If you’re a fan of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers then you might be interested to know that Jason David Frank, who played Tommy Oliver the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has released the first episode of his documentary My Morphin Life through the popular YouTube channel BatInTheSun. The video is shown below. If you’re hoping for some cool behind-the-scenes Power Rangers footage, you’ll be sad to see that there is none. And there looks to be none in the next episode. This series looks to be, for the moment, strictly about the man behind the helmet, Jason David Frank.

NOTE! If you only see a black screen with audio, change the video’s resolution settings, then switch it back to what you want. This will fix the problem immediately.

So what did you think? Are you going to tune in to the next episode of My Morphin Life? What could be added or removed from the show to make it better, or is it pretty awesome as is? Sound off!

After posting official images last week, Bandai UK has uploaded a video to it’s youtube account showcasing the features of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Dragon Dagger!

According to the video’s description:

Coming to the UK 2014 The Legacy Dragon Dagger includes 3 battle sound effects activate by pressing the keys. Activate 2 further zord summon sounds and the theme song when the mouth piece is pressed changing the keys functions.

The nice thing about the theme music played on this piece versus the Legacy Morpher? It actually has the lyrics “Go Go Power Rangers”!!

Thanks to the Bandai UK Facebook page, we have the first packaging images of the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Dragon Dagger exclusive from Toys’R’Us! With the UK Toy Fair coming at us at the end of the month, Bandai UK has been teasing everyone with Power Rangers images, and this set here is the first “first-look” we’ve been given.

For those out of the loop – the Dragon Dagger was the weapon of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, who used it to summon the mighty Dragonzord! This is the year of the Green Ranger, as the Legacy Morpher Green & White Ranger Edition exclusive has just been released, with the Dragon Dagger and Dragonzord following in the next couple of months.

Did you pre-order the Legacy Dragon Dagger? The item is schedule to release in February 2014 at Toys’R’Us. There was a pre-order for it at the Toys’R’Us website, but a matter of days after the pre-orders went up they were taken offline and have yet to return. Discuss the packaging with us and if you’re excited for this awesome toy!

The continuation of the Thundercats line continues! Just kidding (well, kind of, it’s the same body mold from the Thundercats line from 2011). Our own photo contributor conundrum got his Armored Might Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and has taken a number of images for your eyes’ viewing pleasure.

This beefy, muscular figure comes with his armor, his Dragon Dagger, and two interchangeable hands. It’s a great continuation of an already successful and popular line of Armored Might figures. Check out a ton of images by clicking here or clicking on the ”Discuss on the TokuNation forums” link. Don’t forget to use our social media buttons in this news post to share this gallery with your friends!

Are you collecting the Armored Might line of Power Rangers figures? If so, who do you hope to see released next? How about some Gold Zeo Power?! Voice it up, discuss it, and enjoy these awesome images!

Thanks to TokuNation.com member BigRich71, we can confirm that the Toys’R’Us Exclusive Power Rangers Legacy Gold Morpher has begun to hit the sales floors at some Toys’R’Us stores! The image attached to this story was (presumably) taken at a Massachusetts Toys’R’Us store. As soon as we get a better description of where the item was found, we’ll update this news post! Until then, begin calling and HAPPY HUNTING!

And don’t forget – if you do manage to find the Gold Legacy Morpher, be sure to share your findings in our TOY SIGHTINGS forum! It’s broken down by state so you and your fellow collectors can help each other find these products in a timely fashion! If you manage to find one, send us a tweet @TokuNation on Twitter and we’ll re-tweet it to the world!

Thanks to our good friend raz and his Tumblr blog, we were pointed in the direction of an interesting eBay auction where the upcoming Green & White Ranger Legacy Morpher item, exclusive to Toys’R’Us, are in hand and ready to ship.

According to this auction, an accidental shipping error landed the seller with a case of 4 of the highly sought after Legacy Morphers. If you remember, a 24K Gold Plated version was available at the previous San Diego Comic Con as an exclusive, and after-market prices soared in to the range of a thousand dollars or more for the item. The item is still available for pre-order on ToysRUs.com for $59.99. There is now an estimated ship date of January 28th, 2014. The difference between the SDCC exclusive and this Toys’R’Us exclusive is the lack of the 24K plated gold, as well as the finish on the coins (no longer gold, but a ‘worn’ look similar to the other Legacy Morpher). raz promises updates on the different store’s stock/expected stock tomorrow.

Are you excited to get your hands on this item? Did you pre-order from Toys’R’Us, or were you planning to find one in stores? Let us know! And stay tuned for an upcoming gallery of the SDCC and Toys’R’Us items compared to each other!
