Thanks to some fresh scans floating around from this month’s Figure Oh we have release information on a selection of new S.H. Figuarts, but more on that in a minute. In the mean time this issue has just confirmed official release information for Soul of Chogokin GX-85 King Brachion! This figure was just revealed to be in the works at this weekend’s Power Morphicon 2018 under it’s western release as Soul of Chogokin Titanus.

Figure Oh confirms that King Brachion is headed for a February 2019 release at 29,160 yen. Which seems to be a bit under most people’s expectations on price. Brachion also appears to be a general retail release, likely because of it’s western distribution as Titanus. With these confirmations we can expect official images of the figure to be released in the new future. When they are, we’ll be sure to update our ongoing discussion thread.

We’re back, with even more photos of today’s biggest announcement from Power Morphicon 2018. The Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin White Ranger! Which has absolutely been the talk of the con since it’s debut.

Our very own @TokuChris has been struggling to get a signal to send us photos and videos. But it seems he’s finally found the sweet spot of the convention center to get us a new smattering of up close looks at the Lighting Collection White Ranger! We’ll be back a bit later one with super hi-res shots of this display prototype, as well as a massive gallery of all the props, helmets, and full ranger suits on display at Power Morphicon 2018!

“It’s Morphin’ Time!

Announced at Hasbro’s Power Morphicon panel earlier today, the new Lightning Collection is already shaping up to be a fantastic replacement for Bandai’s now defunct Legacy 6.5″ line of figures. This amazing new line of 6″ scale, show accurate, accessorized, and affordable ($19.99) figures is a welcome addition for collectors worldwide.

Via the official Power Rangers Twitter account, we also now have access to the video shown announcing the line at said panel. This video breakdown gives us a look at the entire construction and production process of the prototype seen at the Con today. Which was then displayed publicly by Hasbro after the show.

Our old friend @JmannDX has provided us with some new higher-res shots of the Lightning Collection White Ranger as well, attached to the story after the jump. For now, see the video above for a fantastic first look at this line and what we can hope for in the future!

“You have no idea who you’re dealing with, do you?”

As the remaining Psycho Rangers continue their reign of terror, the Power Rangers have hatched a plan to beat them. But there’s an unforeseen complication when a previously unknown 6th Psycho Ranger makes his debut on the battlefield! Though he’s here to take the Power Rangers for himself, this Psycho Silver doesn’t seem to be who he claims to be….

Following up from our look at the SDCC Legacy Psycho Green Ranger, today we take a look at the simultaneously released Entertainment Earth Exclusive Legacy Psycho Silver Ranger! Psycho Silver may not be a real Psycho Ranger, but this figure will be a really great addition to your collection. If your like me and Psycho Ranger figures make you weak in the knees, it’s a must have. Armed with his Psycho Silverizer, Zhane is ready to battle it out with the best of the In Space & Psycho Rangers.

“Dragon in Cross-Z Charge!”

Having finally discovered his reason to fight, Ryuga Banjou took on the most dangerous driver to face the Hokuto Three. Using the Sclash Driver Banjou’s already tremendous strength overflowed from his new rampaging form. Fueled by the Dragon Sclash Jelly, Banjou’s power finally runs wild in our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge! 

Following up from our gallery of the standard Kamen Rider Cross-Z last month, Cross-Z Charge is an entirely new mold. Decked out in a really gorgeous silver paint scheme, this figure is also adorned by some frankly perfect translucent blue plastic. An already excellent looking figure in hand, Cross-Z Charge also includes his Twin Breaker weapon, capable of changing from Beam to Attack Mode very easily. The re-packed Cross-Z Dragon and Dragon Full Bottle as well as a removable Sclash Jelly, all of which can interact with the Twin Breaker, also make this a really fantastic release.

Check out the complete 65 image gallery of Cross-Z Charge after the jump by clicking “Discss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’re bringing another SDCC 2018 Exclusive gallery your way next!

Hasbro recently held it’s latest Investor’s Report and of course a big focus going forward will be their recently acquired Power Rangers brand. As stated by CEO Brian Goldner:

Hasbro’s licensing plans for Power Rangers will resemble the playbook used for Transformers and My Little Pony, featuring a “very robust” line of products “coming from a number of different partners,”

Of specific note to the Power Rangers brand though, is this line in the report:

Power Rangers’ will generate an operating profit similar to Hasbro’s other franchise brands and has a “significant opportunity for growth given where the brand had been most recently,” Goldner said. Hasbro will work with a film studio to develop a new Power Rangers movie as a follow-up to the 2017 release.

Now, this certainly seems to be worded to imply that an actual sequel to the 2017 film is in the works. While that certainly could be the case as a kind “soft reboot” Brian Goldner’s statement is just vague enough to imply it could be a film that is a follow up in franchise terms rather than a narrative one. What are your thoughts on this matter? Could we actually be seeing a direct sequel with the same designs and cast? What would that mean for the distribution rights held by Lionsgate and other parties from the last film? We’ll be keeping tabs on this as it develops, and we’ll be sure to keep you up to date as it does!
