As we approach the summer months it is with a sad (or thankful) heart that one of the more collected items from the Power Rangers franchise winds down to an end – we’re talking about the popular (and sometimes hard to find) Ranger Keys from the Power Rangers Super Megaforce toy line. With the final wave of exclusive keys being released at Toys’R’Us as well as ToysRUs.com, many fans and collectors are finishing off their key collections. To celebrate one of the more popular gimmicks in the franchise’s long history, we’re spending the rest of the week doing various galleries of the Ranger Keys with a self-proclaimed title of Ranger Key Celebration Week!

First up is none other than one of the last packs to be released – the Power Rangers Samurai Set B pack which contains the Red Samurai Ranger (Translucent), Pink Samurai Ranger, and the Gold Samurai Ranger keys. The only key left out from this team is, sadly, the Yellow Samurai Ranger (and the female Red Samurai Ranger). But getting in to the debate as to why we needed three versions of the male Red Samurai Key is a debate for another time!

Check out over 25 images of this key pack by clicking the link here or by clicking the “Discuss” link at the end of the article! We’ll be throwing up galleries all week – don’t miss it!

Don’t forget to check out all of our past Ranger Key galleries!

See you tomorrow with another Ranger Key Celebration Week gallery!

The epic conclusion to Power Rangers Super Megaforce, the Legendary Battle, is scheduled to release on DVD on August 11th, 2015. This DVD will be the “extended version” edition, which is being labeled as an “Extended Edition Movie”, meaning it will most likely be the version that aired on Nick Toons last year. The “movie” also proclaims to have special feature titled “Power Rangers: A Legacy”, which features fan-favorite interviews with cast and crew while taking a look behind the scenes with the beloved franchise.

With a suggested retail of $14.98, Legendary Battle is set to release on August 11th, 2015. Special thanks to @LinearRanger on Twitter for the news!

Following all the big news last week – what with the reveal of the concept images from the upcoming Power Rangers 2017 Movie and the revelation that PaperCutZ no longer holds the rights to publish any Power Rangers comics, there was a lot of discussion all over the Internet about both topics. So the gang from our very own Talkin Toku Podcast did what any good group of fans would do – they put 8 people in to a single recording session and told them to talk about it.

News broke today that the Power Rangers comic book license is apparently up for grabs. Originally held by PaperCutZ, the publisher released books from Power Rangers Super Samurai and Power Rangers Megaforce, along with a hotly debated couple issues of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (hotly debated because many fans found them to be poorly written and riddled with errors – most notably the Free Comic Book Day issue). This news was broken by one of the artists on the book, Jolyon Yates, who shared on his personal website unpublished pages from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, stating that everything is in publishing limbo as the rights to publish the books are now up in the air.

With a movie coming out in 2017 and some concept images that leaked from said movie creating quite a stir, our thoughts are that Saban Brands would want to get Power Rangers back in to the comic world where comic book and comic book movies are now all the rage. Linked to this story is a poll where we ask you who should get the license to publish Power Rangers comic books/graphic novels, as well as our own thoughts on the likelihood of each company.

Our honest opinion? We’d like to see IDW Publishing take the helm. With their success record with Transformers, Godzilla, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, My Little Pony (the list goes on) they could easily turn it in to a big hit. Imagine two comics – one starring Power Rangers Dino Charge for the kids and one for the more adult fan simply titled Power Rangers expanding the universe and bringing back fan-favorites. What are the Silver Guardians up to? What’s happening on Aquatar and Triforia? What about the Phantom Ranger and the Blue Senturion? The possibilities are endless – just like our imaginations.

If anything breaks on what happens with the license (whether PaperCutZ is able to renew or another company takes it) we will let you know. Join in our discussion and our poll!

Did you notice what today is? It may not seem immediately significant but today is actually the 18th anniversary of the 1st appearance of the Blue Senturion in Power Rangers Turbo! Appearing in the episode “The Millennium Message” at first the Blue Senturion was adversarial to the rangers but went on to fill the role of an extra hero for the team. It’s an oddball anniversary but with the Turbo theatrical movie having celebrated it’s 18th earlier this year, we’ve decided to present a special gallery of the Quick Draw Action Blue Senturion figure to coincide!

The Quick Draw Action Blue Senturion is actually a pretty cool figure. Not only does it feature an interesting gimmick or two in the form of a Quick Draw hand and signal changing, and along with a decent number of accessories for it’s era, it’s one of a very very small number of figures even produced for the Blue Senturion or in fact his Japanese originator Signalman! Neither of these characters has ever really gotten their proper due in collectible figure form but the 6″ Quick Draw figure can fit the bill for either of them!

We’ve assembled a full 40 image gallery of this figure for your viewing after the jump. Trust me, Blue Senturion will be right at home with your 6″ figure collection. While he may have some bulk to him, there’s still a bit of charm there for both Power Rangers and Sentai collectors alike!

The much anticipated Super Power Beat Down by the popular YouTube channel Bat In The Sun featuring the original Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and Ryu from the long and storied Street Fighter franchise has finally been released after multiple delays (due to reshoots, etc.). The story? Ryu is fighting in a backstreet alley because reasons when a new challenger appears to fight him.

The special effects add a nice flavor and the Green Ranger features a brand new costume inspired by the original. Check out the video below and join in our discussion!

We’ve been wondering for months when more updates on the production of the Power Rangers 2016 film reboot would be made public. Earlier in April some news finally trickled out with the reveal of director Dean Israelite helming the project. However today seems to bring more of a set back.

Thanks once again to The Wrap we have details about Lionsgate’s upcoming slate of films & their release dates. As of today we know that the Power Rangers 2016 Film originally slated for a July 22, 2016 release has officially been delayed to January 13, 2017. The change was seemingly made to move the film from a crowded summer 2016 filled with other top box office films.

The power is on for the final time at TokuNation!

We’ve taken a look at 6 figures so far in Bandai of America’s Power Rangers 5″ Legacy Line for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie, and today we wrap up our coverage of this line with the 7th and final figure! Rounding out the 6 movie rangers is the Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie White Ranger!

As with our previously reviewed Movie Rangers this figure marks the first time ever that the Movie White Ranger has been portrayed properly in toy form. Oddly enough, though this figure comes with fewer accessories than all the others, it somehow winds up being the best executed of the set. The Movie White Ranger may not come with much but he does come with his one and only weapon, the trusty talking tiger saber, Saba! We break down the ins and outs of this figure, both positive & negative, in the review after the jump.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but the full gallery thread contains over 40 images! We’ve tried to fully showcase this figure and in fact the entire Legacy Movie lineup with this gallery. In the coming months TokuNation will return with more movie themed galleries as we prep for the 20th anniversary of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie!
