“We need Megazord power, NOW!”

SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord! 

The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.

Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.

The biggest and most exciting news prior to this year’s Power Morphicon was the Kickstarter launch for the Renegade Games project Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid. Renegade Games was in full attendance at Power Morphicon pulling in quite a large crowd to demo the game first hand and to check out all the proposed and upcoming game pieces thanks to continued support of the Kickstarter.

Check out some painted sample pieces from the game by clicking the title of the story! They are well done and are quite eye-popping! Also be sure to tune in to our review of a brief play through we got to experience while in attendance at Power Morphicon!

The biannual Power Morphicon has come and gone but we’re still sharing images from the event! There were so many things to take pictures of and so little time to do it that we’re still catching up! Hasbro pulled out all the stops in their first-ever Power Morphicon by cracking open the vaults and showing off some Legendary Rangers goodness in a number of costumes and props from the last 25 years.

We have taken high resolution photos of every single costume on display at the show. To check out all the delicious pictures, click the title of the story! Power Morphicon will return to Anaheim, California in 2020. We’ll see you there!

We reported on this game a bit earlier in the month, but as of today the Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid tabletop game Kickstarter is officially live! And that’s not all either. Having been active for less than 24 hours, the Kickstarter campaign has already raised $70,000+ of it’s $100,000 goal! 

That is an amazing achievement for this project. Fans clearly known what they want and are ready to help fund it. Pledges can be made in 4 tiers, $75, $150, $240, and $300. We’ve included images of all the features and currently announced expansions for the game as well, to tide you over as this campaign clearly move towards it’s full funding goal. With nearly 4 weeks left to go for funding, there’s now way this excellent project won’t meet it’s goal.

Fans of the Legacy Power Rangers toys are well aware of the massive restock coming this winter to online retailers of all the older Legacy roleplay items and Megazords. Today, GameStop has added even more upcoming items to their systems for older Legacy Power Rangers figures including the yet-to-be-released Legacy Psycho Black and Legacy Dino Thunder Yellow figures.

You’re looking at a restock of all seven Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures, all five Metallic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures, all five Dino Thunder figures, and all five In Space figures.

Nick Hurst posted in the Facebook Group “The Ranger Store” pictures of the GameStop computer systems showing all the upcoming listings. The new figures are listed below.  They are not labeled as exclusives so the chance they end up at other retailers is there.  The figures and their item numbers are below.

  • Legacy Psycho Black – 177084
  • Legacy Dino Thunder Yellow – 177096

The remainder of the new listings of older figures with their items is below.

  • Legacy Dino Thunder Black – 177090
  • Legacy Dino Thunder Blue – 177094
  • Legacy Dino Thunder Red – 177092
  • Legacy MMPR Black Ranger (BAF) – 177002
  • Legacy MMPR Yellow Ranger (BAF) – 177022
  • Legacy MMPR Pink Ranger (BAF) – 177028
  • Legacy MMPR Red Ranger (BAF) – 177018
  • Legacy MMPR White Ranger (BAF) – 177025
  • Legacy MMPR Green Ranger (BAF) – 177016
  • Legacy MMPR Black Ranger (Metallic) – 177030
  • Legacy MMPR Blue Ranger (Metallic) – 177066
  • Legacy MMPR Pink Ranger (Metallic) – 177072
  • Legacy MMPR Red Ranger (Metallic) – 177032
  • Legacy MMPR Yellow Ranger (Metallic) – 177068
  • Legacy Psycho Red Red Ranger – 177086
  • Legacy Psycho Blue Ranger – 177088
  • Legacy In Space Black Ranger – 177074
  • Legacy In Space Blue Ranger – 177078
  • Legacy In Space Pink Ranger – 177082
  • Legacy In Space Red Ranger – 177076
  • Legacy In Space Yellow Ranger – 177080

There is currently no ETA on when these will be released but our assumption is sometime this winter if not very early in 2019. It is important to note that just because these items are listed in the system does NOT mean that they will be releasing, only that the manufacturer has solicited the items to retailers in preparation to begin taking orders for fulfillment.

With no listing for Psycho Pink or Psycho Yellow, the fears that those figures never made it past the early prototype stage before Bandai America pulled the plug are beginning to rise. Our fingers are crossed that they show up eventually, sometime, in someone’s system. But with the clock ticking until Hasbro’s official release date of product, the chances are growing slimmer.

Special thanks to @liladam87 for helping compile all the information!

In either an attempt to cash-in at the end of their master toy license deal or cleaning out magical mythological warehouses, Bandai America has listed through EntertainmentEarth.com a massive influx of older Legacy Power Rangers items with a December 2018 release date. This will be your last chance to own these classic and someday vintage items before Hasbro begins full production of product for the Power Rangers brand. Check out the listings below.

– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Power Morpher
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Green Ranger / White Ranger Morpher
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Dragonzord
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Thunder Megazord
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Tigerzord
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Ninja Megazord
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Falconzord
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Dragon Dagger
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers White Ranger Saba Sword
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Blade Blaster

Ironically (or not), all these items were originally exclusive to Toys’R’Us and later made available through online retailers in secondary releases or post initial wave releases. However, if you missed one (looking at you, Saba) now is your chance to grab one before you can only ever pay aftermarket.

Shout! Factory is set to re-release the entirety of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ 3 season run on a DVD Steelbook in honor of the series 25th anniversary. However, the big surprise and draw of this re-release is that it will also included Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie on Blu-Ray for the first time ever! Fans have eagerly waited for Shout! to have the rights to release the original film and in Blu-Ray form, so this should be welcome news to many.

This massive 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray set will retail for $199.99, available August 7th 2018! Here’s hoping that at some point MMPR The Movie can be released individually as well. Purchasing the set from Shout! Factory’s website will also score you an exclusive 18X24″ lithograph by Paul Shipper. Pre order the set HERE.
