Thanks to GrnRngr.com’s Facebook page we have press photos for the upcoming 5th series of the Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ figures. This series has already started bleeding in to stores with the Zeo Red Ranger showing up in Series 4 case assortment refreshes. The wave is as follows:

– Zeo Red Ranger
– Zeo Blue Ranger
– Zeo Pink Ranger
– Dino Thunder Black Ranger
– Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger

We know that at least one case assortment that will be hitting stores will contain only the male figures. The female figures have yet to be seen in package, in production, or anywhere really. We’re still awaiting an update on the Zeo Yellow Ranger, who is part of the Series 4 figures and yet has not been released.

The press photos do not appear accurate to what is going to be released. Many of the “shiny gold” parts of the figures end up being a dull orange color instead. This change first started with the Series 4 figures and continues int he Series 5 figures. Hopefully we will have some answers at Toy Fair next month as to why.

Last week we saw the first official image of the upcoming Patranger vs Lupinranger Mini-Pla version of Lupin Kaiser. Today, we have official images for everything in the first series from the Mini-Pla release.

Click the title of the story to see all the images of the Patranger vs Lupinranger Mini-Pla Vs Vehicle Series Series 01. Special thanks to neoxul of the TokuNation forums for the heads up.

Mini-Pla are miniature versions of your favorite Super Sentai mecha in model-kit form. You literally build it yourself and apply stickers (or paint if you’d like) to create a smaller, articulated version of your favorite Super Sentai mecha. If you’re not thrilled with the articulation of the large DX Mecha, definitely consider giving the incredibly affordable Mini-Pla a try!

“NEW OMEGA”

We took a short break but now we’re back with out first brand new gallery of 2018! At both the beginning and end of last year, we really opened our Amazons with 6 galleries from the hit series. Alpha, Omega, Jungraider, Sigma, Mole Amazon, & Neo. To kick this year off we’ve decided to start with a gallery of the Amazon Japan exclusive edition of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon New Omega!

New Omega is Haruka Mizusawa’s upgrade from the 2nd season of Amazons, and the first true upgrade for any of the riders in the show. Using the new Neo Amazons Driver, Haruka’s traditional Omega suit gets retrofitted with cybernetic parts that give him a wild and unfinished look that’s really striking. This Amazon JP edition of the figure includes all the of the standard accessories like the Neo Blade arm, an Amazons Syringe, and two sets of hands, but also comes with the exclusive Green Tamashii Flame Effects!

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery of Amazon New Omega to this post, but you can also check out our full review of the figure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread. We’ll be back later this week with a full gallery & review of S.H. Figuarts Takeshi Hongo!

This April begins the mega event for the Power Rangers comic book universe! The Shattered Grid event, which takes place in both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers, features the return of the evil Lord Drakkon (the evil Tommy from a future alternate universe) and our heroes attempt to stop him. And they’ll need help from different Power Rangers throughout the Power Rangers Universe!

We have covers courtesy of IGN.com as well as some of the teams that will be featured in the Shattered Grid event! In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers you can expect to see Power Rangers Dino Charge, Power Rangers Time Force, Power Rangers RPM, and Power Rangers Ninja Steel.

In the Power Rangers Annual, which will feature specific characters, it would seem like we’re getting such classic Rangers as the Zeo Gold Ranger, In Space Blue Ranger, SPD Shadow Ranger, Samurai Red Ranger, and more!

We love Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. And we love Kamen Rider Ex-Aid figures. So obviously, we love the display shown off today of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Sports Action Gamer Level 3.

This is currently only a prototype and there is no release information available at this time. We can only hope that this figure sees a release as it looks beautiful!

Thanks to @dewachang on Twitter for the images.
