Thanks to @TSilentWatcher on Twitter for the heads up, we know that a trademark has been filed by the powers behind Power Rangers for an upcoming television season titled Power Rangers Dino Supercharge. This is easily assumed to be the second season of the upcoming and recently announced Power Rangers Dino Charge.

What are your thoughts on the naming scheme of the second half of Power Rangers Dino Charge? Are you excited for it, or are you tired of the use of the word “super” with everything? Sound off!

It’s time for another trip down memory lane with the original dionsaur sentai. From Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger it’s S.H. Figuarts Armed Tyranno Ranger! This recent Tamashii Web Exclusive release is better known to western fans as the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger, it was released in North American markets by Bluefin in Power Rangers 20th Anniversary packaging.

This figure represents Geki, Tyranno Ranger, after the death of Burai/Dragon Ranger. He inherited the Dragon Ranger powers from his brother and with them control over the mighty Dragon Caesar! This event was interpreted in the US MMPR adaptation as the Green Ranger powers being weakened and requiring a temporary host in the Red Ranger. The real world explanation for this is the above Zyuranger scenario, at the time no more footage was available of the Green Ranger. In the source footage he was literally dead. It wasn’t until the “Zyu2” footage was created by Toei that the Green Ranger could return on temporary occasions.

Overall this figure takes the best elements of both Tyranno & Dragon Rangers and crafts one excellent toy with them. If you have either of the other 2 figures you may feel this one is superfluous. Trust us, it isn’t. It’s another excellent addition to any Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers collection and will complement your other figures well.

The latest promo for Power Rangers Super Megaforce Episode 2 “Earth Fights Back” has a very surprising new element!

As explained by Gosei, the Legendary Powers can also unlock Ranger Forms that were never seen on Earth- specifically, the “DaiRanger” costumes that were passed over during “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” Season 2 and have never been used by Saban before now!

What other surprises might Super Megaforce have in store?? Tune in February 23 and find out!!

If you’re a fan of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers then you might be interested to know that Jason David Frank, who played Tommy Oliver the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has released the first episode of his documentary My Morphin Life through the popular YouTube channel BatInTheSun. The video is shown below. If you’re hoping for some cool behind-the-scenes Power Rangers footage, you’ll be sad to see that there is none. And there looks to be none in the next episode. This series looks to be, for the moment, strictly about the man behind the helmet, Jason David Frank.

NOTE! If you only see a black screen with audio, change the video’s resolution settings, then switch it back to what you want. This will fix the problem immediately.

So what did you think? Are you going to tune in to the next episode of My Morphin Life? What could be added or removed from the show to make it better, or is it pretty awesome as is? Sound off!

A new preview for this weeks upcoming second episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce has just been posted online! Episode 2 “Earth Fights Back” will be out this Sunday February 23rd. But until then enjoy this taste of the episode featuring a brief look at the the SPD Delta Runner Legendary Zord! And of course poor Jake dressed as the Mr. Brainfreeze mascot!

And a brief summary of the episode “While the rest of the team works with the civilians to rebuild their city, Troy stumbles upon a plot by the Armada to launch missiles at major cities throughout the world.”

Thanks as always to the awesome Fury Diamond over at RangerCrew for making this video available online!

While you’re at it check out TokuNation’s full galleries of the Delta Runner and the original DX Pat Striker it’s based on!

Toy Fair 2014 is winding down to a close. With that, there was a lot of news coming out from not only our coverage of Power Rangers, but also our friends Fury Diamond of SamuraiCast Blog and @trekkieb47 on Twitter. This news post should work as a comprehensive listing of all the news that came out for Power Rangers over the last couple of days. Enjoy!

– TokuNation.com’s Booth Coverage of Bandai of America

TokuNation.com was the first in the WORLD to bring you all the brand new images and news regarding a lot of the new Power Rangers merchandise coming out later this year. Fans salivated at the first images of the all new toy Legacy Titanus, geared towards collectors and, of course, able to combine with the Legacy Megazord and Legacy Dragonzord. We also caught glimpse of, arguably, one of the most anticipated figures out of the Super Megaforce toy line – the Armored Might Silver Ranger figure, which uses the Gold Mode Armor version of the figure. The official name of that mode for Power Rangers has yet to be revealed (though staff here has money on it being called “Super Mega Mode” or “Legendary Mode”). We also saw the upcoming 5″ Legacy Power Rangers figures, including some surprises – Titanium Ranger, Lunar Wolf Ranger, and Gold Zeo Ranger. If you haven’t already, click here and check out all 150+ images that we took of the Bandai booth!

Our good friend Fury Diamond of Samurai Cast Blog was also in attendance and took a video of his booth tour from that day. You’ve seen the pictures, now see what a booth tour is actually like!

– TokuNation.com’s Booth Coverage of Megabloks Power Rangers

Aside from Bandai of America, the other big showing for Power Rangers was Megabloks, showing off their latest and upcoming assortments for their Power Rangers Super Megaforce line. In our gallery we saw on-hand images of the Legendary Megazord, the Q-Rex Megazord, the individual zords that make up the Legendary Megazord (including an impressive looking Sky Ship build), as well as seeing some Legendary Power Rangers make their debut in the Megabloks line. Click here to see our Megabloks Power Rangers gallery!

Once again, our good friend Fury Diamond was also in attendance and took video of his time at Megabloks. If videos are more your thing, you’ll enjoy the video below! Check it out!

Finally, on Monday Bandai of America held a Collector’s Event. While your only way to see the booth prior was through scheduled appointments, the Collector’s Event allowed larger groups of individuals to take the same tour in a group, getting their chance to see first-hand the same images that we’ve shown you earlier in the news post. Our good friend and host of the Power Rangers podcast RangerCommandPH, Eric, @RangerCommandPH on Twitter, took video of his experience. Check it out below!

Last but not least, the company Loyal Subjects has some Mighty Morphin Power Rangers themed items coming out soon. Check out the previews of their upcoming items by clicking here to see our gallery!

And as for the text-based side of the news, our own Sentai Tamashii learned a few tidbits about this year’s Power Rangers selection as well as the future of things like Legacy Items, Tokumei Sentai GoBusters, and Fury Diamond was able to get some detailed answers as well! They are listed below for you!

– Legacy items will continue in 2015 and be brand new items
– Legacy Titanus will retail for $200 (confirmed by Fury Diamond, reported long ago by raz)
– Tokumei Sentai GoBusters was skipped in favor of adapting Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger due to an overall lack of profitability of the GoBusters line in Japan
– There are only 60 Ranger Keys planned for retail release in Power Rangers Super Megaforce (Fury Diamond)
– Additional Ranger Keys can and most likely will be offered through future conventions (San Diego Comic Con, Power Morphicon)

That should just about do it! We need to give out some very special thanks to individuals who gave up a lot of free time to attend Toy Fair 2014 and provide you with all the news and information above. For starters, special thanks as always to our network administrators Tony_Bacala and Joe Moore, and HissTank.com administrator DESTRO. A special shout out to our very own Sentai Tamashii for giving up some family time to head to the show to help cover for not only us, but our sister site ToyArk.com as well. We’d also like to thank Fury Diamond of Samurai Cast Blog as well as Eric of the @RangerCommandPH podcast for the hard work and money they spent to be able to cover the show.

So are you ready for some new Power Rangers? Join our discussion already well-in-progress!

Former Power Rangers stunt coordinator Jeff Pruitt has put up another production video from the filming of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ second season in Japan- a collection of footage generally referred to by fans as “Zyu2.”

While there is no sound, this video gives us great detail on the Zyu2 era footage and even includes a number of shots that went unused by Saban!
