If you haven’t heard of Denver Comic Con then it’s time you got yourself familiarized! The first show happened in 2012 and was met with great praise for being well-organized and a fun experience. Then in 2013, they were met with record number increases, so much that they had to turn people away from entering the show, as it was entirely sold out (we’re talking an increase from a few thousand to TENS of THOUSANDS with people getting in line for tickets at 1am)!

And now in 2014 they are finally dabbling in the genre of tokusatsu, announcing David Yost (the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger) and Walter Jones (the original Mighty Morphin Black Ranger) as special guests. Both Yost and Jones are still relatively new to the convention circuits, only recently in the last year or so getting in to conventions.

Denver Comic Con will be held June 13th, 14th, and 15th at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver, Colorado. Tickets go on sale Cyber Monday (Monday, December 2nd).

I will be at the show – will you?

Show time begins TOMORROW at 12am EST/9PM PST till 4am EST/1am PST, and continues again Saturday and Sunday evenings. Again, all of this is on TeenNick.

Are you going to tune in? And what are some of YOUR favorite classic episodes of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?

Internet personality Vangelus interviewed Bluefin Tamashii Nations regarding their business and how exactly SH Figuarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers happened. He asked if we could ever see an armored Black Ranger, based on the Season 1 episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers where the Black Ranger took the Dragon Armor from the Green Ranger to battle the Oysterizer.

At around the 4:34 mark, Adam Newman and Xaiver Lim from Bluefin have what is can only be described as a scripted banter back and forth about “Hey, we should do that as a SDCC exclusive and package it with this!”.

Check out the interview below.

What do you think? Do you want an SH Figuarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Armored Black Ranger?

**It should be noted that the Armored Black Ranger and Shieldless Green Ranger these particular figures would be based on only appear in the Zyu2 footage created by Toei, for Saban, to increase the episode count of MMPR. Though Dragon/Green Ranger has appeared at other times without the shield he still included his arm bands. Technically speaking this would make these the first ever US exclusive rangers or variations on a standard costume to be made into SH Figuarts! A small step in the direction of Battlizers, Spirit Rangers, Titanium, and more!

Bandai’s Tamashii Webshop has updated with official images of the forthcoming S.H. Figuarts Mammoth Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger! Due for release in February 2014, Mammoth Ranger will come packaged with the standard Zyuranger weapons as well as his own personal weapon the Mammoth Breaker. Best of all is the confirmation is that he will indeed include the Howling Cannon!

Mammoth Ranger is a Tamashii Web Exclusive and priced 3675 yen, so be sure to hit up your favourite middleman for orders. However those in the US could also wait for Bluefin’s inevitable Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Black Ranger release if they’d prefer!

Check out the images after the jump!

under Super Sentai

Recent Figureoh scans have finally revealed S.H.Figuarts Mammoth Ranger in addition to S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold.

Kyoryu Gold will be coming out in March for 3990 yen while Mammoth Ranger will be seeing a release in February for 3675 yen. Sadly both figures will be a web exclusive though a North American Release for Mammoth Ranger as MMPR’s Black Ranger is more then likely to happen.

As reported by Henshin Justice, an updated version of the Legacy Morpher was spotted at retail by Jan Hernandez of Youtube.

Owners of the Legacy Morpher will know that the Morpher will play the original Mighty Morphin theme song if an activation button is pressed and held but only if the button is held.

The SDCC version fixed this by making it so that the theme song plays just by pushing the button and now it looks like the Morphers you’ll be able to purchase at retail will have this retool! 

You can watch Jan Hernandez’s video in the link below:

Bandai Tamashii and Bluefin have both begun releasing these figure in Japan and the US respectively. Dragon/Green Ranger & Tyranno/Red Ranger are only just seeing release with Pterra/Pink Ranger confirmed as a web exclusive in Japan this fall and a US retail release as well.

This is the first time the core 5 Zyurangers/Power Rangers have been shown on display together and confirms their future releases! Each of course includes their signature weapons.

After some heavy speculation, former Black Ranger Johnny Young Bosch (better known as Adam in the latter section of Mighty Morphin, Zeo, Turbo and from cameo appearances through In Space and Operation Overdrive) will not appear in the upcoming new season.

The actor confirmed details via his Facebook page:


Keep getting asked this but to set the record straight…no I wasn’t officially asked to return for Megaforce. Most of us were interested in the thought of returning but it’s probably best we didn’t all get invited…
