Friend of the site Fury Diamond has been attending the Licensing Expo 2014 and sharing a ton of pictures and information with us regarding Power Rangers Dino Charge. He’s shared details of the promotional marketing video for Power Rangers Dino Charge, and you can find a detailed run-down of the video by clicking here. Some fans may be curious why the video isn’t being posted – it’s mostly because the Licensing Expo isn’t meant to be a press gathering. True, a lot of information about future products are revealed at the Licensing Expo, but certain details are not necessarily meant to be released to the mass public.
Either way – included in the video is a brief screen capture of some of the Power Rangers Dino Charge figures for 2015. We see the Dino Charge Megazord (yes, the triceratops looks purple and is supposed to be pink but at this time it’s hard to say if that’s painted purple or if it’s just the power of optical illusion), the Dino Charge Morpher, a Dino Charge battery accessory (NOTE: notice that it’s a Ranger instead of a dinosaur?), and what appears to be the Red Dino Charge Ranger in 5″ figure size and form. Interesting! Check out the picture below courtesy our friends from RangerCrew.com!
We know – the more you look the more purple you see. We’ll most likely get a much closer look at the Dino Charge Megazord at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Be sure to check out RangerCrew.com for all of their coverage, in specific their SamuraiCast Blog! Are you excited? Are you Charged Up? Join in the discussion!
Our good friend Fury Diamond from RangerCrew.com is hard at work at this year’s Licensing Expo to bring us the first look and first official information on next year’s series Power Rangers Dino Charge! We’ve included one image of suit actors at the show, but for the rest of the pictures we ask that you please head over to the official blog of RangerCrew by clicking this link here.
The official story line is as follows:
The Power Rangers franchise return with brand-new “dino charged” action. On prehistoric Earth, an alien entrusted powerful Energems to 12 dinosaurs for protection but when the dinosaurs went extinct, the Energems were lost. Now an intergalactic bounty hunter is determine to reclaim the gems and destroy our planet. A new team of Power Rangers must find the lost Energems and use their Dino Charges to power an arsenal of dino-fueled weapons, zords, and Megazords to save the world.
The next series of Power Rangers will be based off of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, which finished airing in Japan earlier this year, though there are some reports that the story will also feature some elements from the series that was skipped, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. What, if any, role that plays has yet to be seen. We will keep you updated with any information as it comes available.
Please make sure to check out RangerCrew.com, Samuraicast Blog, and the official RangerCrew.com Twitter, @RangerCrew to keep up on the updates as they occur. Special thanks again to Fury Diamond for all his hard work!
It’s Monday – that means another Official Power Morphicon guest update! Joining the list of over 90 special guests is the beautiful, one and only Melody Perkins! She played the very iconic role of Astromena in Power Rangers In Space, the Princess of Evil who had a secret past with Andros the In Space Red Ranger. She would return in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy and become the Pink Ranger, making her the first and only series main villain to return and become a Power Ranger in another series (Rick Medina would do the opposite, going from Power Ranger to a main villain in Power Rangers Wild Force to Power Rangers Samurai). But she wasn’t the only guest to attend – check out the list of added guests below!
If you haven’t registered for Power Morphicon then we have some bad news – time is running out! Registration is rumored to close in the next few weeks! Don’t waste any more time – click here to begin your registration process! TokuNation.com as well as the Talkin Toku Podcast will be in attendance at this year’s show as platinum members, giving us front row seats to all panels, events, and early access to the show room!

It’s Monday which means it’s time for another Power Rangers Monday article! Last week, we talked about the Top 5 Things That MUST Be Adapted from Kyoryuger to Dino Charge, and it was a huge hit! Thanks everyone for taking part in the discussion. A lot of you disagreed with our feelings that the overall theme of music should be adapted and it was an awesome discussion on both sides. A lot of you also wanted to see Deathryuger as the Navy Ranger, or rather his 100 Years After adaption of being Kyoryu Navy. Either way it was a lot of fun – and if you missed it, check out the multi-page discussion by clicking here!
This week you voted on our topic of discussion – and you chose for us to discuss the Top 5 Coolest Things Not Adapted From Super Sentai! Not being super-versed in all things Super Sentai, I reached out to our content director Den-O, a self-proclaimed Super Sentai enthusiast, and with his help, came up with a rather fun and interesting list. Please click the “Read More…” option and check out the list we came up with!
Please take a moment and vote on next Monday’s article – we brought over a couple of options from the last poll and added three new options of which they would all be extremely fun to write and research! So vote, discuss, and read on!
Love him or hate him, Jason David Frank continues to be a mover and a shaker when it comes to the world of Power Rangers. Announced today via his Instagram account, the actor who played Tommy Oliver the Mighty Morphin Green and White Rangers, Red Zeo Ranger, Red Turbo Ranger, and Black Dino Thunder Ranger, will be appearing at this year’s San Diego Comic Con courtesy of Saban Brands (the property owners of Power Rangers) and Lionsgate (the studio announced to be behind the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie reboot/remake).
This will undoubtedly begin a wave of speculation – is he appearing simply to promote the brand? Is he appearing because he might actually land a role in the new movie? Saban Brands, along with Bandai of America, have made no mistake that they consider him the greatest Power Ranger of all time – he’s popular, his toys sell like hot cakes, and he remains one of the most fan-demanded characters in every Power Rangers series.
Join in our discussion on the speculation of Jason David Frank and his role, if any, in the new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie. It’s sure to be a wild ride in the discussion forum.
