The long wait is over! After tons of anticipation and fan demand the mighty Legacy Dragonzord has finally been released! Though it’s been out for a little while now, this sought after piece tends to be hard to come by through regular retail. But TokuNation was lucky enough to get it’s hands on one for a full review & gallery!

The Legacy Dragonzord is of course an update the classic DX Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar toy from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger  toylines! Released at physical retail exclusively through Toys ‘R’ Us this figure is already hard to find much like the Legacy Megazord. Which speaking of, this figure is compatible with the Megazord! The Dragonzord is a fierce machine on it’s own, but combining it with your MMPR 2010 or Legacy Megazords can create the Dragonzord Battle Mode and Mega Dragonzord, the second of which will prepare you for the upcoming Legacy Titanus!

This update to the 20+ year old Dragonzord toy has been long awaited by fans of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and of the original Green Ranger. So how exactly does this figure stack up to the classic? Read on to find out! And as a special mention for this gallery, TokuNation’s newest Photo & Content staff member ThatRangerGuy was kind enough to take a couple of comparison shots of the original DX Dragonzord & Legacy Dragonzord for us.

We’ve assembled a full review & gallery of this latest release in the Legacy toyline for you after the jump. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to over 60 images and a step by step breakdown of this awesome toy!

Bandai’s official YouTube channel has put up some early previews for the latest DX Resshas heading to store shelves!

First up is a close look at the Galaxy Resshas & their Beast Mode combination style!

And a two-step look at the massive Build Ressha & its combat formation, Build DaiOh!

Definitely a couple good items for ToQGer fans! Both should be due for release in the very near future, so those fans who were lucky enough to get pre-orders in should keep a close eye on their mailboxes!

The boys are back from their crossover adventure with the release of Episode 12 – Lord Zedd Interview and Talkin Dino Charge! Talk some toku with your hosts Chris/Kickback, Jordan/Den-O, and Tom/Sentai Tamashii! In this week’s episode, Chris conducts the first ever Talkin Toku Interview with none other than Robert Axelrod, the voice of Lord Zedd from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Special thanks to Denver Comic Con for helping set up and coordinate a time and place for the interview. Chris also shares his thoughts on Denver Comic Con.

To round off the episode the guys keep the topic on Power Rangers, and more specifically discuss a couple of Power Rangers Monday articles – namely what do we want to see adapted in to Power Rangers Dino Charge from Kyoryuger and what else would we have liked to see adapted from Super Sentai in general in to Power Rangers? It’s a fun conversation as our hopes for a great season with Power Rangers Dino Charge especially with Judd Lynn at the helm show up in the conversation. Take a listen to the episode below and join in the discussion!

Some more new magazine scans for ToQGer have surfaced online! This month brings us our first close look at Build DaiOh– Toq6’s personal Mecha! The massive twin-car Build Ressha split to form this awesome new Mecha & offer ToQOh some badly-needed help against the DarkLiner Robos.

In addition the scans offer us a few shots of ToQGer’s movie-exclusive new Mecha: the Galaxy Line! Five animal-based Safari Resshas combine to form Safari GaOh!

Toy collectors can look forward to BuildDaiOh’s release in late July for the relatively affordable cost of 6900 Yen. Safari GaOh’s release date is sadly unconfirmed at the time of this writing, so stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

Am0ng their reveals for November Tamashii Webshop exclusives, Bandai have surprisingly announced a Figuarts ZERO version of the ever popular Dragon Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger (or if you’d prefer, the Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)!

This non-poseable statue features the character in his Zyusouken playing pose, with Dragon Ranger standing atop a rocky display base. It will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in November for the price of 4860 yen.

Time for a double dose of legendary train hero power-ups from Ressha Sentai ToQger! And it’s also time for TokuNation to test drive it’s newest segment, Toy Tuesdays! Each week on Tuesdays (most of them anyway) we plan to bring you a new toy gallery. This week it just so happens to be a pair of new figures but we’re going to be digging into a back log of rare & vintage toys as well as this segment progresses. So stay tuned!

The recently released DX Kyoryuger & Den-Liner Resshas are featured in the Heisei Rider Vs. Show Raider: Kamen Rider Taisen Featuring Super Sentai film. But each are of course based on heroes of the past! One from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the other from the first train themed hero series, Kamen Rider Den-O! Each is based on the central mecha of their respective series albeit in a miniaturized form. Combining Kyorguer Ressha with ToQ Oh results in ToQ Oh Kyoryuzin but when you add Den-Liner to the mix you get ToQ Oh Kyoryuzin featuring Den-Liner!

Check out our 40 image gallery for this pair of new Resshas after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

If you’ve been following our Tokyo Toy Show coverage a few weeks ago, Bandai  announced a Chogokin ToQoh with new elbows that allow for better articulation, the good news is that Premium Bandai  will be releasing these new elbows on their own in a new Super Sentai Artisan set which will be compatible with the DX toy. 

Also included is a rail themed display stand with light up LEDS, designed to link up either in a straight line or side by side to mimic the transformation scene in the show.

The exclusive set retails for 5,184 yen and will be shipping out in October.

It’s Monday which means it’s time for another Power Rangers Monday article! Last week, we talked about the Top 5 Things That MUST Be Adapted from Kyoryuger to Dino Charge, and it was a huge hit! Thanks everyone for taking part in the discussion. A lot of you disagreed with our feelings that the overall theme of music should be adapted and it was an awesome discussion on both sides. A lot of you also wanted to see Deathryuger as the Navy Ranger, or rather his 100 Years After adaption of being Kyoryu Navy. Either way it was a lot of fun – and if you missed it, check out the multi-page discussion by clicking here!

This week you voted on our topic of discussion – and you chose for us to discuss the Top 5 Coolest Things Not Adapted From Super Sentai! Not being super-versed in all things Super Sentai, I reached out to our content director Den-O, a self-proclaimed Super Sentai enthusiast, and with his help, came up with a rather fun and interesting list. Please click the “Read More…” option and check out the list we came up with!

Please take a moment and vote on next Monday’s article – we brought over a couple of options from the last poll and added three new options of which they would all be extremely fun to write and research! So vote, discuss, and read on!

Another teaser from Tokyo Toy Show  has revealed some surprising news: Ressha Sentai ToQGer will be joining Bandai’s Chogkin series of die cast toys starting with of course a re-making of the DX ToQOh with some new pieces.

But shockingly, the line will also contain the enemy mecha as well with the Dark Liner Robos of the Shadow Line having been teased.
