The original trio of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back together for the first time in a month! Join Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu)) in their latest adventure of discussing all things tokusatsu! The last time the group was together was before events like NJCC and LexCon, and now that they’re together, they spend some time remembering the conventions. Listen to Tom’s story of how he missed purchasing a holy grail for his collection by a matter of minutes! Find out what Steve Cardenas (Rocky, Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger #2, Zeo Blue Power Ranger) did to troll Jordan at LexCon!

Gears shift as the crew then discusses the recent developments on Kamen Rider Gaim. What was everyone’s most “OMG” moment when watching the show? What are their thoughts on DJ Sagura? The trainbow is tasted once more as Tom and Jordan discuss the Shadow Line extensively with Ressha Sentai ToQGer and Jordan makes a bold prediction for just who ToQ #6 will end up being! Finally, Chris gushes over the episode “Spirit of the Tiger” from Power Rangers Super Megaforce. But, as with anything Power Rangers related, someone ends up hogging the spotlight as the crew discusses, for the last time in a public format, the entire debacle that was Morphin Madness Round 3.

For those who were caught up heavily in Morphin Madness, this is your chance to get the scoop behind the controversial Twitter campaign with the hash tag #NoMoreTommy from the creator of that movement himself – Jordan. What was the real purpose behind it? Was there any spite attached to it, and if so, why? Jordan reveals all this episode. Check out the episode details below and take a listen for yourself!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties with the audio on this podcast. The problem has been identified and will be corrected going forward, but sadly the original source for the audio is lost forever, meaning the only way you can hear this episode is through the current quality. After spending a few days trying to fix the audio from the source material, the decision was made by all three hosts to release the episode because, honestly, we thought it was a pretty damn good episode. We do apologize for the lackluster quality of the audio and hope you will still give the episode a listen. Again, future episodes will not have this problem.

The good people at RangerCrew have been closely following the recent casting details for 2015’s “Power Rangers Dino Charge.”

A casting sheet released today lists the Executive Producer of this new series as “Judd Lynn,” a veteran Power Rangers writer responsible for a number of fan-favorite seasons (Lynn was primary story editor for Power Rangers from the second half of Turbo through Time Force & returned again for the latter half of RPM). This may be the first indication that Dino Charge will be working with a different production crew & potentially an exiting new direction for Power Rangers!

In addition the available casting page reveals biographical details for EIGHT Dino Charge Rangers (a high amount for Power Rangers fans, surprisingly low for fans of Dino Charge’s source material, Kyoryuger). Could these details provide an accurate description of the 2015 Heroes? Only time will tell!

Time for one last Titanium Powered gallery from TokuNation!

One last reminder, everyone’s favorite Power Rangers are fighting it out in Saban’s Morphin Madness competition! And the one and only Titanium Ranger is still going strong in the final round!  If he wins, he along with 4 other winning rangers will become part of a special edition Ranger Key Set! Before you take a look at this gallery in honor of Titanium Ranger, be sure to head over to Morphin Madness and cast a vote for him!

Today we take a look at something truly unique, much like Titanium Ranger himself. It’s the Titanium Crawler! This deluxe zord type vehicle is from the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue toyline, though it has no in show counterpart. It’s based around the same design as the Lightspeed Red Mobile Armor but with it’s own crawler vehicle mode. Designed by PLEX this vehicle was considered heavily for an actual appearance in show. But due to the budget of Lightspeed being strained by the other original already introduced (Trans-Armor Cycle, Mobile Armor, Titanium Ranger, etc) it’s appearance was thrown out,  it exists only in toy form. 

Check out the full gallery of the Titanium Crawler after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And Be sure get over to Morphin Madness and #VoteTitanium!

Here’s a blast out of the past brought to you by our photo guru conundrum! It only seems fitting that with the Mighty Morphin White Power Ranger in the final round of Morphin Madness that we feature this…interesting…figure from the days of Gosei Sentai Dairanger. Behold, the Yutaka Kiba Ranger Role Play set!

For those asking, “What the F is Yutaka?” … Yutaka was a branch of Bandai of Japan formed from the remnants of Shinsei Manufacturing created in 1990 and closed down back in 2003. Their primary focus was cost-affordable role play items for the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series in Japan. This gallery is of Kiba Ranger from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, or better known to the rest of the world as the Mighty Morphin White Power Ranger.

While not the most eloquent looking figure with very limited articulation (it still might rival ToQOh though…), the sculpting on Byakkoshinken (aka Saba) looks very impressive. To check out the full review and gallery by conundrum, simply click right here or on the ”Discuss on TokuNation forums link at the bottom of the post.

Before you spend absurd amounts of money for this figure, buyer beware and check out the review! And don’t forget to take the time to go to MorphinMadness.com to vote for the Mighty Morphin White Power Ranger! #VoteWhiteRanger

The auditions for the next cast of Power Rangers, known as Power Rangers Dino Charge (based off the recently-finished Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) have been posted and are available to view at our good friends at RangerCrew.com. Come take a read and see how Kyle and Sarah interact. It’s important to note that casting sides are not indicative of what the final names for characters will be, nor do they hint at any type of story that the show will be focusing on. They are simply used to get actors and actresses to act a certain scene, usually to help the casting directors decide who is suited for a second round for what they’re really looking for.

Again, to check out the casting side, head over to this thread at RangerCrew.com. A special thanks to @Morphin_K on Twitter and our good buddy Fury Diamond.
