This story goes to show that Power Rangers is indeed a worldwide phenomenon!

JapanExpo is the largest Japanese pop-culture convention of its kind. It was held in Paris, France earlier this month. To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers, over one-hundred individuals gathered for a “flash mob” of Power Rangers using “morphsuits” purchased from MorphSuits.com. They battled Puddies at Place du Trocadero, and invited fans to join in a choreographed battle.

San Diego Comic Con 2013 is only a little over a week away from the time of this post, and TokuNation.com will be there from Day 1 giving you full coverage of everything Tokusatsu related – from Power Rangers to Bandai to Bluefin Tamashii to Megablocks to more!

The most anticipated and demanded item is finally available – but only as a SDCC exclusive (for now). Released earlier this year, the 20th Anniversary Legacy Power Morpher gave us the morphing buckler from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in diecast metal along with a chrome finish. Lights and sounds gave us the classic communicator beep, and the classic theme song.

This year at San Diego Comic Con, you will have a chance to get one of a 1000 limited edition 24K Gold Plated Green and White Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Legacy Morpher! The 6th Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had the same “buckler” as the others, but it was gold and he obviously has his own coin (the White Ranger, who came from the Super Sentai Dairanger, was even given his own unique coin). The Dragon Coin and White Tiger Coin come with this Golden Legacy Morpher.

This is single-handedly the most wanted 20th Anniversary Mighty Morphin Power Rangers toy this year. We’ll be in line to get ours – and if we’re lucky, a couple more to give to you!

Check out the pictures (packaging and a display picture) by clicking on the title bar.

Don’t forget – TokuNation.com will be in attendance at San Diego Comic Con 2013 and on the floor before anyone else! We will be updating LIVE from the event – don’t miss our coverage!! Follow us @TokuNation on Twitter and also be sure to ”Like” our Facebook page so you don’t miss a single thing! We’ll be broadcasting live on Twitter, with pictures, information, and video!
