We haven’t covered a lot of the speculation and rumors surrounding the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers in the upcoming series Power Rangers Megaforce, but seeing as it’s a bit of a slow news week, we decided to round up some of the information floating around out there to share with our loyal readers and viewers here.

Thanks to our good friend Fury Diamond of RangerCrew, we do have some tidbits of information that he has been able to confirm through his inside and very reliable sources. So without further wait, here you go!

The name of the high school our new teenagers with attitude will be attending has not been revealed, but we do know that the initials of the high school will be HCH. Obviously, the last letter will probably stand for “High” (as in “High School” like “Angel Grove High” was “AGH”) but what could the rest stand for?

There’s been casting sheets and calls for a Silver Ranger. While there has been no confirmation on whether or not there will be any use of the Gokaiger costumes, we do know that the Goseiger costumes, which Megaforce uses, will be carried over and used for Season 2 or “Super Megaforce”. Speculation is running rampant that Gokai Silver will in fact be the Silver Ranger.

The biggest question on everyone’s mind is whether or not the key (no pun intended) to the Gokaigers transformation, the Ranger Keys, will be used at all in Power Rangers Megaforce. Our friend Fury Diamond has confirmed that YES, Ranger Keys will be utilized somehow in the second season of Power Rangers Megaforce. The obvious conclusion is that Gokai Silver/Silver Ranger will use these keys, but that’s simply speculation for now.

Are you excited yet for Power Rangers Megaforce? We’re only about a month away from the premiere … stay tuned here at TokuNation as well as our friends at RangerCrew for all your updates on this anniversary season of Power Rangers!

Our good friends over at Ranger Crew Blog have put up an extensive review of the recently released Power Rangers Megaforce Gosei Morpher!

This morphin’ device uses cards … but unlike the Super Sentai version, the Megaforce version gives us a bunch of cards of previous Power Rangers! The question on everyones’ mind is … will this morpher stick around for the second season of Megaforce, or are we going to see Ranger Keys coming in to play sometime during the Gokaiger adaption portion of the season?

Only time will tell!

Again, check out our friends at the Ranger Crew Blog for all the awesomeness that is the Megaforce Gosei Morpher!

Hey Power Ranger fans! Do you know who Ahmit Bhaumik is? Well, for starters, he wrote the first real anniversary episode for the series with the Power Rangers Wild Force episode Forever Red. But have you heard about the un-used storyline that he outlined for what we know as Power Rangers Ninja Storm, which he had code-named Hexagon?

The original goal of that season would to be tying up previous characters and storylines from the Power Rangers universe. Villains like Scorpina, Prince Gasket and Archerina, even Lokar would return and play roles in the season. Main characters in the show? Tommy Oliver, or as you might remember him, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Green and White Ranger, Power Rangers Zeo Red Ranger, Joel the Green Lightspeed Rescue Ranger, Ninjor from the third season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and even more (like the Alien Rangers).

It would have been Ninja Rangers (Red, Yellow, Blue) against Beetle Rangers (Dark Red, Dark Blue) … both teams heroes but akin to a storyline similar to Marvel Comics’ Civil War series where heroes battle heroes over the right or wrong way to be a hero. Ahmit even wanted to add a third Beetle Ranger/seventh Ninja Storm Ranger to even out the guy/guy/girl ratio.

And Tommy Oliver would have returned to be the Green Samurai Ranger, the most powerful Ranger of all time.

Want to read the whole synopsis? We got you covered. Just click right here and check it out! Don’t forget to come back here and post your thoughts on what COULD have been … or even if you think it SHOULD have been or not.

Thanks to our friends at Megaforce Cast we have a video to share that features the appearance of the Power Rangers Megaforce as well as the previous Red Rangers.

Notably absent (at least from my eyes) is the Mighty Morphin White Ranger. Notably present was Power Rangers Super Samurai Female Red Ranger. I only bring that up as it was advertised in the press release:

Proving that saving the world requires teamwork, the Power Rangers Megaforce make their debut as they celebrate Thanksgiving by escorting the 14-foot tall Planet Earth balloon. With the help of 19 Red Rangers and a White Ranger, the ambassadors of the Power Rangers 20th anniversary, the earth is in safe hands this Turkey Day. Go Go Megaforce!

Interesting! Enjoy the video!

Special thanks to Megaforce Cast for the video as well as the press release.

Another figure in the SH Figuarts line of figures from the popular Kamen Rider Ryuki series has been released – Kamen Rider Knight Survive Mode! For those unfamiliar with the series, you might have seen it in the United States a couple of years ago as Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.

We’ve mirrored a few of the images from the review here, so please click the title bar to check out just a small handful of the images. If you want to see the full gallery, you can do so by clicking here.

This is an impressive piece. But if you already have SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Knight is it really worth it? Check out the pics and decide!
