“Let’s try my gorilla strength!”

Ravi Shaw was meant to be a Power Ranger. Selected & trained by Grid Battleforce, Ravi earned his place & his power with his teammates. But before they could become Rangers, Blaze & Roxy became something else. Loyal Avatars of Evox! Ravi’s former comrades would have done the same to him too if not for the intervention of Devon Daniels & Zoey Reeves. Joining his new allies, Ravi’s body is infused with Morph-X energy as well as gorilla DNA, turning him into the mighty Beast Morphers Blue Ranger!

Joining the likes of the Beast Morphers Red & Gold Rangers, the Blue Ranger is the third member of his team to make it to the Lightning Collection. With the evil ranger Blaze coming up in Wave 4 of the line, this group of characters continues to expand as well. As is, the Blue Ranger is another welcome member of the team! Packing a (literal!) punch, the Blue Ranger includes two effect parts as well as the Beast-X Saber and even a civilian head featuring the likeness of Ravi’s actor, Jazz Baduwalia!

Check out the full 60+ image gallery of the Beast Morphers Blue Ranger after the jump.

As we get closer and closer to the 2019 premiere of Power Rangers Beast Morphers, our first hint of merchandise for the show has also been revealed. Thanks to a listing that’s gone up on Calendars.com we have our first look at officially licensed artwork for the Beast Morphers 2019 Calendar!

Though the images are a bit small, they give us our first real look at the series is being marketed. The biggest deal about this calendar though is that it confirms the names of the three Beast Bots! These Bots are of course the Power Rangers equivalents of the Buddyroids from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, the series Beast Morphers is adapted from:

  • The Red Ranger’s partner is Cruise the jaguar (Cheeda Nick in Go-Busters)
  • The Blue Ranger’s partner is Smash the gorilla (Gorisaki Banana in Go-Busters)
  • The Yellow Ranger’s partner is Jax the Rabbit (Usada Lettuce in Go-Busters)

This listing was originally discovered by @Chaotix12345 on twitter. As the year progresses we expect to get more reveals of merchandise like this with licensed artwork for the show. If you come across any such links/items/etc, drop us a line!

Another month has come & gone and so we have a number of toy galleries and in depth reviews by our Photo & Content staff to round-up once again! Though all the products we reviewed this past month were released in the last 3 or 4 years, the content they covered spanned decades. A selection of Ranger Keys took us down the path of Metal Heroes from 1982 all the way to 2012, the Legacy line gave us a one-two punch throwback to 1994 & 1995, and we caught up with some much needed gallery 2.0’s a recent and often overlooked sentai.

As always you’ll find below links to this months gallery/reviews. We look forward to bringing you even more content this month!

Let’s Morphin!

The TokuNation Gallery 2.0 initiative slowly marches on! It’s been a while since we posted one of our updated looks at a figure gone by. But today we’re back with the third in our series of do-overs for Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters with S.H. Figuarts Blue Buster!

First things first, Blue Buster is basically identical to the previously released Red Buster. The only mold difference is the helmet. If you have experience with this mold then you know it well. Admittedly it’s not perfect, there’s limited upper arm movement & especially difficult to swap hands. But Blue Buster is still a more than serviceable release with a great selection of accessories including the Sougan Blade, Ichigan Buster, & the combined Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode! If you’re looking for another addition to your sentai figuarts display, this one is both inexpensive to acquire and still pretty great despite it’s flaws.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but the full 40 image gallery is view-able after the jump. Just click “Discuss on The TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be back in just a few days with yet another Go-Busters gallery 2.0 with S.H. Figuarts Gorisaki Banana!

We reported just a few days ago that South Korea would be getting Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters as Power Rangers Go-Bursters. Now thanks to TokuNation.com member shikishima we have some more details to share along with the fact that Kamen Rider Fourze will also be airing alongside Power Rangers Go-Bursters in South Korea!

Daewon Media, a South Korean company that specializes in cultural content, is responsible for bringing over Power Rangers Go-Bursters and Kamen Rider Fourze to that country. Along with the shows will be imported toys, action figures, and accessories for both shows to the South Korean market.

If you missed your chance at getting some of the swag from these series when they were airing in Japan, this is now your chance!

A big special thanks to TokuNation.com member shikishama for this news!
