It’s Morphin’ Time once again as Hasbro takes a stab at the classic Dino Megazord from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! Revealed via leaked listing information yesterday, this officially display prototype of the set gives us our first look at it from New York Toy Fair. Our man on the ground TokuChris was kind enough to snap several photos for us as well as share some first impressions.

The Buildable Dino Megazord is roughly the size of Bandai America’s old 2010/Legacy mold Megazord, Hasbro sought to re-reate the classic play pattern of the Megazord for the original series, this release is intended for kids and will be released in 3 parts, each priced at $14.99. The T-Rex with Sword, the Triceratops with Sabertooth Tiger, and Mastodon with Pterodactyl. Hasbro’s official description of the set reads as follows:

The Mighty Morphin Rangers call upon their powerful Zords to lead the Rangers into battle. The BUILDABLE DINO MEGAZORD Assortment includes the TYRANNOSAURUS REX DINO ZORD figure, TRICERATOPS AND SABERTOOTH TIGER DINO ZORD 2-pack figures and MASTODON AND PTERODACTYL DINO ZORD 2-pack figures. Combine all figures to build the DINO MEGAZORD. To protect the Earth, the Tyrannosaurus Rex Dinozord carries the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger into battle, while the Sabertooth Tiger and Triceratops Dinozords carry the Mighty Morphin Blue and Yellow Rangers into battle and the Mastodon and Pterodactyl Dinozords carry the Mighty Morphin Black and Pink Rangers into battle. Kids can imagine the Rangers blasting into battle and joining their teammates to form the Dino Megazord!

“Sit tight buddy, I’ll take care of this guy!”

Set to impress Angela with a pair of pearl earrings for their big date, Zack has no idea that Rita Repulsa has tricked him into taking the Pearls of Stillness! Spellbound to freeze everyone as soon as they’re worn, the Power Rangers as well as Zack’s date are stuck. Now it’s up to Zack & Tommy to face off against the Oysterizer on their own. And in a moment of need, the Green Ranger’s mighty shield can be passed to another. Wielding the Dragon Shield himself, the Black Ranger takes on the Oysterizer!

You may recall that this form was the basis of an SDCC 2014 S.H. Figuarts exclusive, which I reviewed way back when. 5 years on and we’re getting a brand new take on it with this Lightning Collection figure. The Dragon Shield Black Ranger (5 years ago known as the Armored Black Ranger) originates from the “Zyu2” era of Saban commissioned & Toei produced footage to flesh out the end of MMPR season 1. So this interesting form is exclusive to American aired footage and believe it or not, this unique power up is featured in less than 1 minute of actual screen time. That’s it! But once again we’ve been treated to a truly wonderful figure of this unique design. Armed with the Blade Blaster and Power Axe this figure will be a perfect addition to your already Mighty Morphin collection.

As we approach SDCC 2019, many collector’s are expecting a number of new Power Rangers Lightning Collection reveals. While the SDCC exclusive Red & Gold Ranger 2-pack was revealed earlier this month, we had yet to see any new announcements for retail release.

Today, Screenrant has exclusively revealed the upcoming Lightning Collection MMPR Dragon Shield Black Ranger! More commonly known as the Armored Black Ranger, this iconic form of the Black Ranger made it’s single episode debut During MMPR Season 2 as part of the “Zyu 2” footage. This figure retails for $19.99 will be released as a Walgreen’s exclusive and you can read their item description below:

“It’s Morphin Time! Introducing a new era of POWER RANGERS collectibles with Hasbro’s all-new POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION 6” Figures! The LIGHTNING COLLECTION features over two decades of iconic characters from this storied franchise, and Hasbro is excited to bring its own take to this premium line. The LIGHTNING COLLECTION’s highly-articulated, 6-inch figures will have best-in-class detailing and design, and will feature Photo Real technology for realistic actor likenesses. In the MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS series, the Green Ranger loans the power of the Dragon Shield to the Black Ranger to help defeat one of Rita’s monsters. The MIGHTY MORPHIN DRAGON SHIELD BLACK RANGER Figure has over 20 points of articulation and includes two different heads that can be swapped—one of the Ranger in his helmet, and another without as Zack Taylor from the original MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS series. The figure also comes a dragon dagger, power axe, power blaster, and an extra pair of hands for more ways to play or display. Look for other collectible figures in this series. Each sold separately. Available exclusively at Walgreens.”

As the first of what are sure to be many Power Rangers store exclusives, how excited are you for the Dragon Shield Black Ranger? Let us know in the thread below!

It’s sexy time! That’s right Power Rangers fans – it’s time to power up your foreplay game in the bedroom and what better way to do it than to bring in everyones’ favorite Power Rangers series from 1993! Yandy.com has available (NOTE: link not safe for work), RIGHT NOW, sexy and sleek Mighty Morphin Power Rangers themed lingerie for you and/or your partner(s)! Yes, that’s right – Power Rangers lingerie.

Surprise your significant other(s) with the Red Ranger‘s white mesh panties, the Black Ranger‘s teasing teddy, the Pink Ranger‘s skirted lace panties, the Yellow Ranger‘s delicately trimmed and cut panties, the Blue Ranger‘s matching g-string, or the Green Ranger‘s boy shorts with a cheeky back cut!

In what can only be a massive oversight in licensing (is this even licensed?), the Green Ranger‘s sexy lingerie doesn’t come with a dragon shield. What a missed opportunity at turning the heart-wrenching and emotional loss of the Green Ranger‘s power in to a scene replayed in the bedroom time and time again.

The best part of all of this? The one-liners used to grab your attention. Rest in peace, Power Rangers In Space morph call – you will never be thought of the same. If this is your thing – go grab a pair and may the power protect you.

“We need Megazord power, NOW!”

SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord! 

The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.

Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.

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!

We reported on this game a bit earlier in the month, but as of today the Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid tabletop game Kickstarter is officially live! And that’s not all either. Having been active for less than 24 hours, the Kickstarter campaign has already raised $70,000+ of it’s $100,000 goal! 

That is an amazing achievement for this project. Fans clearly known what they want and are ready to help fund it. Pledges can be made in 4 tiers, $75, $150, $240, and $300. We’ve included images of all the features and currently announced expansions for the game as well, to tide you over as this campaign clearly move towards it’s full funding goal. With nearly 4 weeks left to go for funding, there’s now way this excellent project won’t meet it’s goal.

Fans of the Legacy Power Rangers toys are well aware of the massive restock coming this winter to online retailers of all the older Legacy roleplay items and Megazords. Today, GameStop has added even more upcoming items to their systems for older Legacy Power Rangers figures including the yet-to-be-released Legacy Psycho Black and Legacy Dino Thunder Yellow figures.

You’re looking at a restock of all seven Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures, all five Metallic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures, all five Dino Thunder figures, and all five In Space figures.

Nick Hurst posted in the Facebook Group “The Ranger Store” pictures of the GameStop computer systems showing all the upcoming listings. The new figures are listed below.  They are not labeled as exclusives so the chance they end up at other retailers is there.  The figures and their item numbers are below.

  • Legacy Psycho Black – 177084
  • Legacy Dino Thunder Yellow – 177096

The remainder of the new listings of older figures with their items is below.

  • Legacy Dino Thunder Black – 177090
  • Legacy Dino Thunder Blue – 177094
  • Legacy Dino Thunder Red – 177092
  • Legacy MMPR Black Ranger (BAF) – 177002
  • Legacy MMPR Yellow Ranger (BAF) – 177022
  • Legacy MMPR Pink Ranger (BAF) – 177028
  • Legacy MMPR Red Ranger (BAF) – 177018
  • Legacy MMPR White Ranger (BAF) – 177025
  • Legacy MMPR Green Ranger (BAF) – 177016
  • Legacy MMPR Black Ranger (Metallic) – 177030
  • Legacy MMPR Blue Ranger (Metallic) – 177066
  • Legacy MMPR Pink Ranger (Metallic) – 177072
  • Legacy MMPR Red Ranger (Metallic) – 177032
  • Legacy MMPR Yellow Ranger (Metallic) – 177068
  • Legacy Psycho Red Red Ranger – 177086
  • Legacy Psycho Blue Ranger – 177088
  • Legacy In Space Black Ranger – 177074
  • Legacy In Space Blue Ranger – 177078
  • Legacy In Space Pink Ranger – 177082
  • Legacy In Space Red Ranger – 177076
  • Legacy In Space Yellow Ranger – 177080

There is currently no ETA on when these will be released but our assumption is sometime this winter if not very early in 2019. It is important to note that just because these items are listed in the system does NOT mean that they will be releasing, only that the manufacturer has solicited the items to retailers in preparation to begin taking orders for fulfillment.

With no listing for Psycho Pink or Psycho Yellow, the fears that those figures never made it past the early prototype stage before Bandai America pulled the plug are beginning to rise. Our fingers are crossed that they show up eventually, sometime, in someone’s system. But with the clock ticking until Hasbro’s official release date of product, the chances are growing slimmer.
