This day just continues to charge up! TokuNation forum member GoseiWonder has just come across yet another new piece of merchandise from the Power Rangers Dino Charge! The Dino Cycle with Black Ranger figure!

This Dino Cycle, a variation on the standard yellow/black cycle, was found in the St Cloud MN Toys R Us location. Luckily for us GoseiWonder was kind enough to not only take an image of it on the shelf, but also snap an image for the back of the packaging giving us our first glimpse at how the Cycle splits in two, as well as the other 2 color variations with rangers, and stock images showing off how the Dino Charge Megazord interacts with the rest of the line!

GoseiWonder was also kind enough to take a brief video showcasing how the Dino Charger included with the just release Para Zord works!

Let the hunt begin!

Our buddy raz has been watching the Toys’R’Us computer systems and learned the other day that the first shipment of Power Rangers Dino Charge toys would be arriving at some stores this week. After a phone call to one of the stores, Toys’R’Us in Mentor, OH, raz has confirmed that they have a couple of the Dino Zords out for sale. The other big news is that we finally have a name for two of the zords!

 

  • Raptor Zord (the Green Ranger‘s zord)
  • Para Zord (the Black Ranger‘s zord)

If you’re in the area what are you waiting for? Go get those new toys! It would also appear that the first shipment of toys for those in the west coast and southwest are not far behind – raz has stated that the toys are in the distribution center ready to go! Get ready – it’s time for Power Rangers Dino Charge!

Rocket Powered Reading #2
Let’s take a look this week at one of the central villains of In Space, Dark Specter. As you may or may not have noticed by now Dark Specter bears a strong (100% identical) resemblance to another past foe of the rangers. Maligore from, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. That’s because the Maligore costume was simply reused for Dark Specter, though Specter could speak and was quoted as being substantially more powerful. At least once within the show’s continuity this resemblance was remarked upon by Divatox, who herself almost wed Maligore in the Turbo movie.

Blatant costume reuse of this nature doesn’t happen quite that much these days but it’s fun to notice. Off and on over the years various re-releases of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie have even featured the Maligore/Dark Specter image in the background of the DVD cover as well. This is itself even more odd as the central villain of that film was Ivan Ooze.

It’s time for another episode of the Talkin Toku Podcast! After a brief, unplanned hiatus, Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom are back to discuss all things tokusatsu!

The boys start the show off by discussing the revelations of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger and quickly morph themselves in to a deep conversation about Ressha Sentai ToQGer and whether or not TeiOh (the final mech from the show and toy line) is the final culmination of everything wrong with the show and the toy line.

The boys then discuss the Tamashii Nations Event – the things they can’t wait for, the things they were surprised to see, their favorite toku and non-toku item of the show. Can you guess before you listen which item each host is eagerly anticipating? We bet you can’t!

Jordan and Tom discuss everything Kamen Rider Drive from the premiere to current while Chris disappears to eat dinner. Do they like the show? Dislike the show? Does it compare to Kamen Rider Gaim? Should it even be compared? Listen in and find out!

On to a serious topic – the revelation of the USA edition of the Tamashii Web Shop, meaning items only available from middlemen in the past may be ordered direct on the US side from the shop. If it comes to that, what does that mean for Bluefin Tamashii Nations? The guys get in to a very deep conversation about Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Bluefin Distro Group, Bandai Japan, Bandai of America, and even bring in the world of Transformers to make their case for the conversation. If you’ve ever had an interest in some of the inside workings of why certain toys are released or why their colors don’t match up to their source material, listen to this segment!

The show ends with the guys discussing what’s coming next for TokuNation.com as well as some Halloween moments as Chris and Tom dressed up as Power Rangers for the festivities. We also announce our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway – you don’t want to miss this year’s stuff!!
