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.

Check out a number of preview pages for the graphic novel by clicking the title of the story. Thanks to Comic Frontline for the initial release of these images.

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)
– 2 Pack Figures ($9.99)

– 2 Pack Tri-Cycle ($9.99)
– 2 Pack Red/Yellow Rangers ($9.99)
– 2 Pack Green/Black Rangers ($9.99)
– Mighty Morphin Black Ranger ($11.99)

While we don’t have exact details on these figures they look to also span many different series in the Power Rangers history – something the Imaginext line did not do. Get those wallets ready – it’s going to be an expensive spring!

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.

What do you guys think? Does this excite you for the future? Sound off in our discussion!

With Bandai America’s Power Rangers toyline winding down before Hasbro takes the brand in a new direction next year, one of the last releases the company has to offer has just been spotted at US retail.  The Gamestop Exclusive Legacy Armored Red Ranger was just spotted at retail by Mando Arriaga over at the Power Rangers Traders, Buyers, and Sellers facebook page!

As one of the tail end releases in the line, the Armored Red Ranger has made the packaging change the rest of the most recent Legacy product has like Psycho Red, Dino Thunder White etc.  So it’ll fit right in with your other end of the line purchases. As one of the last new Legacy 6.5″ releases to hit retail, will you be hunting this figure down yourself? Let us know in the thread linked below!

As the current holiday shopping season ramps up in to top gear, a non-profit children’s safety organization known as W.A.T.C.H. (World Against Toys Causing Harm) has listed their Top 10 Unsafest Toys for the 2018 Holiday Season. Gracing the list this year at Number 4 is none other than Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, specifically the Superstar Blade roleplay item. As W.A.T.C.H. states in their description of the item:

HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR BLUNT FORCE AND EYE INJURIES!

W.A.T.C.H. OUT! Young children are encouraged to “power up” with this “Super Ninja Steel” spring-loaded plastic blade, with the potential to cause facial and other impact injuries.

The roleplay item’s functionality is a spring loaded mechanism that shoots out a few inches. The organization’s fears stem from the fact that the item is a sword (meant to be swung at people) and that the spring loaded feature could inadvertently cause facial injury to the wielder.

TokuNation.com advises parents and collectors alike to use common sense when handling a children’s toy and if you purchase the item for your child to be a parent and explain how to, and how not to, play with it. Check out the full press release by clicking here.

During Power Morphicon fans of the Power Rangers were treated to the Kickstarter campaign of Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid, an incredibly in depth and customizable board game created by Renegade Game Studios under license from Hasbro. The game was incredibly successful on Kickstarter raising over $700,000 when all was said and done. Fans who have backed the Kickstarter will get their packages sometime in July of 2019.

Thanks to @TokuReviews on Twitter, we can now share that video game and collectibles store Game Stop has a street date in their system for the base game – August 31st, 2019! If you didn’t or couldn’t support Heroes of the Grid via the Kickstarter you now have a timeframe of when you might be able to expect the game in stores.
