another figure from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (unknown which color at this time).

Check out all the images after the jump!

Our own Sentai Tamashii is at Toy Fair 2016 and spent some time with Bandai America. Here are some snippets of information while we await on pictures!

  • The Ninja Megazord on display was NOT the Legacy Ninja Megazord – it was the original toy, simply there as a placeholder.
  • Will retail between $80-$90
  • Legacy Figures – appear to be 6″ tall, more detail, not “powerful Rangers” style but still American muscle style
  • Female Legacy Figures have slits in skirts to allow figures’ legs to move
  • Each Legacy Figure will have a “build a figure” piece to build that season’s Megazord
  • 6th Rangers in the Legacy line will have more accessories instead of a “build a figure” piece
  • There will be 3 assortments released in a year, with 2 seasons per year
  • First year will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Ninja Storm – thanks Ninja Steel influence!
  • Assortment 1 will be Ninja Storm Red, Blue, and Yellow, Mighty Morphin Red, Green and one other figure
  • Ninja Coins when?  Bandai America doesn’t want to let collectors down – still many more shows to reveal things at this year
  • Currently no other focus other than mainline toys and Legacy toys (sorry Ranger Key fans!)
  • Bandai America cannot discuss anything Movie 2017 related at this time.
  • Future Legacy release?  “All in due time” … stay tuned, still three big conventions this year (SDCC, NYCC, PMC)
  • Bandai committed to not letting girl fans down – there will be plenty of female oriented items released

Stay tuned for high res pictures from the event!

For those of you who collect vinyl figures, or specifically the action vinyl figures from The Loyal Subjects, will be pleased to know that a recent listing at online retailer EntertainmentEarth.com has popped up for a Series 2 set of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures to release this coming August.

For those who don’t know – The Loyal Subjects released action vinyl figures from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers last year that blew up in popularity, with the rare figures going for well over $100 at times. Since their release, metallic and crystal versions of the figures have been released at San Diego Comic Con 2015 as well as Hastings stores. What will we see in Series 2? Some assume we’ll get vinyl figures of Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Bulk, Skull, Alpha 5, and possibly more. With Toy Fair 2016 happening this weekend, we may get our first look – or at least a hint!

Stay tuned to our coverage of Toy Fair 2016 this coming weekend.
