The power rangers have returned for another week of Let’s Watch Wednesdays at TokuNation! On a darker adventure than they expected this week, the rangers encounter a new enemy…

On a distant planet searching for Zordon, an old foe of Ecliptor and a new one for the rangers appears, Darkonda! A double crossing bounty hunter, what are Darkonda’s motives for working with Astronema? And how exactly he knows the princess of evil, even she isn’t aware. But the bigger question remains, what secrets can Darkonda be hiding from his new allies and the rangers? What does he know of Ecliptor’s past? When and  how will he betray him? And what dose he know about Karone? All of these burning questions and more will begin to be answered this week on Power Rangers In Space!

Rocket Powered Reading #4
This week we take another look at what makes Power Rangers In Space a little more unique from it’s sentai counterpart Denji Sentai Megaranger. The first episode we’re vieing thisweek, #13 Grandma Matchmaker, is actually a bit more of a mashup than you might realize. The footage for this episode actually originates from Megaranger 28!

The crazy thing about this episode is that in Megaranger the central focus of this footage was Mega Silver AKA the upcoming Silver Space Ranger. The episode was edited and reshot with a decent amount of new US footage to re-incorporate Ashley into it as the original episode features Mega Yellow only briefly. The scenes with the Quadro Blaster and Mrs Hammond driving the police cruiser are notably some of the footage used to pad out this transition.

Dino Cycle Charger! Engage! Energize!

TokuNation is ready to present the final of a trio of Power Rangers Dino Charge galleries. At long last we’re ready to show off the Dino Charge Dino Cycle with Blue Ranger gallery!

Just like the Dino Cycle with Black Ranger this one differs from the initial offering with a new alternate blue and silver paint scheme to really set it apart. Though not a color scheme that appears in the Kyoryuger source footage nor one we’re likely to see in Dino Charge, this Dino Cycle helps add a bit of variety to the line and to your collection. Of course like the previous two Dino Cycles this one can still separate into it’s 2 unique Deinonychus components as well as accommodate 5″ Power Rangers figures. And the Dino Cycle also incorporates the Zord Builder system! Best of all is that if you’ve been after the elusively expensive and rare Deinochaser toy, the Dino Cycle is a great stand-in that even scales well with your S.H. Figuarts Kyoryugers! Though one in these particular colors may not be for every collector.

Nininininininininininininini Ninninger!

The crew of Talkin Toku is back yet again with an action packed episode promising to dull your senses and cause you regret! Join Chris “Kickback”, Jordan “Den-O”, and Tom “Sentai Tamashii” for this trip down toku discussion lane!

Did you get your S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms figure yet? We did – and we’re not happy. Listen to us rant about what all three agree is the worst quality controlled product to come out of Tamashii Nations in quite awhile. We also discuss Power Rangers Dino Charge toys – namely the Dino Charge Megazord – and whether or not we think it’s a good toy and what, if anything, it has over it’s predecessor the Legendary Megazord from Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

EXCLUSIVE! Tom fails at being a good administrator at a leading tokusatsu website community. The plus side? You get to hear his reaction to the first image of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger during the podcast. What does he think? This is actually a pretty neat thing because how often does a fan of Super Sentai have their first reaction to the new series recorded? Check it out, it’s a pretty fun listen. We also touch on speculation of the upcoming series including what our thoughts are on possible henshin devices and so forth. And marbles. That’s right – marbles. Tom talks marbles. I can’t make this up if I tried. Just listen.

Power Rangers Dino Charge had the theme song and the smart phone app come out. Does it get the seal of approval from the guys? What about the theme song – what works, what doesn’t work, and does it hold up? Tom gives his $0.02 as he describes his youngest son’s reaction to the theme song.

We also take an in-depth look at the extended episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce as we end our discussion on the series that seems to have divided part of the fandom in terms of “IT SUCKS” versus “IT KIND OF SUCKS”. What parts of the extended episode were good? Which were unnecessary? And was it really as special as we all thought it was? Jordan gives his rundown on why he feels it was a lackluster extended battle, while Chris and him get in to it about one of the more fandom-popular moments of the extended Legendary Battle.

Finally – we talk some Toku Toy Box giveaway as the episode ends. Have you registered on TokuNation.com yet and posted in the eligible threads so you can win? You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, but don’t miss your chance at entering in each qualifying thread!

Enjoy! Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

Thanks to our friends over at Rangercrew we have yet another look at the forthcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie figure range due for release sometime next year. Previously seen at New York Comic Con, these official Bandai press photos give us a better look at the accessories that will be included with each figure. However for reasons unknown the White Ranger movie figure is missing from this set of images.

Fans of the movie will be pleased to know that Red and Yellow Rangers will come with alternate heads for their Power Scope and Power Beam abilities, which were entirely unique to the film. With the Pink Ranger figure previously revealed to have the Pterodactyl Thunder Whip, hopefully this will mean the Blue Ranger will have his Stega Stinger grappling device. Meanwhile Ivan Ooze will come with an alternate hand holding the flute used to destroy the Command Centre near the beginning of the film.

We’ll bring you more news about these highly anticipated figures’ release as it comes, but in the meantime check out these new images after the jump!

Let’s rocket into another week of Power Rangers In Space on Let’s Watch Wednesdays!

The Phantom Ranger has returned! On a quest to save Zordon from the clutches of Dark Specter, Phantom Ranger has encountered Divatox’s forces! Sending a distress message to the Space Rangers the Phantom has discovered Zordon’s location. Unable to rescue Zordon himself and badly injured, Phantom Ranger now holds the key to an even greater power for the rangers. The Delta Megaship! And the rangers have a couple other problems on their hands too! If it’s not Sting King & Waspicable, then it’s another of the Professor crazy inventions, the Evilyzer! Facing a horde of Astronema’s monsters it’s time to call on the power of the Astro Delta Megazord!

Rocket Powered Reading #4

This week sees the introduction of an incredible piece of Power Rangers history & technology as well. Brief though it was, Episode 10 of Power Rangers In Space “The Delta Discovery”, not only saw the rangers receive the power of the Delta Megazord, but also the device used to control it. The Battlizer!

Battlizer of course refers to the numerous devices used throughout the Power Rangers franchise which have allowed various rangers (mostly Reds) to access a Battlized mode. Though we’ll see exactly how important this item is specifically to In Space in later episodes it’s legacy is unforgettable. Often a term more associated with the specific power ups/armors certain rangers have received over the years, Battlizer in this case references the device worn by Andros. Though it would later allow him access to his own Battlized Mode as well.

An interesting new announcement from TVShowsOnDVD.com! Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is receiving a complete series DVD release!

The massive spaceship Terra Venture represents mankind’s greatest accomplishment. The giant spacecraft hosts multiple habitat domes with diverse environments ranging from a lake to a mountain range – even a dome with a sprawling city inside – as it takes thousands of human pioneers deep into space to settle a new world. Along the way they are stalked by dangerous aliens led by the insect-like villain Scorpius and his daughter Trakeena. Rising to protect the colony ship and its many inhabitants, a team of Power Rangers from different walks of life unites to become the Galaxy Rangers.

 

While Lost Galaxy has been available thanks to the Shout! Factory Morphin Legacy boxset, this option will be much more affordable for casual fans- costing a mere 24.95 USD for five discs! Power Rangers Lost Galaxy will be available March 10!
