Back in the summer of 2011 I approached our network owner, Tony_Bacala, with an idea for a new website to add to the network. Having been a fan of Power Rangers all my life while watching Gokaiger weekly, along with getting in to Kamen Rider through Kamen Rider Fourze, I wanted to take this enjoyment and passion and share it with other people in a broader scope. Tony_Bacala agreed to give me a shot, having been an Administrator at TFW2005 for nearly 10 years, and told me I had to find my own crew to run it.

For months I spoke with members of TFW2005.com who had an interest. I didn’t want to go pick up notables from other existing communities – I wanted to introduce fresh faces and build something from the ground up in every aspect. I did not know that the staff we would put together, the staff we have today, would be some of the greatest people and friends I would ever have. Sentai Tamashii, Den-O, Kamen Rider OOO, Paladin, ZeoRangerV, Kiryu, Uchihabro – they are some of the best and I am honored and humbled to get to do this with them every single day.

Six years. That’s a lot of San Diego Comic Cons, a lot of Toy Fairs, a lot of New York Comic Cons, and a sprinkling or two of Power Morphicons as well. 574 galleries as of today. That’s almost 100 galleries per year. Toku Toy Box – one of our holiday staples – is as popular as ever.

For 2018 we are going to go full swing with the celebration of the Power Rangers and the 25th anniversary. We have so much content planned for the year and I cannot wait to share it with you and celebrate the last 25 years of the Power Rangers franchise. And we cannot forget the Lupinranger vs. Patoranger hype, or just how exciting Kamen Rider Build is!

Thank you for making us a stop on your adventure through the world wide web. Thank you for your support, your comments, and your criticisms. Thank you to all of our members who have made this their place to discuss all things tokusatsu and more. We hope you will continue to be part of our family and we hope to continue to deliver the news, galleries, and content you expect for years to come.

Great news for you Legacy Mighty Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Flip Head Figures collectors! The assortment has been released at Target stores. Found by Jaime M on the Power Rangers Buyers Sellers Traders group on Facebook and shared with us via @BigMike8109, we can report that this assortment does include the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger.

These figures were originally found at Game Stop stores and did not include the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger. The case assortment at Target is as follows:

4x Mighty Morphin Red Ranger
1x Mighty Morphin Green Ranger
1x Mighty Morpin Pink Ranger

This is the third different case assortment as Game Stop contains 3x Red and 3x Green, while Entertainment Earth has a pre-order available for 4x Green Ranger, 1x Red Ranger, and 1x Pink Ranger. It would appear that the Mighty Morpin Pink Ranger will be the hardest figure in this assortment to find. Happy hunting!

With the weight of declining retail sales this holiday season, reports are coming out from Bloomberg that Toys’R’Us, the only remaining national toy store, is considering closing up to 200 of its retail stores after the holiday season.

Toys’R’Us filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in September as it was unable to pay the millions of dollars of debt that was coming due. However, due to its inability to pay toy manufacturers for the product on its shelves – specifically Hasbro and Mattel – the toy shopping season has dropped upwards of 15% compared to last year.

The exact number of potential store closings is only speculation, but the report from Bloomberg states from insiders that the company is projecting at least 100 stores and up to 200 stores total. This report comes on the heels of another report that stated Toys’R’Us won the ability in court to make sure their executives were paid $15 million dollars in bonuses for the 2017 fiscal year.

Our thoughts go out to the hard working employees who could be impacted by store closings. As to what could happen to upcoming Power Rangers Legacy items, which are exclusive to Toys’R’Us, is currently up in the air. We’ll keep you updated.
