LET’S MORPHIN!

Thanks to our friends over at The Power Scoop, new set photos were spotted online from the filming of the much anticipated Power Rangers Beast Morphers, the filming took place at Spark Arena New Zealand around December 12th 2018.

The photos show what looks to be Beast Morphers Red Ranger wearing a rather peculiar set of armor. For fans of the Super Sentai counterpart: Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, you may know that the team acquires an upgrade called Powered Custom but the armor Red is using doesn’t appear to be Powered Custom at all but something else entirely. In addition, Beast Morpher Silver was also spotted on set.

Unfortunately, not much else is known about this cool new upgrade but it is certainly exciting to see Power Rangers own original take on the Go-Busters power sets, something that the series hasn’t really done outside of Megazord cockpits in quite awhile.

SPD Emergency!

Power Rangers S.P.D is widely regarded as one of the best ones out of the Disney Era of Power Rangers and it’s also one of the shows that’s always being expanded upon even after the show was ended. The official Power Rangers Twitter account dropped a surprise bombshell on us earlier today with a look at an all-new S.P.D B-Squad via a holiday greeting card that can now be purchased in stores with artwork courtesy of @shadowpiper via Twitter.  Do note that the image attached to this article may contain spoilers for Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon. So if you haven’t read it yet, please continue on at your own risk!

This new team of S.P.D Rangers consists of Bridge, Lina, J.J., Sky, Syd, and R.I.C 3.0 we’ll go over each character below:

In the Operation Over Drive episode Once a Ranger, Bridge mentioned that Sky was promoted to head of SPD Earth division while he received a promotion to Red Ranger. The armor Bridge wears is a reference to the Fire Squad armor donned by Akazan Ban Ban in the DekaRanger 10 Years After movie.

Speaking of DekaRanger, there have been many speculations as to what Sky’s version of the Shadow Ranger would look like and we now finally have our first answer in the form of the Deka Ranger.

Lina could possibly be referring to Lina Song, a character played by Malika Lim in the Power Rangers: HyperForce tabletop RPG. And finally, J.J. Oliver is the son of Tommy Oliver, we can’t go into him too much as doing so would spoil Soul of the Dragon for those that have yet to read it.

As of this writing, we aren’t certain if this image will lead into some sort of sequel or continuation for Power Rangers: S.P.D though with the current run of comics from Boom! Studios, anything is possible. In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll immediately update you as more info becomes available.

Many fans of Power Rangers will agree that possibly the lone shining light during the franchise’s 25th anniversary was the success and enjoyment of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers comic book series by BOOM! Studios. It would appear that the more mainstream media now agrees as the Go Go Power Rangers comic, written by Ryan Parrott and illustrated (for the majority of 2018) by Dan Mora is up for IGN’s Best Comic of 2018 Award.

The competition Go Go Power Rangers faces is pretty stiff however so it will need every Power Rangers fans’ help in getting itself across the finish line. What an opportunity to show the comic book world that the Power Rangers are more than just a licensed TV show comic but instead are an in-depth look at the lore and the universe that makes up our beloved franchise.

The nominees are as follows:

– Batman
– Black Hammer: Age of Doom
– Black Panther
– East of West
– Go Go Power Rangers
– Kill or Be Killed
– The Mighty Thor
– Monstress
– Saga
– Transformers: Lost Light

The penultimate story of Tommy Oliver and possibly his final Power Rangers story releases next month in the graphic novel Soul of the Dragon by BOOM! Studios. Following Tommy Oliver in his final Power Rangers story, he searches valiantly for his missing son, JJ, who is working with Space Patrol Delta (SPD). His past, his present, and what remains of his future will collide in this epic adventure which harkens to the classic “Old Man Logan” story from Marvel Comics.

Written by Kyle Higgins – the famed Power Rangers scribe responsible for the immensely popular and successful Shattered Grid story in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic – and illustrated by Giuseppe Cafaro – this is a book that any fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, or the work of Kyle Higgins, do NOT want to miss.

under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

The upcoming release of the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer from Denji Sentai Megaranger, better known as Power Rangers In Space for those of us who grew up with the Power Rangers, was originally scheduled to release in December of 2018. Unfortunately, due to what Bandai is calling a “production delay”, the item has been delayed with no current timetable for release.

It should be noted that the previous Super Sentai Artisan releases – specifically the SP License from Dekaranger and before that the Aura Changer from Dairanger – have suffered from quality control issues resulting in entire production run replacements.

The Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer had recently had payment requests go out. This is the first time an item this close to release has been delayed.

Once again the detective work of @PowerRangerTalk on Twitter has revealed even more upcoming listings for Hasbro‘s venture in to the Power Rangers brand. This time we have listings on Amazon for the younger kids – Playskool Heroes Power Rangers! This is, basically, Hasbro‘s competitive line against the Imaginext toys from Mattel. They are as follows:

Playskool Heroes Power Rangers
– Feature T-Rex Zords ($12.99)
– Mega Mighties ($11.99)
– Mighty Morphin Red Ranger ($11.99)
– Blind Bags ($3.99)

Thanks to @PowerRangerTalk and some database searching through Amazon has revealed the first listings for Hasbro’s Power Rangers toy line, including the highly anticipated Power Rangers Lightning Collection. The revealed figures are as follows:

– Mighty Morphin White Ranger
– Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger
– Dino Charge Red Ranger
– Lost Galaxy Magna Defender
– Mighty Morphin Lord Zedd
– SPD Shadow Ranger
– Beast Morphers Red Ranger
– Beast Morphers Gold Ranger

Another figure listed with the “PRG” (we assume “Power Rangers Generations“) label is simply titled “Ultrazord”, and we are currently unsure of what that could be. A couple of roleplay items are also listed.

The Power Rangers Lightning Collection was first revealed at Power Morphicon with the iconic Mighty Morphin White Ranger as the first reveal. A promise from the Hasbro team that the lineup would be multi-generational and non-linear, meaning any Ranger from any series could be included in any assortment. The figures are in the same style as Star Wars Black Series and Marvel Legends, will contain multiple accessories, have 20+ points of articulation, and the Power Rangers will come with civilian heads that you can swap on the figure.
