It’s Morphin Time!

When Bandai of America first announced the 20th Anniversary Legacy Morpher, the first thing most fans and collectors asked was if and when we would ever get a Green & White Ranger version. As we know by now, we would have a Toys’R’Us release of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and White Ranger hit shelves early in 2014. But before we had that, the only option was the elusive and very pricey San Diego Comic Con 2013 Exclusive Gold-Plated Legacy Morpher.

Limited to 1000 pieces and available only at San Diego Comic Con 2013, this version of the morpher was, for a small time, the most sought over Power Rangers merchandise quite possibly in the history of the franchise. I remember when I purchased mine I had offers for double or triple what I paid for as I walked past a line of hopeful attendees.

TokuNation.com is proud to be present to you a high resolution gallery of over 50 images of this exclusive piece of merchandise, with comparison shots to the mass retail version. If you have any additional picture requests, please post them in the discussion thread. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy this (in my opinion) beautiful exclusive!

It’s time to talk some toku with the Talkin Toku Podcast! Join your hosts Kickback aka Chris (@rankal), Den-O aka Jordan (@DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii aka Tom (@SoulInkChu) as they talk the latest news to hit the tokusatsu community!

In Episode 008 – Articulated Boobs join the guys as they talk about the winning Ranger Keys of the Morphin Madness contest. They transition in to discussing some of the most exciting and promising news in recent memory for Power Rangers with the apparent return of Judd Lynn as executive producer of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge season, adapted from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, in 2015. And the toy topic of the podcast? Are S.H. Figuarts of Super Sentai characters dead?

For the first time (and not the last time if you guys enjoy it), our conversation and discussion about Power Rangers Super Megaforce “Silver Lining Part 2” is done in the way of MST3K, with Jordan watching the episode live on the podcast. The part that makes it hilarious to listen to, aside from his criticisms of Power Rangers as a whole, is the fact he had no idea we were recording. Enjoy his natural comedic wit in this segment! The boys also discuss Kamen Rider Gaim, with the return of Kamen Rider Bravo and Kamen Rider Gridon. But where does the show go from here? The boys attempt to speculate. And discussion of Ressha Sentai ToQGer is hijacked with discussion of Mini-Pla ToQOh.

Be sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode for a special promotion of the upcoming Talkin Ranger Toku Command at the Nation Summer Crossover Event, where the Talkin Toku at the Nation Podcast joins forces with the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast for an epic podcast crossover. A big special thanks to @trekkieb47 for editing the promo. Be sure to check out the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast by checking out their official site – RangerCommand.com.

You can’t keep a good man down – and that’s why raz keeps bringing the news! Being the toy sleuth that he is, he’s managed to find two images of upcoming 5 Inch Legacy Power Rangers figures – the Mighty Morphin White Ranger and the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger. These toys are billed as being part of the Legacy collection, which means these are Toys’R’Us exclusive figures. The images are a little grainy as they were taken with a smart phone through glass, but you still get a great idea of what the toys look like. Check them out!

Don’t forget to follow raz on Twitter to stay up to date @razzle1337 as well as his blog, Razzle’s Dazzles. When it comes to digging up any and all toy information for Power Rangers, raz is the man with the know!
