SDCC Power Rangers Update
Hot off the press from out SDCC News Team! Our very own admins Kickback and Den-O are at the 2014 SDCC and they have uncovered much news from Bandai of America:
- Legacy Tigerzord- highly articulated, diecast, zord builder compatible. Very nice
- Legacy Saba – retractable blade, animatronics, electronic sounds
- Legacy Titanus on display
- Original MMPR Movie Legacy White Ranger Morpher with Tiger and alternate Falcon coins
- Dino Charge Megazord is on display, it is confirmed to have a purple triceratop, and not the pink one that was in the Sentai version, the Dino batteries are smaller.
SDCC posted a picture ban till 6PM PDT or 9PM EST this year, so as soon as the ban is lifted, pictures will come flooding in, STAY TUNED!
*Edit While there are quite a few pictures floating out there on the web, we at TokuNation decides to respect SDCC’s policy and will not post any pictures till the ban is lifted.
Talkin Toku Episode 014 – Pre SDCC 2014 Show and Reaction to Roberto Orci on MMPR Movie
It’s a busy week for the hosts of the Talkin Toku Podcast!
Joining Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom is none other than Deefuzz/Dan, known for his work with the PreOrder 66 Podcast. This means the entire news team covering this year’s SDCC is altogether for a podcast to discuss everything they’re looking forward to at SDCC 2014!
First things first – the group shares their thoughts and reactions to the news of Roberto Orci as the executive producer for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie. Is it good news or bad news? How can he take the premise of Power Rangers and turn it in to a successful movie franchise? The guys discuss!
The topic quickly turns to SDCC 2014 – the guys talk about the coverage plans, tease at some stuff they can’t announce that are planned for SDCC 2014, and of course, they talk toys – what toys they want, what toys they don’t want, etc. Are any of them planning to grab the Bandai of America toys this year? And exactly what secret item is Kickback/Chris planning to bring home to his lady friend?
The show ends with the group discussing conventions in general and in specific TFCon Chicago, where they make plans on-air to attend the show together. D’aww.

Talkin Toku Episode 13 Released – Why Not Zoidberg?
It’s time to talk some toku with the latest release from the Talkin Toku Podcast – Episode 013 “Why Not Zoidberg?”. Join Kickback, Den-O, special guest hosts baltmatrix and MonkieRanger, as well as two more “surprise” guests as they attempt to talk Kamen Rider Gaim, Power Rangers Dino Charge, and San Diego Comic Con 2014 news and rumors (which have all been debunked as of this morning, hooray!).
Find out what’s going on with all the Zoidberg talk as the gang discusses how to make Power Rangers Dino Charge the best series of all time. There’s an Arms Change missing from Kamen Rider Gaim – and the crew thinks Bill Cosby can fill that void. The gang spends a lot of time discussing the details of the plot of Kamen Rider Gaim leading up to and including Episode 35.
But with a grand total of six hosts on the show at once? You know it’s just going to fall apart. And fall apart it does – but in a way that guarantees you’ll be laughing. Be on the look out for a special video commemorating this episode to be released VERY soon! Take a listen! Stick around till the end for bloopers and things that we cut from the show but decided to include at the end.

News from Tamashii Nations Panel at Anime Expo 2014 – FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd
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!
