The end of the retail release of the Ranger Keys toy line from Power Rangers Super Megaforce has come – the final keys have been released at Toys’R’Us stores. That being said – we decided to take a look at these keys in what we’re calling the Ranger Key Celebration Week here at TokuNation.com!

Before we look at the Power Rangers Jungle Fury B assortment of Ranger Keys, please take a moment and check out our previous Ranger Key galleries!

– Power Morphicon – Titanium Ranger & Wolf Ranger Exclusive Key Set
– Zeo Ranger Keys – Set A & B
– Lost Galaxy Ranger Keys Set B
– Operation Overdrive Ranger Keys Set B
– Wild Force Ranger Keys Set B
– Samurai Ranger Keys Set B
– Time Force Ranger Keys Set B
– In Space Ranger Keys Set B
– Dino Thunder Ranger Keys Set B

Easily one of the best sets in the bunch, the Power Rangers Super Megaforce – Power Rangers Jungle Fury Ranger Keys Set B comes with three awesome Ranger Keys – a translucent Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger Key, a translucent Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger Key, and a Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger Key. For those who don’t remember – the Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger was one of the finalists Ranger Keys from the Morphin Madness contest from 2014 but ultimately did not end up in the Final 5 Winners. The normal version (well, kind of normal) of this Ranger Key was available as a Power Morphicon 2015 exclusive. You can find that gallery, which also features the Titanium Ranger, by clicking here. This set completes your Power Rangers Jungle Fury Ranger Keys collection – the Jungle Fury Red Ranger, Jungle Fury Blue Ranger, and normal version of Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger were released in the initial release of the Ranger Keys.

Speaking of which – how cool is it to have a translucent key of a female Ranger? It turned out real nice and we’re big fans of it.

– In Space Ranger Keys Set B

The Power Rangers Super Megaforce – Power Rangers Dino Thunder Ranger Keys Set B set comes with three different Ranger Keys – a translucent Dino Thunder Red Ranger, a translucent Dino Thunder Black Ranger, and the Dino Thunder White Ranger. To have a complete set of Power Rangers Dino Thunder Ranger Keys, you’d need to pick up the Legendary Morpher Gift Set, which came with the Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger in a 20 Ranger Keys assortment. There was no key created for the Dino Thunder Triassic Ranger, mostly because it was a power-up form (although it would have been pretty awesome to get one).

The Power Rangers Super Megaforce – Power Rangers In Space Ranger Keys Set B comes with three different Ranger Keys – a translucent In Space Red Ranger, a translucent In Space Blue Ranger, and a In Space Yellow Ranger! Unfortunately, the In Space Pink Ranger was never released at retail and there are no plans currently for her to be released. If you wanted the In Space Silver Ranger you would need to pick up the Legendary Morpher Gift Set, of which he was one of 20 different Ranger Keys included in the set.

The best key out of the set is easily the translucent In Space Blue Ranger – but that’s just our opinion.

under Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

Did you know that San Diego Comic Con 2015 is barely a month away? We’re headed there once again for the third year in a row to give you the most in-depth coverage of everything at the show including interviews with Bandai of America and Saban Brands and other manufacturers of your favorite Power Rangers toys!

Today on Instagram, Bandai of America teased out four blacked out images stating that they will begin revealing the exclusives for this year’s SDCC later this week. But thanks to site contributor and Ranger Nation member @trekkieb47, we’ve been able to deduce exactly the four exclusive items that are coming from Bandai of America!

Now – we can’t say they’re confirmed, or at least, we can’t confirm the details. But we have a pretty good idea. They are as follows:

  • A Legacy Saba Sword repaint (most likely gold like every other Legacy item they’ve done)
  • A set of Ranger Keys (box is similar to last year’s set and the logo appears to be that of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie, making them Movie Ranger Keys?)
  • Another Tokyo Vinyl Pop figure, most likely the White Mighty Morphin Power Ranger (the last two years saw Mighty Morphin Red & Green)
  • A Doraemon figure (to which the Internet said “…a what?!”)

This marks the third year in a row where the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and/or White Ranger has more or less dominated the exclusives, causing the fans to groan out once more, “STOP FOCUSING ON ONE CHARACTER FROM ONE SERIES OVER 20 YEARS AGO!”

What do you think of this year’s exclusives? Sound off in our discussion thread and make your predictions – see if you’re right or if we’re right!! Special thanks to Rangerboard.com for the better quality original teaser image!

As we approach the summer months it is with a sad (or thankful) heart that one of the more collected items from the Power Rangers franchise winds down to an end – we’re talking about the popular (and sometimes hard to find) Ranger Keys from the Power Rangers Super Megaforce toy line. With the final wave of exclusive keys being released at Toys’R’Us as well as ToysRUs.com, many fans and collectors are finishing off their key collections. To celebrate one of the more popular gimmicks in the franchise’s long history, we’re spending the rest of the week doing various galleries of the Ranger Keys with a self-proclaimed title of Ranger Key Celebration Week!

First up is none other than one of the last packs to be released – the Power Rangers Samurai Set B pack which contains the Red Samurai Ranger (Translucent), Pink Samurai Ranger, and the Gold Samurai Ranger keys. The only key left out from this team is, sadly, the Yellow Samurai Ranger (and the female Red Samurai Ranger). But getting in to the debate as to why we needed three versions of the male Red Samurai Key is a debate for another time!

Check out over 25 images of this key pack by clicking the link here or by clicking the “Discuss” link at the end of the article! We’ll be throwing up galleries all week – don’t miss it!

Don’t forget to check out all of our past Ranger Key galleries!

The epic conclusion to Power Rangers Super Megaforce, the Legendary Battle, is scheduled to release on DVD on August 11th, 2015. This DVD will be the “extended version” edition, which is being labeled as an “Extended Edition Movie”, meaning it will most likely be the version that aired on Nick Toons last year. The “movie” also proclaims to have special feature titled “Power Rangers: A Legacy”, which features fan-favorite interviews with cast and crew while taking a look behind the scenes with the beloved franchise.

With a suggested retail of $14.98, Legendary Battle is set to release on August 11th, 2015. Special thanks to @LinearRanger on Twitter for the news!

Following all the big news last week – what with the reveal of the concept images from the upcoming Power Rangers 2017 Movie and the revelation that PaperCutZ no longer holds the rights to publish any Power Rangers comics, there was a lot of discussion all over the Internet about both topics. So the gang from our very own Talkin Toku Podcast did what any good group of fans would do – they put 8 people in to a single recording session and told them to talk about it.

News broke today that the Power Rangers comic book license is apparently up for grabs. Originally held by PaperCutZ, the publisher released books from Power Rangers Super Samurai and Power Rangers Megaforce, along with a hotly debated couple issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (hotly debated because many fans found them to be poorly written and riddled with errors – most notably the Free Comic Book Day issue). This news was broken by one of the artists on the book, Jolyon Yates, who shared on his personal website unpublished pages from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, stating that everything is in publishing limbo as the rights to publish the books are now up in the air.

With a movie coming out in 2017 and some concept images that leaked from said movie creating quite a stir, our thoughts are that Saban Brands would want to get Power Rangers back in to the comic world where comic book and comic book movies are now all the rage. Linked to this story is a poll where we ask you who should get the license to publish Power Rangers comic books/graphic novels, as well as our own thoughts on the likelihood of each company.

Our honest opinion? We’d like to see IDW Publishing take the helm. With their success record with Transformers, Godzilla, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, My Little Pony (the list goes on) they could easily turn it in to a big hit. Imagine two comics – one starring Power Rangers Dino Charge for the kids and one for the more adult fan simply titled Power Rangers expanding the universe and bringing back fan-favorites. What are the Silver Guardians up to? What’s happening on Aquatar and Triforia? What about the Phantom Ranger and the Blue Senturion? The possibilities are endless – just like our imaginations.

If anything breaks on what happens with the license (whether PaperCutZ is able to renew or another company takes it) we will let you know. Join in our discussion and our poll!
