The biggest and most exciting news prior to this year’s Power Morphicon was the Kickstarter launch for the Renegade Games project Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid. Renegade Games was in full attendance at Power Morphicon pulling in quite a large crowd to demo the game first hand and to check out all the proposed and upcoming game pieces thanks to continued support of the Kickstarter.

Check out some painted sample pieces from the game by clicking the title of the story! They are well done and are quite eye-popping! Also be sure to tune in to our review of a brief play through we got to experience while in attendance at Power Morphicon!

A new toy commercial for the Power Rangers 2017 Movie has given us our first look at the films’ second villain!

The iconic Mighty Morphin era monster known as Goldar is reborn in an exciting new style! The massive golden winged creature shown here is Rita Repulsa’s most powerful General, almost certainly a worthy opponent for the new team of Rangers and their Megazord. Early script details for the film suggest Rita brings this creature to life by stealing large quantities of gold. While the visual design definitely seems to support that rumor, no official story for Goldar has been released at time of writing.

Goldar will face off against the new team of Power Rangers in theaters on March 24, 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Rangers Movie news!

During today’s Power Rangers Movie panel at New York Comic Con 2016, director of the film Dean Israelite confirmed to the crowd that Goldar is indeed in the movie. While discussing things that we’ll see in future trailers, he mentioned Putties, the Space Ship, and Goldar.

If you missed it earlier, the Power Rangers Movie Teaser Trailer launched this morning and quickly set the Power Rangers Movie trailer trending on social media worldwide. Join in our discussion by clicking the “Discuss” link at the bottom of the post!

Here we go! Today the casting sides for the upcoming Power Rangers 2017 Movie were released online. What is a casting side you ask? Well, it’s basically a bunch of lines for actors to read off or to get in to character while auditioning for the role of the character they’re trying out for. Casting sides are not always a guarantee – the casting sides for Power Rangers Megaforce were different than what we ended up with.

Now obviously – there’s potential major spoilers. Below is a screen shot of the casting side with the details blurred out. These casting sides potentially give us the first details on the story (how similar is it to the “leaked” story from a month or so ago?), as well as more details on some of the character bios that were leaked not too long ago (Kimberly being absent from school for six months is explained, as well as part of Billy’s reasoning for being such an introvert). If you’d like to see the casting sides, you may do so courtesy of our friends at MorphinLegacy.com, our friends at RangerBoard.com, as well as the folks of RangerCrew.com.

To see a scan of one of the castings ides (albeit edited to avoid spoilers), simply click READ MORE!

“Excellency, surely you remember me? Goldar, your faithful servant.”

Well we certainly do! And it would seem that Mattel does as well! The inaugural releases in the company’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Imaginext line have begun to hit retail in recent weeks and we’ve gotten our hands on one such set for gallery & review. Imaginext Goldar & Rita Repulsa!

This set takes the mighty Sorceress Rita Repulsa and shrinks her down while taking her most famous general and making that monster grow! Goldar is a simplistic but large and imposing toy. Featuring the pattented Imaginext Power Pad gimmick, Goldar can unleash his mighty wings or swing his sword! While Rita can mount behind Goldar’s head with her Magical Staff. 

While aimed at children (ages 3-8) this set will undoubtedly appeal to adult collectors and fans of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for it’s big play value. We’ve attached a selection of images to the front page but you can check out over 50 images of Imaginext Goldar & Rita Repulsa by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!
