We reported this via our @TokuNation Twitter account yesterday, but we are also making a front page post at the behest of our friends at Bandai America who want to make sure that this information gets out to everyone as there was a lot of concern over the original details.

Regarding the Legacy Thunder Megazord: The individual zords that make up the Thunder Megazord will indeed combine with each other to form the classic attack sled just like the original release 20 years ago. The information before was uncertain but Bandai America is now confirming that the attack sled can indeed be formed by the individual zords.

Regarding the Legacy Falconzord: The original price listed in Toys’R’Us computers showed a suggested retail of $79.99. Many fans were upset as the Legacy Falconzord by itself does very little – it’s a bird that doesn’t turn in to anything and only acts as an attachment for the Ninja Megazord and the Shogun Megazord, which currently have not been announced as upcoming Legacy items but teased as such by Bandai America at NYCC 2015. Towards the end of the show, Bandai America reached out to us to confirm that the price of the Legacy Falconzord will be $59.99. This is great news for a lot of us as we believed the original price of $80 was too high.

A very special thanks to Greg Mitchell from Bandai America for the follow up on these questions. Please stay tuned as there’s a lot of great things coming from Bandai America for fans of both the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as well as fans of Power Rangers Dino Charge!

Our very own Sentai Tamashii is attending New York Comic Con 2015 and had some time to sit down with Greg Mitchell from Bandai America. We had asked on our @TokuNation Twitter account for some of the questions you guys had for Bandai America, as well as some of our own.

We asked around 12 questions and got answers for pretty much all of them!  More Ranger Keys … we remind them which ones not to forget (and it looks like they almost did!).  A 5″ Talon Ranger figure?  Why does the Legacy line continue to rise in price – especially that $80 Falonzord?  And does the Legacy Thunder Megazord have that attack sled formation?  We got the answers!  Click on “Read More” to read our Q&A!

File this one under totally unexpected and totally awesome! Word has just dropped on Yoshi Sudarso’s facebook page, and been officially confirmed on the Toei Ninninger site, that Yoshi will be making a brief cameo in next week’s episode of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! 

In Yoshi’s words this will only be a “quick cameo”, but this is pretty exciting and very unusual. This actually marks the first time ever that a Power Ranger actor (from the excellent Dino Charge no less!) will make an appearance in an episode of a Sentai! This episode also marks the return of Metal Hero Jiraiya! So this is going to be one very exciting extra special episode of the series.

Whether you’ve continued following Ninninger or not we think it’s safe to say that this is one episode that people across the world will be tuning in to! We’ll see you next week Yoshi!

A new round of auctions have cropped up on Chinese auction site Taobao showcasing some upcoming Power Rangers Dino Super Charge products in packaging for the first time! Among the items listed are some things we saw back as SDCC as well as a surprise or two:

Deinsuchus Zord[/URL]
Ankylo Zord[/URL]
Ammonite Zord[/URL]
Pachy Zord (Purple)[/URL]
Dino Charge & Ptera Charge Megazord Deluxe 2-Pack[/URL]

With these packaged samples turning up on the secondary market it’s probably a good indicator that they’ll be hitting actual retail in the near future! keep your eyes peeled and if you spot any of these new charged up items be sure to share your findings in our Toy Sightings Forum!

Here are some images of the Power Rangers Dino Charge figures on display. Unfortunately, there was no new product revealed at NYCC 2015 this year. The diorama on display looks identical to the one seen at SDCC 2015. What was shown is as follows:

– Dino Charge Megazord
– Ptera Charge Megazord
– 5″ Figures (villain waves)

So while it’s not Poisandra or Dino Super Charge, either way it is still awesome to look at, so check out all the images after the jump!

Teased and revealed on the official Power Rangers Movie Instagram is the identity of the actress who will be portraying the Pink Ranger in Saban & Lionsgate’s 2017 Power Rangers Movie!

Without further adieu Naomi Scott has been revealed to play the Pink Ranger! Her most recent acting credit is for a role in the Matt Damon film The Martian. Though she’s been active since 2009 in television, and arguably is best known for her role in the TV Series Terra Nova.

You can follow the official Power Rangers Movie Instagram here, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled as this piece of casting news undoubtedly means more could be on the way for the 2017 Power Rangers Movie. You can also follow Naomi Scott on Twitter @NaomiScott!

This year’s special contest brought to us by the crew at Bandai America is known as Megazord Madness, pitting some of your favorite Zords and Megazords against each other, much like last year’s Morphin Madness contest. The prize pack this year is a little different – five grand prize winners will win special packages valued at $500 of various Power Rangers toy line items – like Legacy, Dino Charge, and Dino Super Charge toys and roleplay items!

Check out the official video below!

Begin voting today at www.MegazordMadness.com today! You can vote once a day and enter to win one of the grand prizes! Special note … there are some inconsistencies on the voting akin to last year’s famous hacking that led to vote reversals. We reached out to Bandai America regarding some of these discrepancies (once again it would appear that anything relating to Jason David Frank‘s characters are losing by THOUSANDS of votes, while other votes barely have two thousand votes total) and received a response that they are aware of the situation.
