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!

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!

According to a brand new Entertainment Earth[/URL] listing, the Legacy Megazord will indeed be receiving a reissue in May 2015! Now with a low low retail price of $59.99!

This is great news for collectors who’ve been having to pay upwards of $200 or more for a Legacy Megazord on the aftermarket to complete their Legacy Ultrazords recently. With the recent news that Toys R Us has cancelled any further orders of older Legacy product, what exactly could this new pre-order mean? Will this reissue be exclusive to Entertainment Earth? We’ll update you 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!

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!
