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).

To check out the entire gallery of 25 images, click here or on the “Discuss” link at the bottom of this news post! Did you pick up this set? Do you even want to? What do you think of the Sparkle Tommy Ranger Key? Sound off in our discussion thread!

Courtesy as always of @razzle1337 on twitter, we have some more new Power Rangers toy images!

On the Dino Charge side of things we have our very first look at the upcoming Dino Charge rangers 6-pack! But wait! That’s not a Gold Ranger in the 6th spot, but instead a villain. Astute fans of Kyoryuger will no doubt recognize this character as Dogold from the Deboss Army and understand why he’s been included in this set. His Power Rangers counterpart name has yet to be confirmed. Also included is the combined team weapon also yet to be named (Kentrospiker in Kyoryuger). And we also catch a glimpse of the Dino Charge Red Ranger mask from the Ranger Training set!

For Super Megaforce there’s actually quite a few new images to behold!

  • All of the Wave 4 Ranger Keys packs. Mighyt Morphin, Operation Overdrive, Alien Rangers, Jungle Fury, Dino Thunder, RPM!
  • 12″ figures of Megaforce Red & Super Megaforce Silver Rangers.
  • Ultimate Legendary Megazord 3-pack! This massive 3-pack will contain the Legendary Megazord, Q-Rex Megazord, & Turbo Falconzords all needed to create the final Ultimate combination!

These images are a bit grainy for the time being but you can bet that we’ll be seeing these upcoming items at San Diego Comic-Con. And of course remember that TokuNation will be there on the show floor covering all of your tokusatsu needs! Be sure to follow the whole TokuNation news team:

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.

On the heels of this year’s LexCon, arguably the most popular Power Ranger of all time, Jason David Frank who played the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Red Ranger in both Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, as well as the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, has released the second episode of his self-created reality show titled My Morphin Life.  The video is below.

This episode features what many of us have come to known as convention burnout and convention hangover, where the crowds and the excitement literally drain every bit of energy from your body.  Follow Jason David Frank as he attempts to survive LexCon 2013.  This video features interviews with other former Power Rangers about Jason David Frank, including Walter Jones, Blake Foster (who is credited as his character’s name instead of his actual name), Catherine Sutherland, Karan Ashley, and the always lovable Jason Narvy.  Click on the discussion link to share your thoughts about the episode!
