Rounding out our coverage of San Diego Comic Con 2015 we have a couple gems to share with you. Our own Kickback just sat down with Bandai of America for an interview on current & upcoming products and a few other goodies fans have been clamoring for with Power Rangers Legacy & Dino Charge.

Starting things off we discussed Power Rangers Legacy items. These releases were apparently never meant to be chronological like collectors had assumed, it happened to just turn out that way. Bandai knows that the Ninja & Shogun Megazords as well as the Falconzord are all very obvious choices for the future. Power Rangers Zeo is also internally very popular. They also think a Legacy Gold Zeo Ranger Staff is a interesting idea ;) Legacy Tor was mentioned as well but as a whole they don’t want to destroy collectors’ wallets.

The Thunder Megazord shown at SDCC should be able to assumed the Assault Team sled mode, but they’ll get with their designers and give us an answer post-con. The Legacy Blade Blaster displayed was entirely a mock-up as the retail version wasn’t ready yet. They would like to do a role play item and a mech/figure item together if possible kinda like Saba and Tigerzord. Again they don’t want to break the bank. Fans have also asked recently about a Black & Gold Dragonzord, so we posed that question to Bandai. There response is “would fans buy it?”

For Dino Charge Bandai still asserts that if a Ranger appears in show, of which there’s likely to be 11 between DC & Supercharge, then there’s a very good chance to see it in toy form.  When asked about any possible gender swaps or sash swaps in the show, they referred back to the first answer. Bandai is also taking this position with Megazords, if it appears in the show footage it’s very likely to receive a toy. Villain figures are a key point of interest to Bandai as well since this is the first time since MMPR that waves are predominantly villains. Poisandra however is still cloudy. While Bandai is looking into it, it depends entirely on the characters trajectory in the show. They simply don’t know currently. The same can be said for why no Supercharge items were displayed – if it hasn’t been revealed in the show then they can’t necessarily show it in toy form without approval from Saban Brands.

Fans of Ranger Keys from Super Megaforce will also be sobered a bit.  Currently no plans for more Ranger Keys as the play pattern is no longer current.  Speaking of exclusives Bandai confirmed that they are upping their game for New York Comic Con to match the cons size. They will have an exclusive of some kind for this years show.

Bandai of America takes the fan opinion very seriously. They also want to cater to collectors and use the Legacy line as well as conventions to try and do that. They encourage fans to let them know what they think at conventions and such.

We’d like to thank Bandai of America for their time over the weekend for answering our questions and being awesome in general. The team is super excited for the future and can’t wait to show you what’s in store next. They hope you’ll come see them at this year’s NYCC.

More coverage is rolling in from San Diego Comic Con 2015! Just now our own Kickback and the SDCC network crew attended Saban Brand’s Entertainment’s Power Rangers Dino Charge panel! Presented below is a round up of the information from that panel as well as pictures from it!

The core cast of 5 rangers & Claire entered the panel each with their own unique spin on things, like Yoshi doing a flip & Camille punching the air. The panel began with some basic info about the actors like how this SDCC was Camille, Michael, James & Claires first ever, and how all were very excited. Everyone discussed their favorite seasons of the franchise. We got some insight into how Yoshi came from fan/stunt actor to full blown Power Ranger. Some great fun stories about each of the actors as well, like James being a terrible tour guide in his native New Zealand. The crowd and fans everywhere agree, this cast is fantastic and fun in person.

Chip Lynn along with Saban Brands Entertainment EP Brian Castatinni then took stage to assure fans that in future episodes we would see more rangers and that the joke was on us, things we thought they missed? They didn’t. According to him there are “no bad episodes this season”. Chip restated in no uncertain terms that “When this season is done, you’re going to say they were some of the best episodes of Power Rangers EVER.” The crowd was pleased and ready for more. After dashing hopes about past Dino Rangers ever returning we were treated to 2 videos. One a fall Dino Charge episodes trailer, which at last revealed it’s August 29th return date! And another which was a 2016 trailer for Dino Supercharge, the footage was actually reused from the Licensing Expo Marketing Teaser.

While we didn’t get to see the people behind the suits these video treated us to Gold, Purple, & Graphite Ranger footage! And after this 5 suit actors arrived wearing the brand new Dino Drive power up suits from Dino Supercharge!

The above article contains a round up of the pertinent information from the panel. Please click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this page to check out the full breakdown of the panel in tweet form.

Licensing Expo 2015 is well underway and while we’ve had a few snippets of information leak out, we just got some significant reveals courtesy of  Saban Brands Entertainment’s very own Marketing Teaser for Power Rangers Dino Super Charge! Photos courtesy of Rangercrew who are currently in attendance!

The images from the teaser give us a lot of food for thought with the upcoming 2016 premiere of Super charge. We see some great looks at the Dino Drive mode of the core 6 rangers as well as a new weapon being wielded by Dino Drive Red & Gold. The appearance of monsters from the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger soruce footage including Chaos, Demon Torin, & Endorf as well as Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger/Power Ranger Dino Thunder’s Geildon/Zeltrax piques our interest for sure. And we get teases of the upcoming Aqua, Purple, and Graphite (mis-labelled Silver) Rangers!

However we have to remember to take all the images with a dose of heavy skepticism. As we well know from previous Super Megaforce teasers, tons of footage that never actually makes it to the final cut of the show can be thrown into these videos. While the content here is indicative of what we could have, it may not be entirely consistent with what we will get. But for now discuss the awesome shots from the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Super Charge!

Saban Brands has distributed an official press release for the 2016 Power Rangers season, Power Rangers Dino Super Charge! This press release contains several very interesting details about the future of this series!


Saban Brands today announced Saban’s Power Rangers Dino Super Charge as the title of the upcoming season of the Power Rangers television series, which will premiere on Nickelodeon in early 2016. This super-charged season will follow the Power Rangers as they continue their quest to unite all 10 Energems by tapping into brand-new battle gear, Zords and Megazords to save the universe. Additionally, for the first time in franchise history, there will be 10 Power Rangers on the same team. Power Rangers Dino Super Charge will also continue to spotlight the series’ core themes of friendship, teamwork, responsibility and helping others for fans of all ages.

“With the current season, Power Rangers Dino Charge, we’ve already seen an overwhelming response and it very quickly became a huge success, as fans were excited for the return of the popular dinosaur theme for the first time in more than 10 years,” said Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands. “With Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, the new season will still feature the same amazing team of Power Rangers, but will be super-charged with history-making twists and turns and, of course, epic new villains, Zords and Megazords, making this one of the best seasons yet!”

Fans can watch the current season, Saban’s Power Rangers Dino Charge on Nickelodeon every Saturday at 12 p.m. (ET/PT). All-new episodes of Power Rangers Dino Charge will return this August on Nickelodeon.

New episodes of Power Rangers Dino Charge return to the airwaves in roughly two months! In addition, the official images from Saban feature another new upgrade for the Dino Charge Red Ranger: the form known as Carnival in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Super Dino News!

Thanks to twitter user @Rickman0804 for this one! Revealed via a Dino Charger packaging insert image we have our first look at the 5″ Graphite Ranger figure from Power Rangers Dino!

Graphite Ranger, as well as the other extra rangers this season have yet to receive much or any attention yet from Bandai Of America’s toyline. However we knew from our Toy Fair 2015 coverage that the Packy Zord for Graphite was on it’s way. So It’s good to see the extra rangers have NOT been forgotten by the 5″ line!
