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!

Several new images of the upcoming special Kyoryuger VS Go-Busters have given us a close look at the villains behind this explosion of saurian Sentais!

The Kyoryugers are confronted by Space WarGod Boldos who is able to resurrect several fallen villains as “Neo Enemies.” Among the returning foes are Grifforzer (Goldar to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fans), Gailton (known as Zeltrax to Power Rangers Dino Thunder fans) and several Golems (perhaps better recognized as the Putty Patrollers from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers).

Go-Busters’ enemies Enter & Escape are also said to be resurrected but are not featured among the scans.

Kyoryuger VS Go-Busters airs January 18, 2014!
