Two years ago, writer Mat Groom (Mighty Morphin, Marvel’s Ultraman, Image’s Self/Made) and artist Erica D’Urso (Captain Marvel, Xena: Warrior Princess) launched their co-created graphic novel superhero, Inferno Girl Red, on Kickstarter and took the comics world and tokusatsu community by storm!  The book was fully funded and then some and even managed to see an actual retail release at comic book stores.  To say it was a success is simply not true – it was a massive hit!  And now it’s time to relive the magic with the Inferno Girl Red Book 2 Kickstarter!

With a needed funding goal of $85,000, Inferno Girl Red Book 2 looks to continue the story of Cássia Costa after the dramatic events from the first Inferno Girl Red book.  Mat Groom and Erica D’Urso return as co-creators and as writer and artist, but they’re not alone!  Rejoining the group from the first book is Igor Monti on colors, Becca Carey on letters, Kyle Higgins as editor, and Michael Busuttil as the glue that kind of puts it all together.

Inferno Girl Red is Cássia Costa, a teenager trying to live her best life who just happens to end up becoming a superhero.  Inspired partly by tokusatsu such as Power Rangers and Kamen Rider, Inferno Girl Red is something that any tokusatsu fan will enjoy.  Check out some of the reward perks below!

In the upcoming second half of Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, we will see the return of Kyoryu Red from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!  To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Kyoryuger, Bandai is bringing back Kyoryu Red to Super Sentai as well as his mecha – DX Kyoryujin Full Action Version!  A new suit and a new weapon – the King Gaburicalibur – are also coming.

The new DX Kyoryujin Full Action Version features added articulation, the lack of the need to use Zyudenchi to combine, and the ability to combine with all the mecha from Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger.

We had official reveals just last week and now we have our first look at the new items on display.  Check out all the pictures in the story!  You can also pre-order these items from site sponsor Tokullectibles at the links below!

Thanks to Toy Scope on Facebook, we have our first look at the upcoming Power Rangers Lightning Collection Master Morpher! This roleplay item was featured exclusively in the 25th anniversary episode “Dimensions in Danger”, as Tommy Oliver used it to morph in to all his different Power Rangers forms.

It was also featured in the graphic novel Soul of the Dragon as well as the upcoming 30th Anniversary Special comic from BOOM! Studios.

Pricing and release details are unknown. Fan speculation is that this item will be revealed for release at Hasbro Pulsecon at the end of this month. However, with the toy line currently on hiatus, who knows if this item even sees release.

Stay tuned.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the first episode airing of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.  To commemorate such a momentous occasion, Hasbro has put up a brand new t-shirt of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team and Dino Megazord on HasbroPulse!

The t-shirt is created by MAD Engine Global, part of MAD Engine Inc., which is an apparel licensee of Hasbro and Power Rangers specifically.

Fans have already notated, however, that some of the images (the Red Ranger and Dino Megazord specifically) are simple traces from previously released product or product images, and features very little to no new art.

You can purchase the item at HasbroPulse.com.
