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!

The previously seen Black & Gold Megazord was just revealed this past weekend at New York Toy Fair so we knew what to expect there, and thanks to Raz’s descriptions of the Dino Charge Multi-Packs we have some insight into those as well. Likewise it’s fairly obvious that the Megaforce Dragon Sword & Samurai Mega Blade appear to be some sort of special reissues of these toys from their individual lines.

However today brings confirmation on what exactly the Legacy Mighty Morphin Vehicle sets are. They have indeed been confirmed to be reissues of the Zord Vehicle Rangers from the Mighty Morphin 2010 relaunch toy line. Based on the actual images Raz himself has seen and what these previous releases looked like we can now confirm the Legacy Vehicles will indeed be rehashes of these items. No confirmation on paint, or plastic vs diecast differences of any kind yet.

Stay tuned as more information becomes available!

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!
