Thanks to Fury Diamond of Rangercrew once again for digging around the bowels of the internet to find new press photos of Power Rangers Legacy Titanus! This upcoming figure is expected to be released in Fall 2014 as a Toys ‘R’ Us Exclusive with a suggested retail price upwards of $200. No official order pages have gone up yet but for now enjoy these nice new images of this upcoming behemoth.

As we draw closer and closer to it’s eventual release fans keep wondering when pre-orders actually will go up for Legacy Titanus. We’re still not sure of that, but chances are more information will be available for the figure at San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Remember that TokuNation will be on the show floor reporting back everything we see and hear for Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, Godzilla and more! So be on the lookout for Legacy Titanus updates as well!

After the recent string of sightings for the Q-Rex Megazord it seems the last Megazord from the Power Rangers Super Megaforce line is starting to hit store shelves! Spotted & purchase by AbareMax of Rangerboard at Target in South Gate, California, is the Turbo Falcon Megazord!

This last Megazord in the Super Megaforce line is based on the Gokaiger figure Machalcon. The BOA version of the toy seems to opt out of some features from the original in favor of it’s own unique Megazord mode!  When used with the Legendary Megazord you can create the Legendary RPM Megazord! Combine it with the Legendary AND Q-Rex Megazords to form the Ultimate Legendary Megazord!

With this sightings it’s officially time to be on the hunt Ranger Nation, be sure to check your local retailers now!

The long wait is over! After tons of anticipation and fan demand the mighty Legacy Dragonzord has finally been released! Though it’s been out for a little while now, this sought after piece tends to be hard to come by through regular retail. But TokuNation was lucky enough to get it’s hands on one for a full review & gallery!

The Legacy Dragonzord is of course an update the classic DX Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar toy from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger  toylines! Released at physical retail exclusively through Toys ‘R’ Us this figure is already hard to find much like the Legacy Megazord. Which speaking of, this figure is compatible with the Megazord! The Dragonzord is a fierce machine on it’s own, but combining it with your MMPR 2010 or Legacy Megazords can create the Dragonzord Battle Mode and Mega Dragonzord, the second of which will prepare you for the upcoming Legacy Titanus!

This update to the 20+ year old Dragonzord toy has been long awaited by fans of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and of the original Green Ranger. So how exactly does this figure stack up to the classic? Read on to find out! And as a special mention for this gallery, TokuNation’s newest Photo & Content staff member ThatRangerGuy was kind enough to take a couple of comparison shots of the original DX Dragonzord & Legacy Dragonzord for us.

We’ve assembled a full review & gallery of this latest release in the Legacy toyline for you after the jump. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to over 60 images and a step by step breakdown of this awesome toy!

They teased. They toyed with our emotions. For a couple of years now, Bluefin Tamashii Nations have teased us that they could do a Lord Zedd figure, either as a S.H. Figuarts or a FiguartsZERO. After teasing us that they could, they teased that they had something they were working on. But then time passed by. Over a year after teasing that something was in the works, at Anime Expo this past weekend, they finally delivered on their tease. During a panel regarding current and upcoming projects, a blurry image of Lord Zedd with his iconic throne was shown with the tag FiguartsZERO.

It would appear that all that waiting has finally paid off. After showing the blurry image, they later announced on their Facebook page that everything shown at the panel would most likely be shown in person at this year’s upcoming San Diego Comic Con. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered there (our full coverage begins Tuesday, July 22nd … or basically just about 2 weeks away). Here’s a run down on the news from the panel that pertains to Power Rangers!

  • FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd – more details to come, could be shown at SDCC 2014
  • S.H. Figuarts of other Power Rangers teams – they stated that Bandai doesn’t think there’s currently a series that has an overwhelming demand.  They want to see an overwhelming demand for a series before they could begin working on it.  They’ve asked that we please spam their Facebook page with requests for one of three series – Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers In Space, or Power Rangers Time Force.  Doing so will show Bandai that there’s an overwhelming demand and they can move forward.

This is apparently the year of Lord Zedd!  First he gets a Legacy figure, and now he is apparently getting a FiguartsZERO as well. So let’s talk about it #RangerNation! Is a FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd a must-buy for you? Is it a wait and see? Join in the discussion!

Though we’re still several months away from the return of new Power Rangers Super Megaforce episodes on Nick, TokuNation has a little something to get you through this dry spell. Spotted recently at retail across the country and having finally been snagged by staff members we thought it was time to share with you the Q-Rex Megazord Gallery!

The Q-Rex is the personal Megazord of the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger! Sent from the future by the Time Force Rangers this machine can transform into it’s own Dinozord, Drill, & Megazord modes! A tribute to 3 past shows (Mighty Morphin Powers, Dino Thunder, & Time Force) this Megazord shares physical attributes with many of those Megazords that came before it. Like the Dragon Zord, Thundersaurus Megazord, or the original Q-Rex! Based on the DX Gozyujin toy from Bandai of Japan’s Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger line the Q-Rex puts it’s own spin on the design with the inclusion of Bandai of America’s Zord Builder system. With a plethora of these connectors & ports strategically placed through out, this toy will be a welcome addition to your collection.

After the jump we’ve assembled a lengthy review of this figure, exploring it’s many features and design elements. And we also have a 60+ image gallery for you to enjoy! If you’d like to take an up close look at the Q-Rex Megazord and see how it stacks up to it’s cousin, DX Gozyujin, then please click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottome of this post to be taken to our full gallery thread!

Well that certainly didn’t take long. Revealed just over a month ago, then announced for an early release at San Diego Comic Con this month, who would have thought we’d already see this figure at retail? But the hunt is on! @dimitridemel on Twitter just stumbled across the Power Rangers Legacy 5″ Lord Zedd figure! 

Found at the Brampton, Ontario Canada Toys ‘R’ Us this figure retails for for $16.99 CAD. And as we can see now, Lord Zedd also sports some very awesome vintage style Power Rangers packaging clearly modeled after the 8″ Mighty Morphin Power Ranger assortments of old.

UPDATED – A new back of box image confirms that the Power Weapons included with the 5″ Legacy Power Rangers will be able to combine to form the Powe Blaster!

A domestic US release should be happening any time now, but this is great news for Canadian collectors! For anyone unable to find it before SDCC, remember that Entertainment Earth will also have this shared exclusive for sale at their booth there later this month!

Thanks once again to the awesome @PockyBandit on Twitter, we have a link to an Amazon.com listing for the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ninja Zord!

The Ninja Zord is, of course, an adaptation of the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger mecha by the name of Karakuri Warrior Fūraimaru. The differences between the two toys are, well, they’re large. Very large. And when the first images were shown earlier this year (and late last year), TokuNation forum members were overly not pleased with the changes. However, with these new official images, maybe a few minds can be changed and the opinions can sway a bit.

Check out all the images by clicking the title of the story.

So share your thoughts. Have they changed on the Super Megaforce Ninja Zord? Or do you still think it’s a weak offering from Bandai of America? Or do you not even care? Join in the discussion and sound off!

The images from Amazon keep on rolling in! With special thanks to @PockyBandit on Twitter for sharing these finds, we have our first official images for the Turbo Cycle, Operation Overdrive Cycle, the Silver Spear roleplay item, and the Silver Ranger Hero Set. These items should come with Ranger Keys, though it is unclear which key comes with what (the same Wild Force Red Ranger key is shown on the Cycles, and Robo Knight Ranger Key with the Silver Spear).

We’ve attached the images on to this news story, so click the news story to check them all out!

Are you planning to pick up any of these items? Are any of them must-buys for you or maybe for your own young ones? Join in the discussion thread and share your thoughts!
