To all our friends up north – head to Toys’R’Us! The Legacy Dragonzord was spotted and purchased at Toys’R’Us store in Vancouver by ayane from the RangerBoard forums.

ayane also managed to take a ton of pictures of the Legacy Dragonzord. We’ve mirrored all 20 images here for your viewing pleasure. The original images were shared on RangerBoard. NOTE! The head-fin on the Legacy Dragonzord appears bent. This is apparently due to packaging – the plastic wrapped around the fin is too tight. There are many fixes for this and if it turns out to be a mass issue, we’ll share some tips and tricks on how to get it fixed.

Happy hunting!

The boys of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back at it with the release of their 9th episode, Attack of the No No Cat (blame Tom for that one). Join your hosts Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu) as they touch on a number of topics from last week in the world of tokusatsu!

Some of the hot topics discussed – their reactions on the international trailer for the new Godzilla movie, their thoughts on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic from Free Comic Book Day and just why Saban Brands did nothing to promote it (as well as some behind-the-scenes knowledge in the world of comics from our very own Sentai Tamashii, who works a freelance colorist and has done jobs for Marvel, DC, IDW Publishing, and Archie Comics), some good old fashioned toy talk with Kachidoki Arms and S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold, and the usual show talk of Kamen Rider Gaim and Ressha Sentai ToQGer. But there’s even more stuff that’s discussed throughout the episode, including the No No Cat, spooky haunted microphones and/or alien contact, follow up on our last toy debate on Tamashii Nations and Super Sentai Figuarts, and so much more. Take a listen below!

Kickback also discusses the Fruit Henshin Contest and some details of the upcoming crossover episode with our good friends from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast scheduled for later this month. All the show details are below – do us a favor and click “Discuss” and share your thoughts! Till next time!

If you’re a fan of Power Rangers then you probably already know about the Official Power Morphicon Convention, which is the official Power Rangers convention held every other year in Pasadena, California. The next show is August 22nd through the 24th, 2014 at the Pasadena Convention Center in, obviously, Pasadena, California. This is the fourth Power Morphicon and is shaping up to be the largest, most impressive Power Morphicon to date! Touting the most special guests ever (81 as of the time of this posting), this is the show you do NOT want to miss!

On Monday, the official convention page updated with four new guests! We have them listed below!

  • Rajia Ann (“Delphine”, Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers White Ranger)
  • David De Lautour (“RJ”, Power Rangers Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger)
  • Ari Boyland (“Flynn”, Power Rangers RPM Blue Ranger)
  • Mark Richardson (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Art Department)

 
But the more delicious information came straight from the mouth of the head guy in charge of Power Morphicon at his other convention, Robo Toy Fest. Our friends at Dan’s Toku Rants had a chance to talk to Scott Zillner. During the conversation, he mentioned that they’re proud to have three complete teams of Power Rangers in attendance – Power Rangers Wild Force, Power Rangers SPD, and Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. Fans who have paid close attention to the show know that half the Rangers from Lightspeed Rescue have yet to be officially announced – does this mean that in the coming weeks we will have announcements for the Lightspeed Rescue Yellow Ranger, Blue Ranger, and Titanium Ranger? Stay tuned…

Scott Zillner also went on to describe some changes in this year’s show from the previous show. For starters, the venue has more than doubled in size – from 24,000 square feet to over 50,000 square feet. There will be 3 on-going panel rooms throughout the show. And he teased some “big surprises”, and to quote, “If you miss Saturday, you will be very sad”. He also announced that the next Robo Toy Fest (December 20th, 2014) will be a Robotech Reunion and have a very heavy focus on Robotech. To get the whole scoop, check out the episode from Dan’s Toku Rants.

TokuNation.com is proud to be attending as a Platinum Member, giving us early access and front-row seats for all the panels and events.

Today proves to be a big news day for the Power Rangers franchise as Saban Brands announces partnership with Lionsgate for a Power Rangers live-action feature film.

No specific details of the project  are mentioned in the press release, other than that “the new film franchise will re-envision the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world.”

The release continues to say:

“Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” said Saban. “They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from The Hunger Games to Twilight and Divergent. In partnership with the Lionsgate team, we’re confident that we will capture the world of the Power Rangers and translate it into a unique and memorable motion picture phenomenon with a legacy all its own.”

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Haim Saban and his team to maximize the potential of this immensely successful and universally recognized franchise,” said Feltheimer. “The Power Rangers stories and characters have been embraced by generations of audiences for more than 20 years, and today they are more powerful than ever. We have the ideal partner and the perfect brand with which to create a motion picture event that will resonate with moviegoers around the world for years to come.”
