The news dropped a couple of days ago that The Ranger fan film will be getting a sequel which will release in Spring 2015. Today, a teaser trailer was dropped by Matt Jayson who stars as The Ranger. Check it out below.

The Ranger takes a look at our hero, Jason Lee Scott (played by Matt Jayson), in the present day. The original film captured the audience’s attention because it portrayed Jason in a more real-life sense – just how would a teenager with attitude cope with having to give up so much of their young life to save the world only to end up losing their powers and then having to figure a way to make it on their own without being able to reveal just who they were and what they did? Would they be bitter? Would they suffer from a form of PTSD? The Ranger gave us a glimpse at that entire situation before getting in to the story – that Agent Kimberly Hart has gone missing, and there’s only one person that they can think of to find her and get her back – Jason, aka The Ranger.

Share your thoughts on this teaser and what you hope to see in the next installment of The Ranger! And if you have some questions, be sure to ask them – we’ll be sitting down with the creator and star of the film, Matt Jayson, very soon so he can answer all of our, and all of your, questions!

It’s another year of Power Rangers merchandise which means it’s another year for the continuation of the Armored Might sub-line of figures. Following the successful line of figures from Power Rangers Super Megaforce which included figures like the Silver Ranger, Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, and Mighty Morphin White Ranger, the first figure to be released in the Power Rangers Dino Charge line is none other than the star of the show – the Dino Charge Red Ranger.

Featuring a grand total of 12 accessories and the now commonplace heavy muscular build, this figure is able to be posed in a variety of ways. The included accessories allow you to customize your Ranger to match all of his on-screen appearances with various Dino Charger power-ups. But even this muscular hulk of a hero has his flaws.

Check out the full gallery as well as our review by clicking here or by clicking on the “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” link at the bottom of this post. Have you picked up this figure? Do you plan to? What do you think this figure needs to make it a must-buy? Sound off in the discussion thread!

And here’s a special treat – our own staff member baltmatrix purchased this figure and did a quick review on it. Find out his thoughts and see if they match your own with the video below.

In what can only be described as a reaction to the “oh hey the fans like this version!” to the Power Rangers Dino Charge theme song, the powers that be at Saban Brands are set to release the new theme song in three different versions – TV theme, extended theme, and extended sing-a-long theme – on February 3rd, 2015. The last time that Power Rangers officially sold their theme songs to the fans was doing Power Rangers Super Samurai, at which point the instrumental version was even used in the show’s final episode (albeit slightly edited).

There are currently two places available to pre-order these three songs so pick your poison – either at Amazon.com or at iTunes.com. A special thanks to both RangerCrew.com and RangerBoard.com for finding these songs pre-order listings respectively.

Figuarts release, whet your thirst for some hell fruit with what is quite possibly the highest quality and most professional looking video review you will see.

Los Angeles, CA (January 20, 2015) – Saban Brands and Nickelodeon will debut the 22nd season of the iconic Power Rangers franchise, Power Rangers Dino Charge, on Saturday, Feb. 7, at 12 p.m. (ET/PT). Premiering on Nickelodeon, the new season will deliver more dino-charged action and adventure than ever before, with an out-of-this-world storyline and an epic new team of Rangers. New episodes from this larger-than-life season will continue to air every Saturday at 12 p.m. on Nickelodeon in the U.S., with encore episodes airing Sundays at 8 a.m. on Nickelodeon and Saturdays at 7 p.m. on Nicktoons. The dinosaur theme has always been the strongest for Saban’s Power Rangers franchise from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers Dino Thunder, priming this newest season to become a fan-favorite with the return to the popular theme for the first time in over 10 years.

In Power Rangers Dino Charge, an alien entrusted powerful Energems to 10 dinosaurs, but when the dinosaurs went extinct, the Energems were lost. Now, an intergalactic bounty hunter is determined to reclaim the Energems and rule the universe, destroying our planet in the process. A new team of Power Rangers must find the lost Energems and use their Dino Chargers to power up an arsenal of dino-fueled weapons, zords and Megazords to save the world!

“Power Rangers Dino Charge will bring fans an action-filled story packed with all-new monsters, villains, weapons, and of course, Power Rangers,” said Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands. “We know our fans will love what we have in store with this all-new dino-themed season.”

“It’s really great to be back with Power Rangers. I’m humbled to be part of a show that continues to capture the hearts of so many kids, even after 20+ years,” said Executive Producer, Power Rangers Dino Charge, Judd “Chip” Lynn. “I’ve been involved in a lot of seasons, but for Power Rangers Dino Charge, we’re pushing the limits, going to places and times we’ve never visited before, with some unexpected storylines and dino-charged plot twists!”

The new team of Dino Charge Rangers includes: Tyler, the Red Ranger (Brennan Mejia), Koda, the Blue Ranger (Yoshi Sudarso), Shelby, the Pink Ranger (Camille Hyde), Chase, the Black Ranger (James Davies) and Riley, the Green Ranger (Michael Taber).
