Bandai.JP’s official YouTube channel has put up a short teaser for the long-awaited SH Figuarts Hibiki!
This video gives us a much closer look at the Hibiki Figuarts sculpt than early magazine scans, and Bandai appears to have perfectly recreated the Oni Rider. We also get a close glimpse at some of Hibiki’s included accessories- the Ongekibou Rekka drumsticks, the Tuning Fork used to henshin and at least one Disc Animal.
Figuarts Hibiki is scheduled for release in August at an estimated price of 5400 Yen!
It’s been a few weeks since a new episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce aired. So how about we qeunch your thirst for more Super Mega Wins with this gallery of Prince Vekar & the X Borg! Thanks to Photo & Content staff member conundrum for contributing this one!
Just now making their way to retail, Vekar & X Borg are a part of the later assortments of 5″ Super Megaforce figures. So far these guys are the only villains in the line but the last couple years have shown us that the selection of bad guys in toy form tends to be limited. Both Prince Vekar & X Borg are affordable figures that are surprisingly better than the rangers themselves in terms of quality.

The latest scans are out for Kamen Rider Battle Ride War 2! In this latest update, the scans confirm that Kamen Rider Gaim’s latest form: Kachidoki Arms will in fact be playable. The glowing aura that surrounds him suggests that Kachidoki could be Gaim’s special form that can only be used when a meter is filled completely.
In addition, we have three more actors that will be returning to reprise their characters in voice form: Musashi AKA Kamen Rider Caucasus from God Speed Love, Hiroyuki Watanabe AKA , Kamen Rider Gaoh from the Ore Tanjou! film, and finally Takanoir Jinnai or Kamen Rider Sorcerer: From Wizard in Magic Land.
While this doesn’t exactly confirm it, the addition of Gaoh suggests that Den-O’s Wing Form should be playable.
Kamen Rider Battle Ride War 2 will be available for both PS3 and WiiU consoles.
Cho Mahou Henshin!
It’s time for the original Legendary Rangers to make a move in this weeks extra sized installment of Let’s watch Wednesdays featuring Mahou Sentai Magiranger! This week we’re watching 4 episodes, 28-31, because next week it’s movie time once again!
The devil’s glacier, Evil Ice, will freeze the world for Infershia! A secret Houka wasn’t meant to know, and her memory will be wiped! And to stop the ice, the Magirangers will seek the help of the saint who gave their mother power, Snowgel! With Snowgel’s blessing their legend will finally be born. A new power has come, Legend Mode! And with the power of Legend Mode an even greater giant than Magi King will awaken, Magi Legend! But what cost will this new power place on our 5 heroes?

Toku Nation has decided to switch focus. Since everyone thinks it’s Taco Nation, or just says Taco Nation because it’s much funnier than Toku Nation, we’re gonna roll with it. This will be an all Taco site. The roll out begins today. The forums have already been converted, and we will be implementing the front page Taco conversion over the next couple days. We hope you join us on the Taco Roller Coaster. Jump into our Taco on the forums here: http://www.tokunation.com/forum.php!
UPDATE: We’ve decided to stay with TOKU instead of TACO. Taco conversion canceled. Carry on.
For those who don’t know the very humble Kerrigan Mehan is the legendary voice behind Mighty Morphin Power Rangers flying ape of doom, Goldar! Astute fans may also know him as the voice of the original Magna Defender from Power Rangers Lost galaxy AND Jeb the dog from VR Troopers!
Well today Mr Mehan took some time out of his busy convention schedule, including a recent appearance at the Lexington Comic & toy Con, to share a video simply titled Goldar & Me. This fun video shows Mr Mehan and “Goldar” hanging out at home as well as sending out a challenge, to the original Red Ranger! Austin St. John will be making a return to the fandom and convention circuit with Florida Supercon after being over seas for some time, and it looks like Goldar is ready for a rematch!
Be sure to follow Kerrigan Mahan on twitter @TheTrueGoldar and check out Austin St. John’s Official Fan Page on facebook!
Even when the news is bad, you can always find a silver lining. The Power Rangers Super Megaforce find their silver lining this coming Saturday with the episode “Silver Lining Part 1”. This episode features the premiere of the 6th Ranger, the Silver Ranger. Thanks to our good buddy Fury Diamond and his Samurai Cast Blog, you can check out this awesome preview clip below.
The Silver Ranger is played by Cameron Jebo. For those who have not seen the Super Sentai show Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (which is what Power Rangers Super Megaforce is based on), he has some pretty cool Power Rangers that he gets to use during his legendary morphs. Are you excited for his premiere? Sound off in discussion!
With all the drama the last week, this is a real feel good story for fans of Power Rangers. If you grew up watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers then you should know who Austin St. John is – he played Jason, the Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger. After leaving halfway through season 2, he returned in Power Rangers Zeo as the new 6th Ranger, the Gold Ranger. He hasn’t been public with the Power Rangers fan community for a number of years but his Official Facebook Page recently announced his return – and now he’s coming back to the Official Power Morphicon Convention this August. His message was put on YouTube and can be seen below.
We would like to welcome Austin St. John back to the Power Rangers community, especially at a time when the fan community needed it the most. Please take the time to ”Like” the Official Austin St. John Facebook Page as he will begin posting on the page himself in time. Please click the “Discussion” link to share your favorite memories of the character Jason Lee, the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger and Zeo Gold Ranger. And while you’re at it, head over to MorphinMadness.com and vote for those two characters. #VoteZeoGold #VoteMMPRRed
