Thanks to site sponsor Tokullectibles, we have a look at an upcoming re-release of TyrannoKing from their Power Rangers Dino Force dub of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.  In South Korea, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger was dubbed as Power Rangers Dino Force, and Kyoryujin was renamed TyrannoKing.

This re-release features some differences from the original release – different styled Zyudenchi and some missing paint on Tyrannoking.  See the images attached to the story for full details.

Currently no pre-orders are available via sponsors or major importers but when it releases you can likely find it listed via Gmarket.
