Following the early release of Legacy Lord Zedd at Canadian retail 2 weeks ago, another fellow collector across the boarder has spotted 3 of the Mighty Morphin Legacy Power Rangers!

Rangerboard user ayane was lucky enough to find the Legacy Red Ranger, Green Ranger, White Ranger & Lord Zedd all locally at  Toys ‘R’ Us in Burnaby, Canada! Quite the find indeed! So as more of these figures begin to turn up at Canadian retail you have to wonder when they’ll make their way a bit further south to TRU locations in the US. We’ll keep you informed of any further sightings as they occur!

Also of interest is that this Green Ranger figure is seemingly marketed as the version that appeared in the Power Rangers Dino Thunder episode “Fighting Spirit.”  This figure does in fact feature the controversial “silver stripe” on the helmet that was added for that episode. A blurb on the package goes so far as to say “as seen in Power Rangers Dino Thunder” as well.

Courtesy as always of @razzle1337 on twitter, we have some more new Power Rangers toy images!

On the Dino Charge side of things we have our very first look at the upcoming Dino Charge rangers 6-pack! But wait! That’s not a Gold Ranger in the 6th spot, but instead a villain. Astute fans of Kyoryuger will no doubt recognize this character as Dogold from the Deboss Army and understand why he’s been included in this set. His Power Rangers counterpart name has yet to be confirmed. Also included is the combined team weapon also yet to be named (Kentrospiker in Kyoryuger). And we also catch a glimpse of the Dino Charge Red Ranger mask from the Ranger Training set!

For Super Megaforce there’s actually quite a few new images to behold!

  • All of the Wave 4 Ranger Keys packs. Mighyt Morphin, Operation Overdrive, Alien Rangers, Jungle Fury, Dino Thunder, RPM!
  • 12″ figures of Megaforce Red & Super Megaforce Silver Rangers.
  • Ultimate Legendary Megazord 3-pack! This massive 3-pack will contain the Legendary Megazord, Q-Rex Megazord, & Turbo Falconzords all needed to create the final Ultimate combination!

These images are a bit grainy for the time being but you can bet that we’ll be seeing these upcoming items at San Diego Comic-Con. And of course remember that TokuNation will be there on the show floor covering all of your tokusatsu needs! Be sure to follow the whole TokuNation news team:

UPDATED: From Raz himself we now have images of the listed names for these items as well as prices from the TRU computer system!

A major reveal is on the horizon. Courtesy of @razzle1337 on twitter, we have our first news of new upcoming Power Rangers Legacy items! According to Raz:

  • Legacy Tigerzord – $79.99
  • Legacy Saba – $99.99
  • Legacy 5″ Movie Figures – $16.99 Each

As has become tradition these items likely come from the Toys ‘R’ Us computer system. Though for now we have no images of the figures themselves. If a Legacy Tigerzord is indeed happening then would a Legacy Thunder Megazord be far behind?

And as for Legacy 5″ Movie figures, a listing such as this is years too early to reference the upcoming joint film project between Saban Brands & Lion’s Gate. What these most likely are, are 5″ figures based on the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theatrical movie! For the first time in 20 years we’ll finally have new product based on the original film!

So will we see these next month at SDCC? Possibly. Or will we see them at later date in the TRU computer system? This is just as likely. Be sure to stay with us as we update you in this developing story!

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.

A lot of people may think this is a funny update, but for fans of Power Rangers this is kind of big! The actor known as Austin St. John who played Jason Lee Scott the original Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger as well as the fan-favorite Zeo Gold Ranger is making his first convention appearance in nearly 7 years this weekend at Comicpalooza, the Texas International Comic Con. This is the first public appearance by Austin St. John since 2007, as he has been overseas being busy as a real life hero working with emergency responders in the Middle East.

Below is a video posted today by Austin St. John as he left for the airport. Be sure to keep up to date with everything ASJ related by ”Liking” his official Facebook Page and following him on Twitter @ASJAustin.

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.

You can’t keep a good man down – and that’s why raz keeps bringing the news! Being the toy sleuth that he is, he’s managed to find two images of upcoming 5 Inch Legacy Power Rangers figures – the Mighty Morphin White Ranger and the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger. These toys are billed as being part of the Legacy collection, which means these are Toys’R’Us exclusive figures. The images are a little grainy as they were taken with a smart phone through glass, but you still get a great idea of what the toys look like. Check them out!

Don’t forget to follow raz on Twitter to stay up to date @razzle1337 as well as his blog, Razzle’s Dazzles. When it comes to digging up any and all toy information for Power Rangers, raz is the man with the know!

Austin St. John, better known as Jason Lee Scott the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger recently returned to the fandom after being gone for many years while serving as a medic in the middle east. Through his official Facebook page he has done another audio clip, this time answering some of the more burning questions that fans have been asking on his page.

Why did he decline the 20th Anniversary reunion episode in Power Rangers Super Megaforce? What conventions will he be attending, and are any overseas? Would he be open to returning to the Power Rangers franchise? These questions and more are answered in this audio clip below! And many fans can’t help but notice a slight “dig” at Jason David Frank, which would stem from a long feud between the two actors which stem mostly from comments made redundantly by Jason David Frank at nearly every convention appearance. Check out this excellent audio clip below. Back to Action with Austin St. John!
