“I am Sir Ivan, Knight of Zandar!”

The Red Ranger spent a decade searching for his father. Suspecting that Fury is the key to the disappearance of James Navarro, Tyler won’t give up until his father’s fate is known. Now, thanks to the Gold Energem the secret hidden deep within Fury, is out! Fury has held his host prisoner for hundreds of years, but now nothing can contain this 800 year old warrior! The truth of James Navarro is still a mystery, but a piece of history has been found. Ivan, the Knight of Zandar awakens from his ancient slumber as the Dino Charge Gold Ranger! And he owes Fury, about 8 centuries of payback.

The Dino Charge Gold Ranger is the third Gold Ranger that the Lightning Collection has given us so far, as well as the second Dino Charge ranger. Released in the recent Wave 3 alongside the likes of Lord Drakkon, Dino Charge Gold builds off the previous DC Red Ranger mold. While a few details are missing in the final figure, and the color will be hotly debated, this is another great addition to any Power Rangers collection. Armed with the Gold Ptera Morpher and Ptera Saber, the Gold Ranger even includes a civilian head featuring the like of Ivan’s actor, Davi Santos!

Hasbro is taking the next major step with the Power Rangers franchise- returning the Rangers to the big screen!

A new reboot of the Power Rangers film franchise has been announced as in the works at Hasbros’ AllSpark Pictures film division. Filmmaker Jonathan Entwistle– best known for the Netflix original series The End Of The F***ing World– is negotiating for the directors’ position on this new project. Relative newcomer Patrick Burleigh will be writing the script for the film.

A brief story outline has been released: The films’ plot will involve the Power Rangers traveling back in time to the 1990s to explore their roots.

There could be some VERY interesting times ahead for Power Rangers! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new project!

“Unleash the power!”

Arriving in Amber Beach to find his missing father, Tyler Navarro could never imagine what really lay ahead for him. By chance both he and soon to be allies make contact with the Energems! Ancient crystals that channel the Morphin Grid and the energy of the universe. Entrusted to the ancient dinosaurs by the mysterious Keeper, these Energems have chosen Tyler and the others to be the next generation of Power Rangers! To defend the Earth, to defeat the villainous Sledge and his crew, to unlock the ultimate power of the universe, in a world full of strife the Dino Charge Red Ranger fights to survive!

The Lightning Collection line has been going strong for the better part of a year now. Pumping out regular releases in the form of full waves, two-packs, and store exclusive single figures has made it hard to keep up on occasion. But finally we’ve made our way back around to finish off Wave 1 with the Dino Charge Red Ranger!  An overlooked gem of the first wave, DC Red is a solidly constructed figure with a lot more fine detail than you notice at first glance. Armed with the Dino Charge Morpher, the Dino Saber, an effect part, extra hands, and an unmasked head, this figure is the total package.

“Pterodactyl!

Like any teenager, Kimberly Hart used to be concerned with trivial things. But when an inter-dimensional being summoned her and her friends to defend the Earth from a recently freed ancient sorceress, that went out the window. Pterodactyl power coin in hand, Kimblery morphs into the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger! Kim fought the forces of evil for years until she found a worthy successor to her power. But her legacy still lives on in the generations of rangers who have come since. This morphinominal heroine at last joins (most of) her teammates in the Power Rangers Lightning Collection!

The Pink Ranger is the first new Mighty Morphin ranger mold we’ve gotten in the line so far. Previously we’ve seen 3 outings of the male MMPR body type with Dragon Shield parts and recently even the more basic Red Ranger release. So Pink Ranger really is refreshing to see for a change of pace. With some new design choices and articulation cuts, it’s a bit different affair to the boys, in a good way. Armed with the Blade Blaster, Power Bow, and two different arrows, the Pink Ranger is ready to take out the Putties in your collection!

We’ve got a full 60 image gallery after the jump, as well as our review of the Lightning Collection Pink Ranger.

Amazon Canada has put up several listings for the next wave of Power Rangers Beast Morphers action figures!

This wave will feature a new upgrade form for the Beast Morphers Rangers- a transformation known as Beast X Mode (which Super Sentai fans will recognize as Powered Custom forms).

The Beast X Mode is apparently linked to a new device called the Beast X King Morpher: a lion-based device that also brings new weapons for the Rangers.

Rounding out the lineup is an upgrade form for the Cybervillain Blaze now in a new golden body labeled Robo-Blaze by the packaging.

Definitely some exciting new things coming for Beast Morphers! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Rangers reveals.

“Now then… about that new power…”

In the world we know, when Rita Repula’s evil spell was broken, the Green Ranger joined the side of good. The prophecy fulfilled, the earth was defended by all 6 Power Rangers! But in another time, Tommy Oliver sought to control his Earth. Conquering it right alongside Rita, the two and their armies destroyed all remaining good in the world. Stopping Jason just short of becoming the White Ranger, Tommy killed his one time fried and took the power for his own. Forcing the White & Green Ranger’s power coins together, Tommy created an unstoppable power. Taking on as his own the name of Rita’s former protege, Tommy was reborn as Lord Drakkon!

The smash hit character of Boom! Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comics finally arrives in the Lightning Collection line! Lord Drakkon has been a figure many hoped would find it’s way to this line quickly. So it’s crazy to think that it was only revealed least month and now it’s already hitting store shelves. Another excellent addition to the line, Lord Drakkon is primarily built off of the MMPR White Ranger mold, though it’s armed with Drakkon’s own ornate armor. Complimented by his own Dragon Dagger, Lord Drakkon is ready to conquer your Lightning Collection.

Check out over 90 images of Lightning Collection Lord Drakkon after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery and review thread. Next time we return to the world of Kamen Rider with another new gallery from Kamen Rider Zi-O!

As revealed by @ForTheGridFans on twitter, the characters of the Street Fighter universe are making their return to Power Rangers Legacy Wars!

You my recall that in their last collaboration that the characters Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma made their way to the Power Rangers universe. And that Ryu in particular was gifted the abilities of a Power Ranger, suiting up as the Ryu Ranger! With the trio’s return to the popular Power Rangers fighting game, Ryu won’t be the only one with the power protecting him either. This go around Chun-Li will also don a suit a the Blazing Phoenix Ranger!

While nWay, the company behind Legacy Wars & Battle For The Grid, has yet to officially make this announcement, this is another pretty  astounding crossover for the Power Rangers. When the official announcement comes, most definitely accompanied by a video of Chun-Li in action, we’ll be sure to continue our reporting.

There’s been some (alot) of debate and speculation in recent weeks regarding the exact Makeup of Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection Wave 4. Multiple site listings, statements from Hasbro as well as it’s reps at cons, and leaked information have led to some degree of confusion about what to expect from the wave.

The biggest mystery has been wether or not this would indeed be a 4 figure wave as previous leaks had shown. Thankfully we now know for certain, because of confirmation from the Official Power Rangers Twitter that there will indeed be a 4th figure. And given previous store listings that have confirmed the last 2 waves, it’s all but certain this figure will be the Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger. Though which Yellow Ranger is currently up for speculation.

This tweet also provided new official images of the 3 previously revealed figures of wave 4; Beast Morphers Blaze, Zeo Ranger III Blue, and the SPD Red Ranger. The significance here is that these images fully breakdown the accessories for each figure. And it’s looking like so far Blaze will be the clear winner in that department. We are expecting the 4th and fina figure of this wave to be revealed very soon. Keep up with all of the  latest Lightning Collection updates in our ongoing discussion thread, linked below.

New listings for the Power Rangers Lightning Collection action figure series have confirmed the case breakdowns for the next two waves of this fan-favorite line!

2x PRG LC SPD RED RANGER 6IN FIGURE (630509905256).
2x PRG LC BMR CYBERVILLAIN BLAZE 6IN FIGURE (630509905263).
1x PRG LC MMPR YELLOW RANGER 6IN FIGURE (630509905270).

2x PRG LC MMPR BLUE RANGER 6IN FIGURE (630509936052).
