With the weight of declining retail sales this holiday season, reports are coming out from Bloomberg that Toys’R’Us, the only remaining national toy store, is considering closing up to 200 of its retail stores after the holiday season.

Toys’R’Us filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in September as it was unable to pay the millions of dollars of debt that was coming due. However, due to its inability to pay toy manufacturers for the product on its shelves – specifically Hasbro and Mattel – the toy shopping season has dropped upwards of 15% compared to last year.

The exact number of potential store closings is only speculation, but the report from Bloomberg states from insiders that the company is projecting at least 100 stores and up to 200 stores total. This report comes on the heels of another report that stated Toys’R’Us won the ability in court to make sure their executives were paid $15 million dollars in bonuses for the 2017 fiscal year.

Our thoughts go out to the hard working employees who could be impacted by store closings. As to what could happen to upcoming Power Rangers Legacy items, which are exclusive to Toys’R’Us, is currently up in the air. We’ll keep you updated.

GET IN GEAR!

The good people at Shout! Factory have opened a page revealing release details for Power Rangers RPM: The Complete Series!

This five-disc set containing all 32 episodes of the fan-favorite season is currently scheduled for release on March 27, 2018 at a very modest price point of $16.97 USD.

However, this release is slightly bittersweet- RPM is the LAST Power Rangers season covered by Shout! Factory’s current licensing agreement, so this will be the final Complete Series from Shout! to hit stores.

For those of you interested in a little bit of nostalgia the Power Rangers Legacy Fliphead figures have been released at GameStop. Found at a GameStop in Texas by Mike of the Facebook group Power Rangers Traders, Buyers, and Sellers, he was able to purchase both the Red Ranger and Green Ranger figures.

The GameStop location he visited had two brand new cases and not a single Pink Ranger fliphead figure was included in the initial shipment. It would appear, much like other Late Fall assortments of Power Rangers toys, there isn’t a female to be found in the initial shipments.

If you’re interested in picking up these figures be sure to check your local GameStop!

Today a listing was discovered on EntertainmentEarth.com for what is listed as a Power Rangers 25th Anniversary Ranger Keys listing. The said listing contains a case of 6 different 5 packs of Ranger Keys. Unfortunately, there is no breakdown for the case. John Green on Twitter of GrnRngr.com is stating that these appear to be part of the Legacy assortment.

Check out the official listing of the Power Rangers 25th Anniversary Ranger Keys here. We’ve reached out for comment on what these are. If we receive a response we will update with more information. Our own speculation is that these will contain classic teams and not necessarily complete the missing keys, though it would be nice to get Power Rangers Dino Charge and Power Rangers Ninja Steel represented.

Estimated release date is April 2018. Image used in this story is from our Power Rangers Zeo Ranger Keys gallery and not of the actual product listed in this story.

The universe within BOOM! Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers comics are about to get much bigger! The first-ever comic event in franchise history, “Shattered Grid” begins within Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 25 releasing on March 21st, 2018. The evil Lord Drakkon – the alternate future Tommy Oliver who never became good – is back. And he’s raised an evil army that has the Power Rangers and the morphin grid itself in its sights.

The Shattered Grid event will also have ripples in the Go Go Power Rangers comic series. For those who haven’t followed Go Go Power Rangers, that comic book follows the original five Mighty Morphin Power Rangers literally right after they become Power Rangers and how it effects their personal lives. In the book, a fan-favorite Power Ranger from the future will arrive looking for Lord Drakkon and will end up dividing the team “in a very personal way”.

All in all – the existence of the Power Rangers past, present, and future is at stake in this event. So, naturally, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are going to need to help of Power Rangers from all walks of the franchise to help out. The event begins with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 25 on March 21st, 2018. It continues in Go Go Power Rangers Issue 9 releasing in April. The event will also have two one-issue specials during 2018.

Check out the full press release from BOOM! Studios below. Are you ready for this mega-event? Could we call it … a SUPER MEGA EVENT? Too soon? Who do you hope to see in the Shattered Grid event? Sound off in our discussion thread! Click “Read More” for the full press release.

But it’s also time for TokuNation to celebrate itself. Our little community has hit another milestone this year, our 6 year anniversary!!

“Appear, Guardian Beast Dragon Caesar!”

As though Burai himself commanded the great beast to appear, we have finally been treated to the official unveiling of the Soul Of Chogokin Dragon Caesar (MMPR Dragonzord) at Tamashii Nations 2017!

This gorgeous companion piece to SOC Daizyujin/Megazord was teased some months ago with initial design sketches having been released by Bandai Japan. Now, as Tamashii Nations 2017 continues to surprise us with new reveals, the SOC Dragon Caesar figure is on full display. We don’t currently have any confirmed information about it’s release date, format, or pricing. As soon as any of that information comes to light, we’ll be sure to share it with you. These images came courtesy of Amiami.

Thanks to user coolztoys at Rangerboard we have some up close in-package images of the upcoming Wave 5 figures from the Legacy Power Rangers 6.5″ Figures collection. Notably absent from the wave is the Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger and Zeo Pink Ranger, although Bandai America has issued a statement weeks ago that collectors should not worry because they are still releasing female figures (no images of the Wave 4 Zeo Yellow Ranger have surfaced yet and she was excluded from the first assortment of Wave 4).

The figures available in the first assortment of this wave appear to be:

– Dino Thunder Black Ranger
– Zeo Red Ranger
– Zeo Blue Ranger

We do not yet know the case assortment yet, but one could assume it will be Tommy-heavy in shipping (x3 and x2 on the Tommy figures, most likely). Stay tuned for more information as it comes available.
