The face of the Power Rangers franchise – Jason David Frank – has died.  He was 49 years old.

For thirty years, Jason David Frank has celebrated Power Rangers with fans all over the world.  First appearing in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as the evil Green Ranger in 1993, his character “Tommy” would leave and return as the White Ranger, become the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, and star in two feature films (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie).  Eleven years after his first appearance, Jason David Frank would return as the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, giving the Power Rangers television franchise a much-needed boost during it’s second season under Disney Entertainment.

Jason David Frank would return twice more – once in the “Legendary Battle” episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, and again for the 25th anniversary episode “Dimensions in Danger” during Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel.  He also brought the evil comic book character Lord Drakkon to light in a short trailer for the BOOM! Studios Power Rangers Shattered Grid comic book event during the 25th anniversary.

At every single convention that Jason David Frank attended there would be massive lines to get pictures and autographs with, arguably, the most famous and popular Power Ranger.  Jason David Frank would make it a point to stay until the last fan in line got what they got in line for – whether it was an autograph, a picture, or just to say hello.

Jason David Frank had been working on and promoting the upcoming release of his creator-owned character via movie, Legend of the White Dragon, created with popular independent film maker Bat in the Sun (famous for “Super Hero Beat Down” YouTube shorts).  The film was set to release online in 2023.

He wasn’t perfect – nobody is – but for an entire generation of kids he was their hero. Our thoughts are with his family & friends in this difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Jason David Frank.  1973-2022

In a shocking twist that no one saw coming, an unannounced Power Rangers Lightning Collection figure has been discovered.  Malaysian retailer MyToy shared on their Facebook page their latest acquisition of brand new Power Rangers Lightning Collection Metallic Mighty Morphin White Ranger, the final addition to the Metallic collection.

This Tommy comes with a brand new head sculpt and the fully formed Zeo Crystal.  Unlike the other Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures to receive the Metallic treatment, there does NOT appear to be a new helmet sculpt.

When will this figure be released?  When will this figure be announced?  Roll the dice because no one truly knows.

“Now then… about that new power…”

In the world we know, when Rita Repula’s evil spell was broken, the Green Ranger joined the side of good. The prophecy fulfilled, the earth was defended by all 6 Power Rangers! But in another time, Tommy Oliver sought to control his Earth. Conquering it right alongside Rita, the two and their armies destroyed all remaining good in the world. Stopping Jason just short of becoming the White Ranger, Tommy killed his one time fried and took the power for his own. Forcing the White & Green Ranger’s power coins together, Tommy created an unstoppable power. Taking on as his own the name of Rita’s former protege, Tommy was reborn as Lord Drakkon!

The smash hit character of Boom! Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics finally arrives in the Lightning Collection line! Lord Drakkon has been a figure many hoped would find it’s way to this line quickly. So it’s crazy to think that it was only revealed least month and now it’s already hitting store shelves. Another excellent addition to the line, Lord Drakkon is primarily built off of the MMPR White Ranger mold, though it’s armed with Drakkon’s own ornate armor. Complimented by his own Dragon Dagger, Lord Drakkon is ready to conquer your Lightning Collection.

Check out over 90 images of Lightning Collection Lord Drakkon after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery and review thread. Next time we return to the world of Kamen Rider with another new gallery from Kamen Rider Zi-O!
