Recently, Premium Bandai and Bandai Japan announced the next Super Mini-Pla figures to see release in Japan (the Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, and Tsubasamaru). Fans speculated whether or not they would see a release in the United States – and today Bluefin Tamashii Nations announced that the Ninja Megazord and Falconzord will see a US release!

The retail price tag for this set will be $99 and will release this November. This is great because the Japanese version, Kakure Daishogun and Tsubasamaru, were Premium Bandai exclusives and were demanding a pretty penny for import.

Super Mini-Pla are model kits that you put together. The end result is a mecha that is more articulated than the full size toy. The closest way to describe them is think Gundam model kits but of your favorite Power Rangers and Super Sentai mechs.

The Shattered Grid event in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic has claimed it’s final two victims – Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo are leaving the book, passing the torch to Marguerite Bennett and Simone Di Meo as writer and artist, respectively. Starting in Issue 31, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Comic will Change Creative Team at Shattered Grid Conclusion.

This new team will be continuing on from the after-effects of the conclusion of the Shattered Grid comic event. Kyle Higgins states in an exclusive article with ComicBook.com that there is no giant reset button for the event – the changes that happen in the book are, for the time being, permanent and change everything (just look at the new team!).

The final issue featuring Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30, which releases this August. The last work featuring Kyle Higgins as writer for Power Rangers will be the Soul of the Dragon graphic novel, which releases near the end of the year.

To Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo – THANK YOU. Thank you for taking a property known for being 100% kids oriented and telling real stories with real consequences. Thank you for taking Power Rangers seriously, showing the comic book world that our favorite spandex heroes can have awesome, gritty stories with heart and soul. You will both go down as creative legends in the Power Rangers universe.

To Marguerite Bennett and Simone Di Meo – WELCOME! We cannot wait to see what you have in store for the Power Rangers universe and we are excited to be able to take the journey with you!

Each and every year, Toys’R’Us receives a 6-figure set of Power Rangers that they sell as an “epic pack”. That pack always contains an “exclusive figure or accessory” that you cannot buy separately. This year is no different! Courtesy @mightymorphinpowerranger on Instagram we now know what’s inside the pack! And for fans of Kelson Henderson, the actor who plays Mick on Power Rangers Ninja Steel and Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, it’s your chance to own his first official Power Rangers toy!

Here’s the part that will undoubtedly frustrate some fans. The item is still exclusive to Toys’R’Us. This figure pack was found in a store in Canada. For those following the situation with Toys’R’Us, the Canadian stores are NOT closing. With the US Toys’R’Us stores – they are closing at the end of the month and the distribution centers have closed meaning no new product will arrive.

Get in touch with your Canadian friends! $49.99. Happy hunting!

In today’s Hasbro Strategic Decisions Conference, CEO of Hasbro Inc., Brian Goldner, spoke to the audience regarding the acquisition of the Power Rangers master toy license as well as the impending acquisition of the brand as a whole. Brian’s statement is quoted below:

“As I mentioned, we’ve now announced the acquisition of Power Rangers. This is really a great statement about where we believe we are in develping our brand blueprint. The fact that we can acquire Power Rangers brand and plug and play that right into our strategy where we activate it in entertainment, motion pictures in the future and then of course across toys and games and consumer products and do so globally. We felt the brand was very under leveraged and undervalued. We feel we can exploit it to a much greater extent and it was a great opportunity to acquire the brand.” – Brian Goldner, Hasbro Inc. CEO

This revelation will obviously come as great news for fans of the Power Rangers franchise who, last year, enjoyed their first major motion picture in 20 years. As many are well aware, the Power Rangers movie released at higher than expected numbers domestically, but overall failed to capture any audience globally, limping its way in to $142 million worldwide.

Stay tuned for more information as the Hasbro acquisition of Power Rangers continues!
