Previously reported by our good friends on Rangerboard, the new wave of Dino Charge Villain Figures have been found! Consisting of Sting Rage, Slammer, Spellbinder, the Vivizord and the leader of the villains, Sledge, this new wave of figures adds more monsters for your rangers to fight!

Found by Instagram user mikey_the_husky in Dinuba, CA, the wave has also been found by Tokunation user and Super Moderator KamenRiderOOO in Long Beach, CA. Like the rest of the figures, these are at standard retail price. As it seems that the West Coast has gotten these in now, it’s only a matter of time that they’re released elsewhere. Happy hunting!

Originally discovered within Toys R Us computer systems way back in February, we finally have a real look at the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge Legendary Zord Set! Thanks to a seller on Taobao we’ve got out first official packaged images of this set.

As speculated and now confirmed the Legendary Zord Set indeed consists of reissues of the Zord Vehicle Rangers from the Mighty Morphin 2010 relaunch toy line! Originally these items were thought to be Legacy items but it looks rather like they’re going to be Toys R Us exclusives instead in Dino Charge packaging. As is this 4-pack consists of the Mighty Morphin Red, Blue, Black, & Green rangers with their respective vehicles (T-Rex, Triceratops, Mammoth, & Sabretooth Tiger).

According to the original information circulated in February this set should retail for $79.99. With packaged samples turning up on Taobao that means we should be seeing a release of this set in stores by years end at the latest. Keep an eye out and when or if you see it stores, sound off in our toys sightings forum!

under Conventions, Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

Rounding out our coverage of San Diego Comic Con 2015 we have a couple gems to share with you. Our own Kickback just sat down with Bandai of America for an interview on current & upcoming products and a few other goodies fans have been clamoring for with Power Rangers Legacy & Dino Charge.

Starting things off we discussed Power Rangers Legacy items. These releases were apparently never meant to be chronological like collectors had assumed, it happened to just turn out that way. Bandai knows that the Ninja & Shogun Megazords as well as the Falconzord are all very obvious choices for the future. Power Rangers Zeo is also internally very popular. They also think a Legacy Gold Zeo Ranger Staff is a interesting idea ;) Legacy Tor was mentioned as well but as a whole they don’t want to destroy collectors’ wallets.

The Thunder Megazord shown at SDCC should be able to assumed the Assault Team sled mode, but they’ll get with their designers and give us an answer post-con. The Legacy Blade Blaster displayed was entirely a mock-up as the retail version wasn’t ready yet. They would like to do a role play item and a mech/figure item together if possible kinda like Saba and Tigerzord. Again they don’t want to break the bank. Fans have also asked recently about a Black & Gold Dragonzord, so we posed that question to Bandai. There response is “would fans buy it?”

For Dino Charge Bandai still asserts that if a Ranger appears in show, of which there’s likely to be 11 between DC & Supercharge, then there’s a very good chance to see it in toy form.  When asked about any possible gender swaps or sash swaps in the show, they referred back to the first answer. Bandai is also taking this position with Megazords, if it appears in the show footage it’s very likely to receive a toy. Villain figures are a key point of interest to Bandai as well since this is the first time since MMPR that waves are predominantly villains. Poisandra however is still cloudy. While Bandai is looking into it, it depends entirely on the characters trajectory in the show. They simply don’t know currently. The same can be said for why no Supercharge items were displayed – if it hasn’t been revealed in the show then they can’t necessarily show it in toy form without approval from Saban Brands.

Fans of Ranger Keys from Super Megaforce will also be sobered a bit.  Currently no plans for more Ranger Keys as the play pattern is no longer current.  Speaking of exclusives Bandai confirmed that they are upping their game for New York Comic Con to match the cons size. They will have an exclusive of some kind for this years show.

Bandai of America takes the fan opinion very seriously. They also want to cater to collectors and use the Legacy line as well as conventions to try and do that. They encourage fans to let them know what they think at conventions and such.

We’d like to thank Bandai of America for their time over the weekend for answering our questions and being awesome in general. The team is super excited for the future and can’t wait to show you what’s in store next. They hope you’ll come see them at this year’s NYCC.

under Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

You may recall last year that Bandai of America had QUITE the display of Super Megazforce Ranger Keys. Well this year at their booth we’ve been treated to a huge display of current and fall releasing Dino Chargers from Power Rangers Dino Charge!

This very unique display not only includes some basic Chargers we’ve seen before but also a wide variety of brand new versions of previous chargers! New translucent plastics and metallic paint apps will be setting the fall assortments apart from earlier this year. In very much the same way Kyoryuger gave us multiple special releases of Zyudenchi. And not to be forgotten the SDCC exclusive Mighty Morphin Dino Charger set is also on display in all it’s glory!

Get ready to Charge It Up this fall with Bandai of America’s Power Rangers Dino Charge & Dino Super Charge toys!
