How can a television show get any better than this? In one of the most revealing, shocking, and tear-jerking episodes in recent memory, Kamen Rider Gaim has once again out-done itself with an episode that, as even the writer Gen Urobuchi has stated, “changes everything”. Check your favorite subtitle groups as the episode is out in full force!

We can’t really talk about the episode on the front page without spoiling the entire thing. Just know that the image attached – Micchy hugging/clinging the wall, falling down in pure shock and disbelief – is the same reaction that just about everyone watching the show had in that very moment. Come and join the episode discussion and give your vote to it by clicking here.

We’ll see you next week with another episode poll and discussion. Though how an episode can top this one is beyond belief, but we have faith that sure enough, it will happen. To the stage!

Earlier today the first official images of the upcoming web exclusive Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger Tiger Ranger S.H. Figuarts figure were shown. In a mirror-move, the Facebook page for Bluefin Tamashii Nations, the US version of Tamashii Nations, posted up the images of their version, the S.H. Figuarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Yellow Ranger!

The international release of this figure is significant because, as you may remember, in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Yellow Ranger was actually female and not male. Because of that, the outside-Japan release will feature a female torso piece as opposed to the male torso piece. We’ve seen the figure as early as San Diego Comic Con 2013, but now we have some clear images to inspect. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers version will release with two Power Daggers, a Thunder Slinger, Blade Blaster, and three sets of interchangeable hands, as well as an accessory to form the Power Blaster, the weapon formed by combining each Power Ranger‘s signature weapon. This figure is slated to release later this year.

What do you think? Which version do you plan to get? Sound off in the discussion thread!

Tamashii Nations teased the Kamen Rider Gaim fan base last week by including possible prototypes of Kamen Rider Ryugen and Kamen Rider Zangetsu in their official announcement of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron. Now, thanks to some magazine scans, we have our first look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen and S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zangetsu!

Enjoy how beautiful these figures are and the sad realization that the show will be half over by the time we get our hands on them. As soon as more information comes through we’ll throw it in this news post! Enjoy the temptation on your wallets!

If you’re collecting the Power Rangers Super Megaforce toy line, then you’ve most likely already found your way to your local store to search for and pick up the entire first wave of the 5 inch figures. That first wave includes all five of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce. Right off the bat you can tell there’s more articulation, but just how well do these figures stand up? Are they worth the price tag? Will you have buyer’s remorse? Worry not, because baltmatrix is back with another video review, this time the Super Megaforce Red Ranger 5 inch figure is in his crosshairs! Check out the video below.

Some in the Power Rangers fan community were aware that three previous actors – Jason Faunt, Nakia Burrise, and Jessica Rey – had teamed together to be part of an internet series titled No Nerds Here. The first episode has premiered on YouTube!

The pilot episode has Jessica Rey coming to the realization that she’s not quite the star she believes she is, and her agent ends up booking her as a guest at a show titled CharacterCon celebrating the show she used to be on titled Mighty Rangers (an obviously play on Power Rangers … her season is even titled Wilderness Force, a play on Wild Force). The show is very similar to the once-popular show The Office, in which the camera cuts to one-on-one conversations with our actors periodically throughout the show.

All in all, the pilot episode was pretty entertaining, especially if you’ve gone to conventions and face-palmed at some of the questions that the guests are bombarded with, as the episode pays proper homage to those types of awkward situations. There’s even an implied website/message board/fan club feud between two different groups, in reference to the numerous communities dedicated to Power Rangers. Check it out below!

Please leave your thoughts on the pilot episode in our discussion thread! Are you looking forward to a second episode? Who would you like to see featured in it? Post your thoughts and discuss away! Congrats to the crew who put the episode together!

Thanks to the Bandai UK Facebook page, we have the first packaging images of the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Dragon Dagger exclusive from Toys’R’Us! With the UK Toy Fair coming at us at the end of the month, Bandai UK has been teasing everyone with Power Rangers images, and this set here is the first “first-look” we’ve been given.

For those out of the loop – the Dragon Dagger was the weapon of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, who used it to summon the mighty Dragonzord! This is the year of the Green Ranger, as the Legacy Morpher Green & White Ranger Edition exclusive has just been released, with the Dragon Dagger and Dragonzord following in the next couple of months.

Did you pre-order the Legacy Dragon Dagger? The item is schedule to release in February 2014 at Toys’R’Us. There was a pre-order for it at the Toys’R’Us website, but a matter of days after the pre-orders went up they were taken offline and have yet to return. Discuss the packaging with us and if you’re excited for this awesome toy!

The continuation of the Thundercats line continues! Just kidding (well, kind of, it’s the same body mold from the Thundercats line from 2011). Our own photo contributor conundrum got his Armored Might Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and has taken a number of images for your eyes’ viewing pleasure.

This beefy, muscular figure comes with his armor, his Dragon Dagger, and two interchangeable hands. It’s a great continuation of an already successful and popular line of Armored Might figures. Check out a ton of images by clicking here or clicking on the ”Discuss on the TokuNation forums” link. Don’t forget to use our social media buttons in this news post to share this gallery with your friends!
