Boom Studios via our friends at PowerRangersNow has just announced a brand new Graphic Novel: Power Rangers Soul of the Dragon!

Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon will be an all-new story featuring the legendary Tommy Oliver during his retirement life who sets out to find his missing son while the SPD Rangers take charge of defending the Earth.

Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon will be written by Kyle Higgens, author of the fan favorite Mighty Morphin Power Rangers ongoing series. You can look forward to reading Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon in September 2018. You can find the official synopsis below: 

As a young adult, Tommy Oliver set upon a journey that would inspire hundreds of Power Rangers that would come afterward, thwarting evils like Empress Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, and King Mondo of the Machine Empire. Now, Tommy’s retired with Katherine and leaves protecting the world to Space Patrol Delta–including his son, JJ. But when Jake disappears, presumed dead after an undercover mission goes wrong, Tommy will call on all his training, his friends, and maybe even some of his enemies as he sets out on one last mission: find his son and bring him home. From writer Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Nightwing) comes the final story for history’s mightiest Power Ranger.

Each and every year, Toys’R’Us receives a 6-figure set of Power Rangers that they sell as an “epic pack”. That pack always contains an “exclusive figure or accessory” that you cannot buy separately. This year is no different! Courtesy @mightymorphinpowerranger on Instagram we now know what’s inside the pack! And for fans of Kelson Henderson, the actor who plays Mick on Power Rangers Ninja Steel and Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, it’s your chance to own his first official Power Rangers toy!

Here’s the part that will undoubtedly frustrate some fans. The item is still exclusive to Toys’R’Us. This figure pack was found in a store in Canada. For those following the situation with Toys’R’Us, the Canadian stores are NOT closing. With the US Toys’R’Us stores – they are closing at the end of the month and the distribution centers have closed meaning no new product will arrive.

Get in touch with your Canadian friends! $49.99. Happy hunting!

I got suckered in at TRU tonight, this was so pretty, I couldn’t say no.

Shattered Grid continues as the Ranger Slayer has arrived, threatening the future of the Power Rangers by destroying their past in service of Lord Drakkon! Issue #10 of Boom! Studios’ Go Go Power Rangers arrives on June 6th and we have a selection of preview images to whet your appetite.

In today’s Hasbro Strategic Decisions Conference, CEO of Hasbro Inc., Brian Goldner, spoke to the audience regarding the acquisition of the Power Rangers master toy license as well as the impending acquisition of the brand as a whole. Brian’s statement is quoted below:

“As I mentioned, we’ve now announced the acquisition of Power Rangers. This is really a great statement about where we believe we are in develping our brand blueprint. The fact that we can acquire Power Rangers brand and plug and play that right into our strategy where we activate it in entertainment, motion pictures in the future and then of course across toys and games and consumer products and do so globally. We felt the brand was very under leveraged and undervalued. We feel we can exploit it to a much greater extent and it was a great opportunity to acquire the brand.” – Brian Goldner, Hasbro Inc. CEO

This revelation will obviously come as great news for fans of the Power Rangers franchise who, last year, enjoyed their first major motion picture in 20 years. As many are well aware, the Power Rangers movie released at higher than expected numbers domestically, but overall failed to capture any audience globally, limping its way in to $142 million worldwide.

Stay tuned for more information as the Hasbro acquisition of Power Rangers continues!

Today marks the beginning of the end of an era.

A recent business report announced that Power Rangers production & development company Saban Brands in Century City, California will be closing on July 2, 2018 as a result of the planned Hasbro Inc purchase.

A total of 60 workers will be dismissed, with 51 of the jobs to be eliminated on the date of closure. At time of writing, it remains unknown if Hasbro will employ any of the dismissed employees.

Saban Brand’s parent company, Saban Capital Group– an entertainment investment firm- will remain in operation.

We here at TokuNation wish to extend our best wishes to the dismissed employees, and hope everyone is successful in transitioning to new careers. May The Power Protect You All.
