Attention all Power Rangers fans in or near Denver, Colorado! This weekend is the third annual Denver Comic Con and it’s the largest convention yet! For those of you who are fans of brightly colored spandex wearing heroes (and a main villain), this is a great opportunity to meet some of your childhood heroes.

Last and certainly not least is Robert Axelrod, the voice of the evil Lord Zedd from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (and Armadillomon from Digimon Season 2)!.

Your scheduling block is pretty simple. On Friday, June 13th from 11:00am to 11:50am, join Walter Jones, David Yost, and Robert Axelrod in the Power Rangers: Morphin Time! panel.

One of the most anticipated S.H. Figuarts of the year has just been released! S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger is of course from the classic series Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Or if you’re picking up the US release then he’s the original Blue Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! Either way this is one fantastic figure to add to your collection!

On his own Tricera Ranger is an absolutely gorgeous figure. In this photographers opinion he’s the best of the Zyurangers released thus far. This figure nails the look of his onscreen counterpart near perfectly. As you can see from the images in this and our previous Zyuranger/MMPR galleries, Tricera/Blue Ranger is perfectly suited to vehicles released in both the MMPR & Zyuranger toylines,  just like his team mates Dan/Billy will look right at home on any of them.

Tricera Ranger includes not only the standard accessories of extra hands, a Ranger Stick, and Ranger Slinger. But he also comes with his signature Tricera Lances as well as their combined form. AND he includes the newly molded Sabre Daggers & Ptera Arrow necessary to form the Howling Cannon! Of course for our Power Rangers fans out there that means you just got 2 steps closer to forming the Power Blaster! These accessories, as well as those included with S.H. Figuarts Mammoth Ranger gets us most of the way there, but the appropriate Mammoth Breaker will be included with the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger.

If you’re on the fence about this figure, don’t be. S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger/Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger will not disappoint. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see over 60 images of this wonderful figure!

Following hot on the heels of Lord Zedd’s reveal this morning, we now have official images of the ENTIRE lineup of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers in the 5″ Legacy line! Coming soon to a Toys ‘R’ Us near you are all 7 of the original Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers! Red, Green, White, Black, Pink, Blue & Yellow!

Of note is that a standard Red Ranger is not solicited, only an Armored Red Ranger with the Dragon Shield. These figures aren’t yet listed for sale on the TRU.CA website like Zedd is but you can expect them to be released sometime this summer as well.

Thanks to Fury Diamond of Rangercrew for bringing these images to our attention.
