Bandai’s first exclusive for the massive fandom gathering known as “San Diego Comic Con” has just been revealed thanks to Toys R Us!

Lord Zedd is the self-proclaimed “Emperor of Evil” and “enemy of all that is good and decent.” With multiple points of articulation and a muscular design, this figure is perfect for play or display! Comes with collectible legacy packaging styled after the original figures.

How this figure differs from the previously-announced Lord Zedd action figure (tentatively scheduled for Fall 2014 release) remains to be seen.

Zedd will be available to SDCC attendees at Entertainment Earth, Booth #2324! Stay tuned to TokuNation for more price & purchase details!

The boys are back from their crossover adventure with the release of Episode 12 – Lord Zedd Interview and Talkin Dino Charge! Talk some toku with your hosts Chris/Kickback, Jordan/Den-O, and Tom/Sentai Tamashii! In this week’s episode, Chris conducts the first ever Talkin Toku Interview with none other than Robert Axelrod, the voice of Lord Zedd from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Special thanks to Denver Comic Con for helping set up and coordinate a time and place for the interview. Chris also shares his thoughts on Denver Comic Con.

To round off the episode the guys keep the topic on Power Rangers, and more specifically discuss a couple of Power Rangers Monday articles – namely what do we want to see adapted in to Power Rangers Dino Charge from Kyoryuger and what else would we have liked to see adapted from Super Sentai in general in to Power Rangers? It’s a fun conversation as our hopes for a great season with Power Rangers Dino Charge especially with Judd Lynn at the helm show up in the conversation. Take a listen to the episode below and join in the discussion!

Courtesy as always of @razzle1337 on twitter, we have some more new Power Rangers toy images!

On the Dino Charge side of things we have our very first look at the upcoming Dino Charge rangers 6-pack! But wait! That’s not a Gold Ranger in the 6th spot, but instead a villain. Astute fans of Kyoryuger will no doubt recognize this character as Dogold from the Deboss Army and understand why he’s been included in this set. His Power Rangers counterpart name has yet to be confirmed. Also included is the combined team weapon also yet to be named (Kentrospiker in Kyoryuger). And we also catch a glimpse of the Dino Charge Red Ranger mask from the Ranger Training set!

For Super Megaforce there’s actually quite a few new images to behold!

  • All of the Wave 4 Ranger Keys packs. Mighyt Morphin, Operation Overdrive, Alien Rangers, Jungle Fury, Dino Thunder, RPM!
  • 12″ figures of Megaforce Red & Super Megaforce Silver Rangers.
  • Ultimate Legendary Megazord 3-pack! This massive 3-pack will contain the Legendary Megazord, Q-Rex Megazord, & Turbo Falconzords all needed to create the final Ultimate combination!

These images are a bit grainy for the time being but you can bet that we’ll be seeing these upcoming items at San Diego Comic-Con. And of course remember that TokuNation will be there on the show floor covering all of your tokusatsu needs! Be sure to follow the whole TokuNation news team:

Thanks to @razzle1337, he has found the first image of the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Morpher with 20 Keys item listed in Toys’R’Us computers! The good news is that this set comes with some of the female Ranger Keys that people have been wanting. The bad news is the price of this item – it’s listed at $79.99, almost guaranteeing this set to be one of the more victimized items in the ominous “key theft” that has been occurring to Super Megaforce products nation wide. Here’s the breakdown on the keys that we can decipher from this blurry image.

  • Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow Super Megaforce keys
  • Red, Blue, Black, Pink, Yellow Megaforce keys
  • Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow Samurai keys
  • Red, Black, Blue, Pink, Yellow Mighty Morphin keys

We will most likely see an image of this at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, of which TokuNation will be covering in full force like never before!  Be sure to check out raz‘s blog, Razzle’s Dazzles, for all your Power Rangers toy info.  Join in our discussion – do you plan to pick this item up?  Is it worth it?  Chime in!

Thanks to raz for pointing out the other day the details of the upcoming Legacy Tigerzord and Legacy Saba Sword – but many continued to remain skeptical. Thanks to the power of the Internet, we have the actual listing available from PreviewsWorld.com. Check it out below.

Obviously, our expectations are that this item will be at this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2014 in some way, shape, or form. The good news for our readers – like last year, TokuNation.com will be at the show room and on the floor before anyone else, giving you full coverage with pictures, video, live tweets, live video feeds, interviews, and more.

Am0ng their reveals for November Tamashii Webshop exclusives, Bandai have surprisingly announced a Figuarts ZERO version of the ever popular Dragon Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger (or if you’d prefer, the Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)!

This non-poseable statue features the character in his Zyusouken playing pose, with Dragon Ranger standing atop a rocky display base. It will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in November for the price of 4860 yen.

Last week came the revelation that the Power Rangers Legacy toyline is far from over.  It was thanks to @razzle1337 on twitter that we learned of the existence of these upcoming items. Now we’ve got a little more clarity for what these upcoming items will be like. Updated info from Raz via TRU’s computer system indicates:

Legacy Movie 5” Figure – $16.99
– Assortment# 97020
– Toys R Us Item Number# 207678
– 6 Figure UPC’s found
– Figures from MMPR Movie
– Replicate original packaging
– Includes 1 battle gear item
– Assortment includes Ivan Ooze

Legacy Saba – $99.99
– Assortment# 97165
– Toys R Us Item Number# 206345
– Highly detailed replica
– Show accurate speaking
– Tiger animatronics
– Die cast
– Lights and sound

White Tigerzord – $79.99
– Assortment# 97205
– Toys R Us Item Number# 207708
– Die cast
– Zordbuilder compatible
– Morphs with MMPR Dragonzord

 

These juicy tidbits reveal that not only will we be getting at least 5  Power Ranger from the original theatrical film but also Ivan Ooze! Though it’s curious that Ivan would be in the assortment but there would be only 6 UPC’s total, 1 ranger may be left out in the initial assortments then. 

Legacy Saba will feature diecast as well as animatronic features for his mouth ensuring total accuracy.  And this new batch of info brings confirmation that the Legacy Tigerzord will feature the zordbuilder system. Love it or hate it the system appears to be here to stay. The information provided even specifically alludes to the Tigerzord’s ability to combine or “Morph” with the Dragonzord!

Our Power Rangers Monday segment continues! Last week, we shared with you our Top 5 things that were not adapted from Super Sentai and got a lot of great responses. It’s always fun to take a look at the “what if”, as many fans who aren’t dedicated followers of Super Sentai had no idea about Gosei Green or the entire scenario revolving around Shinken Brown. Thanks for your feedback and for enjoying the article!

For this week’s topic, we put up a poll asking you to pick which topic we discussed today – and while the vote was close, the one that edged the others was the Top 5 Must Own Power Rangers Toys! This one was a little more challenging to write up because so many of the toys have Super Sentai counter-parts, leaving us to almost have to focus exclusively on the action figures as opposed to the Megazords. However, we did come up with a list that we feel is pretty awesome.

Before you read in to it – we didn’t include anything from the Legacy collection or from the S.H. Figuarts toy lines. Why? Because everyone knows that you MUST own those items. They are simply masterpiece quality figures and Megazords that every Power Rangers fan should own. That, honestly, left some slim pickings – we didn’t want to focus on the “rare” as we can do that in a future update (we’re looking at you Gold Lost Galaxy Megazord!). So take a seat, lean back, and fire up your browsers to find these must own Power Rangers toys! Please click “Read More” to begin your adventure!

Bluefin reveals their 2nd exclusive offering for SDCC this year via facebook. As hinted at by company representatives from NYCC last year, it’s the S.H.Figuarts Armored Black Ranger from the MMPR exclusive episode an “Oyster Stew”.

The footage used for this episode is part of the “Zyu2” run of episodes. Saban had licensed Toei to film new material with new monsters to be used exclusively in Power Rangers episodes because Saban had already cycled through the available material. This powered up form appears once and only in Power Rangers despite being from Japanese footage. Currently there’s no word on pricing.

UPDATED: From Raz himself we now have images of the listed names for these items as well as prices from the TRU computer system!

A major reveal is on the horizon. Courtesy of @razzle1337 on twitter, we have our first news of new upcoming Power Rangers Legacy items! According to Raz:

  • Legacy Tigerzord – $79.99
  • Legacy Saba – $99.99
  • Legacy 5″ Movie Figures – $16.99 Each

As has become tradition these items likely come from the Toys ‘R’ Us computer system. Though for now we have no images of the figures themselves. If a Legacy Tigerzord is indeed happening then would a Legacy Thunder Megazord be far behind?

And as for Legacy 5″ Movie figures, a listing such as this is years too early to reference the upcoming joint film project between Saban Brands & Lion’s Gate. What these most likely are, are 5″ figures based on the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theatrical movie! For the first time in 20 years we’ll finally have new product based on the original film!

So will we see these next month at SDCC? Possibly. Or will we see them at later date in the TRU computer system? This is just as likely. Be sure to stay with us as we update you in this developing story!
