The stylish covers that began it all a year ago when BOOM! Studios first acquired the license for Power Rangers comics will come to an end at this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2016. Finishing off the very impressive cover art of the Rangers holding their helmets will be an Armored Black Ranger. This is, ironically, the second time the Armored Black Ranger has been a SDCC exclusive (circa 2014).

A second cover is exclusive to the show as well – which combines with three other covers to become one large splash page of artwork. If you’re going to be at SDCC 2016 this year, swing by BOOM! Studios booth 2229 and grab yourself one of the exclusive covers!

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.

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!

It’s time to show YOU the power of thunder! At this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2015, our friends at Bandai America pulled off one of the biggest reveals of the entire show when they unveiled the incredibly anticipated Legacy Thunder Megazord figure in their display with the rest of the Legacy items. Featuring plenty of diecast metal (why do you think it’s being hung up by wires!?) and said to be faithful to the show, this item immediately became one of our most viewed stories on TokuNation and shot up to the top of everyone’s “must have” list in terms of Power Rangers merchandise – including those who don’t even collect the merchandise!

We spent a lot of time trying to get the best shots possible to show you how the Legacy Thunder Megazord comes together and the incredible detail that went in to every little part of this figure. Click the story and check out 25 high resolution images.

The Legacy Thunder Megazord is due to ship out in November 2015 with an estimated release date of sometime in January 2016. There is no price point yet revealed. Please remember – this item is not the final retail version!

We took so many pictures while attending San Diego Comic Con 2015 that we’re STILL working on getting them all out to you! And one of the sets that took the most time was this set of 78 images of all the new Power Rangers Dino Charge figures that were on display. Included in this set are all of the villain figures that we’ve seen listed on Amazon such as Sledge, Curio, Wrench, the other villains whose names keep changing, as well as the Ammonite Zord, the Zord Armor Gold Ranger, and the massive T-Rex “stomp and chomp” toy that will be available this holiday.

Check out 78 high resolution images by clicking the title of the story! Then join in the discussion – which one of the villains looks the most amazing? Did they not knock it out of the park with that new zord armor? And who doesn’t want their own Rexy hanging out? Sound off!

This one is a little out of the ordinary for us but it was still pretty awesome either way. During San Diego Comic Con 2015 we spent a lot of time chatting with Bandai America, both casually and on the record about the future of the franchise and so forth (click here to see our on-the-record interview!). One of the cool things they mentioned was that the Dino Charge Megazord that has been at all their booths during this year’s convention cycle is the actual Kyoryuzin suit used in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!

That’s right – Bandai America paid to have Toei ship the suit for Bandai America to show off during the convention cycle. You know what that means? Remember the image of our own Sentai Tamashii holding the Dino Charge Megazord sword at this year’s Toy Fair? It means he was holding the screen-used weapon from Kyoryuger.

Wow!

So if you’re headed to New York Comic Con 2015 this year, be sure to reach out and gently touch this awesome piece that will one day find its way back to Toei for storage in the museum!

The onslaught of high resolution images continues from San Diego Comic Con 2015! The convention is over but now the fun begins as we go through our high resolution images and upload them for you guys to enjoy! Our exclusive Legacy Saba Saber is on its way – so until then, enjoy these high resolution images from the Bandai America booth taken last week at San Diego Comic Con 2015!

Join in the discussion – do you want one? And if so – how much are you willing to pay for it on the aftermarket? Tidbit … the prices aren’t that high right now, less than double the original cost (compared to previous years when prices were triple the original cost). Sound off Ranger Nation!
