The boys of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back at it with the release of their 9th episode, Attack of the No No Cat (blame Tom for that one). Join your hosts Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu) as they touch on a number of topics from last week in the world of tokusatsu!

Some of the hot topics discussed – their reactions on the international trailer for the new Godzilla movie, their thoughts on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic from Free Comic Book Day and just why Saban Brands did nothing to promote it (as well as some behind-the-scenes knowledge in the world of comics from our very own Sentai Tamashii, who works a freelance colorist and has done jobs for Marvel, DC, IDW Publishing, and Archie Comics), some good old fashioned toy talk with Kachidoki Arms and S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold, and the usual show talk of Kamen Rider Gaim and Ressha Sentai ToQGer. But there’s even more stuff that’s discussed throughout the episode, including the No No Cat, spooky haunted microphones and/or alien contact, follow up on our last toy debate on Tamashii Nations and Super Sentai Figuarts, and so much more. Take a listen below!

Kickback also discusses the Fruit Henshin Contest and some details of the upcoming crossover episode with our good friends from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast scheduled for later this month. All the show details are below – do us a favor and click “Discuss” and share your thoughts! Till next time!

There was a lot of folks from #RangerNation at Robo Toy Fest this year, including Bruno and Mia frin @MMPRToys! Known for their extensive video reviews (which you can find by clicking here), they were at Robo Toy Fest and got basically our first in-hand look, feel, and quasi-review of the upcoming Legacy Dragonzord. Check out the video review below!

With a big special thanks to our friends @bboyrealm and @DansTokuRants on Twitter, we have some new images of this hot addition to your legacy collection.

We’re officially 1 week away from the 13th annual Free Comic Book Day 2014! Saturday May 3rd this year, will be a time for fans of comics new and old to go out to their Local Comic Chop and grab some free books, pick up some great deals, and have a good time!

Joining the fray of this event for the first time ever are the Might Morphin Power Rangers! Publisher Papercutz is bringing the original power team back in a new way with it’s special one-shot Free Comic Book Day Issue. The question is, on a day when you’re generally limited by how many free books you can pick up at your LCS, is this one deserving of a spot in the stack?

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a FULL review & summary of the issue. Be warned this will completely spoil the issue for you. Read on at your own risk.

It’s Morphin Time!

When Bandai of America first announced the 20th Anniversary Legacy Morpher, the first thing most fans and collectors asked was if and when we would ever get a Green & White Ranger version. As we know by now, we would have a Toys’R’Us release of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and White Ranger hit shelves early in 2014. But before we had that, the only option was the elusive and very pricey San Diego Comic Con 2013 Exclusive Gold-Plated Legacy Morpher.

Limited to 1000 pieces and available only at San Diego Comic Con 2013, this version of the morpher was, for a small time, the most sought over Power Rangers merchandise quite possibly in the history of the franchise. I remember when I purchased mine I had offers for double or triple what I paid for as I walked past a line of hopeful attendees.

TokuNation.com is proud to be present to you a high resolution gallery of over 50 images of this exclusive piece of merchandise, with comparison shots to the mass retail version. If you have any additional picture requests, please post them in the discussion thread. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy this (in my opinion) beautiful exclusive!

The original trio of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back together for the first time in a month! Join Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu)) in their latest adventure of discussing all things tokusatsu! The last time the group was together was before events like NJCC and LexCon, and now that they’re together, they spend some time remembering the conventions. Listen to Tom’s story of how he missed purchasing a holy grail for his collection by a matter of minutes! Find out what Steve Cardenas (Rocky, Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger #2, Zeo Blue Power Ranger) did to troll Jordan at LexCon!

Gears shift as the crew then discusses the recent developments on Kamen Rider Gaim. What was everyone’s most “OMG” moment when watching the show? What are their thoughts on DJ Sagura? The trainbow is tasted once more as Tom and Jordan discuss the Shadow Line extensively with Ressha Sentai ToQGer and Jordan makes a bold prediction for just who ToQ #6 will end up being! Finally, Chris gushes over the episode “Spirit of the Tiger” from Power Rangers Super Megaforce. But, as with anything Power Rangers related, someone ends up hogging the spotlight as the crew discusses, for the last time in a public format, the entire debacle that was Morphin Madness Round 3.

For those who were caught up heavily in Morphin Madness, this is your chance to get the scoop behind the controversial Twitter campaign with the hash tag #NoMoreTommy from the creator of that movement himself – Jordan. What was the real purpose behind it? Was there any spite attached to it, and if so, why? Jordan reveals all this episode. Check out the episode details below and take a listen for yourself!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties with the audio on this podcast. The problem has been identified and will be corrected going forward, but sadly the original source for the audio is lost forever, meaning the only way you can hear this episode is through the current quality. After spending a few days trying to fix the audio from the source material, the decision was made by all three hosts to release the episode because, honestly, we thought it was a pretty damn good episode. We do apologize for the lackluster quality of the audio and hope you will still give the episode a listen. Again, future episodes will not have this problem.

On the heels of this year’s LexCon, arguably the most popular Power Ranger of all time, Jason David Frank who played the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Red Ranger in both Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, as well as the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, has released the second episode of his self-created reality show titled My Morphin Life.  The video is below.

This episode features what many of us have come to known as convention burnout and convention hangover, where the crowds and the excitement literally drain every bit of energy from your body.  Follow Jason David Frank as he attempts to survive LexCon 2013.  This video features interviews with other former Power Rangers about Jason David Frank, including Walter Jones, Blake Foster (who is credited as his character’s name instead of his actual name), Catherine Sutherland, Karan Ashley, and the always lovable Jason Narvy.  Click on the discussion link to share your thoughts about the episode!
