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.

Thanks to Ranger Board, we’ve just found out that Pez has acquired the Power Rangers license and will be releasing official Power Rangers themed Pez dispensers.

The first three Rangers to be receiving this treatment will be none other than Mighty Morphin Red, Black, and Pink and will be coming out on 2016 though no word currently on an exact release date.

Get ready Ranger Nation because it’s about to get wild! With huge special thanks to our friend @BurgundyRanger on Twitter we are excited to spread the news that Power Rangers Dino Charge‘s return date has been changed from August 29th, 2015 to August 22nd, 2015 based on a new television schedule distributed by Nickelodeon.

Does this mean we’ll get Power Rangers Dino Charge – Episode 09 – When Logic Fails a week earlier than anticipated? Or will we get a rerun of Episode 08 to lead in to Episode 09 which was originally marketed as August 29th? Guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Until then, you can feel free to browse our Power Rangers Forum and take part in the episode discussion for the next episode. Why is that up? Because with the power of the Internet, the international release of the next episode of Power Rangers Dino Charge has already happened. And with the power of technology, the full English version of the episode is available as well.

Either way – get charged up and ready to unleash the power because Power Rangers Dino Charge is almost back on!

This allows you to get the registration done and over with and begin saving for all the goodies from the merchandise floor as well as all those delicious autographs from the, what can only be assumed, throngs and throngs of Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and other tokusatsu properties headed to the next Power Morphicon convention.

Power Morphicon 2016 will be taking place on August 12th thru August 14th 2016 at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California. As attendees of last year’s show, I can personally tell you that if you’re a fan of Power Rangers, Super Sentai, or anything tokusatsu related – just imagine a large dealer room full of nothing but tokusatsu toys, actors that are happy to see you and chat with you, voice actors yelling at you in their character’s voice as you walk by, and more friends than you ever thought you could have. You do NOT want to miss this year’s show – especially now that there will be a second hall open to show off a number of never before seen artwork, pictures, and so much more that will only be shown once!

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!

Coming up in just 2 days time is the annual Summer Wonder Fest in Japan. And while generally the tokusatsu offerings of Wonder Fest are limited to a handful relating to Godzilla & Ultraman, this year is quite different.

Japanese company X Plus, known for their amazing Godzilla & Ultraman PVC figures has just teased a release from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, none other than the mighty Daizyujin! Western fans will undoubtedly recognize this machine as the Mighty Morphin ‘Dino’ Megazord!

So far a teaser image of the Daizyujin PVC Figure is all that’s been provided, but based on their previous releases this item will be large and gorgeously sculpted. You can expect many more images of this prototype coming out of Wonder Fest this weekend. And we’ll keep you up to date as we here more about the size, price, and release date!
