Today is the official “launch day” for the Power Rangers Movie toys! And as fans rush out to their local Toys’R’Us stores to grab themselves some new Power Rangers Movie toys, RangerNation.com has shared some of the upcoming toy images.

We get our first look at the 5″ Movie figures. Red Ranger comes with his Power Sword, while Blue, Black, Pink and Yellow come with … blue fire-effect fist weapons. At this time, it’s hard to say whether or not they will have their traditional weapons like the Red Ranger or not, but some fans are expressing disappointment on social media. Also shown is Alpha 5.

We also get our first look at the Movie FX Red Ranger mask, complete with sounds from the Red Ranger in the Power Rangers Movie.

Head over to RangerNation.com for the official reveals. Images in this story are from Power Rangers NOW, who managed to find the retail-version images of these upcoming figures. Join in our discussion – are you going to pick up the new toys? Sound off!

Announced back in August, we finally have some new images and info from the upcoming Space Squad team-up movie featuring Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger & Uchuu Keiji Gavan!

The information revealed today is mostly things we either already knew or at least assumed. The venerable Kenji Ohba will of course be returning to the role he originated as Retsu Ichijouji/Gavan. This film also sees the return of Doggie Krueger/Dekamaster & Tetsu/Dekabreak. They previously returned with the the rest of the team in Dekaranger 10 Years After. It was assumed they’d be back again but it’s nice to see it confirmed.

Perhaps the most surprising bit of info revealed by the official Space Squad twitter is the addition of a previously unannounced villain to the film. Mad Gallant! This classic villain from 1985’s Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion has been resurrected to menace to menace heroes one more time. Also returning to voice Mad Gallant is his original actor as well, Junichi Haruta! Much like Grifforzer, Geildon, Apollo Geist & other resurrected villains the new Mad Gallant features a design reminiscent of his original with a few new additions.

Space Squad will be screened in theaters on June 17th and released on Blu-ray & DVD on August 9th 2017!
