The end of the retail release of the Ranger Keys toy line from Power Rangers Super Megaforce has come – the final keys have been released at Toys’R’Us stores. That being said – we decided to take a look at these keys in what we’re calling the Ranger Key Celebration Week here at TokuNation.com!

Before we look at the Power Rangers Dino Thunder B assortment of Ranger Keys, please take a moment and check out our previous Ranger Key galleries!

– Power Morphicon Exclusive Ranger Keys – Titanium Ranger & Wolf Ranger
– Zeo Ranger Keys – Set A & B
– Lost Galaxy Ranger Keys Set B
– Operation Overdrive Ranger Keys Set B
– Wild Force Ranger Keys Set B
– Samurai Ranger Keys Set B
– Time Force Ranger Keys Set B
– In Space Ranger Keys Set B

The Power Rangers Super Megaforce – Power Rangers Dino Thunder Ranger Keys Set B set comes with three different Ranger Keys – a translucent Dino Thunder Red Ranger, a translucent Dino Thunder Black Ranger, and the Dino Thunder White Ranger. To have a complete set of Power Rangers Dino Thunder Ranger Keys, you’d need to pick up the Legendary Morpher Gift Set, which came with the Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger in a 20 Ranger Keys assortment. There was no key created for the Dino Thunder Triassic Ranger, mostly because it was a power-up form (although it would have been pretty awesome to get one).

The Power Rangers Super Megaforce – Power Rangers In Space Ranger Keys Set B comes with three different Ranger Keys – a translucent In Space Red Ranger, a translucent In Space Blue Ranger, and a In Space Yellow Ranger! Unfortunately, the In Space Pink Ranger was never released at retail and there are no plans currently for her to be released. If you wanted the In Space Silver Ranger you would need to pick up the Legendary Morpher Gift Set, of which he was one of 20 different Ranger Keys included in the set.

The best key out of the set is easily the translucent In Space Blue Ranger – but that’s just our opinion.

It’s time for some long over due news from Power Rangers Dino Charge! Thanks in no small part to the efforts of the wonderful @nightmere10 on twitter and her Power Scoop Blog, we officially have our first look at the cockpit of the Plesio Zord, as well as the rangers team power up!

This power up, previously seen in toy form during our Toy Fair 2015 coverage, is most likely the “Supercharge” referenced in the Dino Supercharge title, though the toys seem to refer to it as Dino Drive Mode. It’s refreshing to see Power Rangers tackle an original team power up once more!

Nightmere10 was also able to uncover a massive treasure trove of production/concept art & images from this series by Tracey Collins of Perception Projections for Power Rangers Dino Charge! It’s interesting stuff for sure, including some early looks at Sledge and his ship!

under Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

Did you know that San Diego Comic Con 2015 is barely a month away? We’re headed there once again for the third year in a row to give you the most in-depth coverage of everything at the show including interviews with Bandai of America and Saban Brands and other manufacturers of your favorite Power Rangers toys!

Today on Instagram, Bandai of America teased out four blacked out images stating that they will begin revealing the exclusives for this year’s SDCC later this week. But thanks to site contributor and Ranger Nation member @trekkieb47, we’ve been able to deduce exactly the four exclusive items that are coming from Bandai of America!

Now – we can’t say they’re confirmed, or at least, we can’t confirm the details. But we have a pretty good idea. They are as follows:

  • A Legacy Saba Sword repaint (most likely gold like every other Legacy item they’ve done)
  • A set of Ranger Keys (box is similar to last year’s set and the logo appears to be that of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie, making them Movie Ranger Keys?)
  • Another Tokyo Vinyl Pop figure, most likely the White Mighty Morphin Power Ranger (the last two years saw Mighty Morphin Red & Green)
  • A Doraemon figure (to which the Internet said “…a what?!”)

This marks the third year in a row where the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and/or White Ranger has more or less dominated the exclusives, causing the fans to groan out once more, “STOP FOCUSING ON ONE CHARACTER FROM ONE SERIES OVER 20 YEARS AGO!”

What do you think of this year’s exclusives? Sound off in our discussion thread and make your predictions – see if you’re right or if we’re right!! Special thanks to Rangerboard.com for the better quality original teaser image!

under Ultraman

In a similar fashion to the Ultra Monster Personification Eleking-San statue released a few years ago, Griffon Enterprises is apparently carrying on that concept with their Ultra Kaiji Gijinka line of PVC statues.

The first two to receive the bishojou anime girl treatment will be the Kaijus Zetton and Baltan, both will retail for 11,800 yen before shipping fees.

Zetton Girl will be released in September while Baltan Girl comes out in August, and both can now be pre ordered from AmiAmi as of this writing.

under Power Rangers

As we approach the summer months it is with a sad (or thankful) heart that one of the more collected items from the Power Rangers franchise winds down to an end – we’re talking about the popular (and sometimes hard to find) Ranger Keys from the Power Rangers Super Megaforce toy line. With the final wave of exclusive keys being released at Toys’R’Us as well as ToysRUs.com, many fans and collectors are finishing off their key collections. To celebrate one of the more popular gimmicks in the franchise’s long history, we’re spending the rest of the week doing various galleries of the Ranger Keys with a self-proclaimed title of Ranger Key Celebration Week!

First up is none other than one of the last packs to be released – the Power Rangers Samurai Set B pack which contains the Red Samurai Ranger (Translucent), Pink Samurai Ranger, and the Gold Samurai Ranger keys. The only key left out from this team is, sadly, the Yellow Samurai Ranger (and the female Red Samurai Ranger). But getting in to the debate as to why we needed three versions of the male Red Samurai Key is a debate for another time!

Check out over 25 images of this key pack by clicking the link here or by clicking the “Discuss” link at the end of the article! We’ll be throwing up galleries all week – don’t miss it!

Don’t forget to check out all of our past Ranger Key galleries!

The epic conclusion to Power Rangers Super Megaforce, the Legendary Battle, is scheduled to release on DVD on August 11th, 2015. This DVD will be the “extended version” edition, which is being labeled as an “Extended Edition Movie”, meaning it will most likely be the version that aired on Nick Toons last year. The “movie” also proclaims to have special feature titled “Power Rangers: A Legacy”, which features fan-favorite interviews with cast and crew while taking a look behind the scenes with the beloved franchise.

With a suggested retail of $14.98, Legendary Battle is set to release on August 11th, 2015. Special thanks to @LinearRanger on Twitter for the news!

under Kamen Rider

With an impending release this month Bandai has just released official images for a pair of upcoming Kamen Rider Drive Releases!

The DX Tridoron Shift Car allows Drive to access his final form, Type Tridoron! This massively powerful form can be controlled by Shinnosuke or by Mr Belt, marked by the visor turning red when he does. The DX toy of this shift car of course features it’s own electronic light and sound gimmick as well as compatibility with the DX Drive Driver! And while the Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron vinyl may not be that detailed, it does give us one of the finest looks we’ve had at this suit before it’s official debut.

Both of these items will be released this month, for 2700 yen & 864 yen respectively!

under Super Sentai

With an impending release this month Bandai has just released official images for the upcoming DX Otomonin Surfermaru from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!

Surfermaru follows in the footsteps of Paonmaru & UFOmaru. A new mini-robot in the style of Shinobimaru with an accompanying vehicle to combine with! When combined with Shurikenjin you can create Shurikenjin Surfer, or alternatively you can create Bison King Surfer!

DX Surfermaru will be release this month and retails for 2800 yen!
