As the tokusatsu community continues to grow and evolve, we want to celebrate the fans who make up that community.  Specifically, we want to highlight and celebrate a number of Black content creators in the tokusatsu community.

Brokusatsu is a content creator on both YouTube as well as social media with impressive a full catalogue of high-quality photos of our favorite tokusatsu characters from Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and Power Rangers.  On YouTube, Brokusatsu does “Brokucast”, a podcast-styled series where he shares his thoughts on the news in the tokusatsu communities, as well as product reviews.

We’ve uploaded a few photos from Brokusatsu‘s gallery that he selected here in this story.  But you have to see the full gallery because there are some really amazing shots.

If there is one thing that tokusatsu and Power Rangers have shown all of us over 30+ years it is the importance of inclusivity and diversity.  As we celebrate Black History Month we wanted to recognize some of the Black toku content creators that help make this fan community as amazing as it is.

Today we wanted to celebrate Dr. Zeo, a YouTuber who focuses on Power Rangers and tokusatsu content on his channel.  You will find video essays on Power Rangers, unboxings of your favorite tokusatsu media (such as Shout! Factory’s DVDs of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider), and episode reviews on Power Rangers.

Click here to check out Dr. Zeo’s YouTube channel.

Below is just one of the many videos available on his channel.  Check it out and enjoy!

TokuNation receives zero click-thru ad revenue on the website so there is no revenue generated from these stories.  We want to use our platform to elevate Black and other PoC toku content creators throughout 2023.  If you’re interested in having yourself highlighted by us, please reach out via tokunationbiz (at) gmail (dot) com or via our Twitter @TokuNation.

Fans of the Power Rangers rejoice – arguably the biggest “Why haven’t they made this yet?” role-play toy is finally getting made and joining the product lineup for this year’s 30th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Originally reported by The Illuminerdi and backed up by a never-before-released exert of an interview with the late Jason David Frank, Hasbro will be releasing the Master Morpher – which made its debut in the 25th anniversary episode of the franchise “Dimensions in Danger” during Power Rangers Ninja Steel – sometime this year.  While there are no official details available (the item hasn’t been officially announced), it is expected to be a GameStop exclusive and available this Fall.  In the show, the item allows Tommy Oliver to change between all five of his previous Power Rangers incarnations.

Toy leaker @LightningFigPR on Twitter has teased that the Master Morpher will come with six total coins – Dragon, Tiger, Falcon, Zeo, Turbo, and Dino Thunder.  The Master Morpher should also come with newly recorded dialogue for each morph as seen in the show.

Stay tuned for more details as they release.

For fans of the Power Rangers Lightning Collection, the final piece (at least to the main core 5) of the Power Rangers S.P.D. team is almost here!  Thanks to @shishinigami32 we have our first in-hand images of the upcoming SPD Yellow Ranger.  Of note, this specific item looks to have come with extra accessories.  We assume that is, unfortunately, another quality-control issue as the Power Rangers Lightning Collection continues to be absolutely plagued by them in all recent releases.

We do not have a release date for this figure because as of this posting, Hasbro has yet to announce the item for release despite official images being leaked and now the item releasing outside the United States.

For a very long time now, Power Rangers fans have watched as third party companies in other popular brands (like Transformers) create unlicensed representations of their favorite characters from television, comics, and video games.  It would appear that Power Rangers and Super Sentai fans are finally getting some love.

Chinese company Lucky Cat has revealed the full details on their third release in the Micro Cosmos line and it is none other than “Beast Lord“, or a representation of DaiZyuJin/Dino Megazord.  These are 2″ large figures that fold in to cubes, then come together to form the mighty Beast Lord.

You can pre-order this item from our site sponsor Tokullectibles by clicking here.

Lucky Cat has teased future releases as well but they do not look to include a Dragon Caesar/Dragonzord at this time.
