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 In Space 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

The Power Rangers Super Megaforce – Power Rangers In Space Ranger Keys Set B comes with three different Ranger Keys – a translucent In Space Red Ranger, a translucent In Space Blue Ranger, and a In Space Yellow Ranger! Unfortunately, the In Space Pink Ranger was never released at retail and there are no plans currently for her to be released. If you wanted the In Space Silver Ranger you would need to pick up the Legendary Morpher Gift Set, of which he was one of 20 different Ranger Keys included in the set.

The best key out of the set is easily the translucent In Space Blue Ranger – but that’s just our opinion. Check out 25 images by clicking here or by clicking the “Discuss” link at the end of the post. Did you pick up this set? Do you like it? What was the best key in this set in your opinion? Sound off in our discussion thread!

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers we asked our users earlier this year to rank their Top 10 Power Rangers. We compiled the results in to a Top 20, and throughout the year we’ve been sharing the results! Today we’re ready to announce that the TokuNation users have voted Christopher Khayman Lee, who played Andros the Red Ranger from Power Rangers In Space, as the 8th Best Power Ranger of All Time!

When the evil space pirate Divatox destroyed the Power Rangers Turbo command center, zords, and powers, they decided to go off in to space and try to find, and save, the original mentor to the Power Rangers – Zordon – who had been taken captive by a being called Dark Specter on a distant planet. But before TJ, Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie could catch their breath, they were taken in to a space ship operated by a mysterious Red Ranger! He revealed himself as Andros, a possible sole-survivor of the planet KO-35, and upon learning of Zordon’s capture, quickly decided to go find his old friend. But when Astronema appeared, Andros had no choice but to learn to trust the humans and give them new Astro Morphers to become the Power Rangers In Space!

In what is considered a fan-favorite series, Andros and the other Power Rangers travel the galaxy trying to find Zordon. Along the way Andros searches for his long lost sister, has an old friend return to bolster their ranks, runs in to old friends and old enemies, and becomes the first Power Ranger to get a Battleizer, a super power up destined to sell more toys and started a tradition that continued all the way through Power Rangers Mystic Force and returned, in a sense, in Power Rangers Super Samurai.

The character Andros would return for a multi episode team up in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, and would star again in the 10th Anniversary episode “Forever Red” in the season titled Power Rangers Wild Force. Earlier this year, rumors sprung that perhaps the character Andros would return again, as an image of Christopher Khayman Lee holding a In Space Red Ranger card from the Power Rangers Action Card Game in an action pose circulated the Internet. We would sadly learn that he was not returning for the anniversary tribute episode in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Christopher Khayman Lee, born way back in 1978, took an interest in acting and the spotlight after seeing his sister have some moderate success. The role of Andros for Power Rangers In Space was his big break in his acting career. When brought on to the set, he states in a podcast with No Pink Spandex, that he was actually kept isolated from the other actors to really enhance the “loner” aspect that his character was supposed to exhibit in the beginning of the season. He stated that, at times, he felt some negativity towards him as the “new guy” as well as replacing a current actor as Red Ranger while being a newcomer himself. Christopher would go on to have a recurring role on the show “Safe Harbo”, and would last be seen on our televisions as a long haired student in a scene for the now-classic “That 70’s Show”.
