Dino Cycle Charger! Engage! Energize!
Unleash The Power! Deinonychus!

TokuNation is proud to present the first in a series of complete, in depth, hi-res galleries for Power Rangers Dino Charge! Today we take a look at the mode of transportation for this years prehistoric heroes, the Dino Cycle compelte with 5″ Red Ranger!

The Dino Cycle is of course based on the Deinochaser from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. A vehicle regulalry used by the entire team, the Dino Cycle appears to have had quite a bit of additional original footage filmed for use in Dino Charge! The Dino Cycle toy itself is a pretty huge leap forward from the vehicles we’ve gotten used to the last several years. Able to separate into it’s 2 unique Deinonychus components as well as acommodate 5″ Power Rangers figures, the Dino Cycle also incorporates the Zord Builder system! best of all is that if you’ve been after the elusively expensive and rare Deinochaser toy, the Dino Cycle is a wonderful stand-in that even scales well with your S.H. Figuarts Kyoryugers!

Check out a full 60 image gallery of this great new addition to the Power Rangers Dino Charge toyline after the jump by clicking “Discus on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. In the words of our newest team of rangers, Unleash the power! We’ll be back in a few days with a complete Dino Charge Megazord gallery courtesy of our very own Kickback!

Chalk this one up to unexpected (at least, unexpected this soon!).

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie White Ranger Legacy Morpher has been released at Toys’R’Us. A member of the Facebook Rangers group, Chris Hagen, spotted the morpher and purchased it earlier today. The morpher comes with a gold White Tiger coin as well as a gold White Falcon coin. Unfortunately, the electronics remain the same as the previous releases, making this (other than the coins) simply another repaint. It’s important to note – it appears that the White Tiger coin is the same coin released in the SDCC 2013 Exclusive Green & White Ranger Morpher (gold and not weathered).

With Power Rangers Dino Charge at Toys’R’Us, this simply creates more excitement to get to your local Toys’R’Us to grab those new Power Rangers toys. Are you going to be picking up this new morpher? Sound off in discussion!

At the annual fan-festival in Japan this weekend, a variety of new projects were announced to celebrate the legendary Golden Knight’s tenth anniversary. With thanks to The Tokusatsu Network for translations:

The cast of Garo: Yami O Terasu Mono (literally The One Who Shines In Darkness) will return for a new film called Gold Storm directed by Garo creator Keita Amemiya, to be released on March 28 2015. This film will serve as a pilot for the newest Garo season, also called Gold Storm.

The cast of recently-concluded season Makai No Hana will return for a sequel film (title and details unconfirmed at the time of writing) and a spinoff film, Biku Yamigirinochi following the mysterious Makai Priestess.

A second season and film project were announced for the animated series Garo: Seal of Flames but no other details are available at this time.

Finally, a special Garo-themed musical project (tentatively titled Makai Opera and also directed by Amemiya) is being developed- release details to be confirmed.

Definitely a bright future for the mighty Golden Knight!

For now this is another toy sighting to take with heavy grains of salt. It appears that 2 more of the as of yet unseen Super Megaforce Ranger Key Packs have been discovered! The packs in question seem to line up with previously revealed listings uncovered by Raz . It would seem today brings us our first actual look at  two of the 15 packs he uncovered:

Lost Galaxy B
Lost Galaxy Green
Lost Galaxy Yellow
Magna Defender

Turbo B
Pink Turbo
Blue Senturion
Phantom Ranger

This image comes via twitter user @The_NerdAlert, though it appears the it’s also making the rounds on Facebook right now. If real this is big news for Ranger Key collectors as that checks two more elusive female keys off the list all the while giving us 3 extra rangers/heroes too! Phantom Ranger, Blue Senturion, and Magna Defender were all highly demanded keys and it looks like they may actually see the light of day. As more information becomes available on this sighting we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

As promised, a special preview for the new season Power Rangers Dino Charge aired at the end of today’s Super Megaforce finale.

This gives us our first look at the Dino Charge Rangers in action! With thanks to the good people at RangerCrew for uploading!

An interesting new story has hit the web, courtesy of the good people at The Tokusatsu Network:

 

Fan-favorite actor Tetsuo Kurata who portrayed Kamen Rider Black and Black RX will be returning to the world of tokusatsu in a new film production- AND the film in question will feature a new Black RX form!

While Toei’s latest cinematic project has not yet been officially confirmed, Kurata’s blog mentions a release in the Spring of 2015. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on any movie news!

After some on the set spy shots captured what was thought to be this Drive Type last month, it was only a matter of time before toy images surfaced. The wait is over now, Tire Koukan TK-05 Drive Type Technique is revealed!

The first thing you should notice is that like Type Wild, Type Technique shuffles the Tire Koukan gimmick around again. Type Speed had a sash along the torso, Wild had a shoulder attachment, but for Type Technique the Tire’s attach to the neck!

This figure will be released in December around the same time as TK-06 Machine Chaser, Drive Type Technique will retail for 3456 yen.

Take this discovery with a grain of salt for now but it appears we may have found our first packaged image of the Original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie White Ranger Legacy Morpher! Originally revealed at SDCC 2014 this morpher was thought to be released in 2015 at Toys R Us.

Posted by Instagram user loonztm the original source for this image has yet to be found. Supposedly this Movie Legacy Morpher was found within a Toys R Us location of some kind, whether that’s a retail store or a warehouse location is unknown, and then posted online. While it certainly appears to be a legitimate shot of the box for this upcoming Toys R Us exclusive, we’ve yet to be able to confirm that.

We’ll keep you updated on any new information for this product as it becomes available!

Let’s be real for a moment – who HASN’T seen the Legendary Battle finale episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce? Many of us already have – in different languages than English – and we saw it over a month ago. So this news is particularly sweet to hear – there IS an extended version of Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Battle, and it will premiere on Monday, November 24th on Nick Toons from 11pm to 12:15am (this block will contain “The Wrath” as well as “Legendary Battle”). This extended version has not aired anywhere in the world and we were first made aware of it when the cast of Power Rangers Super Megaforce tweeted about doing more ADR in the last couple of weeks.

What will we see? Will we get some talking parts for those who didn’t speak? Will that picture that popped up of Astronema appear in the episode? Are we going to get another 5 minutes of Mighty Morphin Green Ranger doing kiyas? Time will tell!

This episode will be available in its entirety on Nick.com as well as the Nickelodeon Smart Phone App the following morning of Tuesday, November 25th. This information comes through our involvement with Saban Brand’s The Power Force, of which TokuNation.com is proud to have two representatives of on staff.
