As Kamen Rider Zi-O marches on through time and space, more Legends of the Kamen Rider franchise are joining the series’ toyline! Bandai B-Boys has just updated their site this week with official images and release information for two more of these Legends joining the Rider Kicks Figures Legends line:

RKF Legend Rider Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard

RKF Legend Rider Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma

The popular mobile game Power Rangers Legacy Wars was released almost 2 years ago to quite a bit of excitement from fans. nWay games really struck a chord with fans of the franchise in creating the beat ’em up fighting game. However the game being limited to mobile has been the source of complaint from some fans. Now it looks as though nWay is about to take the game, or at least some version of it, to a wider market.

A trailer has appeared online (featuring Jason David Frank) showcasing what appears to be a new console & PC port of the game called Power Rangers Battle For the Grid. While nWay Games has yet to publicly reveal the game themselves, or even comment on the veracity of the trailer, it certainly looks like we’re about to get a console & PC port of the popular fighter. The game is reportedly set for an April 2019 release. Let us know what you think in the thread below!

Shout! Factory has announced an upcoming steelbook DVD release of the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
