The power is on for the final time at TokuNation!

We’ve taken a look at 6 figures so far in Bandai of America’s Power Rangers 5″ Legacy Line for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie, and today we wrap up our coverage of this line with the 7th and final figure! Rounding out the 6 movie rangers is the Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie White Ranger!

As with our previously reviewed Movie Rangers this figure marks the first time ever that the Movie White Ranger has been portrayed properly in toy form. Oddly enough, though this figure comes with fewer accessories than all the others, it somehow winds up being the best executed of the set. The Movie White Ranger may not come with much but he does come with his one and only weapon, the trusty talking tiger saber, Saba! We break down the ins and outs of this figure, both positive & negative, in the review after the jump.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but the full gallery thread contains over 40 images! We’ve tried to fully showcase this figure and in fact the entire Legacy Movie lineup with this gallery. In the coming months TokuNation will return with more movie themed galleries as we prep for the 20th anniversary of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie! To catch up on our full coverage of this line just follow the links below!

It’s that time of year once again for the comic & toy convention season to get under way! And getting the ball rolling on both fronts is the upcoming Lexington Comic & Toy Con, from March 13th-15th! What began in 2012 as a con that garnered over 1000 guests has flourished in the years since to it’s height now, attracting upwards of 20,000 guests from the around the midwest & southeast!

What’s even more impressive is how the guest list for this con has grown from featuring just a few of your favorite Power Rangers actors, to being one of the nations premiere selections of ranger actors! This year the convention staff have pulled out all the stops to offer the BIGGEST selection of Power Rangers, & Indeed Super Sentai actors, possible! Not to mention a few other fantastic bonuses for Ultraman fans! Check out the full guest list as it pertains to the tokusatsu fandom below, as maintained by our very own uchihabro77! 

Aside from this star studded guest list, LexCon is also an opportunity for fans to make real world connections. As I’ve done in years past I will of course be there repping for TokuNation.com & the Talkin Toku Podcast. But many other groups and personalities in the tokusatsu fandom will also be in attendance like trekkieb47 of Ranger Command Power Hour and RiderJetfire of Dans Toku Rants. If you’re going to be in attendance be sure to post in our Lexington Comic & Toy Con 2015 thread. We’ll see you there!

Thanks to our friends over at Rangercrew we have yet another look at the forthcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie figure range due for release sometime next year. Previously seen at New York Comic Con, these official Bandai press photos give us a better look at the accessories that will be included with each figure. However for reasons unknown the White Ranger movie figure is missing from this set of images.

Fans of the movie will be pleased to know that Red and Yellow Rangers will come with alternate heads for their Power Scope and Power Beam abilities, which were entirely unique to the film. With the Pink Ranger figure previously revealed to have the Pterodactyl Thunder Whip, hopefully this will mean the Blue Ranger will have his Stega Stinger grappling device. Meanwhile Ivan Ooze will come with an alternate hand holding the flute used to destroy the Command Centre near the beginning of the film.

We’ll bring you more news about these highly anticipated figures’ release as it comes, but in the meantime check out these new images after the jump!

First revealed waaaaay back in June, we finally have images to confirm the upcoming Legacy Power Rangers figures from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie!

Seen for the first time these figures are modeled on the original Power Rangers suits from the classic 1995 MMPR film. Though the movie came out at the height of Power Rangers popularity there are actually very few toys that represent the things seen in the film. The armored up designs the rangers sported are the most criminally over looked though. But rectifying their absence from a toyline for almost 20 years Bandai of America has created this new assortment of Legacy Power Rangers! The assortment will contain 6 figures 5 of which are rangers (Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, & Pink). The 6th figure which has yet to be seen is the awesome villain of the original film, Ivan Ooze!

Defying all the odds it seems the sure bet of a White Ranger has been skipped for this assortment but will no doubt be released at a later time. In any case it appears that these figures are based on the looks the rangers had in the early part of the film before losing their powers, as indicated by the origianl power coins on their chests. They appear to include their awesome personal weapons that were created for the film in lieu of their TV show counterparts as well, though only Pink Ranger is shown with hers.

For now enjoy several press images of these exciting figures courtesy of the awesome people at Rangercrew!

Last week came the revelation that the Power Rangers Legacy toyline is far from over.  It was thanks to @razzle1337 on twitter that we learned of the existence of these upcoming items. Now we’ve got a little more clarity for what these upcoming items will be like. Updated info from Raz via TRU’s computer system indicates:

Legacy Movie 5” Figure – $16.99
– Assortment# 97020
– Toys R Us Item Number# 207678
– 6 Figure UPC’s found
– Figures from MMPR Movie
– Replicate original packaging
– Includes 1 battle gear item
– Assortment includes Ivan Ooze

Legacy Saba – $99.99
– Assortment# 97165
– Toys R Us Item Number# 206345
– Highly detailed replica
– Show accurate speaking
– Tiger animatronics
– Die cast
– Lights and sound

White Tigerzord – $79.99
– Assortment# 97205
– Toys R Us Item Number# 207708
– Die cast
– Zordbuilder compatible
– Morphs with MMPR Dragonzord

 

These juicy tidbits reveal that not only will we be getting at least 5  Power Ranger from the original theatrical film but also Ivan Ooze! Though it’s curious that Ivan would be in the assortment but there would be only 6 UPC’s total, 1 ranger may be left out in the initial assortments then. 

Legacy Saba will feature diecast as well as animatronic features for his mouth ensuring total accuracy.  And this new batch of info brings confirmation that the Legacy Tigerzord will feature the zordbuilder system. Love it or hate it the system appears to be here to stay. The information provided even specifically alludes to the Tigerzord’s ability to combine or “Morph” with the Dragonzord!
