When Kamen Rider Gaim uses his Kachidoki Lock Seed to power up using Kachidoki Arms, he’s given the powerful new weapon known as the DJ Gun! This new form and new weapon is going to premiere sooner than you think on the show, and thanks to the Shinkiba Channel on YouTube, we can bring you this video demonstration of the gun’s features and sound effects. Check it out!

While many collectors have purchased the Lock Seeds, the weapon assortment doesn’t seem to get as much love. Let’s hear from some of you who are collecting the ENTIRE line of Kamen Rider Gaim merchandise. Are you excited for this item? You have to admit … the turntable looking bit on the side is pretty sweet. Click the discussion link and sound off!

Not content with making their listeners wait another month for an episode, Kickback and Den-O pushed forward through busy schedules and an absent Sentai Tamashii to record an episode of Talkin Toku – The TokuNation Podcast! But how do you fill the void of Sentai Tamashii? You bring in popular Power Rangers fan and enthusiast Eric (@trekkieb47 on Twitter, host of the @RangerCommandPH podcast) to talk some toku! The hilarity started early, it was constant, and never really went away. We can’t really stress just how much we laughed making this episode and all the pieces that went in to it.

Join hosts Chris, Jordan, and Eric as they discuss conventions – LexCon, San Diego Comic Con, and Power Morphicon – and some of the celebrities that they’ve run in to outside of the typical convention atmosphere. The conversation quickly changes to Tasting the Trainbow with recent developments on Ressha Sentai ToQGer, discussing what we like and do not like about the show thus far. Things go from happy rainbows to facepalms as the crew dips down in to the depths of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, focusing on the episode “A Lion’s Alliance”, and pretty much lose their focus and composure as they discuss all the things wrong with the show. An attempt at Kamen Rider Gaim discussion is made, but Power Rangers Super Megaforce sneaks back in as soon as someone mentions the phrase “new powers”.

And you can’t forget – the new catcphase “you got berryd” – takes over the group throughout the episode. Please be sure to ”Like” TokuNation on Facebook and to follow us @TokuNation on Twitter.

On the heels of this year’s LexCon, arguably the most popular Power Ranger of all time, Jason David Frank who played the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Red Ranger in both Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, as well as the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, has released the second episode of his self-created reality show titled My Morphin Life.  The video is below.

This episode features what many of us have come to known as convention burnout and convention hangover, where the crowds and the excitement literally drain every bit of energy from your body.  Follow Jason David Frank as he attempts to survive LexCon 2013.  This video features interviews with other former Power Rangers about Jason David Frank, including Walter Jones, Blake Foster (who is credited as his character’s name instead of his actual name), Catherine Sutherland, Karan Ashley, and the always lovable Jason Narvy.  Click on the discussion link to share your thoughts about the episode!

In celebration of the Power Rangers and their anniversary season, our very own conundrum is taking you back in time so you can Shift in to Turbo with a look at an older figure – the 8 inch Quick Draw Phantom Ranger figure!  For those of you who remember Power Rangers Turbo, the Phantom Ranger was an ally to the Power Rangers.  He would appear in both Power Rangers Turbo and Power Rangers In Space, but his true identity was never revealed (but the speculation runs rampant to this day).  If you’re more a fan of the Sentai side of things, then you recognize the figure as the VRV Master from Gekisou Sentai Carranger, an ally but not an official 6th Ranger to the team.  Unfortunately, due to his lack of an appearance in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, the probability that he appears in Power Rangers Super Megaforce is slim, as his costume was never seen on set.

So we’ll celebrate him right here!  Take a trip down memory lane and click the discussion link at the bottom, or simply click here to see the full gallery!

Our good buddy and site contributor baltmatrix has finally gotten his hands on his desired Arms Change figure – Shin Zangetsu!  He was kind enough to do his own video review of the figure.  How does it compare to the earlier release of Zangetsu?  Did the plastic quality improve?  Check out the video below for the answers!

About a week our ago, our own Den-O took a comprehensive gallery of the figure as well as having it paired with all the other Arms Change fruits.  Do yourself a favor and click here to check it out!  So what do you think?  Is this figure on your list of wants?  Are you having trouble finding it?  Don’t worry … the boys of the Talkin Toku podcast might have an easy way for you to get one.  And maybe other things too!  Stay tuned…

under Conventions, Power Morphicon

If you’re a Power Rangers fan then you have OBVIOUSLY heard of the official Power Rangers convention titled “Power Morphicon”.  And if you haven’t, now is your chance to find out all the great things about this popular convention!  For starters – it’s a convention for Power Rangers and features the biggest guest line up of any show in the world in terms of Power Rangers, Masked Rider, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, and Big Bad Beetleborgs … basically all your favorite (and maybe not so favorite) Saban shows from the 90’s!

The hotel connected to the convention center – the Sheraton Pasadena – is now sold out!  Luckily, down the street there is the Westin Pasadena with a flat room rate no matter the size of the room you need.  Having stayed at both hotels in the past, you won’t be disappointed!  There was also a ton of new guests announced – the entire core group of 5 for Power Rangers SPD will be in attendance for example.  If you’re a Power Rangers fan, you don’t want to miss this show!

Power Morphicon is happening August 22nd through the 24th at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California.  For details on all the special guests, the rules of the show, and to keep up with all the latest announcements, head to WWW.OFFICIALPOWERMORPHICON.COM!  We hope to see you at the show!

In honor of the annual March Madness for college basketball, Saban Brands and Bandai of America have teamed up to create their own themed version of the bracket – Morphin Madness – where fans of Power Rangers will vote on their favorite Power Rangers against each other in a bracket-style tournament!  In the end, the Power Rangers that are the last standing will become a special edition Ranger Key set to be given to lucky fans who participate.  The grand prize however will be a 24k plated Gold Legendary Morpher (much like the 2013 SDCC 24k plated Gold Gosei Morpher).

We’re still not entirely sure how this is going to play out or how this is going to work – but at 4pm today (we assume PST/PDT) we will find out!  Begin the countdown and at 4pm head on over to MorphinMadness.com and begin voting for your favorite Power Rangers!
