This one’s a little bit late but we’ve finally got a gallery and review ready to share of the NYCC 2015 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie Dino Charger Power Pack! And we’ve also included the concurrently released Toys ‘R’ Us exclusive Ninja Mega Falconzord Charger in this gallery!
The Movie Dino Charger pack is one supremely nice con exclusive as you’ll see in the photos attached to this article and in the full gallery. The packaging for this set is identical to the SDCC MMPR Charger Pack, all 6 Ranger Chargers are included and a spot is reserved on the end for the Ninja Mega Falconzord Charger. The 6 Movie Ranger Chargers feature the helmets, personal weapons, & Ninja Zords for each ranger as well as the Original Movie Logo within the rotating prism. While the Ninja Mega Falconzord Charger features a group shot of the team, the White Ranger Morpher & a full image of the Ninja Mega Falconzord itself!
We’ve assembled 80 images of this magnificent set after the jump as well as an in depth review. But first why not check out this brief video below showcasing the sound effects that these chargers make when interacting with the Dino Charge Morpher!

Quick as lightning, strong as steel, watch out danger he’s for real, you know when lightning strikes it’s Gold Ranger!
I decided to finally crack open my personal collection of Gold Ranger figures to do a gallery and review for the 5″ Zeo Gold Ranger figure from the end of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ figure series. Short-packed (one per case) and part of the final wave, this figure wasn’t necessarily found by many people in many of the big stores (I personally found my figure in a Walgreens).
The figure is an excellent addition to any fan’s collection and especially for fans of the original Gold Ranger. The articulation is on par with Ranger figures from the 5″ line from Bandai America and probably due to my personal love for the character cause it to be even more so amazing to photograph. Check out 46 high definition images of the Power Rangers Zeo Gold Ranger 5″ figure by clicking here or by clicking the ”Discuss on TokuNation Forums” link at the end of the story.
Do you have this figure – if so, what do you think? Any other Gold Ranger fans out there? Give some love to this awesome Ranger in the gallery discussion!
Thanks to generous designer Tsuyoshi Nonaka we have an in-hand look at the upcoming Power Rangers Legacy Thunder Megazord!
The combined modes aren’t shown here but these images give us a good look at the Red Dragon Thunderzord in both Dragon & Warrior modes. The 3rd image is the most telling however as it gives us our first look yet at the sled used for the Thunderzord Assault Team! You’ll recall that Bandai America representatives confirmed this mode to us in our NYCC 2015 interview, but it’s nice to finally see proof of it!
So what do you think of these new images? Does this inclusion of the mode help offset the price for you? Sound off in the comments and let us know! All we know is we need Thunderzord Power, NOW!
The evil henchmen of the bounty hunter Sledge continue to be released throughout the United States – and while everyone is searching for the second wave of villains in the Power Rangers Dino Charge 5″ figure line, we’re here to show off one of our favorite figures from the first wave – the evil villain Wrench! This robotic henchman may look to have more brain than brawn but don’t let his whiny attitude fool you – Wrench packs quite a punch with his hand-ax weapon!
Check out 20 images of what we believe to be one of the best figures in the entire villain assortment from Bandai America! Post your own thoughts in our gallery, which is linked to the story, or simply click here to see all the pictures! So – what are your thoughts? Is this figure the winner of the assortment? Sound off!
In what seems to be a continuing trend, an upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge item unseen till now has been found! With special thanks to tavionjackson from our friends over at Rangerboard.com, this special pack looks to be exclusive to Toys’R’Us and will feature 27 of the current Dino Chargers but in their metallic foil inserts as opposed to the non-foil that have been out and circulating for nearly a year.
Be sure to check out the original auction by clicking here! What do you think? Is this something you’ll buy? Or do you prefer two Chargers at a time with a dino buddy to display? Sound off in discussion!

It’s time for another week of Megazord Madness! Round 2 is now open allowing the next round of votes to occur as well as offering you up more coupons for your Power Rangers Dino Charge purchasing needs! Click here or visit www.MegazordMadness.com to vote! It should be important to note – there was a voting discrepancy on some of the match-ups in the first round. As we enter the second round, nearly all the questionable match-ups (we’re talking votes of 12,000 to 1,200) were apparently wiped or reversed, and the apparent loser became the winner. To sum it up – nearly all the Tommy Oliver zords (Dragonzord, White Tigerzord, Falconzord, White Shogun Zord, Brachio Zord) that were losing by astronomical numbers ended up as winners and are in the second round.
We reported this via our @TokuNation Twitter account yesterday, but we are also making a front page post at the behest of our friends at Bandai America who want to make sure that this information gets out to everyone as there was a lot of concern over the original details.
Regarding the Legacy Thunder Megazord: The individual zords that make up the Thunder Megazord will indeed combine with each other to form the classic attack sled just like the original release 20 years ago. The information before was uncertain but Bandai America is now confirming that the attack sled can indeed be formed by the individual zords.
Regarding the Legacy Falconzord: The original price listed in Toys’R’Us computers showed a suggested retail of $79.99. Many fans were upset as the Legacy Falconzord by itself does very little – it’s a bird that doesn’t turn in to anything and only acts as an attachment for the Ninja Megazord and the Shogun Megazord, which currently have not been announced as upcoming Legacy items but teased as such by Bandai America at NYCC 2015. Towards the end of the show, Bandai America reached out to us to confirm that the price of the Legacy Falconzord will be $59.99. This is great news for a lot of us as we believed the original price of $80 was too high.
A very special thanks to Greg Mitchell from Bandai America for the follow up on these questions. Please stay tuned as there’s a lot of great things coming from Bandai America for fans of both the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as well as fans of Power Rangers Dino Charge!
Our very own Sentai Tamashii is attending New York Comic Con 2015 and had some time to sit down with Greg Mitchell from Bandai America. We had asked on our @TokuNation Twitter account for some of the questions you guys had for Bandai America, as well as some of our own.
We asked around 12 questions and got answers for pretty much all of them! More Ranger Keys … we remind them which ones not to forget (and it looks like they almost did!). A 5″ Talon Ranger figure? Why does the Legacy line continue to rise in price – especially that $80 Falonzord? And does the Legacy Thunder Megazord have that attack sled formation? We got the answers!
