The second exclusive from Bandai of America for this year’s New York Comic Con has also been revealed on the Power Rangers Facebook Page and surprise! It’s another Mighty Morphin Green Ranger exclusive!

This figure (in non-metallic paint) was offered at this year’s San Diego Comic Con but will be available in limited quantities in metallic paint at this year’s New York Comic Con. Pricing has yet to be revealed nor has the number that will be available. If you’re a collector of these Tokyo Vinyl figures then this is probably on your list to pick up.

After Bandai of America had mentioned both at San Diego Comic Con 2014 and Power Morphicon 2014 that they were interested in making a more exciting exclusive for their appearances at New York Comic Con, today they revealed through the official @PowerRangers Twitter account their upcoming New York Comic Con 2014 Limited Exclusive. Fans of the character Tommy Oliver will be ecstatic to see an entire Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ranger Key set of all of the different Power Rangers that famed Power Rangers actor Jason David Frank has portrayed.

This limited set comes with the following Ranger Keys:
– Mighty Morphin Green Ranger
– Mighty Morphin White Ranger
– Zeo Red Ranger
– Turbo Red Ranger
– Dino Thunder Black Ranger

It is important to note that all of these keys are currently available at retail. This set will be released in limited numbers and will most likely run in the $20 price range. When more information comes available we will share it.

Before it was known as Power Rangers Zeo it was Cho-Riki Sentai OhRanger, a series designed to pay homage to old military shows and featured every series head writer for the previous Super Sentai seasons as contributors to the scripts of OhRanger. Sadly, the Aum Shinrikyo terrorist cult attacked the Japanese subway system, releasing tear gas that killed 15 individuals and injured another 30. Their leader’s thoughts closely aligned to what OhRanger‘s story line was intended to be (an ancient civilization giving super powers to people of today) and the show’s direction was scrapped and the series re-written, becoming one of the least successful and least popular Super Sentai shows of its time.

But thanks to Millionfold Curiosity FanSubs, and the ever popular translator MegaAnon, the series Cho-Riki Sentai OhRanger is now being subtitled and released to fans around the world. This is an incredibly excellent chance to catch a series that, as far as I know, was either never subtitled in its entirety or was long ago and has since been lost (or it was just a bad sub/bad quality video).

Click here to go to MillionFold Curiosity FanSub’s release of Cho-Riki Sentai OhRanger! And be sure to discuss your thoughts on this show (which changed themes due to the terrorist attack somewhere around Episode 8 or Episode 9) on our discussion thread linked to this post!

One of the coolest things to come out of the entire Power Rangers fandom over the years is that the kids who grew up watching it are now old enough to begin producing their own work – and a lot of them are! Introducing “Teenagers With Attitude”, a self-funded fan film reboot of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but done in a more modern and (in some cases) realistic setting in regards to the teenagers themselves.

This fan film was written by, directed by, shot by, and edited by Cisco Davis Jr. Check it out below!

I think you’ll agree this was one heck of a fun show. Here’s to hoping Cisco will release a follow up because that is one hell of a teaser at the end! Sound off in the comments your thoughts on Teenagers With Attitude!

TokuNation is continuing a Titanium Powered week of galleries with another winner, Super Legends Titanium Ranger!

Following up on our 5″ Super Megaforce Titanium gallery we wanted to take a look at the first “super” figure of this character. Super Legends was a brief albeit very popular line of roughly 6″ scale rangers (and 1 villain) inserted into case assortments of Power Rangers Jungle Fury & RPM figures. Unfortunately the line ended prematurely when the Power Rangers franchise was cancelled with RPM, but of the figures released Titanium Ranger is one of the best. It fact it’s one of the best figures ever released of the character. Super Legends Titanium Ranger is a must own if you’re a fan of the character at all.

Check out 40 images of this great figure as well as a full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And be sure to stay tuned this week as we bring you images of the long awaited Power Morphicon Ranger Key Set featuring Titanium Ranger & Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger!

It’s time for another episode of Talkin Toku!

Join Kickback, Den-O, Sentai Tamashii, and special guest host Danny as they discuss their thoughts and feelings about the upcoming finale of one of the most well-received toku series in recent memory – Kamen Rider Gaim!

In the toy talk segment they discuss the hunt for Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures at their local Walgreens, as well as their reactions to the Kamen Rider Gaim Overlord weapons in the upcoming release of the Arms Change Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi Arms figure.

Conversation is lost when … well, the graphic in the story will make a lot more sense. Around 20 minutes in the fact we’re unscripted with no clear direction rears its ugly head as conversation changes to Chuck E Cheese?

But take a listen – find out who is right, who is wrong, and who was way off base when the Kamen Rider Gaim live stream airs later this afternoon and releases via sub groups next week!

There’s also a bit of talk about Power Rangers Dino Charge, a small wishlist for the 2015 Super Sentai series, and more stuff!

Enjoy the episode and we’ll see you on the flip side of the series finale of Kamen Rider Gaim in a little over a week!

It’s time for another round of Titanium Power at TokuNation! In honor of the Titanium Ranger’s inclusion in the finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce we’ve got 3 galleries coming up for your viewing pleasure. And the first one is today’s featuring the Super Megaforce 5″ Titanium Ranger from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue!

Having only just made it to retail in the final Super Megaforce 5″ assortments, this figure has been spotted mostly at Walgreen’s. And I was lucky enough to stumble across one. As a massive fan of the Titanium Ranger I had to own this guy to display with all my other Titanium figures. If you have the chance, and can find this guy for retail price, then definitely pick him up to compliment your 5″ ranger collection. You can always use another 6th ranger. And we don’t exactly get figure of good old Ryan Mitchell very often.

We’ll also be bringing you another pair of galleries later in the week for the Power Morphicon Ranger Key set as well as the Super Legends Titanium Ranger! Stay tuned for these upcoming galleries and for now click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see over 30 images of this unique addition to the line as well as a full review!

The Power Rangers film project has lost its Executive Producer.

Screen veteran Roberto Orci has reportedly backed out of the project, choosing instead to devote full attention to Star Trek 3.

Power Rangers is still set to return to theaters on July 22 2016 with a screenplay by Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz. Stay tuned to TokuNation until then as we keep you up to date on any & all production news!

And don’t forget to check out our previous galleries and reviews from this line – the MMPR Green Ranger and Zeo Red Ranger combined gallery/review, as well as the Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger gallery and review!
