under Godzilla

In the slew of news that came out last week during the 2013 Licensing Expo we got a ton of details and an official press release from Warner Brothers about the upcoming Godzilla movie, along with all the licensing details!

As it should come as no surprise, Bandai has been named the “Master Toy Partner” for the upcoming film. But along with Bandai, a number of other licenses were awarded to other companies – NECA, Sideshow, Trevco, Rubies, Bioworld, and Jakks Pacific!

Godzilla is slated to hit theaters on May 16th, 2014!

Thanks to our sister-site ToyArk.com for the news!

In case you missed it, we’ve recently wrapped up the Licensing Expo in Nevada, where our first official images of Power Rangers Super Megaforce were shown. We got the press-release (which didn’t detail hardly anything we didn’t already know) but as for information regarding merchandise and toys … we only know that we’re getting them. There’s hope that we’ll see some of the first stuff around San Diego Comic Con next month, and TokuNation.com will be there to give you all your first look at whatever Bandai of America brings!

TokuNation.com member and RangerCrew.com founder Fury Diamond was in attendance at this year’s Licensing Expo and took a ton of images as well as video – did you know that the Power Rangers Super Megaforce actually showed up at the expo? The suits, not the actors.

You’ll also find another Saban Brands property, Digimon Fusion, at the link above.

Thanks to Fury Diamond for all of this – great job buddy!!

Last week was the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or more commonly known as E3, and there was some Power Rangers Megaforce goodness to be found if you headed towards the Nintendo area of the floor!

TokuNation.com member and RangerCrew.com[/url] founder Fury Diamond was in attendance and got a chance to play the game first-hand. The game is a side-scrolling adventure similar to the Power Rangers Samurai game that was released last year. Please do yourself a favor and check out the write-up that Fury Diamond spent so much time writing for more information.

The game is scheduled to release “Fall of 2013” though online retailers have it slated for November 30th.

Go Go Megaforce!

One of the pains of toy collecting is when the toy company releases multiple case packs with harder to find figures more prevalent in a second or third revision that never seems to make it to the big brick and mortor chain stores. This is the case when it comes to the Power Rangers Megaforce figures Loogie and Vrak. Online toy stores received these figures, but your stores like Wal-Mart, Target, etc., maybe got one case and never again.

But because the world works in strange ways, TokuNation.com member raz dropped by to let us know that he found both Loogie and Vrak at a local CVS Drugstore.

If you’re missing those figures … then let the hunt begin!

Special thanks to raz from our TokuNation.com forums!

We reported just a few days ago that South Korea would be getting Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters as Power Rangers Go-Bursters. Now thanks to TokuNation.com member shikishima we have some more details to share along with the fact that Kamen Rider Fourze will also be airing alongside Power Rangers Go-Bursters in South Korea!

Daewon Media, a South Korean company that specializes in cultural content, is responsible for bringing over Power Rangers Go-Bursters and Kamen Rider Fourze to that country. Along with the shows will be imported toys, action figures, and accessories for both shows to the South Korean market.

If you missed your chance at getting some of the swag from these series when they were airing in Japan, this is now your chance!

A big special thanks to TokuNation.com member shikishama for this news!

With San Diego Comic Con right around the corner, and Bluefin Tamashii teasing the Power Rangers fan community with a slew of “hints” regarding the “Power Ranger/Sentai themed” exclusive for this year’s convention, they took to Twitter last night to answer a host of other questions, and in the process, revealed quite a bit of information that may have been lost in that of social media. Luckily, TokuNation.com has you covered.

Here are some snippets below.

@yourfriendlyandy: WANT (and the 3 others yet to come)!!! Damn you @TamashiiNations for ruining my bank account! #MMPR (image was of the 4 MMPR SH Figuarts)
TamashiiNations: @yourfriendandy 3 more eh? Our count says more than 3 for #mmpr #powerrangers
@ZeltraxMilleniu: Heck Yeah. I do have a question for the MMPR figuarts:
Will the power weapons be able to combine?
TamashiiNations: Currently not authorized to answer ;)

The above conversation was meant to say that we have yet to see official photos of the upcoming Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Black Ranger from Power Rangers and Zyuranger. We’ll say it’s a safe bet (see below) that we’ll get a Red Ranger with Dragon Armor to round that upcoming number to 4, but is there a chance we could see a villain like Goldar released as a web exclusive in Japan? Time will tell… Fans have also been curious if the weapons will combine like they did in the show. Speculation is either 1) They do, or 2) They don’t but an accessory will be sold later

@PwnStar511: Will the Yellow Ranger have a male or female body type?
@TamashiiNations: It’s a topic of discussion ;)

A lot of fans have speculated (and debated) whether the SH Figuarts Zyuranger Tigerranger/Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger should have a female body or a male body. In Zyuranger, the Yellow Ranger was male. In Power Rangers, the Yellow Ranger was female. However there was no change made to the costume (no skirt), so the fans continue their debate … a male body would be accurate to the costume, but for Power Rangers fans, it would be inaccurate to who played the character.

@ptoadstool: Is there any hope for the Gokaiger Figuarts coming over for Super Megaforce? (including the girls?)
@TamashiiNations: The answer to this will depend on something yet to be….

In other words, probably yes – we’ll end up seeing Gokaiger SH Figuarts hitting US shores in some way, shape, or form in the next year. This is not a confirmation, but an open-ended speculation.

@LinearRanger: Any chance of seeing the other Shinkenger, Dekaranger or Gosei Knight SH Figuarts in US releases?
@TamashiiNations: Yes!

Many have speculated that Gosei Knight would be released as an SDCC exclusive Robo Knight, kind of like how Female ShinkenRed was released as a NYCC exclusive last year. For those who missed out on Shinkenger and Dekaranger releases, this must be good news.

@TamashiiNations: Does the PR exclusive have some sort of armor or shield?” No…but THAT one is for something else #sdcc

Many people speculated we’d see a Red Ranger with Dragon Armor released at some point. This pretty much confirms it without officially confirming it.

Bluefin Tamashii also tweeted about a “pack” of exclusives. Something that comes in a “pack” and that foreshadows a future release of Power Rangers. Let the speculation run rampant!

A bit of random but happy happy news for those who were fans of Power Rangers RPM!

The actress Olivia Tennet (Doctor K) and Milo Cawthorne (Ziggy, Ranger Operator Series Green) of Power Rangers RPM have very recently tied the knot.

The two have known each other for quite some time and, as a happy couple, were lucky enough to star together in Power Rangers RPM which featured a continued “attempted romance” between the character Ziggy towards Doctor K. What happened in the series? Well, if you haven’t seen it you’ll have to go watch it to find out if Ziggy was ever able to woo Doctor K.

Either way, the fans here at TokuNation.com wanted to send our best wishes to the newly wed couple.

Jason David Frank has been very busy lately posting up images and now videos from his time filming the cameo role of Tommy Oliver on Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

He’s been promising pictures and videos and he’s delivering. Check out the following video, originally posted on Jason David Frank’s Facebook page.

Highlights include Hector David Jr (Mike, Samurai) doing flips over Allison MacInnis (Dana, Lightspeed Rescue), as well as Reggie Rolle (Damon, Lost Galaxy) being too “urban” to cross a river.
