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!

Here are some images of the Power Rangers Dino Charge figures on display. Unfortunately, there was no new product revealed at NYCC 2015 this year. The diorama on display looks identical to the one seen at SDCC 2015. What was shown is as follows:

– Dino Charge Megazord
– Ptera Charge Megazord
– 5″ Figures (villain waves)

So while it’s not Poisandra or Dino Super Charge, either way it is still awesome to look at, so check out all the images after the jump!

This year’s special contest brought to us by the crew at Bandai America is known as Megazord Madness, pitting some of your favorite Zords and Megazords against each other, much like last year’s Morphin Madness contest. The prize pack this year is a little different – five grand prize winners will win special packages valued at $500 of various Power Rangers toy line items – like Legacy, Dino Charge, and Dino Super Charge toys and roleplay items!

Check out the official video below!

Begin voting today at www.MegazordMadness.com today! You can vote once a day and enter to win one of the grand prizes! Special note … there are some inconsistencies on the voting akin to last year’s famous hacking that led to vote reversals. We reached out to Bandai America regarding some of these discrepancies (once again it would appear that anything relating to Jason David Frank‘s characters are losing by THOUSANDS of votes, while other votes barely have two thousand votes total) and received a response that they are aware of the situation.

It’s the return of brand new episodes for Power Rangers Dino Charge! After taking a week off so kids could go outside and play (or go back to surfing the Internet without interruption), a new episode, “Sync or Swim”, will air on Nickelodeon tomorrow (Saturday, October 3rd).

Once the episode airs, be sure to vote on the episode and join in our discussion! Also check out two production-still images from the episode below with the official 800th episode logo!

It’s time for another gallery of the popular Power Rangers Dino Charge toy line, and this time we’re looking at one of the villain figures from the latest assortment currently available at retail – the villain known as Ice Age! We first saw this villain as he attacked our heroes Tyler and Shelby, and there’s a good chance we’re going to see him again!

While the figure doesn’t include any accessories, it makes up for the lack in that department with good articulation and, as has been par with the villain figures, an excellent sculpting job on the figure. To see 20 high resolution images as well as our full review of the figure, simply click here or click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” link at the end of the news article!

Have you found the new villain figures yet? If so – did you pick up Ice Age? What are your thoughts? Share your feelings in our discussion thread!

It’s the beginning of the end for the Talkin Toku Podcast. With only two episodes left before the grand finale episode (32), join Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom for an epic nearly-2-hour-long discussion on all things tokusatsu.

Enjoy exciting new segments like Words of Wisdom from Tom, Jordan Recommends, and This Week in Toku In-Show Music with Chris. Enjoy a brand new sponsor – The Rita – and ask yourself why the hell you decided to download this podcast in the first place.

The meat of the subjects? Bullying in the tokusatsu fandom. We read off your responses on Twitter as well as share our own stories. We also discuss the continued trend of our childhood heroes starting Kickstarters/IndieGoGo’s and our feelings towards all of that.

We discuss what’s new on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, how amazing Power Rangers Dino Charge continues to be (with a side topic of whether or not it’s amazing because of how bad the previous years have sucked), and our thoughts on Kamen Rider Drive. We also made predictions for episode 47 – find out who was right and who was wrong!

All the details you need are below! Special thanks to our pal Trekkieb47 from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast for his help in one of our segments.

In celebration of the final upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Drive, we were able to find someone’s encoding of the music video for the very popular (and well done) song “Spinning Wheel”. Make sure you watch all the way to through the end of the video for the full tug on your heart strings, especially if you’ve been keeping up with the show.

Just when you thought it was safe to pull your wallet out, Bandai America slaps you across the face with a resounding “NO” and proceeds to take everything out of your wallet. Scooped tonight by our great friends at MorphinLegacy.com, a Toys’R’Us employee sent them some pictures of the database with the information in hand.

Are you ready for more Legacy toys? Sound off in discussion! Thanks again to our friends at MorphinLegacy.com!
