We’re back, with even more photos of today’s biggest announcement from Power Morphicon 2018. The Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin White Ranger! Which has absolutely been the talk of the con since it’s debut.

Our very own @TokuChris has been struggling to get a signal to send us photos and videos. But it seems he’s finally found the sweet spot of the convention center to get us a new smattering of up close looks at the Lighting Collection White Ranger! We’ll be back a bit later one with super hi-res shots of this display prototype, as well as a massive gallery of all the props, helmets, and full ranger suits on display at Power Morphicon 2018!

“It’s Morphin’ Time!

Announced at Hasbro’s Power Morphicon panel earlier today, the new Lightning Collection is already shaping up to be a fantastic replacement for Bandai’s now defunct Legacy 6.5″ line of figures. This amazing new line of 6″ scale, show accurate, accessorized, and affordable ($19.99) figures is a welcome addition for collectors worldwide.

Via the official Power Rangers Twitter account, we also now have access to the video shown announcing the line at said panel. This video breakdown gives us a look at the entire construction and production process of the prototype seen at the Con today. Which was then displayed publicly by Hasbro after the show.

Our old friend @JmannDX has provided us with some new higher-res shots of the Lightning Collection White Ranger as well, attached to the story after the jump. For now, see the video above for a fantastic first look at this line and what we can hope for in the future!

As Power Morphicon continues, the good people at HASBRO have revealed their first project utilizing the Power Rangers toy license!

A new series of action figures known as The Lightning Collection has been revealed! This series will feature the most screen-accurate action figure recreations ever, standing roughly 6 inches tall and including all weapons & accessories. In addition, the Lightning Collection figures will include secondary heads matching their characters’ unmorphed face!

Only 1 piece of the Lightning Collection is on display at the moment- the Mighty Morphin White Ranger!

The Lightning Collection will be hitting stores in Spring 2019. Figures are priced at a very modest $19.99 USD. Exact assortments are not known at this time, so stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting new toyline!

This weekend is the Official Power Morphicon convention! On Friday, the show opened and fans of Power Rangers enjoyed quite a treat from the Hasbro booth – a number of show-used costumes and props from 25 years of the history. One item in particular that had a lot of interest was the prop from the series Power Rangers In Space, the Astro Megaship prop.

An older prop that has some wear and tear (missing some turrets) it is still in great condition. We took a number of photos from different angles – click the title of the story to see all the images!

Stay tuned for more high res photos from the Hasbro booth, including what’s inside the mystery box…

Just revealed only hours ago to the general public, we have brand new up close and clear images of Soul Of Chogokin Titanus AKA King Brachion!

Whether you’re a fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, this massive mighty carrier will make a fine addition to your collection. While currently we still have no idea what the release window and price are looking for at this time, we can see that this will be an impressive companion to your SOC Megazord (Daizyujin) & SOC Dragonzord (Dragon Caesar).

We’ll keep you up to date as more new information becomes available. Be sure to follow us here and on our social media on twitter @TokuNation or check in with our man on the ground at Power Morphicon 2018, @TokuChris!
