The Shattered Grid event in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic has claimed it’s final two victims – Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo are leaving the book, passing the torch to Marguerite Bennett and Simone Di Meo as writer and artist, respectively. Starting in Issue 31, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Comic will Change Creative Team at Shattered Grid Conclusion.

This new team will be continuing on from the after-effects of the conclusion of the Shattered Grid comic event. Kyle Higgins states in an exclusive article with ComicBook.com that there is no giant reset button for the event – the changes that happen in the book are, for the time being, permanent and change everything (just look at the new team!).

The final issue featuring Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 30, which releases this August. The last work featuring Kyle Higgins as writer for Power Rangers will be the Soul of the Dragon graphic novel, which releases near the end of the year.

To Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo – THANK YOU. Thank you for taking a property known for being 100% kids oriented and telling real stories with real consequences. Thank you for taking Power Rangers seriously, showing the comic book world that our favorite spandex heroes can have awesome, gritty stories with heart and soul. You will both go down as creative legends in the Power Rangers universe.

To Marguerite Bennett and Simone Di Meo – WELCOME! We cannot wait to see what you have in store for the Power Rangers universe and we are excited to be able to take the journey with you!

Toei has uploaded a new trailer for the upcoming Super Sentai reunion film Engine Sentai Go-Onger- 10 Year Grand Prix!

A decade since their last adventures together, the Go-Onger team has long been divided thanks to the Human Worlds’ Isolation Barrier. Worse yet, a new Sentai Activity Ban by the Ministry of Defense means that if the Go-Ongers appear again, they will be labeled as terrorists! A major incident will occur to reunite both the Human & Engine team members- while the old enemy Gaiark Clan is along for the ride as well!

10 Year Grand Prix is currently scheduled for release on September 26 2018!

Looks like fans of the Power Rangers Legacy action figure series are in for one last treat!

A new listing at GameStop has revealed an upcoming exclusive Legacy action figure- Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger! This will be an excellent entry for fans of the iconic Dragon Shield configuration.

The Legacy Armored Red Ranger is listed with a price tag of $19.99 USD and has a tentative release date of November 15 2018! However, price and release details are subject to change. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting Legacy entry!

UPDATE TO STORY: A lot of readers have inquired on whether or not this is a Legacy 6.5″ action figure, or if this could be a Legacy flip head figure. To that end – we honestly don’t know for sure. What we DO know – “AF” stands for “Action Figure” in GameStop listings, so the speculation that this is a Pop! Vinyl is probably inaccurate.
The $19.99 price tag attached puts it at the same price range of the two Legacy figure assortments (both 6.5″ and flip heads). The assumption made is that GameStop has shown increased interest in selling items for collectors – specifically the Legacy lines – and this is another offering. Who knows – maybe the Psycho Ranger girls show up at GameStop in Spring 2019.

Thanks to a new image released today, we have our first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O’s silhouette!

In a catalog flyer teasing the collectible gimmick and vinyl for Kamen Rider Zi-O, the suit itself also gets it’s first tease.  While there isn’t much to go on right now, it does seem rather telling that there are no noticeable protrusions of any kind (antennae, compound eyes, or otherwise) on Zi-O’s helmet. While that’s definitely happened before too, it’s an abrupt change from Kamen Rider Build.

So what exactly is Zi-O’s gimmick and collectible item? For now we really can’t be sure. But we will be sure to keep you updated as this story develops!
