In case you missed it, today was the season finale for Power Rangers Megaforce with the 20th episode entitled “End Game”. A brief episode synopsis has the Power Rangers going up against Cyborg Vrak, Metal Alice, and The Messenger all before The Armada from all stretches of the universe arrives to invade the Earth!

Click here to vote on the episode and discuss it!

Our friend Fury Diamond took the time to upload some of his favorite moments from the episode. We’ve mirrored a couple of the clips below, but to see the rest of them, you’ll have to click here and go to his blog!

In the clip below, we see the Red Ranger Troy training for the upcoming battle. He’s quickly interrupted by the others as the battle begins.

As the battle rages on, the Power Rangers have probably their best morph of the season.

Finally, this last clip CONTAINS SPOILERS – DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED. It’s the final scene of the season, where we find out just how much trouble our heroes are in. Special note, never heard a mentor panic as much as Gosei does in this clip.

Again, please check out Fury Diamond’s blog, Samurai Cast, to see this and even more!

So what did you think of this finale?

Tokunation.com continues coverage of the Super Megaforce toy line release with a gallery by photo staff member conundrum of the highly anticipated Deluxe Legendary Morpher!

The Morpher is based on the Mobirate from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger but is a completely new mold from Bandai of America. It has three ‘generic’ sounds that play when the unit is turned on, the keypad is pressed, and the Ranger Key is removed. The Morpher also makes two team related sounds per key when it is inserted and turned.

The Legendary Morpher weighs approximately 4.5 ounces with three button-cell batteries inserted. Folded, it is approximately 4.5in long x 2.25in wide x 2.25in thick. Open, it is approximately 8.5in long x 2.25in wide x 1.5in thick.

The Legendary Morpher is packaged with the Red Mighty Morphin Ranger key and the Red Super Megaforce Ranger key. Each key is approximately 2.5 inches tall in ranger form and 2.75 inches long in key form. Although considerably smaller than the Gokaiger keys, the Super Megaforce versions do have well sculpted details and well applied paint applications.

Is the Dx Legendary Morpher or Ranger Keys worth picking up? Check out the gallery after the jump and add your own thoughts to the discussion!

Photo staff member ryan brings us a look at the exclusive Kamen Rider Fourze Effects Set, originally available at the 2012 Tamashii Nations Event.

 

The Fourze Effects Set contains a drill effect, Elek States and Fire States themed Tamashii Act 4 stages bases, three Act 4 stage arms, a smoke effect base, 2 electricity effects, and a flame effect. I would have liked another fire effect of any kind, but what we get is great.

This Set was originally available at the 2012 Tamashii Nations event, and then later at the Tamashii Web Exclusive shop, I recent picked it up on Mandarake for a reasonable price, and am very pleased with it.

Today we got to see the first public appearance of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Many of you have already gone out to Toys’R’Us and purchased your Power Rangers Super Megaforce figures. But there are many of you who are probably still on the fence on whether or not you want to pull the trigger on the Bandai of America version of your favorite Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger figures.

If our galleries haven’t convinced you, maybe this video review of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Megazord by our good friend and staffer baltmatrix will convince you. Check it out, along with a preview of our brand new logo for our upcoming site relaunch, scheduled for the early part of December!

Happy Thanksgiving! And to celebrate, here’s a video encode from our good friend Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com! Check out the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers join forces with the Power Rangers Super Megaforce!

The video contains both the encodes from NBC as well as CBS. It’s important to note that CBS was obviously reading an out-dated fact sheet, naming the Power Rangers Samurai characters instead of the Power Rangers Megaforce characters.

Tokunation.com continues it’s month long tribute to Power Rangers Wild Force with a gallery of the personal morpher of the five core Wild Force Rangers, the Growl Phone!

Produced by Bandai of America for the Wild Force toy line, the Growl Phone is a neutered version of the G-Phone from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger. The Growl Phone is able to transform into a representation of the Lion Wild Zord but lacks the additional accessories and moving parts to transform into the other four main Wild Zords.

All buttons on the morpher’s keypad can be pressed but all make the same sound. Pressing the lion button activates a second sound and causes two green lights on the phone’s ‘screen’ to flash.

under Conventions, Other Conventions

If you haven’t heard of Denver Comic Con then it’s time you got yourself familiarized! The first show happened in 2012 and was met with great praise for being well-organized and a fun experience. Then in 2013, they were met with record number increases, so much that they had to turn people away from entering the show, as it was entirely sold out (we’re talking an increase from a few thousand to TENS of THOUSANDS with people getting in line for tickets at 1am)!

And now in 2014 they are finally dabbling in the genre of tokusatsu, announcing David Yost (the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger) and Walter Jones (the original Mighty Morphin Black Ranger) as special guests. Both Yost and Jones are still relatively new to the convention circuits, only recently in the last year or so getting in to conventions.

Denver Comic Con will be held June 13th, 14th, and 15th at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver, Colorado. Tickets go on sale Cyber Monday (Monday, December 2nd).

I will be at the show – will you?
