The face of the Power Rangers franchise – Jason David Frank – has died.  He was 49 years old.

For thirty years, Jason David Frank has celebrated Power Rangers with fans all over the world.  First appearing in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as the evil Green Ranger in 1993, his character “Tommy” would leave and return as the White Ranger, become the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, and star in two feature films (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie).  Eleven years after his first appearance, Jason David Frank would return as the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, giving the Power Rangers television franchise a much-needed boost during it’s second season under Disney Entertainment.

Jason David Frank would return twice more – once in the “Legendary Battle” episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, and again for the 25th anniversary episode “Dimensions in Danger” during Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel.  He also brought the evil comic book character Lord Drakkon to light in a short trailer for the BOOM! Studios Power Rangers Shattered Grid comic book event during the 25th anniversary.

At every single convention that Jason David Frank attended there would be massive lines to get pictures and autographs with, arguably, the most famous and popular Power Ranger.  Jason David Frank would make it a point to stay until the last fan in line got what they got in line for – whether it was an autograph, a picture, or just to say hello.

Jason David Frank had been working on and promoting the upcoming release of his creator-owned character via movie, Legend of the White Dragon, created with popular independent film maker Bat in the Sun (famous for “Super Hero Beat Down” YouTube shorts).  The film was set to release online in 2023.

He wasn’t perfect – nobody is – but for an entire generation of kids he was their hero. Our thoughts are with his family & friends in this difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Jason David Frank.  1973-2022

Renegade Game Studio’s Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid tabletop game came out last month and after a successful launch they’re back at it again with another Kickstarter campaign.

We’ve known for some time now that a Power Rangers: Zeo expansion was planned thanks to a Backer’s Choice poll that was held some time ago. The Evil Robot Clone of Dino Thunder Black is present on the banner, suffice to say that an expansion based on the Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel anniversary episode: Dimensions in Danger is also quite possibly in the works.

Other details are unknown at this time, but we’ll be sure to update you once the Kickstarter goes live on September 17th 2019.

The penultimate story of Tommy Oliver and possibly his final Power Rangers story releases next month in the graphic novel Soul of the Dragon by BOOM! Studios. Following Tommy Oliver in his final Power Rangers story, he searches valiantly for his missing son, JJ, who is working with Space Patrol Delta (SPD). His past, his present, and what remains of his future will collide in this epic adventure which harkens to the classic “Old Man Logan” story from Marvel Comics.

Written by Kyle Higgins – the famed Power Rangers scribe responsible for the immensely popular and successful Shattered Grid story in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic – and illustrated by Giuseppe Cafaro – this is a book that any fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, or the work of Kyle Higgins, do NOT want to miss.

Check out a number of preview pages for the graphic novel by clicking the title of the story. Thanks to Comic Frontline for the initial release of these images.

For 25 years the Power Rangers have been on television, on store shelves, and had its iconic theme song stuck in your head. We’re sure that more than once in the last few years have you heard a communicator “bum bum bum-bummm bum-bummm” play while you’re out and about being an adult. And in that brief moment you harken back to being a kid and racing home to watch Tommy and the other Power Rangers kick Lord Zedd‘s butt. Thus, you probably caught the Power Rangers 25th Anniversary Episode on Nickelodeon the other night – or if you haven’t then you’ve checked out all the various clips around the Internet.

Never fear – we caught the episode, recorded it ourselves, and have re-watched it numerous times. So let’s sit down and have a chat about the episode that attempts to bring back those Saturday morning feels with our comprehensive synopsis and review of Power Ranger Super Ninja Steel “Dimensions in Danger”, the Power Rangers 25th Anniversary episode!

Via Comicbook.com We have our first look at the main cover and two variants for the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #30 from Boom! Studios.

In this exclusive preview we get our first look at the main cover by Jamal Campbell, featuring a number of helmets from felled rangers surrounding Lord Drakkon’s throne. The Jordan Gibson variant gives us the traditional MMPR border used on a number of variants through out the series but features Andros the In Space Red Ranger as it’s main focus. Given the In Space rangers part in the Shattered Grid Annual, this could signal a larger role for them all to play. And the final gorgeous cover is by Carlos Villa, who treats us to an incredible “Forever Black” team-up of Black Rangers spanning franchise history.

Power Rangers #30 is a ways off from release, due out some time in August, but for now we can continue to drool over these lovely covers. Thanks to Comicbook.com for their exclusive preview.

The next series of the Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ figures have been found! Brandon E. posted on the Power Rangers Buyers, Traders, and Sellers Facebook page that he had found Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ Dino Thunder Black Ranger and Zeo Blue Ranger at his local Meijer store in Ohio.

The Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ Zeo Red Ranger has been spotted in a case refresh pack of Series 04 figures and is most likely in this new case assortment as well.

Still no word or sighting of the missing female figures. Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ Zeo Yellow Ranger was listed as Series 04 but as Series 05 is now hitting the shelves, we have yet to see her appear yet. As soon as something pops up we’ll let you know.

Have you spotted new Power Rangers Legacy toys? If so, post about it in our Sightings Forum, which has threads broken down for each state and for countries outside the United States too!

Thanks to GrnRngr.com’s Facebook page we have press photos for the upcoming 5th series of the Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ figures. This series has already started bleeding in to stores with the Zeo Red Ranger showing up in Series 4 case assortment refreshes. The wave is as follows:

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

We know that at least one case assortment that will be hitting stores will contain only the male figures. The female figures have yet to be seen in package, in production, or anywhere really. We’re still awaiting an update on the Zeo Yellow Ranger, who is part of the Series 4 figures and yet has not been released.

The press photos do not appear accurate to what is going to be released. Many of the “shiny gold” parts of the figures end up being a dull orange color instead. This change first started with the Series 4 figures and continues int he Series 5 figures. Hopefully we will have some answers at Toy Fair next month as to why.

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.

The end of the retail release of the Ranger Keys toy line from Power Rangers Super Megaforce has come – the final keys have been released at Toys’R’Us stores. That being said – we decided to take a look at these keys in what we’re calling the Ranger Key Celebration Week here at TokuNation.com!

Before we look at the Power Rangers Dino Thunder B assortment of Ranger Keys, please take a moment and check out our previous Ranger Key galleries!

– Power Morphicon Exclusive Ranger Keys – Titanium Ranger & Wolf Ranger
– Zeo Ranger Keys – Set A & B
– Lost Galaxy Ranger Keys Set B
– Operation Overdrive Ranger Keys Set B
– Wild Force Ranger Keys Set B
– Samurai Ranger Keys Set B
– Time Force Ranger Keys Set B
– In Space Ranger Keys Set B

The Power Rangers Super Megaforce – Power Rangers Dino Thunder Ranger Keys Set B set comes with three different Ranger Keys – a translucent Dino Thunder Red Ranger, a translucent Dino Thunder Black Ranger, and the Dino Thunder White Ranger. To have a complete set of Power Rangers Dino Thunder Ranger Keys, you’d need to pick up the Legendary Morpher Gift Set, which came with the Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger in a 20 Ranger Keys assortment. There was no key created for the Dino Thunder Triassic Ranger, mostly because it was a power-up form (although it would have been pretty awesome to get one).
