The premiere of Power Rangers Dino Charge has come and gone and we’ve been introduced to some of the villains already. The one villain we have yet to really see in action (other than some brief early footage) is the new foot soldier of this season – the Vivix!

Releasing in a wave 1 refresher case assortment, Vivix was released (along with Fury, coming in a future gallery) for fans to begin their attempt at troop-building as we see every season. So how does this figure stand up to the other 5″ figures? You may be surprised at the details on this guy and how much love and care went in to it … aside from the lack of any accessories.

For over a year, the hosts of Talkin Toku have relentlessly shared their negative opinions towards Power Rangers Megaforce and Power Rangers Super Megaforce. To the point that some in the fan community choose not to listen to us because we refuse to accept anything less than GOOD writing, GOOD acting, and GOOD story-telling. We are labeled as “haters”, and “just more people bashing Power Rangers”. To that we say THANK YOU – we refuse to accept something just because the name is slapped on it, and for the last four years that is exactly what we’ve had – poor story-telling, poor acting (from most, not all), poor direction, poor editing, and poor decisions regarding the television program that we all grew up with as kids.

On Saturday, February 7th, kids across the world will be introduced to Power Rangers Dino Charge, the next iteration of the fabled Power Rangers franchise. Returning to helm the show is fan-favorite executive producer Chip Lynn, who many praised before the first episode was even released. Will his presence be felt? Or is Power Rangers now forever destined to be a mere “Google translate” show of Super Sentai?

Join Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, Sentai Tamashii/Tom, and two very special guests – trekkieb47/Eric and baltmatrix/Matt – as we spend over an hour and a half discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly with Power Rangers Dino Charge. Did it live up to the hype? What are our individual thoughts on the episode and the direction of the franchise with this new series? And most importantly (and most shocking) – what did Den-O/Jordan, best known for his utter disdain for all things Power Rangers, feel about the premiere?

You WILL be surprised!

Before we begin the discussion of Power Rangers Dino Charge the group takes a moment to discuss the elephant in the room and the tragic incident regarding Rick Medina, who played the role of Cole Evans the Red Wild Force Power Ranger as well as Dekker in Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai. The question we ask – does Saban Brands react in any way, and if so, how?

NOTE! This episode was recorded before Rick Medina was released from jail with no charges pressed (at the moment, investigation is on-going).

And maybe most importantly, the Twitter trend from the night of the recording and the focus of our episode picture is revealed (to an extent). See the beginning of how five nerds started a brief trend on Twitter within the Tokusatsu community and how it all came to be. Unfortunately, we weren’t recording when everything really took off – but we saved the pictures and they are now available for you to view.

Also – we read your reactions to the premiere from Twitter!

Something isn’t right on this Let’s Watch Wednesdays. The Power Rangers are in for much more trouble than they bargained for this week. Five doppelgangers have appeared. Deadly weapons created to impersonate, hunt, and destroy the Power Rangers, the Psycho Rangers are here!

Seemingly normal rangers at first these twisted creations show their true form soon and threaten to tear the team apart! As they drain the rangers powers, they learn more about them, every time making them more deadly than before! But is this the final depth of their power, or are their true forms even more monstrous than before….

Though Nuremberg Toy Fair ended a few days ago we’re taking one final look at it. Thanks to the fine folks at Atamaii.TV we have a video showcasing the various Power Rangers Dino Charge displays from Bandai!

Though no new or previously un-reported products are displayed in this video we still get a great look at the current line up of Dino Charge product. And we’re sure there will be much more to see at the upcoming New York Toy Fair!

Brave in!

Leading up to the February 7th TV premiere of Power Rangers Dino Charge, TokuNation has prepared another serving of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger for your viewing pleasure! Continuing our new series of Gallery 2.0’s today we’re bring you S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Blue & Kyoryu Green!

These fantastic figures are based on the equally excellent Kyoryu Red mold, though Kyoryu Blue & Green were released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive 2-pack. Because of this they’ve become a bit harder to find for a decent price and have seen a significant increase in demand. But don’t let that deter you. S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Blue & Green share Kyoryu Red’s excellence in accessory count, sculpt, and articulation. It’s like getting a double dose of fantastic figures loaded down with best accessories they could possibly have. But definitely take a look at this gallery if you need some convincing.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but feel free to peruse 80 images of this two pack by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a nother gallery 2.0 as well, S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Black & Kyoryu Pink!
