The Official Power Morphicon is doing all they can to make your Power Morphicon a Lightspeed Rescue! Announced today, the first original American-created Power Ranger, Rhett Fisher who played Ryan the Titanium Ranger for Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, will be attending the convention on Friday, August 22nd. The text does state “at this time”, meaning there’s a possibility that he could appear for more than just the first day. Get on social media and show the man some love! He’s not the only one announced today though. Here’s the official run-down:

  • Rhett Fisher (Titanium Ranger, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue)
  • Robert Hughes (Producer on VR Troopers/Masked Rider/Big Bad Beetleborgs/Beetleborgs Metallix, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, Director on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/VR Troopers/Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog)

The guest list just keeps getting larger and larger! If you haven’t taken time to register for the show yet – click here and start your registration process! Those involved with Power Morphicon have stated that registration will close sometime in July – don’t risk it! Register today and prepare yourself for the ultimate Power Rangers and overall American tokusatsu experience!

TokuNation.com is proud to be attending this year’s Power Morphicon as a platinum member.

“Lock On!”

It’s here! It’s Part 02 of the Talkin Ranger Toku Command at the Nation Summer Crossover Special! Featuring a line-up of hosts (Chris, Jordan, Tom, Eric, Zach, AP) from two podcasts (Talkin Toku and Ranger Command), the group gets together to discuss the pro’s and the con’s to Japanese Tokusatsu, specifically Super Sentai in comparison to Power Rangers (it was deemed prior to recording that comparing Kamen Rider or Garo to Power Rangers would be a bit unfair).

But before you do ANYTHING ELSE – CLICK HERE to listen to Part 01 of the crossover, only at RangerCommand.com!

The dramatic, wonderfully acted and Oscar-deserving performances, comes to its epic conclusion! Be sure to listen all the way to the end to get to that epic conclusion! And included for your lol’ing pleasure are BLOOPERS! Granted, there were so many we went with the ones centered mostly on the scripted dramatic story – we have a ton to use in a future “bloopers” episode, which we will announce at a much later date.

Some of the topics we touch on – Premium Bandai is planning to release older Super Sentai merchandise in new packages (as well as some new merchandise). Like everyone else in the world – we speculate. We also discuss some of the new S.H. Figuarts that were revealed – Akarenger, Biorider, Kachidoki Arms. We also talk about Kamen Rider Malus, Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms, and even make predictions about Kamen Rider Drive, the next installment of Kamen Rider.

Please leave us comments and let us know what you think! Did you like this whole crossover? Did you like the dramatic acting (it was REALLY good, we know). Do you want to see more of it later in the future? Sound off! Post here in this thread, or hit us up on our social media.

The first toys of the fall assortments of Power Rangers Super Megaforce toy line have been released at Toys’R’Us stores. With special thanks to @20YearLegacy and @PockyBandit we can share with you in-box images of the Samurai Zord Armor and Q-Rex Zord Armor, as well as in-hand images of the Q-Rex Zord Armor.

These figures are large exosuit-like armor that an extremely unpainted figure rides inside. The Zord Armor can then break apart and become pieces for the Legendary Megazord! It also contains a key that works in the Legendary Morpher. In the case of the Q-Rex Zord Armor, the key that is part of the armor activates the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger phrases in the Legendary Morpher! These items were purchased at a Toys’R’Us store, and according to our friend raz, more of these figures will most likely be showing up in the southwestern United States as early as tomorrow (Tuesday).

Happy hunting! Don’t forget – if you spot a new toy, share your findings in our sightings forum, broken up by state. The more everyone updates it, the better a resource it becomes for Power Rangers fans in each state to find the items they’re looking for. Help your fellow toku-nerds out!

The wave 4 assortment of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5 inch action figures has been released (online at least) and it’s one of our first chances to pick up some of the Legendary Red Rangers from past seasons. With special thanks to our friend Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com we are able to bring you some great galleries of all the figures in this case assortment. First up? The Red Ranger from the fan-favorite series Power Rangers RPM!

For someone who is personally a huge fan of the S.H. Figuarts line of figures (if you don’t know what those are, check out our galleries section and browse through numerous entries) I can say I was pleasantly surprised at how simple, yet fun and detailed, this figure actually is. While there’s some minor issues that will always bug me (the way the figure is molded where the back is curved while standing straight up causing posing issues), I actually cannot recommend this figure enough. While the weapons aren’t necessarily painted (the Street Saber has a silver painted blade, but the Nitro Blaster is simply red plastic) the detail in them is pretty slick for a 5 inch action figure.

The Legendary RPM Red Ranger comes with his Nitro Blaster and his Street Saber accessories, features a decent amount of posability and articulation, and isn’t going to cost you upwards of $40 like S.H. Figuarts do. If you’re a fan of either Power Rangers RPM or the Super Sentai version Go-Onger, this figure is, in my honest opinion, a must purchase (until a higher grade collectible figure is released which there are no plans for right now).

Please click here to see 30+ pictures of the RPM Red Ranger! Stay tuned throughout the next couple weeks as we continue to release galleries of all the figures from this case assortment. Check your local stores and favorite online retailers to see if and when these figures come in stock! GET IN GEAR!
