Tokunation.com user Crown Athlete swung by with some great news this morning, the Toys R Us Exclusive DX Shinken-Oh has been sighted! Photographic proof is attached. This DX release retails for $79.99. For those of you who have not seen this before, unlike the Zord Builder Samurai Megazord by Bandai Of America, the DX Shinken-Oh‘s individual zords can morph into emblem modes as well as their animal modes.

This is a straight up re-release of the original Bandai Japan Shinken Oh from the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger toyline! The only differences between this release and the original BOJ one is a cardboard sleeve around the box denoting it as a Power Rangers 20 product, and a brand new set of english instructions!

Happy hunting!

As fans go forward with collecting, there is a progressive amount of stuff found to collect. Perhaps you wanted to go beyond mass produced toys, and wanted to buy prototypes? Luckily for us, in this day and age, prototypes/testshots and what have you, are usually readily available for auction on the internet. While some may refrain from buying these, these auctions at least give us images of toys before production. Sometimes these toys change by final production, sometimes they just aren’t produced at all due to cancellation. With that said, sometimes online auctions are our only glimpses at “what could have been”.

So on this rainy day lets take a look at some select Power Rangers prototypes on ebay:

As alluded to before, maybe you don’t want to buy these, but just want to see how these toys were before final production? If that’s the case, we’ve mirrored the images from the aforementioned auctions. Note: most of the links are to private auctions. Sellers include gmlenterprises, lawijki & mj_var.
