No Pink Spandex have exclusively revealed the artwork for Time Life’s forthcoming Power Rangers Seasons 1-7 DVD Boxset, which will contain Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Power Rangers Lost Galaxy over a total of 40 discs!
The set has been split into two smaller sets, with the first being the entirety of Mighty Morphin and the second covering Zeo all the way through to Lost Galaxy. The article also states that there will be two discs worth of bonus content in the Mighty Morphin box, and an additional bonus disc in the Zeo – Lost Galaxy box.
Check out the full images after the jump and head over to Time Life to preorder your copy of the monumental set!
Here it is! The first image of Power Rangers 20!
What could it mean? What does Saban have in store for the 20th Anniversary? Let the speculation begin!

Saban Brands, the parent company that is behind Power Rangers, has worked out a deal (pending court approval) to purchase the 4Kids! Saturday Morning TV Block. This would mark Saban’s return to running a block of children’s programming not seen since Saban left that market back with Fox Kids in 2001.
Keep in mind that Saban Brands has already been working hard to acquire the license to Yu-Gi-Oh!, one of 4Kids! TV’s hottest shows.
What does this mean for the future of Power Rangers, if anything? Could this be the beginning of the return of cult-classic-favorite Digimon? Stay tuned for details.

While no images have surfaced yet from the Licensing Expo currently being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, we do have commentary from famed and credible Power Rangers fan Fury Diamond. You can find the original post at the Ranger Crew Blog, but we’ve also summarized it here for you.
It would appear that in 2013 there will be two mainstay Power Rangers events – Power Rangers Megaforce and Power Rangers 20. There was a poster for each.
The Power Rangers Megaforce Poster showcased the Goseiger suits, the Goseiger mech, and the new logo. Sorry Gokaiger fans, doesn’t appear to be any type of “merging” going on for the seasons.
The Power Rangers 20 poster is much more interesting. The poster is a close-up of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger’s helmet, and in the visor you can see what would be a reflection of numerous other Rangers – most notably, all previous Red Rangers (including the Quantum Ranger) and in the middle of all of them, The Mighty Morphin White Tiger Ranger.
Stay tuned to TokuNation.com as we will bring you any updates and images as they pop up across the web!
This new press release sheds some interesting light on the recently-confirmed Power Rangers series for next year:
Power Rangers Megaforce introduces a plot line that is sure to captivate audiences with exciting new characters, villains, and high-octane action. The new series features Gosei, a supernatural guardian who for centuries, has protected the earth with his robotic aide, Tensou. But when the evil Warstar aliens begin their massive invasion, Gosei calls upon five teenagers with attitude to form the ultimate team…the Power Rangers Megaforce!
When the teens morph into Power Rangers, they gain superhuman strength, agility, and mastery over martial arts. In addition to defending earth against the Warstar aliens, other monstrous factions emerge to challenge the Megaforce Rangers. Under the leadership of a malevolent alien, toxic beasts rise from their slimy underground lair to attack the Earth and a ruthless robot army launches an offensive from their deep sea compound. In order to face these new threats, the Power Rangers Megaforce unlock powerful battle modes to fight their adversaries. Go Go Power Rangers! – fans can look forward to all new MEGA adventures in 2013.
Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details! :D
The live-action follow-up to the iconic “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” series is the next big release from Saban’s Shout Factory agreement.

We here at Tokunation are pleased to start a new weekly discussion thread entitled “Let’s Watch Wednesdays”, where every Wednesday we’ll discuss up to and including 5 episodes of various Tokusatsu series! Our staff debated and voted, and we hope you will choose one of (if not all of) the three options below for Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and Kamen Rider!
Let’s Watch Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue!
Mariner Bay is the home of this incarnation of Power Rangers who fight against demons led by the evil Diabalico! It’s also the first adaption of Power Rangers to include a Western-only Tokusatsu hero which was not part of the original Japanese Sentai series!
Let’s Watch Gosei Sentai Dairanger!
The Gorma tribe has returned and is taking over the world! Master Kaku has assembled a team of five youths with a large amount of Qi to stop them! You will recognize a lot of the monster and all the zord footage from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2 as the zords, the monsters, and the White Ranger were adapted from DaiRanger to Power Rangers!
Let’s Watch Kamen Rider Ryuki
The Rider War is here! There can only be one Kamen Rider! Each has the Advent Deck which has bonded them to a monster from the mirror world. Sound familiar? You may have seen this on the KidsWB network as Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Now see the story as it was originally told as we watch one of the most popular Kamen Rider series!
Every week we’ll move on to the next batch of episodes! Happy discussions!

On May 24th, 2002, famed Power Rangers scribe Amit Bhaumik finished his final draft of an episode of Power Rangers Wild Force that was meant to serve as a celebration/anniversary episode for 10 years of Power Rangers. Those of you who follow and are fans of Power Rangers will know that episode forever as Forever Red, probably the greatest “fanboy” moment in all of Power Rangers nearly 20 year history.
The story was total fan-service – remnants of the evil Machine Empire (Power Rangers Zeo) had regrouped on the surface of the moon to dig up Lord Zedd’s personal zord, Serpentera (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). In a mission deemed top secret, veteran Power Ranger and team leader Tommy Oliver (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, Power Rangers Zeo, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, Power Rangers Turbo, Power Rangers Dino Thunder) gathered together all the Red Rangers of the past (minus Rocky) to team up and destroy the remnants of the Machine Empire as well as Serpentera.
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Power Rangers 10th Anniversary, Amit Bhaumik has updated his personal blog with some details regarding the early days of drafting Forever Red, including new photos and scans of some of the original drafts/ideas/etc.
Click here to check out the Forever Red blog!Share your favorite memories of Forever Red in our discussion thread attached via this story. Is Forever Red the best Power Rangers team up? Or was Once a Ranger a better team-up? Maybe you just prefer the team-ups mid season between two teams like “Reinforcements from the Future”. Join in the discussion!
As Power Rangers fans are becoming accustomed to, Power Rangers “Super Samurai” is on hiatus until this fall, where the final remaining episodes will be shown.
What is Serrator’s master plan? Are we finally going to see the REAL ultimate duel between Red Ranger Jayden and Deker? But most importantly (and those of you who watched Shinkenger please don’t spoil it for those who haven’t) … Jayden’s secret will be revealed!
Check out the trailer below!
Editor’s note: Does the “Let’s do it!” sound like Tommy to anyone else? Haha!
