We’ve only just begun reporting our findings from London Toy Fair 2018, but unfortunately the entire Bandai Power Rangers display is currently under a photo ban. Which is pretty typical for these events and held true at last year’s London Toy Fair as well. However, someone at the show was apparently daring enough to snap at least one picture., and this is kind of  a big one. Now we have our very first look at the Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ Red & Blue Psycho Rangers!

TokuNation user thedangerranger was kind enough to share this image on our forums. From what we can gather, these figures are not in a prominent area of the Bandai UK display space. Given that they aren’t even standing up properly, it’s even possible they may have been totally overlooked. From what we can see though the sculpt looks on point for both and each appears to include their appropriate weapon as well, Red’s Psycho Sword & Blue’s Psycho Axe. When and if a better look at these figure from the event becomes available we hope to be able to share it with you!

Greetings from Toy Fair London 2018! Unfortunately, no pictures are allowed of what’s on display. However we do have a man on the inside – our very own ZeoRangerV – and he was able to give us a rundown on what exactly is on display! There are a few new items not yet seen listed below. Keep in mind – this is from Bandai UK and does not necessarily reflect anything for the United States. But this could be a good indication of what’s to come from Bandai America at the upcoming Toy Fair New York 2018.

Check out the full list of what’s on display listed below!

– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Green Ranger Helmet (1:1 scale)
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy White Ranger Helmet (1:4 scale)
– Power Rangers In Space Legacy 6.5″ Psycho Red Ranger
– Power Rangers In Space Legacy 6.5″ Psycho Blue Ranger
– Power Rangers Zeo Legacy Zeonizer
– Power Rangers Zeo Legacy Golden Power Staff
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Communicator
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Green Ranger Auto-Morphin Figure
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Blue Ranger Auto-Morphin Figure
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Black Ranger Auto-Morphin Figure
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Yellow Ranger Auto-Morphin Figure
– Power Rangers Zeo Legacy 6.5″ Red Ranger
– Power Rangers Zeo Legacy 6.5″ Blue Ranger
– Power Rangers Zeo Legacy 6.5″ Green Ranger
– Power Rangers Dino Thunder Legacy 6.5″ Black Ranger
– Power Rangers Dino Thunder Legacy 6.5″ White Ranger
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Tyrannosaurus Zord
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Sabertooth Tiger Zord
– Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Mastadon Zord
– Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel “Super Blaster” (looks like a cannon form of Lion Fire Megazord)
– Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel Simian Sniper Zord (a large black and gold ape zord that fires missiles)

The Simian Sniper Zord for Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel is a motion activated dart launcher zord. The Legacy 6.5″ Psycho Rangers have an incredible amount of detailing. These are prototypes and the paint does not appear to be metallic which ZeoRangerV says works for their benefit. They do come with weapons. Psycho Red has the Psycho Sword and Psycho Blue has the Psycho Axe.

We will make further updates if any more information, or pictures, become available!

Highly speculated since it’s announcement and confirmed today through @bboyrealm on Twitter (guest relations at Power Morphicon), the BOOM! Studios creation Lord Drakkon will be joining the Legacy 6.5″ figure collection of Power Rangers. As an exclusive to this year’s Power Morphicon, you will need to register at the show and purchase the figure separately after you’ve registered.

Lord Drakkon first appeared in the BOOM! Studios comic book series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. In an alternate reality where Tommy chose to stay with Rita Repulsa, Tommy destroyed the Power Rangers and combined the Green Ranger and White Ranger powers to become the evil Lord Drakkon! He will be featured prominently in the upcoming comic event Shattered Grid, where Power Rangers from all over time will need to come together to defeat him once and for all.

“Henshin!”

For the last 47 years, Japan & the world have been safe guarded thanks to the selfless actions of heroes known as Kamen Riders. Among their ranks, one stands above as the most iconic character the franchise has ever produced. The original Kamen Rider himself, Takeshi Hongo! After 10 years of various Kamen Rider 1 S.H. Figuarts releases, Tamashii Nations has finally released what is sure to be a centerpiece for many collections with S.H. Figuarts Takeshi Hongo! 

Joining Dan Moroboshi & Retsu Ichijoji, Hongo is the first civilian form Kamen Rider figuart to be released. Based on one of Hongo’s more iconic looks in his dashing black suit, this figure features the stunning likeness of actor Hiroshi Fujioka circa 1971. To replicate Hongo’s transformation into Kamen Rider 1, a really unique effect sheet is included, as well as several sets of hands. This release may seem a bit lite on accessories, but it’s honestly just right. Bringing to life the early days of Kamen Rider like this is just really refreshing as well. I love buying my modern riders too, but seeing the Showa era continue to receive this level of love is wonderful.

We’ve attached the full 70+ image gallery to this post, but you can also read up on our full review of Takeshi Hongo as well by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll back next time with a brand new gallery of the hotly anticipated S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1!
