Fans of the Power Rangers rejoice – arguably the biggest “Why haven’t they made this yet?” role-play toy is finally getting made and joining the product lineup for this year’s 30th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Originally reported by The Illuminerdi and backed up by a never-before-released exert of an interview with the late Jason David Frank, Hasbro will be releasing the Master Morpher – which made its debut in the 25th anniversary episode of the franchise “Dimensions in Danger” during Power Rangers Ninja Steel – sometime this year. While there are no official details available (the item hasn’t been officially announced), it is expected to be a GameStop exclusive and available this Fall. In the show, the item allows Tommy Oliver to change between all five of his previous Power Rangers incarnations.
Toy leaker @LightningFigPR on Twitter has teased that the Master Morpher will come with six total coins – Dragon, Tiger, Falcon, Zeo, Turbo, and Dino Thunder. The Master Morpher should also come with newly recorded dialogue for each morph as seen in the show.
Stay tuned for more details as they release.
