It’s Morphin Time!

When Bandai of America first announced the 20th Anniversary Legacy Morpher, the first thing most fans and collectors asked was if and when we would ever get a Green & White Ranger version. As we know by now, we would have a Toys’R’Us release of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and White Ranger hit shelves early in 2014. But before we had that, the only option was the elusive and very pricey San Diego Comic Con 2013 Exclusive Gold-Plated Legacy Morpher.

Limited to 1000 pieces and available only at San Diego Comic Con 2013, this version of the morpher was, for a small time, the most sought over Power Rangers merchandise quite possibly in the history of the franchise. I remember when I purchased mine I had offers for double or triple what I paid for as I walked past a line of hopeful attendees.

TokuNation.com is proud to be present to you a high resolution gallery of over 50 images of this exclusive piece of merchandise, with comparison shots to the mass retail version. If you have any additional picture requests, please post them in the discussion thread. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy this (in my opinion) beautiful exclusive!

Another week has gone by which means it’s time for another round of episodes from Mahou Sentai Magiranger And after the incredible revelations last week, it’s time for the home stretch of Let’s Watch Wednesdays!

Blagel’s secret is known at last! But Kai simply can’t accept the dark truth of his father. Hikaru will fight Meemy one last time, the Duel Bond will be invoked and one of the two shall fall. The giant of fire & light, Saint Kaiser, will reappear! And N-Ma will at last be destroyed, or will he? The cost is a terrible loss to the Ozu family, but a ray of hope will be left in this wake. And a new darkness will revive, the slumber of the10 Hades Gods of Infershia is over!

It’s time to talk some toku with the Talkin Toku Podcast! Join your hosts Kickback aka Chris (@rankal), Den-O aka Jordan (@DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii aka Tom (@SoulInkChu) as they talk the latest news to hit the tokusatsu community!

In Episode 008 – Articulated Boobs join the guys as they talk about the winning Ranger Keys of the Morphin Madness contest. They transition in to discussing some of the most exciting and promising news in recent memory for Power Rangers with the apparent return of Judd Lynn as executive producer of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge season, adapted from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, in 2015. And the toy topic of the podcast? Are S.H. Figuarts of Super Sentai characters dead?

For the first time (and not the last time if you guys enjoy it), our conversation and discussion about Power Rangers Super Megaforce “Silver Lining Part 2” is done in the way of MST3K, with Jordan watching the episode live on the podcast. The part that makes it hilarious to listen to, aside from his criticisms of Power Rangers as a whole, is the fact he had no idea we were recording. Enjoy his natural comedic wit in this segment! The boys also discuss Kamen Rider Gaim, with the return of Kamen Rider Bravo and Kamen Rider Gridon. But where does the show go from here? The boys attempt to speculate. And discussion of Ressha Sentai ToQGer is hijacked with discussion of Mini-Pla ToQOh.

Be sure to stay tuned to the end of the episode for a special promotion of the upcoming Talkin Ranger Toku Command at the Nation Summer Crossover Event, where the Talkin Toku at the Nation Podcast joins forces with the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast for an epic podcast crossover. A big special thanks to @trekkieb47 for editing the promo. Be sure to check out the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast by checking out their official site – RangerCommand.com.

You thought we forgot about you? Let’s Watch Wednesdays is back with another movie! This time it’s a double whammy though, featuring two sentai! This is Magiranger VS Dekaranger! Please take note, if you haven’t watched Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, then this movie will contain some spoilers for the end of that particular series. Watch at your own risk!

The Magirangers celebrate a family holiday with an expensive meal. But a certain Dekaranger happens to be around when that meal is interrupted by an Alienizer! As two sentai meet for the first time, Deka Red returns to Earth with a new power, the Fire Squad Battlizer! Two 6th heroes meet, Tetsu & Hikaru will have their own little adventure. It’s Deka Master VS Wolzard the ultimate test of swords! And Legend Mode & Battlizer against all odds, and evil! This one has it all. To stop Agent X from inheriting the legacy of Abrer, 13 heroes will rise up!

Be sure to join the action packed discussion for this VS movie by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post! Next week we pick up with a special 2 episode arc of Magiranger, 32 & 33, where the most unbelievable secret will be revealed!

The original trio of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back together for the first time in a month! Join Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu)) in their latest adventure of discussing all things tokusatsu! The last time the group was together was before events like NJCC and LexCon, and now that they’re together, they spend some time remembering the conventions. Listen to Tom’s story of how he missed purchasing a holy grail for his collection by a matter of minutes! Find out what Steve Cardenas (Rocky, Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger #2, Zeo Blue Power Ranger) did to troll Jordan at LexCon!

Gears shift as the crew then discusses the recent developments on Kamen Rider Gaim. What was everyone’s most “OMG” moment when watching the show? What are their thoughts on DJ Sagura? The trainbow is tasted once more as Tom and Jordan discuss the Shadow Line extensively with Ressha Sentai ToQGer and Jordan makes a bold prediction for just who ToQ #6 will end up being! Finally, Chris gushes over the episode “Spirit of the Tiger” from Power Rangers Super Megaforce. But, as with anything Power Rangers related, someone ends up hogging the spotlight as the crew discusses, for the last time in a public format, the entire debacle that was Morphin Madness Round 3.

For those who were caught up heavily in Morphin Madness, this is your chance to get the scoop behind the controversial Twitter campaign with the hash tag #NoMoreTommy from the creator of that movement himself – Jordan. What was the real purpose behind it? Was there any spite attached to it, and if so, why? Jordan reveals all this episode. Check out the episode details below and take a listen for yourself!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties with the audio on this podcast. The problem has been identified and will be corrected going forward, but sadly the original source for the audio is lost forever, meaning the only way you can hear this episode is through the current quality. After spending a few days trying to fix the audio from the source material, the decision was made by all three hosts to release the episode because, honestly, we thought it was a pretty damn good episode. We do apologize for the lackluster quality of the audio and hope you will still give the episode a listen. Again, future episodes will not have this problem.

It’s time for the original Legendary Rangers to make a move in this weeks extra sized installment of Let’s watch Wednesdays featuring Mahou Sentai Magiranger! This week we’re watching 4 episodes, 28-31, because next week it’s movie time once again!

The devil’s glacier, Evil Ice, will freeze the world for Infershia! A secret Houka wasn’t meant to know, and her memory will be wiped! And to stop the ice, the Magirangers will seek the help of the saint who gave their mother power, Snowgel! With Snowgel’s blessing their legend will finally be born. A new power has come, Legend Mode! And with the power of Legend Mode an even greater giant than Magi King will awaken, Magi Legend! But what cost will this new power place on our 5 heroes?

Toku Nation has decided to switch focus. Since everyone thinks it’s Taco Nation, or just says Taco Nation because it’s much funnier than Toku Nation, we’re gonna roll with it. This will be an all Taco site. The roll out begins today. The forums have already been converted, and we will be implementing the front page Taco conversion over the next couple days. We hope you join us on the Taco Roller Coaster. Jump into our Taco on the forums here: http://www.tokunation.com/forum.php!

UPDATE: We’ve decided to stay with TOKU instead of TACO. Taco conversion canceled. Carry on.

History’s greatest Power Rangers continue to fight it out in round 3 of Morphin Madness![/URL] The ultimate tournament to decide which 5 Legendary Rangers will be made into a limited edition Ranger Key set by Bandai of America! But the message of Morphin Madness, what it’s really all about, appears to have been lost thanks to some unfortunate poking from two sides of the fandom.

At the end of the day this competition is for fun. It’s ultimate goal however is still the production of 5 Ranger Keys. As we know BOA will only be producing about 70 keys out of 100+ rangers they have to work with. This competition will allow fans to pick 5 rangers to be made into a special limited edition Ranger Key set. Keys that simply wouldn’t exist without fan support in an event like this. The competition has been fierce and heated, but fans have stuck with it to vote for their favorite rangers and the ones they find most in need of the Ranger Key treatment. Today TokuNation would like to take a moment to honor 5 of Round 3’s rangers in a little segment we’re calling Power Playback!

Power Playback is a community viewing event that consists of 1 episode each, from 5 different classic Power Rangers seasons! Designed to give people a chance to experience some of these rangers for the first time or relive them all over again, Power Playback also gets your foot in the door on 5 classic Power Rangers series; Zeo, Mystic Force, Turbo, Lightspeed Rescue, & In Space! Each of these episodes is the 1st appearance of a Legendary Power Ranger featured in the current round of Morphin Madness!

Power Rangers Zeo “The Power Of Gold” – The first appearance of the Gold Ranger!

Power Rangers Turbo “Phantom Phenomenon” – The first appearance of the Phantom Ranger!

Power Rangers In Space “From Out Of Nowhere Part 1” – The first appearance of the In Space Red Ranger!

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue “From Deep In The Shadows” – The first appearance of the Titanium Ranger!

Power Rangers Mystic Force “Broken Spell” – The first appearance of the Mystic Force White Ranger!

Check out these episodes, which are currently available on such streaming sites as Netflix,[/URL] and give us your thoughts in this thread. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a full rundown of each episode, along with the further exploits of each of these 5 rangers. Spoilers abound on the next page so read on with care. And be sure to head over to our massive ongoing Morphin Madness Thread[/URL] to share your thoughts on the brackets and how things are playing out!
