“What’s that you usually yell about now?
Something about ‘Morphin Time,’ isn’t it?”

For 4 seasons and 2 movies, one villain has been an ever present threat to the Power Rangers. This mighty winged has waged wars on countless worlds, making his mark across the universe. But after being freed from a 10,000 year slumber, the Power Rangers of Earth became his greatest foes. For millennia, he has served at the beck and call of his empress, Rita Repulsa. And even before that, he was a loyal general in the armies of the fearsome Lord Zedd. Born on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, the shining warrior Goldar is a force for all heroes to reckon with.

A Gamestop Exclusive, Lightning Collection Goldar has easily become one of the most in demand figures in this line. As the first truly modern action figure the character has received, there was quite a bit of hype surrounding it’s release. Pairing your Goldar up with Lord Zedd or the recently released Putty, a real army is starting to take shape to take on your Power Rangers. LC Goldar is armed with his signature sword as well as a pretty lethal looking effect part to accent it, and his iconic golden wings. As a standalone figure Goldar may have a handful of issues, but as a part of your larger Power Rangers collection he’ll feel right at home.

Check out our full 60+ image gallery of Goldar after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. You can also read through our full review of the figure in that thread. We’ll be back soon with a look at the future in our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz!

Renegade Game Studio’s Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid tabletop game came out last month and after a successful launch they’re back at it again with another Kickstarter campaign.

We’ve known for some time now that a Power Rangers: Zeo expansion was planned thanks to a Backer’s Choice poll that was held some time ago. The Evil Robot Clone of Dino Thunder Black is present on the banner, suffice to say that an expansion based on the Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel anniversary episode: Dimensions in Danger is also quite possibly in the works.

Other details are unknown at this time, but we’ll be sure to update you once the Kickstarter goes live on September 17th 2019.

“You will carry on the work we began.”

The original Magna Defender, was a fierce & noble warrior. But consumed by revenge over the loss of his son, the Defender resorted to vicious tactics to combat his enemies. In a bid to undo his terrible deeds & save the Terra-Venture colony, he sacrificed his own life, resurrecting Mike Corbett in the process. Brother to Leo Corbett the Red Galaxy Ranger, Mike’s body had been a vessel for the spirit of the Defender. Given a second chance, Mike is now worthy enough to inherit a hero’s legacy. Taking up the Magna Sword and commanding the Torrozord into battle, Mike becomes the next Magna Defender!

Of the various figures announced and released for the Lightning Collection line so far, the Magna Defender is by far one of my favorites. A solidly built and designed figure, the Defender feels right at home with any 6th rangers or extra heroes you have floating around in your collection. Fans of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy & Seijuu Sentai Gingaman will be incredibly pleased with how this surprisingly dynamic figure has turned out. Armed with the Magna Sword & Magna Blaster, the Magna Defender’s legacy is ready to live on!

We’ve assembled 70+ images of this figure for your viewing pleasure, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all, and read our in depth review. We have several special cameos in this gallery. We’ll be taking a little bit of gallery break this week, but we promise we’ll be back soon with more Lightning Collection and S.H. Figuarts galleries!
