under Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

The Power Rangers continues its 25th anniversary celebration at this year’s annual San Diego Comic Con event. Bluefin Tamashii Nations – known for their stateside release of S.H. Figuarts and most recently the Soul of Chogokin Megazord – have teased their exclusive for this year. A simple image of the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord standing in front of the Dinozords from Soul of Chogokin Megazord.

The Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord is set to release this August and will combine with the Soul of Chogokin Megazord. The Soul of Chogokin line is akin to a “masterpiece style” release of robotic nature items featuring accurate-to-source-material detail with diecast parts and increased articulation. If the Legacy Dragonzord impressed you, the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord will blow you away.

We have no details as of yet to what this release will detail. Stay tuned for more details and information as it comes available.

This was unexpected. The popular and more adult-oriented Kamen Rider special series, Kamen Rider Amazons, has now seen an official release in the United States via your Amazon Prime subscription. Titled “Amazon Riders“, the entire first season is available to watch RIGHT NOW with English subtitles. Amazon originally announced plans to bring Kamen Rider Amazons, originally available on Amazon Prime in Japan, to English speaking audiences all the way back in 2016 but failed to give any details on release.

Those of you who have followed TokuNation.com over the years are aware of our love not only for toys and collectibles but the desire to get to know more about what goes in to making them happen. That love allowed us the opportunity to get to know, on personal levels, some of the individuals at Bandai America who were working on the Power Rangers brand. One such individual was Gregory Mitchell, who first joined the Power Rangers team in 2013 and started making his mark on the property with Power Rangers Super Megaforce. He would finish his tenure with Bandai America as the Senior Director of Marketing for Power Rangers and oversee Power Rangers Dino Charge, Power Rangers Dino Supercharge, the Power Rangers Movie, and Power Rangers Ninja Steel.

Gregory Mitchell left Bandai America and Power Rangers in October of 2016 to join Alpha Group, a Chinese based company that was in the infant stages of growing their presence in the US markets and territories. Since joining the team, he has played a pivotal part in the acquisition of master toy licenses for various properties, including the multi-billion dollar global property that is Spongebob Squarepants. Fans of tokusatsu will recognize the name Alpha Group as the same company in China that produced the Armor Hero tokusatsu series.

He was kind enough to sit down with us for two hours and discuss a number of topics relating to the Power Rangers brand, both from his time there and from his position now looking at things as an outsider. In our exclusive interview, Gregory discusses how the process of a Super Sentai season becoming a Power Rangers season happens; the inside scoop on Legacy toys quality control issues; Legacy Shogun Megazord; an abandoned Super Sentai series that was planned before Lupinranger vs Patranger; and a handful of stories and favorite memories that you may have missed over the years.

The full interview is available in podcast form from Talkin Toku. You can listen to it in the player below or download it by clicking here.

The entire interview is also uploaded in to 9 total videos on our YouTube Channel. The first piece, a preview we released a couple of weeks ago, is shown here on the front page. All 8 follow up segments are included with this story and can be found by clicking “Read More”.
