Jason David Frank revealed on his Facebook fan pages that he is “Working on the green ranger movie trailer with Bat in The Sun!! Wait till you see it!!
JDF”
Is this the reason why Jason has refused to be a part of the MMPR Fan film? What sort of deals did he reach with Saban? Stay tuned for more news as it develops.
Internet personality Vangelus interviewed Bluefin Tamashii Nations regarding their business and how exactly SH Figuarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers happened. He asked if we could ever see an armored Black Ranger, based on the Season 1 episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers where the Black Ranger took the Dragon Armor from the Green Ranger to battle the Oysterizer.
At around the 4:34 mark, Adam Newman and Xaiver Lim from Bluefin have what is can only be described as a scripted banter back and forth about “Hey, we should do that as a SDCC exclusive and package it with this!”.
Check out the interview below.
What do you think? Do you want an SH Figuarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Armored Black Ranger?
**It should be noted that the Armored Black Ranger and Shieldless Green Ranger these particular figures would be based on only appear in the Zyu2 footage created by Toei, for Saban, to increase the episode count of MMPR. Though Dragon/Green Ranger has appeared at other times without the shield he still included his arm bands. Technically speaking this would make these the first ever US exclusive rangers or variations on a standard costume to be made into SH Figuarts! A small step in the direction of Battlizers, Spirit Rangers, Titanium, and more!
Easily the biggest surprise of the convention this year at NYCC 2013 is the reveal of the actual toys of the Legacy Dragonzord and the Legacy Dragon Dagger.
So here’s a ton of images of both (30 to be exact), in high-resolution and zoomed in up close and personal.
Please enjoy. Thanks to our crew at NYCC 2013 for all the amazing work they do.
Have you wondered what the recently announced MMPR Legacy Dragonzord & Legacy Dragon Dagger would look like? Well speculate no longer! Thanks to our other man on the inside of NYCC 2013, Sentai Tamashii, we have our very first look at both of these highly anticipated releases!!
Stay tuned for more and better pics of all the new reveals at NYCC 2013 from the Tokunation.com news team!
Jason David Frank, better known as Tommy Oliver in the Power Rangers Universe, has updated via YouTube a preview of his upcoming documentary entitled “My Morphin Life”. Not only is his documentary going to showcase the life of the Green Ranger, it’s also giving us our first look at some stuff from the final episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce titled “Legendary Battle”.
Check it below!
What do you think? Are you excited? You planning to watch it? Discuss away!!
We teased it for weeks and it’s finally time to reveal it!
Our goal at San Diego Comic Con was to get as many awesome things as possible to give away to our fans, users, and social media followers! And while some of our contest item attempts were thwarted due to insane lines, policy changes from Bandai, and overall work versus play-time, we did snag a few things and have bundled them together for some fun prizes!
Without further wait, here are the prizes! Click the title of the story to check out pictures of each individual prize.
The Grand Green Prize[/u]
The Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is an icon of the brand, and the actor who brought the character to life, Jason David Frank, went on to be the most popular Power Ranger of all time. The Grand Green Prize celebrates the character of Tommy Oliver, and is yours to win!
The Red Prize[/u]
If the Green Ranger is the most popular, the first Red Ranger is right behind him as one of the most iconic Power Rangers ever. Our Red Prize celebrates that character and is yours to win!
The Gosei Prize[/u]
The 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers is upon us, and the current iteration of the brand, Power Rangers Megaforce, heavily plays on the original series featuring five teenagers with attitude who spend their off-time at Ernie’s – just like the original five! They power up using cards to morph and call upon their weapons and Mechazords. There were seven cards exclusive to San Diego Comic Con 2013, and all seven of them are yours to win in one shot!
So how do you go about winning these great prizes?
Between now and the end of the month of August, we will post three items on our frontpage – they could be news stories, a toy gallery, a site update, etc. – and if you see the following catch phrase in the news story:
“Post in this discussion thread, retweet this news post on Twitter, and “Like” this story on our Facebook for your chance to win the ______ Prize!”…just follow the instructions and you’re entered! It’s important to note that we will NOT announce the contest entry in the news story title, it’s up to you and your peers to check out our updates to see if it’s a contest story! We may or may not hint at when a contest story is coming.
There’s three ways to enter for each prize!
1 – Post in the discussion thread of that news story (you must be a member of TokuNation.com to do so, so hurry up and register today!)
2 – When the news story hits Twitter, retweet it! (so make sure you’re following us @TokuNation on Twitter!)
3 – “Like” the story on our Facebook (so be sure to ”Like” us on Facebook!)
Entries from all three places will be pooled together and one winner will be randomly selected for each prize. You have a way to enter three times (through the site, Twitter, and Facebook) so be sure to increase your chances at winning by doing all three!
NOTE: Due to our RSS feed, we realize that our Twitter feed will post the news story from the frontpage, as well as a second time when it hits Facebook. We will only honor one retweet of the contest entry story as a contest entry. You are more than welcome to retweet both of the tweets just to make sure you’ve entered, but you will NOT be entered for both.
