“You haven’t been fighting us, you’ve been fighting for your life.”
When Tommy Oliver became a high school teacher, he certainly never imagined he’d be a Power Ranger again. 12 years on from his first turn as a ranger though, the Power Rangers Dino Thunder needed more than just a mentor, they needed an ally. And so the Dino Thunder Black Ranger was born! Now comatose though, Dr. O must prove he still has the Fighting Spirit. Facing off against his past, Tommy grapples with Zeo Ranger V, the White Ranger, and the Green Ranger! When 5 teenagers with attitude were chosen to defend the Earth, their skills were put to the test against the Putty Patrollers! Created by Finster, these loyal foot soldiers of Rita Repulsa and later Lord Zedd, would menace the ranger for years to come. But these clay cretins were never more powerful or deadly than during the era of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
This must-have 2-pack from Hasbro’s Lightning Collection recreates yet another brilliant one-off form with the Fighting Spirit Green Ranger. And, it will satisfy long time fans with absolutely the best rendition of the Putty ever. Repeating the quality standard that the Dragon Shield Red & Black Rangers have given us so far, the Green Ranger fills a unique hole for collectors, filling out your MMPR lineup and beginning your Dino Thunder one. The Putty meanwhile is an extremely versatile and poseable figure with one of the best head and limb sculpts in the line. With a pack loaded down with the Dragon Dagger, Sword of Darkness, alternate Putty weapon arms, extra hands, and effect parts, it’s hard to find anything to dislike here.

“We need Megazord power, NOW!”
SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord!
The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.
Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.
The recently revealed Soul of Chogokin Dragon Caesar, or as fans of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers may know it as the Dragonzord, is now available for pre-order at our site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com!

The Soul of Chogokin Dragon Caesar will combine with the Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin (MMPR Megazord). The Soul of Chogokin line is considered a “masterpiece level quality” robot, with recent releases doubling or tripling their value after production. Don’t miss this chance to own the definitive version of the Dragonzord!
The month of July cannot get here quick enough for some of us Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger fans. Tamashii Nations recently revealed the release information for the upcoming Soul of Chogokin Dragon Caesar (July 2018 for 17,280 yen). For fans of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Dragon Caesar is the Japanese name for the Dragonzord. This beautiful collectable is able to combine with the previously released Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin (Mighty Morpin Power Rangers’ Megazord). Does this mean in 2019 we’ll see God King Brachion (Titanus)? Only time will tell.
The Soul of Chogokin page for SOC Daizyujin has been updated with all the information for Dragon Caesar, including design schematics. It is quite a marvel to see how this thing was designed.
