As reported by Henshin Justice, an updated version of the Legacy Morpher was spotted at retail by Jan Hernandez of Youtube.

Owners of the Legacy Morpher will know that the Morpher will play the original Mighty Morphin theme song if an activation button is pressed and held but only if the button is held.

The SDCC version fixed this by making it so that the theme song plays just by pushing the button and now it looks like the Morphers you’ll be able to purchase at retail will have this retool! 

You can watch Jan Hernandez’s video in the link below:

Tokunation is at San Diego Comic-Con 2013! And when we said we’d be on the show floor before anyone else we meant it! Our show team is already at the convention center and news has just started coming in.

Straight from Kickback himself we have confirmation that a set of the core 5 Kyoryu Sentai Zyurangers / Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers S.H.Figuarts are on display!! Bandai Tamashii and Bluefin have both begun releasing these figure in Japan and the US respectively. Dragon/Green Ranger & Tyranno/Red Ranger are only just seeing release with Pterra/Pink Ranger confirmed as a web exclusive in Japan this fall and a US retail release as well.

This is the first time the core 5 Zyurangers/Power Rangers have been shown on display together and confirms their future releases! Each of course includes their signature weapons. It’s currently unconfirmed however, due to a no photo policy for the night, whether or not the US release of Tiger/Yellow Ranger will include an alternate skirt accessory for MMPR fans. And for any users in attendance a friendly heads up that the US release for S.H. Figuarts Red & Green Rangers are being sold at the Bluefin booth, #3545!

Bandai is also on the show floor showcasing not only the plethora of upcoming Power Rangers products they offer but also Godzilla! A massive pallet of SDCC Green/White Legacy Morphers is also making the rounds before they go on sale tomorrow!

Hold on to your hats because this is going to bring some interesting discussion!

As you may recall, Karan Ashley (Aisha, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) rejected the offer to return for a cameo in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. Fans have been polarized on their opinions – some think she, along with others that rejected the offer to return, should have done it for the fans. Others have expressed sympathy knowing that Haim Saban is relatively cheap and that he, and the production company, should have done more to bring back original cast members for the reunion.

After these polarized opinions have each been expressed on her Facebook page, Karan Ashley felt it was time to address the whole situation on our Uncensored Radio Show with her co-host Jeffrey.

The clip, courtesy of nightmere10 on Twitter, can be found below.

WARNING. CLIP CONTAINS USE OF PROFANITY.

There you have it, straight from the mouth of Karan Ashley. I’m sure all of you have some thoughts, comments, and concerns of things brought up in the clip – I know I did as a fan. Go ahead and post your thoughts and comments in this thread.

With production seemingly only wanting 10 previous cast members to return and now others such as Blake Foster getting the axe on reappearing we assume that the Super Megaforce casting news should be dwindling down to a minimum. Thank you all for sticking through as we hashed out who was returning and who wasn’t.

Share your thoughts in discussion!

This video from Karen Ashley, better known to fans as “Aisha,” the second Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger, confirms that she will not be participating in Super Megaforce filming due to insufficient actor pay & the inordinate travel expense related to New Zealand filming.

In addition, Matt Austin (Bridge from SPD) has commented on the same video with the unfortunate suggestion that NONE of the Disney-era cast has received invitations from Saban, meaning he & many others will also not be back.

Thanks to Starscream Gaga for the news!

Hey Power Rangers fans! We have a couple of updates for those of you looking for the Toys’R’Us exclusive Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Power Morpher toy.

Thanks to TokuNation.com member raz we have some solid information on just exactly how many Legacy Power Morphers are out there right now and what areas can expect to see them next.

raz took the time to call a number of Toys’R’Us stores across the country and got some pretty solid details on exactly what distribution centers have stock and an estimate of exactly what amounts. They are as follows:

All distribution centers on the east coast (Philadelphia, North Carolina, New York, Maryland, Chicago, etc.) are showing ZERO Legacy Power Morphers on hand, meaning their shipments have yet to arrive. That area is probably still a week out from getting anything in stores, as the item has to arrive at the distribution center first.

The distribution center in Dallas has 292 Legacy Power Morphers in the warehouse. The Colorado distribution center has over 200 Legacy Power Morphers ready to go. The distrubtion center in California, which services all 12 Toys’R’Us stores, has 256 Legacy Power Morphers to split between those stores, though history has shown us Transformers collectors that they are never distributed equally. So basically, if you’re in the Missouri area to the west coast, you should find Legacy Power Morphers in your Toys’R’Us stores THIS WEEK – truck days usually fall on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Here’s also a review from YouTube user BNGamesReviews for those of you still on the fence.

If you manage to find the elusive and exclusive Toys’R’Us Legacy Power Morpher, don’t forget to post where you found it in our Tokusatsu Toy Sightings forum! Your fellow tokusatsu fans will appreciate it.

The Legacy Power Morpher runs at $49.99. Good hunting!!
