Today’s geek culture has taken a serious hit thanks to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19.  We have seen the staples in the convention world shut down with a shift to offering only a spattering of the content we’re used to, sometimes behind a paywall.  Power Rangers fans will no doubt know that both Power Morphicon and RangerStop were forced to postpone their shows until next year at the earliest – there is no guarantee conventions will ever resume like they used to.

TokuNation is proud to announce our participation with The Viewing Globe – a Power Rangers Online Fan Experience for this Labor Day Weekend (September 4th through September 6th).  This is a free convention created by fans of Power Rangers and tokusatsu in general.

The first guest announcements are as follows:

  • Jason David Frank (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)
  • Members of the cast of Power Rangers Beast Morphers

Check out the full press release by clicking “Read More”.  Be sure to follow The Viewing Globe on all of their social media to keep up to date with all the news and information coming out for this fan experience.  New guest announcements every day leading up to the show!

Easily the most exciting display of the weekend at this year’s Power Morphicon was the enormous amount of screen used props that Hasbro brought with them to the show. Ranging from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers all the way through Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, fans were given a treat seeing these props up close and personal.

So of course we busted out our camera and took as many high resolution pictures as we could! Who knows if or when we will ever see these again? Every single prop that was on display is pictured in this news story. Click the title of the story to see them all!

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the Power Rangers and Hasbro chose to celebrate by bringing 25 different helmets, one for each year of Power Rangers, to their display booth at this year’s Power Morphicon! Those with keen eyes will recognize the display pieces coming from the original offices of Saban Brands which shut down earlier this summer when Hasbro purchased their entire catalogue of intellectual properties.

Check out each and every helmet by clicking the title of the story!

The biggest and most exciting news prior to this year’s Power Morphicon was the Kickstarter launch for the Renegade Games project Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid. Renegade Games was in full attendance at Power Morphicon pulling in quite a large crowd to demo the game first hand and to check out all the proposed and upcoming game pieces thanks to continued support of the Kickstarter.

Check out some painted sample pieces from the game by clicking the title of the story! They are well done and are quite eye-popping! Also be sure to tune in to our review of a brief play through we got to experience while in attendance at Power Morphicon!

The biannual Power Morphicon has come and gone sending many Power Rangers fans home happy and poor. At the convention were our friends from Bluefin Tamashii Nations showcasing their current upcoming product. On display was the Soul of Chogokin Titanus (many claim it is simply a Legacy Titanus), their convention circuit exclusives Soul of Chogokin Black Megazord, Green and Red Ranger S.H. Figuarts with human heads, as well as the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Mighty Morphin White Ranger with human head.

Thanks to some fresh scans floating around from this month’s Figure Oh we have release information on a selection of new S.H. Figuarts, but more on that in a minute. In the mean time this issue has just confirmed official release information for Soul of Chogokin GX-85 King Brachion! This figure was just revealed to be in the works at this weekend’s Power Morphicon 2018 under it’s western release as Soul of Chogokin Titanus.

Figure Oh confirms that King Brachion is headed for a February 2019 release at 29,160 yen. Which seems to be a bit under most people’s expectations on price. Brachion also appears to be a general retail release, likely because of it’s western distribution as Titanus. With these confirmations we can expect official images of the figure to be released in the new future. When they are, we’ll be sure to update our ongoing discussion thread.

The biannual Power Morphicon has come and gone but we’re still sharing images from the event! There were so many things to take pictures of and so little time to do it that we’re still catching up! Hasbro pulled out all the stops in their first-ever Power Morphicon by cracking open the vaults and showing off some Legendary Rangers goodness in a number of costumes and props from the last 25 years.

We have taken high resolution photos of every single costume on display at the show. To check out all the delicious pictures, click the title of the story! Power Morphicon will return to Anaheim, California in 2020. We’ll see you there!

Today the good people at BOOM! Studios take center stage at Power Morphicon to offer fans a quick look at the future adventures of their fan-favorite Power Rangers comic book series.

*With the much-hyped SHATTERED GRID winding down, the time has come to look Beyond The Grid! This new phase of the story begins in Issue #32 of the comic.

*A major character in this new story will be a comic original- the Solar Ranger! This purple & gold female Ranger is a BOOM! original creation! Her story will begin in January 2019.

*Backing up the new Power Ranger team in Beyond The Grid is the Dark Ranger! This new character (a previously-unused concept from Power Rangers Dino Charge) is at last revealed in full, but out of respect for those who wish to go in unspoiled we will NOT be revealing his true identity here. PLEASE TAG ALL SPOILERS WHEN DISCUSSING!

*Outside the grid, new adventures are coming to Go Go Power Rangers! This series will explore the story of Rita Repulsa and reveal at last how the Green Power Coin was obtained.

*The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team goes through some unique changes in Go Go Power Rangers- including unpredictable color swaps and a VERY unexpected romance! These are currently scheduled for release in Fall 2018.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Power Rangers comics! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all BOOM! Studios reveals. And feel free to join in our Power Morphicon Boom! Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears about these new adventures!
