Our very own Sentai Tamashii is attending New York Comic Con 2015 and had some time to sit down with Greg Mitchell from Bandai America. We had asked on our @TokuNation Twitter account for some of the questions you guys had for Bandai America, as well as some of our own.

We asked around 12 questions and got answers for pretty much all of them!  More Ranger Keys … we remind them which ones not to forget (and it looks like they almost did!).  A 5″ Talon Ranger figure?  Why does the Legacy line continue to rise in price – especially that $80 Falonzord?  And does the Legacy Thunder Megazord have that attack sled formation?  We got the answers!  Click on “Read More” to read our Q&A!

Here are some images of the Power Rangers Dino Charge figures on display. Unfortunately, there was no new product revealed at NYCC 2015 this year. The diorama on display looks identical to the one seen at SDCC 2015. What was shown is as follows:

– Dino Charge Megazord
– Ptera Charge Megazord
– 5″ Figures (villain waves)

So while it’s not Poisandra or Dino Super Charge, either way it is still awesome to look at, so check out all the images after the jump!

Back at this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2015, we were invited by Saban Brands to come meet the cast of Power Rangers Dino Charge and interview the executive producer of the series, Chip Lynn. Jumping at the first available opportunity to do so, we booked our interview appointment and sat in anticipation until it was time. And we did our absolute best not to disappoint you with “easy questions”, instead going right after the hard ones!

That was new footage of Zeltrax in the Dino Super Charge trailer. We point it out to Chip. He reacts. We also ask him about the Talon Ranger. He won’t give us an answer, but he does give us a clue. But does that mean we’ll be seeing him in the show? Listen on and find out!

As always, you can choose to directly download the .MP3 of the interview. It’s only about 11 to 12 minutes in length. We do apologize for the audio quality – throw 25 people in to a room with an incredibly loud cast (they’re awesome!) and you’ll have an audio-editing nightmare on your hands.

We’d like to thank Chip Lynn for being such a great interview guest, as well as Saban Brands and all of their crew for always being so courteous, professional, and just an overall joy to work with. The franchise is in very, very good hands right now. This interview only cemented that thought.

For reactions and to read the transcript of the interview, simply click here for the transcript. Thanks for listening! Please leave your feedback in the thread.

Is it that time of the year already? Well, sort of kind of! As per tradition, Power Morphicon tickets are going on sale a full year in advance of the show. This allows you to get the registration done and over with and begin saving for all the goodies from the merchandise floor as well as all those delicious autographs from the, what can only be assumed, throngs and throngs of Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and other tokusatsu properties headed to the next Power Morphicon convention.

Power Morphicon 2016 will be taking place on August 12th thru August 14th 2016 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California. As attendees of last year’s show, I can personally tell you that if you’re a fan of Power Rangers, Super Sentai, or anything tokusatsu related – just imagine a large dealer room full of nothing but tokusatsu toys, actors that are happy to see you and chat with you, voice actors yelling at you in their character’s voice as you walk by, and more friends than you ever thought you could have. You do NOT want to miss this year’s show – especially now that there will be a second hall open to show off a number of never before seen artwork, pictures, and so much more that will only be shown once!

Registration goes live at 9am PST/10am MDT/11am CST/12pm EST. How do you register? We’re happy to help you with that. CLICK THIS LINK TO GO STRAIGHT TO EVENT REGISTRATION. That’s your ticket to get your ticket! For those going for the Platinum registration – good luck!

You didn’t think we were done did you? That’s right – going through various files from our extensive coverage of this year’s San Diego Comic Con revealed a few tidbits of stuff that we left out with that whole “readjusting back to normal life” thing that you go through post-convention! This set of images is none other than the upcoming Legacy Blade Blaster!

Now, keep in mind these are images of a prototype, a not-ready-for-retail version. What ends up in our hands will LOOK very similar to this, but it will not necessarily be what you’re seeing in the display case. Speaking of the display case – let’s convince Bandai America to increase the lighting next year!!

Either way – this is a beautiful prop and we can’t wait to get it in our hands. As the Legacy line continues, Bandai America continues to increase the quality of the products they are putting out. And no matter how you spin it, that’s a win for fans and collectors alike. Check out the images by clicking the title of the story!
