Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!

Continuing our celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers, the users at TokuNation.com voted the actor David de Lautour (RJ, the Wolf Ranger of Power Rangers Jungle Fury) as the 9th Best Power Ranger of All Time.

When Master Mao passed away, he sent forth three of his students – Casey, Lily, and Theo – to the city to find their new master to continue training them to stop the evil of Dai Shi. Enter Robert James, aka RJ, the man in charge at Jungle Karma Pizza. A bit of a loner with a unique form of training for his students, RJ surprised them (and us to an extent) when he overcame the wildness of his Wolf Animal Spirit to become the Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger, helping the other Jungle Fury Power Rangers in their battle against Dai Shi.

RJ holds the title of, currently, the only purple colored Power Ranger in the franchise’s history (at least for another 4 years until a possible Kyoryuger adaption is brought over). Couple that with the brilliant acting of David de Lautour as RJ and the great writing for the character, RJ is a great selection for the 9th Best Power Ranger of All Time.

Born in 1982, David de Lautour is no stranger to acting, having started back in the late 1990’s in brief roles as Icus and Lief in the hit-show Xena: Warrior Princess. Easily best known for his role as RJ the Wolf Ranger in Power Rangers Jungle Fury and for doing the voice of Vergil in the Devil May Cry, he has also recently had a guest appearance role in NCIS: Los Angeles and continues to work on various film projects each and every year. Congratulations to David de Lautour on being voted by the TokuNation.com users as the 9th Best Power Ranger of All Time!

What do you think of this selection? Do you agree, disagree? Where would you have ranked RJ? Let us know! And stay tuned for the next update as we close out the year with selections 1 through 8!

Another image from Figuroh magazine has surfaced. While this page might be featuring the forthcoming Figuarts Black RX and Acrobatter renewal releases the scan reveals that following Mammoth Ranger, the next of the Zyuranger and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures will be none other than Tricera Ranger!

Unfortunately, the image is so small that none of his release details can be made out more on that when it becomes available.

We asked the TokuNation.com forum members earlier this year to rate their Top 10 Power Rangers of all time, and from that list, we’d create the TokuNation Users’ Top 20 Power Rangers of All Time list to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers. Rising in popularity the last few years it should be no surprise that taking home the #10 spot on our user-created list is Sean CW Johnson, aka Carter Grayson, the Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger!

Carter Grayson was one of the top fire fighters in the city of Mariner Bay. His bravery and willingness to rush head first in to danger captured the eye of Captain Mitchell, who unbeknownst to everyone, was heading the Operation Lightspeed program. Carter was recruited to become the Red Ranger for the Lightspeed Rescue, an organization created to fight back the evil demons led by Queen Bansheera and Diabolico.

It is Carter who leads his team to defeat Queen Bansheera and save all of Mariner Bay.

Carter returned in the season Power Rangers Wild Force, and recruits Cole Evans, the Wild Force Red Ranger, to join a group of other Red Rangers traveling to the moon to defeat the remnants of the Machine Empire in the episode “Forever Red”, which celebrated the franchise’s 10th Anniversary. Carter will return again in a special episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce to save the world from The Armada alongside other veteran Power Rangers. This makes him one of three returning actors to have participated in both the 10th Anniversary and the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers.

The actor, Sean CW Johnson, hasn’t been in acting for almost a decade, but when he was, you would have seen him in guest roles on popular shows like JAG, 7th Heaven, CSI: Miami, and the show Las Vegas. He was born in Sarasota, Florida, and has only recently emerged back in to the public with his Twitter account @seancwjohnson. Be sure to send him a tweet welcoming him back in to the world of Power Rangers!

What do you think of this selection? Should it be higher or lower? Let us know! And be sure to tune in TOMORROW as we announce the #9 selection on our TokuNation Users’ Top 20 Power Rangers of All Time list!

But every once in awhile, something hits close to home that gets us excited. At the 2014 Denver Comic Con, the show is going to be morphin … Mighty Morphin!

Denver Comic Con has confirmed our earlier report that Jason David Frank would be in attendance at the 2014 show.

– Walter Jones (Mighty Morphin Black Ranger)
– David Yost (Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger)

After a nice long fall hiatus, we’re going to close out 2013 by bringing you the rest of the TokuNation.com Users Top 20 Power Rangers of All Time list for the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers! To kick it off, we’re announcing the next on the list that YOU voted for in early 2013! Your 11th Best Power Ranger of All Time is … Dan Ewing, who played Dillon the Power Rangers RPM Black Ranger!

At the end of the Disney run of the Power Rangers franchise, the series was given to a new executive producer, Eddie Guzelian, who stated he was told that no matter what he did, this was going to be the last installment of Power Rangers. With that in mind, Eddie took the series away from the rather campy humor of talking cars from the Japanese series GoOnger, and instead put our heroes in a post-apocalyptic world where evil machines had taken over. Our heroes, the Power Rangers RPM, were the protectors of the last human civilization on Earth – the domed city of Corinth. A mysterious man in a leather jacket and a hot rod muscle car, Dillon, was selected to be the Series Black Operator because, in part, of the machine implants that were riddled throughout his body. As the series progressed, we learned that the machine implants were actually Venjix hardware, aka the bad guys turned him in to a hybrid human/machine, and that he was also looking for his sister, who he believes he was separated from inside a Venjix facility.

Dillon would eventually find his sister (who we are not naming for spoiler reasons if you haven’t seen the show yet, and if you haven’t, GO SEE IT NOW) and, with the help of Dr. K, find a way to cure the struggle of control in his body between man and machine. The story of Dillon has its happy ending, and you’ll need to watch Power Rangers RPM to find out what all that entails!

Dan Ewing was born and raised near Sydney, Australia. He is an accomplished athlete as well as a successful actor. As well as being on Power Rangers RPM, he also was a contestant in the Australian Dancing with the Stars, as well as a starring role in the show Home and Away, though he has recently announced that he is leaving the show in 2014. You can follow him on Twitter at @_DanEwing.

The countdown continues tomorrow! Who will be Number 10? If you haven’t had a chance to see who 12 thru 20 were, then we can help you out – click here to check out the other Top 20 Rangers. What do you think of this placing – do you agree with your fellow fans? Discuss!

Thanks to a posting on his Official Facebook Page, the legendary hero of your childhood, Jason David Frank, will be attending a number of shows for 2014! Among one of his stops is one of the fastest growing and popular shows – Denver Comic Con! Jason David Frank will join Walter Jones (the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger) and David Yost (the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger) as the first tokusatsu related guests at the third annual Denver Comic Con June 13th-15th 2014.

For those who don’t remember off the top of your head who Jason David Frank is – he played the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, Mighty Morphin White Ranger, Zeo Red Ranger, Turbo Red Ranger, Dino Thunder Black Ranger, and is set to reprise his Mighty Morphin Power Rangers roles in the 2014 series Power Rangers Super Megaforce in a special episode.

But now for some sad news – based on the scheduled date for Wizard World Chicago, it would appear that Jason David Frank will NOT be attending 2014’s Power Morphicon convention (the official Power Rangers convention). Power Morphicon takes place August 22nd-24th 2014, and Wizard World Chicago takes place August 21st-24th 2014. Jason is currently scheduled as a guest at Wizard World Chicago for their 2014 show and the dates conflict.

If you live in the middle United States and would like to experience a great show, be sure to register for Denver Comic Con as tickets are going fast. TokuNation will be in attendance at the show to bring you pictures and any news that comes up at the show.

There has been no official announcement from Denver Comic Con regarding Jason David Frank’s attendance, nor is there any update from Power Morphicon on whether or not the iconic Power Ranger is or is not attending the official convention. As soon as there is we will bring the news to you.
