Austin St. John, better known as Jason Lee Scott the Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger recently returned to the fandom after being gone for many years while serving as a medic in the middle east. Through his official Facebook page he has done another audio clip, this time answering some of the more burning questions that fans have been asking on his page.

Why did he decline the 20th Anniversary reunion episode in Power Rangers Super Megaforce? What conventions will he be attending, and are any overseas? Would he be open to returning to the Power Rangers franchise? These questions and more are answered in this audio clip below! And many fans can’t help but notice a slight “dig” at Jason David Frank, which would stem from a long feud between the two actors which stem mostly from comments made redundantly by Jason David Frank at nearly every convention appearance. Check out this excellent audio clip below. Back to Action with Austin St. John!

The first teaser for the upcoming annual Super Sentai/Kamen Rider summer movie double bill is now online!

While there’s not much new footage in this preview, it does offer a glimpse at the special attendee bonus gifts: Anyone attending the screenings in Japan will receive a special new DX Ressha and DX Lock Seed (exact details for both are not yet confirmed).

The ToQGer and Gaim Summer Movies premiere in theaters July 19!

Many collectors just don’t simply have the green in their wallets to be able to afford all the cool stuff that comes out. And some of us simply don’t like various things because of the lack of articulation or just how something looks. When it comes to Bandai of Japan DX Mechas, sometimes articulation is sacrificed for playability and a gimmick. Such would appear to be the case with the DX ToQOh, where many collectors were just turned off by an awkward standing robot that has very limited articulation. If you’re one of those collectors who passed on that figure because of those reasons, then the Mini-Pla ToQOh just might be what you’re looking for.

Thanks to photo contributor MoonBaseTom, we have a number of high-resolution galleries of this mini figure for you to look at. Featuring nearly identical transformations to the full size toy, this figure should normally cost you roughly $25 before shipping for a set – though expect prices to go up as the item goes out of stock and is phased out of assortments. Click on the discussion link to be taken to the thread to see all the great images!

Site contributor baltmatrix also did a video review of this figure, so if you’d like to see it in action we have you covered there as well! Be sure to subscribe to baltmatrix’s YouTube channel so you can stay up to date on all these great figures and toys coming out for various franchises. I am an owner of this figure and I cannot recommend it enough – especially if you’re a fan of model kits or have been a lifelong Gundam builder and never ventured outside that realm. You will not suffer any buyer’s remorse on this item – except for the stickers. They continue to become a pain release after release.

So are you sold yet? Join in the discussion of this awesome Mini-Pla set! Be sure to get your orders in for the DiselOh assortment, which just had orders go live across various online important stores today!

This was a little surprise this evening. Nick.com has launched their latest web browser game, Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legacy, where you take control of the Super Megaforce Power Rangers characters and battle your way through stages, gathering key components to purchase additional Ranger Keys to unlock more powers.

I personally had some issues with the game – mainly that I suck at it! But maybe you can do better. Click here to check out the game! And also be sure to enjoy the random error in the listing of keys – the Magna Defender is now, apparently, the Quantam Lost Galaxy Ranger. The music is really awesome though – so check it out and let us know what you think!

It’s the final episode before the annual hiatus for Power Rangers! And in this episode, we are going to be treated to (so the description says) the reveal of just who The Silver Ranger is, where he comes from, and how he got his powers. Thanks to the Official Power Rangers YouTube account we have the preview for the next episode to show you. Check it out!

This episode of Power Rangers Super Megaoforce airs Saturday morning on Nickelodeon – be sure to check your local listings for the exact time! Are you excited to learn the history of Orion the Silver Super Megaforce Power Ranger? How do you think he will differ from the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger version known as Ikari Gai? Join in the discussion!

By way of AmiAmi we have our first official images of ToQger Minipla Case #2. Which is none other than the Resshas that make up Diesel Oh! You’ll need 4 of the individual boxes to complete a Diesel Oh, and with 12 boxes in one each case it breaks down to 3 full sets of Diesel Oh per case.

It looks like the minipla will treat us to most of the same functionality of the DX Resshas as well, even down to the ramp and cars on Car Carrier. Though it’s unclear if the cars can be removed. No combined Diesel Oh shot has been released yet but it’s only a matter of time now.

It seems the wait is almost over, as the Tamashii Nations website has uploaded a gallery of the forthcoming (and long overdue) S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Hibiki!

The pictures reveal that Hibiki will come packed with two sets of Onigekibou Rekka (one set for holding, and one to peg to his sides), two versions of his transformation tuning fork, 3 Disk Animals and two flame effect parts.

He will be released in August priced 5400 yen, so expect a similar quality figure to the recent Kamen Rider Kabuto renewal!

Mix!

It’s time that TokuNation brought you a juicy fix of Kamen Rider Gaim once again with a brand new Arms Change gallery!

Today we’re looking at AC10 Kamen Rider Gaim Jinba Arms! This very unique figure has the ability to transform into Jinba Peach. Melon, Lemon, or Cherry Forms! Lemon is of course the one seen most regularly in show, but as we know now depending on which Energy Lock Seed Gaim uses for a Jinba form he gains an extra ability. Of course toys can’t utilize super powers, but this one is fun and looks very stylish while trying to!

As always this is yet another excellent addition to the Arms Change line! Check out the full gallery of this figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Check back with us in a few weeks for an Arms Change Kachidoki Arms Gallery as well!
