Did you forget something that happened this week? We may have as well, but Photo & Content contributor conundrum did not. This past Wednesday 05/07/14 marked the 15th anniversary of the final episode of Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog!

For a little history lesson, Mystic Knights was an American/Irish co-production created by Saban Entertainment based loosely on Irish myths and aimed at the same audience that watched such shows as Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and Masked Rider. The show itself only lasted a single 50 episode season as it’s second season, to be titled “Battle Thunder”, had it’s budget allocated to Power Rangers Lost Galaxy. The show however is still special for many fans because of it’s unique take on the genre and the toyline itself is really pretty great and still affordable to collect even today.

If you need to take a trip down memory lane and relive this excellent series then by all means check out conundrum’s latest gallery by clickking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums”. And be sure to check out his previous entries from this series as well:

Who knows, maybe one day this series could be released on DVD by Shout Factory the same way other classic Saban franchises have been? Time will tell.

To all our friends up north – head to Toys’R’Us! The Legacy Dragonzord was spotted and purchased at Toys’R’Us store in Vancouver by ayane from the RangerBoard forums.

ayane also managed to take a ton of pictures of the Legacy Dragonzord. We’ve mirrored all 20 images here for your viewing pleasure. The original images were shared on RangerBoard. NOTE! The head-fin on the Legacy Dragonzord appears bent. This is apparently due to packaging – the plastic wrapped around the fin is too tight. There are many fixes for this and if it turns out to be a mass issue, we’ll share some tips and tricks on how to get it fixed.

Happy hunting!

It’s Morphin Time!

When Bandai of America first announced the 20th Anniversary Legacy Morpher, the first thing most fans and collectors asked was if and when we would ever get a Green & White Ranger version. As we know by now, we would have a Toys’R’Us release of the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and White Ranger hit shelves early in 2014. But before we had that, the only option was the elusive and very pricey San Diego Comic Con 2013 Exclusive Gold-Plated Legacy Morpher.

Limited to 1000 pieces and available only at San Diego Comic Con 2013, this version of the morpher was, for a small time, the most sought over Power Rangers merchandise quite possibly in the history of the franchise. I remember when I purchased mine I had offers for double or triple what I paid for as I walked past a line of hopeful attendees.

TokuNation.com is proud to be present to you a high resolution gallery of over 50 images of this exclusive piece of merchandise, with comparison shots to the mass retail version. If you have any additional picture requests, please post them in the discussion thread. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy this (in my opinion) beautiful exclusive!

You can’t keep a good man down – and that’s why raz keeps bringing the news! Being the toy sleuth that he is, he’s managed to find two images of upcoming 5 Inch Legacy Power Rangers figures – the Mighty Morphin White Ranger and the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger. These toys are billed as being part of the Legacy collection, which means these are Toys’R’Us exclusive figures. The images are a little grainy as they were taken with a smart phone through glass, but you still get a great idea of what the toys look like. Check them out!
