The upcoming release of the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer from Denji Sentai Megaranger, better known as Power Rangers In Space for those of us who grew up with the Power Rangers, was originally scheduled to release in December of 2018. Unfortunately, due to what Bandai is calling a “production delay”, the item has been delayed with no current timetable for release.

It should be noted that the previous Super Sentai Artisan releases – specifically the SP License from Dekaranger and before that the Aura Changer from Dairanger – have suffered from quality control issues resulting in entire production run replacements.

The Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer had recently had payment requests go out. This is the first time an item this close to release has been delayed.

Once again the detective work of @PowerRangerTalk on Twitter has revealed even more upcoming listings for Hasbro‘s venture in to the Power Rangers brand. This time we have listings on Amazon for the younger kids – Playskool Heroes Power Rangers! This is, basically, Hasbro‘s competitive line against the Imaginext toys from Mattel. They are as follows:

Playskool Heroes Power Rangers
– Feature T-Rex Zords ($12.99)
– Mega Mighties ($11.99)
– Mighty Morphin Red Ranger ($11.99)
– Blind Bags ($3.99)
– 2 Pack Figures ($9.99)
– Morphin Rinozord ($19.99)
– Morphin Zords ($19.99)
– Feature Wolf Zords ($12.99)
– Feature Zords ($12.99)
– Morphin Pterazord ($19.99)
– 2 Pack Tri-Cycle ($9.99)
– 2 Pack Red/Yellow Rangers ($9.99)
– 2 Pack Green/Black Rangers ($9.99)
– Mighty Morphin Black Ranger ($11.99)

While we don’t have exact details on these figures they look to also span many different series in the Power Rangers history – something the Imaginext line did not do. Get those wallets ready – it’s going to be an expensive spring!

Thanks to @PowerRangerTalk and some database searching through Amazon has revealed the first listings for Hasbro’s Power Rangers toy line, including the highly anticipated Power Rangers Lightning Collection. The revealed figures are as follows:

– Mighty Morphin White Ranger
– Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger
– Dino Charge Red Ranger
– Lost Galaxy Magna Defender
– Mighty Morphin Lord Zedd
– SPD Shadow Ranger
– Beast Morphers Red Ranger
– Beast Morphers Gold Ranger

Another figure listed with the “PRG” (we assume “Power Rangers Generations“) label is simply titled “Ultrazord”, and we are currently unsure of what that could be. A couple of roleplay items are also listed.

The Power Rangers Lightning Collection was first revealed at Power Morphicon with the iconic Mighty Morphin White Ranger as the first reveal. A promise from the Hasbro team that the lineup would be multi-generational and non-linear, meaning any Ranger from any series could be included in any assortment. The figures are in the same style as Star Wars Black Series and Marvel Legends, will contain multiple accessories, have 20+ points of articulation, and the Power Rangers will come with civilian heads that you can swap on the figure.

What do you guys think? Does this excite you for the future? Sound off in our discussion!

“So you think you have what it takes to obtain the legendary power?”
“The fact that I’m here is proof enough.”

A free but guilty man, Masamune Dan sought to take back his company, defeat his son, and discontinue those pesky Kamen Riders. Resilient to all strains of the Bugster virus, Masamune was uniquely worthy to obtain the power of the one meant to defeat Gamedeus. With the ability to Pause & Restart, Masamune would become Kamen Rider Cronus! But Taiga Hanaya was the first rider chosen to fight the Bugsters. And as Kamen Rider Snipe he saved countless lives. In order to stop Masamune’s final plot, Taiga exposed himself to Kamen Rider Chronicle and using his Gamer Driver and two Chronicle Gashats, he’ll take on Cronus as, Kamen Rider Cronus!?

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus is a bit of a unique release. While we all know Masamune Dan as the menacing Cronus with his ability to control time, Taiga also proved himself worthy of the power near the series finale and would even go on to use this power once more in the Another Ending Trilogy. This figure can represent either version of the suit! While it comes standard with Masamune’s Buggle Driver Zwei, an alternate Gamer Driver with Chronicle Gashats is included as well so to display the figure as Taiga! Will your own Cronus be the hero or the villain of your collection. I’m a sucker and I bought two of them!

We’ve attached the full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus to this post but you can also check out the full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time;
