Let’s rocket! TokuNation users were asked which show they wanted to see next and they’ve answered! Power Rangers In Space is the next installment of Let’s Watch Wednesdays! 

With the beginning of this series we need a little back story from the last one. Power Rangers Turbo saw our heroes take a number of loses in it’s finale. With the Command Center destroyed the Turbo Zords annihilated & the Turbo Ranger powers gone, and leaving Justin behind, TJ, Cassie, Ashley, Carlos, & Alpha rocket away from Earth in hopes of finding and rescuing Zordon…..

Now, the old enemies of the Power Rangers are gathering, a new Alliance of Evil is forming, all under the watch of Dark Specter and his evil protege Astronema. Bent on destroying Zordon there’s only one force standing in the way of this alliance, a new Red Ranger! And while our former rangers struggle to find their bearings they’ll cross paths with this new hero and form a fantastic new team, the Space Rangers! But before this fledgling team of rangers really gets off the ground they’ll have a run in with some heroes of an entirely different nature. the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Rocket Powered Reading #1

Bringing back out informational segment we begin this week with some background on this series. Power Rangers In Space was the final season in what would come to be known as the “Zordon Era”. The era in which the Power Rangers derived their guidance, powers, zords, and weaponry in one form or another from this legendary mentor and his direct associates. As you’ll find out when we approach the end of this series there’s a good reason why this season marks the end of that era.

It is now November and that means that Power Rangers Dino Charge figures will be hitting Toys’R’Us shelves later this month, confirmed to us at NYCC 2014 by Bandai of America. With a full blown release maybe a month and a half away from all stores, the first images of figures are beginning to pilfer out.

Our good buddy raz managed to locate the first image of the Armored Might Red Ranger from the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge toy line. He found it via the Target system. You can check out the finding by clicking here.

Be sure to follow @razzle1337 on Twitter and check out his blog Razzle’s Dazzles to keep up with the rest of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge toy news and toy hunting.

Our journey with Kamen Rider Den-O ended last week and it’s time to finalize the community choice for our next segment. As we announced a few weeks ago the poll to decide the next Let’s Watch Wednesdays exclusively features 5 Power Rangers seasons as choices!

Voting has been pretty intense so far and our two front runners are currently tied. Voting to decide our next segment will remain open through Friday October 31st (Happy Halloween!) at 11:59 PM. At that time the show with the most votes will be our new segment set to begin next Wednesday November 5th.

Click discuss on the TokuNation Forums at the bottom of this post to be taken to our poll thread. There you’ll be able to choose from the 5 following options!

  • Power Rangers In Space
  • Power Rangers Zeo
  • Power Rangers Time Force
  • Power Rangers Jungle Fury
  • Power Rangers Lost Galaxy

Obviously with no new show chosen as of today there is not a new Let’s Watch Discussion to be posted. But perhaps use this time to catch up on those last couple of Den-O movies we had at the end, or get your regular weekly toku fix of Ressha Sentai ToQger & Kamen Rider Drive!

That time of year has rolled around once again! It’s the second annual Titanium Ranger Day! October 28th 2013 started it all when our good friend Fury Diamond of Rangercrew got together with Bandai Cards to help promote the Titanium Ranger with the official reveal of his Power Rangers ACG Card and a live chat with his actor Rhett Fisher! 

What began as a simple day of appreciation for the character has grown to be much more than that. Not only did Titanium Ranger make his way into the ACG with his own card, but he was 1 of the final 5 rangers selected in the Morphin Madness competition,  he was recently featured in an exclusive Power Morphicon 2014 Ranger Key Pack, had a 5″ Super Megaforce Legendary Ranger figure produced of him, AND made it into the finale of Power Ranger Super Megaforce with the returning Legendary Rangers!

As the first ranger ever to be solely featured in Power Rangers (Lightspeed Rescue) with no sentai counterpart for his basis, Titanium Ranger is one of the most unique creations in the entire Power Rangers franchise. Appreciation for the Titanium Ranger & the actor who portrayed him, Rhett Fisher, has been on the rise for years now and it can’t be any coincidence that the character has gotten so much love this year alone at the height of the Power Rangers recent 25th anniversary. And we here at TokuNation are proud to celebrate another Titanium Ranger Day!

Following the same pattern for the Legacy Dragonzord, it was announced today that the Legacy Tigerzord and Legacy Saba items will be exclusive to the A1 Toys store in the United Kingdom.

The good news? That these items are going to be available! The bad news? Well, our UK fans aren’t happy about the prices. Currently being listed at £89.99 for the Legacy Tigerzord, and a whopping £129.99 for the Legacy Saba. What are your thoughts? Sound off in our discussion thread linked to the article.

This is a HUGE announcement. Bandai of Japan and Tamashii Nations have just revealed their joint Tamashii Web Shop venture for western markets! A brand new website which will offer Web Exclusive figures and products to English speaking western markets!

We got an inside scoop about this piece of news on the ground at New York Comic-Con earlier this month. Sadly that news was not public at the time so we had to keep a tight lid on things. But today this new Tamashii Web Shop has not only been revealed to the world, but is in fact already active! Though only 1 item is currently up for pre-order you can be sure that more items will begin to be listed in the coming days and weeks.

This is a huge step forward for western fans importing figures from Japan. Though this new web shop is so far only limited to those residing in the US & Canada it’s a pretty significant step in the collector toy market. Time will tell how far this goes.

TokuNation forum member Raz has uncovered some interesting new Power Rangers Dino Charge items in Toys R Us’ computer system . Please be aware all details are unconfirmed at the time of this writing. Official releases may vary from our early speculations.

 

The items of particular interest in these new Dino Charge toy listings include-

2 new Basic Gear Items:

42039 Gold Ptera Morpher 
42040 Gold Ptera Saber 

One new Megazord:

32097 Ptera Charge Megazord 

Another wave of 5-inch action figures:

42209 Gold Ranger
42210 Graphite Ranger
42211 Armor On Red Ranger 
42212 Armor On Blue Ranger
42213 Armor On Pink Ranger
42214 Armor On Green Ranger
42215 Armor On Black Ranger
42216 Sledge 
42217 Ptera Charge Megazord

The Gear &  new Megazord likely belong to the Dino Charge Gold Ranger. The Graphite Ranger could be the American name for supporting character KyoryuGrey. The action figure Sledge is likely an enemy character (perhaps a member of the Deboss Legion).

In addition, listings apparently confirm that the Dino Charge toyline will contain 60  Dino Chargers (which seems to be the American name for Kyoryugers’ Zyudenchi). Which Chargers will make the transfer to this new series? Only time will tell!

TokuNation broke the news to the world back in July that Shout! Factory would be bringing Zyuranger to the US in the form of a complete Series DVD set. Now only a few short months later we have the first look at what that set will be like!

Revealed via Brian Ward’s twitter account (@BWard028) is our first look at the Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger DVD cover! Sporting a “before Power Rangers there was…” line across the top it looks like this set should appeal to both Power Rangers and Sentai fans alike. What are your thoughts on this image? How do you think this DVD set will sell  and what will it mean for possible future sets? Join the discussion after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
