Thanks to Fury Diamond of Rangercrew once again for digging around the bowels of the internet to find new press photos of Power Rangers Legacy Titanus! This upcoming figure is expected to be released in Fall 2014 as a Toys ‘R’ Us Exclusive with a suggested retail price upwards of $200. No official order pages have gone up yet but for now enjoy these nice new images of this upcoming behemoth.

As we draw closer and closer to it’s eventual release fans keep wondering when pre-orders actually will go up for Legacy Titanus. We’re still not sure of that, but chances are more information will be available for the figure at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Remember that TokuNation will be on the show floor reporting back everything we see and hear for Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, Godzilla and more! So be on the lookout for Legacy Titanus updates as well!

After the recent string of sightings for the Q-Rex Megazord it seems the last Megazord from the Power Rangers Super Megaforce line is starting to hit store shelves! Spotted & purchase by AbareMax of Rangerboard at Target in South Gate, California, is the Turbo Falcon Megazord!

This last Megazord in the Super Megaforce line is based on the Gokaiger figure Machalcon. The BOA version of the toy seems to opt out of some features from the original in favor of it’s own unique Megazord mode!  When used with the Legendary Megazord you can create the Legendary RPM Megazord! Combine it with the Legendary AND Q-Rex Megazords to form the Ultimate Legendary Megazord!

With this sightings it’s officially time to be on the hunt Ranger Nation, be sure to check your local retailers now!

It’s time to talk some toku with the latest release from the Talkin Toku Podcast – Episode 013 “Why Not Zoidberg?”. Join Kickback, Den-O, special guest hosts baltmatrix and MonkieRanger, as well as two more “surprise” guests as they attempt to talk Kamen Rider Gaim, Power Rangers Dino Charge, and San Diego Comic Con 2014 news and rumors (which have all been debunked as of this morning, hooray!).

Find out what’s going on with all the Zoidberg talk as the gang discusses how to make Power Rangers Dino Charge the best series of all time. There’s an Arms Change missing from Kamen Rider Gaim – and the crew thinks Bill Cosby can fill that void. The gang spends a lot of time discussing the details of the plot of Kamen Rider Gaim leading up to and including Episode 35.

But with a grand total of six hosts on the show at once? You know it’s just going to fall apart. And fall apart it does – but in a way that guarantees you’ll be laughing. Be on the look out for a special video commemorating this episode to be released VERY soon! Take a listen! Stick around till the end for bloopers and things that we cut from the show but decided to include at the end.

Power Rangers Monday is back! Over the course of the 20 year history of Power Rangers, there have been some amazing battles that still stick with us to this day. Some of the more infamous battles over the course of the franchise’s history include things like the Red Ranger fighting the Green Ranger during Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, as well as the White Ranger vs Green Ranger battle from the third season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. And then there’s the team ups – everything from two seasons coming together to the anniversary battles of Forever Red and Once A Ranger.

We decided to dig a little deeper – leaving all the season team up episodes and anniversary episodes behind. Those will always be awesome and may always be in your top 5. So let’s take a look back at some of the other greatest battles in the history of Power Rangers. Ranger up, get yourself ready, and may the power protect you as you read through our list!

The long wait is over! After tons of anticipation and fan demand the mighty Legacy Dragonzord has finally been released! Though it’s been out for a little while now, this sought after piece tends to be hard to come by through regular retail. But TokuNation was lucky enough to get it’s hands on one for a full review & gallery!

The Legacy Dragonzord is of course an update the classic DX Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar toy from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger  toylines! Released at physical retail exclusively through Toys ‘R’ Us this figure is already hard to find much like the Legacy Megazord. Which speaking of, this figure is compatible with the Megazord! The Dragonzord is a fierce machine on it’s own, but combining it with your MMPR 2010 or Legacy Megazords can create the Dragonzord Battle Mode and Mega Dragonzord, the second of which will prepare you for the upcoming Legacy Titanus!

This update to the 20+ year old Dragonzord toy has been long awaited by fans of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and of the original Green Ranger. So how exactly does this figure stack up to the classic? Read on to find out! And as a special mention for this gallery, TokuNation’s newest Photo & Content staff member ThatRangerGuy was kind enough to take a couple of comparison shots of the original DX Dragonzord & Legacy Dragonzord for us.

We’ve assembled a full review & gallery of this latest release in the Legacy toyline for you after the jump. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to over 60 images and a step by step breakdown of this awesome toy!

They teased. They toyed with our emotions. For a couple of years now, Bluefin Tamashii Nations have teased us that they could do a Lord Zedd figure, either as a S.H. Figuarts or a FiguartsZERO. After teasing us that they could, they teased that they had something they were working on. But then time passed by. Over a year after teasing that something was in the works, at Anime Expo this past weekend, they finally delivered on their tease. During a panel regarding current and upcoming projects, a blurry image of Lord Zedd with his iconic throne was shown with the tag FiguartsZERO.

It would appear that all that waiting has finally paid off. After showing the blurry image, they later announced on their Facebook page that everything shown at the panel would most likely be shown in person at this year’s upcoming San Diego Comic Con. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered there (our full coverage begins Tuesday, July 22nd … or basically just about 2 weeks away). Here’s a run down on the news from the panel that pertains to Power Rangers!

  • FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd – more details to come, could be shown at SDCC 2014
  • S.H. Figuarts of other Power Rangers teams – they stated that Bandai doesn’t think there’s currently a series that has an overwhelming demand.  They want to see an overwhelming demand for a series before they could begin working on it.  They’ve asked that we please spam their Facebook page with requests for one of three series – Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers In Space, or Power Rangers Time Force.  Doing so will show Bandai that there’s an overwhelming demand and they can move forward.

This is apparently the year of Lord Zedd!  First he gets a Legacy figure, and now he is apparently getting a FiguartsZERO as well. So let’s talk about it #RangerNation! Is a FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd a must-buy for you? Is it a wait and see? Join in the discussion! Don’t forget to keep your browsers tuned right here for our coverage of this year’s San Diego Comic Con – pictures, videos, interviews, and so much more!
