The fourth Official Power Morphicon is only a month and a half away and the guest list keeps on growing. Updated to the site yesterday are the following guests!

  • Hector David Jr. (“Mike”, Power Rangers Samurai Green Ranger)
  • John Tellegen (Writer, Ninja Storm through RPM)
  • Wilsa Derro (stunt-woman, “Fujiyama Ichiban” fan film)
  • Sunny Seki (Artist and Japanese culture special guest)

If you haven’t registered yet, time is running out! On July 31st, registration for the show will end. Click here to begin your registration process! It’s also been stated that the special guests availability will be updated closer to the convention, as not every guest listed will be available for the entire show. Currently, only Rhett Fisher is listed with limited availability (Friday only), but we’ve also learned that Jessica Rey will only be available on Saturday. However, this information can change at any given time (if projects come up, a role is landed in a film or feature, etc.) so we’ll have to be patient while the updates are listed.

They teased. They toyed with our emotions. For a couple of years now, Bluefin Tamashii Nations have teased us that they could do a Lord Zedd figure, either as a S.H. Figuarts or a FiguartsZERO. After teasing us that they could, they teased that they had something they were working on. But then time passed by. Over a year after teasing that something was in the works, at Anime Expo this past weekend, they finally delivered on their tease. During a panel regarding current and upcoming projects, a blurry image of Lord Zedd with his iconic throne was shown with the tag FiguartsZERO.

It would appear that all that waiting has finally paid off. After showing the blurry image, they later announced on their Facebook page that everything shown at the panel would most likely be shown in person at this year’s upcoming San Diego Comic Con. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered there (our full coverage begins Tuesday, July 22nd … or basically just about 2 weeks away). Here’s a run down on the news from the panel that pertains to Power Rangers!

  • FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd – more details to come, could be shown at SDCC 2014
  • S.H. Figuarts of other Power Rangers teams – they stated that Bandai doesn’t think there’s currently a series that has an overwhelming demand.  They want to see an overwhelming demand for a series before they could begin working on it.  They’ve asked that we please spam their Facebook page with requests for one of three series – Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers In Space, or Power Rangers Time Force.  Doing so will show Bandai that there’s an overwhelming demand and they can move forward.

This is apparently the year of Lord Zedd!  First he gets a Legacy figure, and now he is apparently getting a FiguartsZERO as well. So let’s talk about it #RangerNation! Is a FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd a must-buy for you? Is it a wait and see? Join in the discussion! Don’t forget to keep your browsers tuned right here for our coverage of this year’s San Diego Comic Con – pictures, videos, interviews, and so much more!

Bandai’s first exclusive for the massive fandom gathering known as “San Diego Comic Con” has just been revealed thanks to Toys R Us!

Lord Zedd is the self-proclaimed “Emperor of Evil” and “enemy of all that is good and decent.” With multiple points of articulation and a muscular design, this figure is perfect for play or display! Comes with collectible legacy packaging styled after the original figures.

How this figure differs from the previously-announced Lord Zedd action figure (tentatively scheduled for Fall 2014 release) remains to be seen.

Zedd will be available to SDCC attendees at Entertainment Earth, Booth #2324! Stay tuned to TokuNation for more price & purchase details!

Bluefin reveals their 2nd exclusive offering for SDCC this year via facebook. As hinted at by company representatives from NYCC last year, it’s the S.H.Figuarts Armored Black Ranger from the MMPR exclusive episode an “Oyster Stew”.

The footage used for this episode is part of the “Zyu2” run of episodes. Saban had licensed Toei to film new material with new monsters to be used exclusively in Power Rangers episodes because Saban had already cycled through the available material. This powered up form appears once and only in Power Rangers despite being from Japanese footage. Currently there’s no word on pricing.
