“It’s Morphin’ Time!”
It’s been a while since we’ve tackled a Legacy release from Bandai, and with their time with the Power Rangers license coming to end, we thought it appropriate to take a look at one of their last high end releases. Making it’s way out to retail currently at Toys R Us (as they go our of business themselves) is the Legacy Zeonizer!
It’s unfortunate that this collector’s piece is heralding the end of the line, and a retailer, but we wanted to take a look at it while we could. The Legacy Zeonizer is the latest in Bandai’s line of high end prop replicas, and frankly it may be their best effort. A wonderful recreation of the morpher used in Power Rangers Zeo, this collector’s piece features a number of built in light & sound gimmicks including unique Morphin’ call outs and specific colors for each ranger. Of course the icing on the cake is it’s best feature, the ability to play the entire Power Rangers Zeo Opening Theme!
You can check out our full 40 image gallery of the Legacy Zeonizer as well as a full review and breakdown of it’s features by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with a gallery from Kamen Rider Kabuto!
Those of you who have followed TokuNation.com over the years are aware of our love not only for toys and collectibles but the desire to get to know more about what goes in to making them happen. That love allowed us the opportunity to get to know, on personal levels, some of the individuals at Bandai America who were working on the Power Rangers brand. One such individual was Gregory Mitchell, who first joined the Power Rangers team in 2013 and started making his mark on the property with Power Rangers Super Megaforce. He would finish his tenure with Bandai America as the Senior Director of Marketing for Power Rangers and oversee Power Rangers Dino Charge, Power Rangers Dino Supercharge, the Power Rangers Movie, and Power Rangers Ninja Steel.
Gregory Mitchell left Bandai America and Power Rangers in October of 2016 to join Alpha Group, a Chinese based company that was in the infant stages of growing their presence in the US markets and territories. Since joining the team, he has played a pivotal part in the acquisition of master toy licenses for various properties, including the multi-billion dollar global property that is Spongebob Squarepants. Fans of tokusatsu will recognize the name Alpha Group as the same company in China that produced the Armor Hero tokusatsu series.
He was kind enough to sit down with us for two hours and discuss a number of topics relating to the Power Rangers brand, both from his time there and from his position now looking at things as an outsider. In our exclusive interview, Gregory discusses how the process of a Super Sentai season becoming a Power Rangers season happens; the inside scoop on Legacy toys quality control issues; Legacy Shogun Megazord; an abandoned Super Sentai series that was planned before Lupinranger vs Patranger; and a handful of stories and favorite memories that you may have missed over the years.
The full interview is available in podcast form from Talkin Toku. You can listen to it in the player below or download it by clicking here.
The entire interview is also uploaded in to 9 total videos on our YouTube Channel. The first piece, a preview we released a couple of weeks ago, is shown here on the front page. All 8 follow up segments are included with this story and can be found by clicking “Read More”.

This year’s Power Morphicon exclusive, a Legacy Lord Drakkon figure, has had its first images shown to the public. This figure is produced by Bandai America exclusively for the Power Rangers fan convention Power Morphicon, and is available for purchase by attendees.
Featuring an all new mold, Legacy Lord Drakkon comes with both the Dragon Dagger and Saba Sword. Lord Drakkon is the alternate reality version of Tommy Oliver, who instead of joining the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as the Green Ranger and 6th member of their team, voluntarily chose to remain with Rita Repulsa and conquered the Earth instead. Lord Drakkon is featured prominently this year in the BOOM! Studios comics Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers during the Shattered Grid event.

Awhile back some fans discovered that GameStop will be the future home for the upcoming Power Rangers Legacy Zeo Pink and Yellow female figures. Fans has been speculating for months the future of these female figures with the lack of information regarding their release and the subsequent removal from their respective series of figures.
Up until today fans were able to pre-order these figures from GameStop with an early March 2018 release. Unfortunately the date has been changed as of today to August 20th 2018. We reached out to Bandai America but have not received a response. We’re also awaiting details on when and where the Power Rangers Legacy Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger will release.
Stay tuned for more news as it breaks. Thanks to Joshua Kelley, posting on the Facebook group The Ranger Store, for the initial heads up on the change of release dates.
Some more press photos have emerged for the upcoming Legacy Power Rangers figures. The Psycho Red, Psycho Blue, and Dino Thunder White Ranger are all shown with official press photos. These are expected to be the second-to-last series released by Bandai America before the end of their licensing agreement with Saban Brands. These figures are considered part of Saban Brands‘ 25 for 25th celebration, indicating that they are part of the 25th Anniversary of Power Rangers Celebration.
It should be important to note that these are press photos done off painted figures and do not necessarily reflect the actual look of the figure that will be released.
