under Power Rangers

The official Power Rangers Instagram account today teased the return of Power Rangers collectibles, now from Playmates, with the branding Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Re-Ignition.

Playmates acquired the license to create Power Rangers toys from Hasbro in 2024, with a scheduled launch date of Fall 2025.  Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks had stated in Hasbro earnings calls that Power Rangers as a brand failed to meet their threshold in terms of profitability to continue as is, thus the licensing out of the brand to other companies like Playmates.  The announcement of the licensing deal included specific language that Playmates would be creating a lineup of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers toys.  While rumors have circulated that Playmates would be making both a “kids” toy-line as well as an older collectible toy-line, nothing concrete has surfaced beyond rumors.

No further details were given.  At San Diego Comic Con, a Playmates representative had stated that their lineup of Power Rangers toys would be revealed at Toy Fair 2025, which takes place March 1st through March 4th at the Jacob Javitz Center in New York City.

Stay tuned for more information.

Thanks to the Chinese message forums Tieba we have our first look at No.1 Sentai Gozyuger Red!

 

This promotional art is for a chibi-styled product featuring the Red Gozyuger but we are able to confirm the legitimacy of it.

 

NOTE: The actual Red Gozyuger is not chibi-styled.

Fans of Super Sentai have been excited to see the return of Super Sentai S.H. Figuarts and even more excited to see older series (ie: Gokaiger, Kyoryuger) see the Shinkocchou Seihou treatment.  That trend continues as at the Tamashii Nations 2024 Event we have the official reveal of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Go-On Red!

Though listed as “Display Only”, this figure is featured on the @Instamashii Instagram account, making its release feel a little more guaranteed.  If it should release, expect it to be a hot pre-order – both fans of Go-Onger as well as Power Rangers R.P.M. will want to add this figure to their collection.

Stay tuned for more details.

under Kamen Rider

While Kamen Rider Gaim has celebrated its 10th anniversary this year, the product offerings seem to have slowed down considerably from the enormous CSM push from a couple years back.  Nonetheless, Kamen Rider Gaim and its rich roster of characters continue to show up in potential offerings in the Shinkocchou Seihou line from S.H. Figuarts.  At the Tamashii Nations 2024 Event, two more characters in this series have shown up on display.

Kamen Rider Ryugen and Kamen Rider Zangetsu are shown on display with other S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gaim offerings.

There is no release date or information, however it was shared via the @Instamashii Instagram account with official press photos (as shown in this story), so their release is considered very likely.  Stay tuned for more details.

The always reliable Trademark_bot via X.com has revealed the name of the next Super Sentai series – No.1 Sentai Gozyuger!

There are plenty of rumors flying about the next series – from potential actors, from story lines, to suit designs, morphers, and more.  Nothing has been confirmed at this time but we do expect details to begin leaking from reliable sources as filming for the new series has allegedly begun quite some time ago.

Stay tuned for more details about No.1 Sentai Gozyuger!
