You didn’t think we were done did you? That’s right – going through various files from our extensive coverage of this year’s San Diego Comic Con revealed a few tidbits of stuff that we left out with that whole “readjusting back to normal life” thing that you go through post-convention! This set of images is none other than the upcoming Legacy Blade Blaster!

Now, keep in mind these are images of a prototype, a not-ready-for-retail version. What ends up in our hands will LOOK very similar to this, but it will not necessarily be what you’re seeing in the display case. Speaking of the display case – let’s convince Bandai America to increase the lighting next year!!

Either way – this is a beautiful prop and we can’t wait to get it in our hands. As the Legacy line continues, Bandai America continues to increase the quality of the products they are putting out. And no matter how you spin it, that’s a win for fans and collectors alike. Check out the images by clicking the title of the story!

It’s time to show YOU the power of thunder! At this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2015, our friends at Bandai America pulled off one of the biggest reveals of the entire show when they unveiled the incredibly anticipated Legacy Thunder Megazord figure in their display with the rest of the Legacy items. Featuring plenty of diecast metal (why do you think it’s being hung up by wires!?) and said to be faithful to the show, this item immediately became one of our most viewed stories on TokuNation and shot up to the top of everyone’s “must have” list in terms of Power Rangers merchandise – including those who don’t even collect the merchandise!

We spent a lot of time trying to get the best shots possible to show you how the Legacy Thunder Megazord comes together and the incredible detail that went in to every little part of this figure. Click the story and check out 25 high resolution images.

The Legacy Thunder Megazord is due to ship out in November 2015 with an estimated release date of sometime in January 2016. There is no price point yet revealed. Please remember – this item is not the final retail version!

You may recall last year that Bandai of America had QUITE the display of Super Megazforce Ranger Keys. Well this year at their booth we’ve been treated to a huge display of current and fall releasing Dino Chargers from Power Rangers Dino Charge!

This very unique display not only includes some basic Chargers we’ve seen before but also a wide variety of brand new versions of previous chargers! New translucent plastics and metallic paint apps will be setting the fall assortments apart from earlier this year. In very much the same way Kyoryuger gave us multiple special releases of Zyudenchi. And not to be forgotten the SDCC exclusive Mighty Morphin Dino Charger set is also on display in all it’s glory!

Get ready to Charge It Up this fall with Bandai of America’s Power Rangers Dino Charge & Dino Super Charge toys!

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!

The Power is On!

Once again here at TokuNation we’re taking a look at a brand new figure from Bandai of America’s 5″ Legacy Line. The original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie Black Ranger!

As with our previously reviewed 5″ Movie Red Ranger this figure marks the first time ever that the Movie Black Ranger has been portrayed properly in toy form. While nicely detailed the articulation is a mixed bag and the accessories are a bit on the lite side. The Legacy Movie Black Ranger specifically comes with his Power Blaster sidearm as well as a holster but unfortunately that’s it. We break down the ins and outs of this figure, both positive & negative in the review after the jump.

We’ve also attached a selection of images to this post but the full gallery thread contains 50 images of this highly anticipated new figure.  Be sure to check out the images & full review, with more than a few fun bonuses included, and be sure to share your thoughts on the 5″ Legacy Black Red Ranger in our gallery thread!

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.
