Today, amongst all the brand new Power Rangers news revealed over the last 12 hours, Hasbro has officially launched HasbroPulse.com, the new name and face of what was previously known as HasbroToyShop.com. Their motto is one that should make most fans smile – “Where Fans Come First”. HasbroPulse.com offers direct pre-orders and orders of all new and upcoming collector-oriented product from brands like NERF, Transformers, Star Wars, Marvel, and of course, Power Rangers.
There is also a premium service being offered called “Hasbro Pulse Premium“. We’ve done our best to detail exactly what all of it means.
In past years, Hasbro had a habit of revealing new toys at San Diego Comic Con and New York Comic Con and mentioning to fans that they were available that moment to order. Those toys often sold out quickly before showing up at Amazon and other online retailers, usually a month or two later. But what does “other perks throughout the year at select conventions” mean?
Our first guess – a “line cut” or something similar at the Hasbro Pulse booth at San Diego Comic Con. That, and probably a “first chance” to purchase convention exclusives online if you cannot make it to the show.
You can enroll in Hasbro Pulse Premium right now, for free, by simply creating an account and making a purchase before the end of the day on Friday, February 23rd. After that it will cost you $50 annually to become a Hasbro Pulse Premium member. They tease even more perks for their “best customers”.
In short – find something you want (personally I recommend the Transformers Siege Ultra Magnus figure) and get a toy AND membership in to Hasbro Pulse Premium. We believe that your first chance to get brand new Power Rangers toys, and in the future Power Rangers convention exclusive toys, will be through HasbroPulse.com.
Check out everything by visiting HasbroPulse.com.
Thanks to SouthernHobby.com we have our first look at Wave 1 of the upcoming Power Rangers Lightning Collection.
The first wave will consist of Mighty Morphin White Ranger, Lord Zedd, SPD Shadow Ranger, and Dino Charge Red Ranger. These are slated for release in May 2019.
White Ranger comes with Saba, an alternate Tommy Oliver head, and a blue sword effect for Saba
Lord Zedd comes with his staff, a “growth orb”, and a fire effect for his staff
Shadow Ranger comes with the Shadow Saber and a blue sword effect
Dino Charge Red Ranger comes with Dino Charge Blaster, Dino Saber, and lightning effect
These will come packed 8 to a case.
If you’ve somehow managed not to pick up the multitude of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers DVD releases over the years – whether the individual season sets, the series set, the 20th Anniversary collector set, or the steelbook series set – you’re in luck because yet another release is on the horizon!
Shout! Factory has announced an upcoming steelbook DVD release of the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Containing the first 60 episodes of the series (otherwise known as Season 1) and a steelbook cover of the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger, this set is scheduled to release April 16th and is available to order directly from Shout! Factory for $27.99.
Fans continue to wait for an individual release of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie on Blu-Ray, which was available in the 25th Anniversary set released last year. As of the time of this story, Shout! Factory has not changed their stance from “It is currently only available in that set”.
The upcomoing Kamen Rider Zangetsu stage show has released a promotional poster for the upcoming show running March 9th 2019 through March 28th 2019. The stage show stars Yuki Kubota reprising his role as Takatora or Kamen Rider Zangetsu. The stage show is written by Nobuhiro Mouri and supervised by the legendary Gen Urobuchi, who was responsible for writing the popular Kamen Rider Gaim series that Kamen Rider Zangetsu is from.
This marks the second post-Kamen Rider Gaim project for the character of Kamen Rider Zangetsu, who starred in the first Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden movie.
While the next Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, doesn’t officially begin airing until March of 2019 that doesn’t mean the toys won’t be heavily promoted leading up to their eventual release. Word on the street is Toei and Bandai Japan are going all-in for this series in hopes of turning what has felt like an inevitable tide of disappointing toy sales and show ratings for Super Sentai over the last few years.
Thanks to YouTube user ショウカイジャー we have our first look at some of the new toy offerings on display in a local shop in Japan. Check out the video below to see these glorious items in person (well, as in person as a video can be).
Our site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com has decided to carry brand new Super Sentai product for 2019 after skipping the 2017 and 2018 toy lines (Kyuranger and Lupinranger vs. Patranger specifically). But with big dinosaurs and an exciting new collectible gimmick, they’re all in – and now so can you!
Ryuusouger Pre-Orders!
– DX KishiRyuOh
– DX KishiRyuOh Three Knights
– DX TriKen and AkyLoze
– DX TigerLance
– DX MiNeedle
These products are not expected to arrive until March meaning those who want to directly import may have to wait well in to February or early March to order them. Why wait? Secure your new Super Sentai mecha now through BigBadToyStore.com! Take advantage of their Pile of Loot shipping method and save HUNDREDS in shipping!
Many fans of Power Rangers will agree that possibly the lone shining light during the franchise’s 25th anniversary was the success and enjoyment of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers comic book series by BOOM! Studios. It would appear that the more mainstream media now agrees as the Go Go Power Rangers comic, written by Ryan Parrott and illustrated (for the majority of 2018) by Dan Mora is up for IGN’s Best Comic of 2018 Award.
The competition Go Go Power Rangers faces is pretty stiff however so it will need every Power Rangers fans’ help in getting itself across the finish line. What an opportunity to show the comic book world that the Power Rangers are more than just a licensed TV show comic but instead are an in-depth look at the lore and the universe that makes up our beloved franchise.
The nominees are as follows:
– Batman
– Black Hammer: Age of Doom
– Black Panther
– East of West
– Go Go Power Rangers
– Kill or Be Killed
– The Mighty Thor
– Monstress
– Saga
– Transformers: Lost Light
