USA Today had the scoop on this new image in it’s roundup of upcoming events and things to look forward to at San Diego Comic Con 2016. In addition to the image of the 2017 Power Rangers Movie costumes, below is a brief description from their article:

What’s old is new again, and that’s especially true of Power Rangers (March 24), the youth-tinged big-screen update of the popular 1990s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers kids show and movie. For fans of a certain age, Star Trek has a 50th-anniversary panel — with former TV space captains William Shatner and Scott Bakula — followed by an Aliens 30th-anniversary event starring Sigourney Weaver, Bill Paxton and director James Cameron. Comedy Central’s South Park, which starts its 20th season Sept. 14, will feature an interactive exhibit celebrating 20 classic Park moments. Plus, fans also can get a look at reboots of TV favorites, with panels for Fox’s Prison Break and 24: Legacy and CBS’MacGyver.

So what do you think of the Power Rangers 2017 Movie suits? Are they shaping up to be better than you’d imagined? Are you apprehensive about them? Let us know in the comments below! We’re sure to see these suits and even more from the upcoming film this week at SDCC 2016!

San Diego Comic Con 2016 is less than two weeks away and the panel information is beginning to be released! We’ve been keeping our eyes out for any Power Rangers panel news (what with the movie cast mentioning they’d be at the show this year) and so far we haven’t been disappointed – there’s two panels on Friday, July 22nd that deal with or probably deal with the Power Rangers!

First off – at 11:30am in room 5AB is the BOOM! Studios Power Rangers panel with host Yoshi Sudarso:

In January, BOOM! Studios launched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a new comic series based on Saban Brands’ hit ’90s live-action children’s TV series about a group of ordinary teenagers who “morphed” into superheroes to save the world from evil. Series writer Kyle Higgins, cover artist Goñi Montes, The Ongoing Adventures of Bulk and Skull writer Steve Orlando, editor Dafna Pleban, Saban Brands director of development and production Melissa Flores, and Saban Brands director of global consumer products Jason Bischoff talk about the series, the spinoff Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink, and the everlasting popularity of these “teenagers with attitude.” Moderated by stunt performer and actor, long-time Power Rangers superfan, and Blue Ranger on the current season of Power Rangers Dino Super Charge, Yoshi Sudarso. Plus everyone in attendance will receive a free Power Rangers item!

That’s right – the Dino Charge Blue Ranger is hosting! One can only imagine how much fun that panel is going to be. We will do our best to be there to cover it!

And later on that same day at 8:00pm in room 29AB is the Shout! Factory and Scream Factory panel:

Brian Ward (DVD producer) and Jeff Nelson (senior marketing director) make exclusive announcements, deliver sneak peeks of video from upcoming releases, and more.

Brian Ward likes to drop news on Power Rangers DVD releases in these panels. Will we get an announcement of Power Rangers Dino Thunder season set, or possibly something else related to Super Sentai? Stay tuned to TokuNation.com for your complete SDCC 2016 coverage!!

They’re finally here, the official reveal of the 2017 Power Rangers Movie suit designs!

Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive reveal and wow, what a reveal it is! The Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, & Pink Rangers are finally here and they’re quite a departure from what we traditionally see in Super Sentai & Power Rangers. EW had this to say about the suits makeup:

“Ours is an alien costume that grows on them, that’s not man-made. You can’t win everyone over, but we are trying to appeal to a more mature audience and gain new fans.” Fans like the Yellow Ranger herself. “It’s the coolest costume ever,” Becky G says. “I’m gonna wear it for Halloween for, like, five years.” 

While opinions will definitely differ greatly, these suits will be a hot topic of discussion.So tell us, what do you think about the reveal? Do the suits hue close enough to the original TV costumes for your liking? Are they too different to be relatable? Sound off in the comments!

As we get closer and closer to 2017, more and more information starts to come out regarding the new Power Rangers Movie. Today, various entertainment sites were given a first-look at Elizabeth Banks in her costume for Rita Repulsa.

The first main take away from the getup is the amount of green … you think she has a thing for the color green? This could be some fun foreshadowing for a sequel if the movie does well. If you remember your Mighty Morphin Power Rangers lore, Rita Repulsa eventually creates her own Ranger – the evil Green Ranger!

Join in the discussion and share your thoughts on the new look for the Empress of Evil!
