under Power Morphicon, Power Rangers

Hey Power Rangers fans! The Official Power Morphicon opened its registration this morning! If you haven’t registered yet, please click here and begin the process. A lot of fans are expressing dismay that they didn’t have an option to include the Power Morphicon Exclusive 6.5″ Legacy Power Rangers figure. While it hasn’t been showing up during the registration process, there is a way to add it.

After you’ve registered for your membership, you will be sent an E-mail regarding your registration. Open that E-mail, go back in to your registration profile on the site, edit the “Extra Items” tab, and you can then add as many Legacy 6.5″ figures that your membership allows. You will have to pay for them in advance.

While there has been no official announcement on what the Power Morphicon Legacy 6.5″ exclusive figure is, a report out our friends from Power Rangers NOW states that it is indeed the evil Lord Drakkon! However, some conflicting reports are out there as well (at one point the original registration site showed “Psycho Silver Ranger”). However, we did learn Bandai America will be offering a second exclusive through their booth at the convention. So stay tuned for more details!

under Kamen Rider

Each year we have a new gimmick figure in the Kamen Rider action figure line. For example during Kamen Rider Gaim it was the “Arms Change” figures and most recently in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid it was the “Level Up Rider” series. This next series, for Kamen Rider Build, is called the Bottle Change Rider series. We now have a Bottle Change Rider 01 Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Form official image courtesy of Bandai Japan.

This figure has a button on the back of him that, when pressed, will separate the figure in to two pieces so you can use other Bottle Change accessories to change the form of Kamen Rider Build.

This figure releases September 2nd 2017 in Japan for the price of 3,500 yen. No other accessories have been revealed as of yet but stay tuned for more details and hopefully more images.

Our brand new hero, Kamen Rider Build, will use a weapon that’s already gaining a lot of traction in the fan community for being awesome as heck – the DX Build Crusher! It’s basically a drill sword that also changes in to a gun. We now have the Kamen Rider Build DX Drill Crusher official images courtesy of Bandai Japan.

The DX Drill Crusher comes with the Hedgehog Full Bottle. The DX Drill Crusher can act as a sword and spin when the activation button is pressed along with a sound effect. Or, you can transform it in to a gun and shoot your enemies. Insert your favorite Full Bottle accessory to unleash a special attack and also place it in your DX Build Driver to activate a new form!

The DX Drill Crusher releases on September 2nd 2017 with a suggested retail of 5,000 yen. Check your favorite online import stores and order yours today.

under Super Sentai

Fun fact – Super Sentai and Dragon Ball Super share the same production company known as Toei. Some readers may remember the original Super Sentai homage in Dragon Ball Z – namely the Ginyu Force. But some 30 years later a new homage to Super Sentai exists in the world (or universe) of Dragon Ball Super – the Pride Troopers!

In the latest arch of Dragon Ball Super there is a giant tournament between 10 different universes. From one universe comes a group of warriors who call themselves the Pride Troopers and they will remind you heavily of the Ginyu Force homage as each fighter takes a pose ending with a group shot and a colorful explosion behind them.

Check out the attached image for what we mean. And check out Dragon Ball Super, airing every Saturday, to catch up on what has become one of the hottest animes of 2017!

under Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

I had the extreme pleasure of attending San Diego Comic Con 2017. This was my fourth year attending and covering the event for our network and every year by the time you go home you’re left dizzy from everything you’ve just experienced. As the sole representative of TokuNation.com my primary focus is to cover all things tokusatsu related, or in the case of American entertainment, that means Power Rangers.

San Diego Comic Con is the largest pop culture convention in the entire world. The number of attendees ranges upwards of 100,000 guests and anyone who has attended the convention will tell you that is no “generous number” … it’s a reality. And this year whispers are it was the largest convention ever. Literally every major entertainment company, regardless of whether or not they have their own convention earlier or later, brings their A game because this is the one time a year that the entire world is watching in anticipation for what you have to show.

This year the Power Rangers brand failed to not only to capture any of the magic or attention they might have acquired from their major motion picture release earlier this year, they failed to show up at all. Please click “Read More” for our in-depth analysis of why this wasn’t just one of the worst years for Power Rangers at San Diego Comic Con but why it may be the worst ever.
