Wild Access!

The Power Ranger Super Megaforce dry spell has ended thanks to photo & content member conundrum! So with that we’re back with a brand new gallery, and this time it’s the Wild Force Red Lion Zord!

The Red Lion is of course based on the mighty Gao Lion from Gaoranger, specifically based on his Gokaiger version of the character and his DX toy. Red Lion like Gao Lion features two unique combos with the Legendary Megazord. One a centaur like mode that serves as the Power Rangers Wild Force homage. The other is a massive samurai armor form that pays homage to Power Rangers Samurai. So far these forms are unnamed in the show, the toy packaging hasn’t given a name for them either. Their Japanese counterparts are Gao Gokai Oh and Shinken Gokai Oh respectively.

Our sponsors EntertainmentEarth.com have put up a new listing for an upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce item – the fourth wave of the popular Ranger Keys! To check out the listing and place your pre-order, simply click here! There’s a couple of question marks in our heads as we review the listing in detail:

 

  • Super Megaforce (Red, Blue, Green)
  • Megaforce (Red, Blue, Black)
  • Samurai (Red, Blue, Green)
  • Mystic Force (Red, Green, Yellow)
  • SPD (Red, Blue, Green)
  • Zeo (Red, Blue, Green)
  • Alien (Red, Blue, Black)
  • Dino Thunder (Red, Blue, Black)
  • Operation Overdrive (Red, Blue, Black)
  • Jungle Fury (Red, Blue, Yellow)
  • RPM (Red, Blue, Yellow)
  • Mighty Morphin Legendary Ranger Key Set B

The first question is … why is there a Zeo Ranger Green listed?  Everything we’ve seen and read before has Yellow listed (who is a female).  So which one is it Bandai?  There’s also the exclusion of the White Alien Ranger, who was the leader of the team, but was also female.  But just when you’re ready to start shouting sexism, you see RPM Yellow and Jungle Fury Yellow listed, who are both females as well.  And more importantly … where is Ranger Keys Wave 3?  Interesting times for sure!  Discuss away your thoughts on the new listing of Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ranger Keys!

The first official listing for the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ninja Zord has appeared on KMart.com! While this zord in specific is not one that many fans are looking forward to, the description of the item is leaving some fans scratching their head as to what Saban Brands and Bandai of America are planning. Part of the description reads as follows:

Enter battle with this powerful Zord and help the Power Rangers protect the Earth from evil! The Ninja Zord morphs between its Ninja form and the Megawinger mode to adapt during battle. The Ninja Zord comes with two Ranger Keys that can be inserted to activate a spinning Ninja blade!

For those who do not follow the history of Power Rangers, the name “Megawinger” comes from Power Rangers In Space and was the name of the personalized zord for the Silver Ranger. A previous picture of the Q-Rex Megazord, the personal zord of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce Silver Ranger, showed what appeared to be a shuriken-like wing on the back of the zord. Will this be a new combination for the Q-Rex Megazord using the Zord Builder configuration? Discuss away!

A special thanks to raz for sharing this information. Please be sure to check out his “Razzle’s Dazzles” blog for detailed information on upcoming Power Rangers merchandise!

Thanks to @TSilentWatcher on Twitter for the heads up, we know that a trademark has been filed by the powers behind Power Rangers for an upcoming television season titled Power Rangers Dino Supercharge. This is easily assumed to be the second season of the upcoming and recently announced Power Rangers Dino Charge.

What are your thoughts on the naming scheme of the second half of Power Rangers Dino Charge? Are you excited for it, or are you tired of the use of the word “super” with everything? Sound off!

Raiden Kamitsuki Gattai!

The original minipla fiend himself, Moonbasetom, is at it again with this gallery of Minipla Raiden Kyoryuzin Lightning Brave Finish Version from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!

This kit represents Raiden Kyoryuzin just at the moment it uses the  Lighting Brave Finish attack. Hence the very awesome mix of orange and yellow translucent plastics to replicate the energy of the attack. As with all of these special multi-box premium minipla sets, some awesome gold foil labels are also included to really spice up the kit. This set was originally a Bandai Premium Webshop exclusive released last month for 3675 yen. Check your favorite secondary retailers now to find this set!

An early image of the next Arms Change figure has turned up online, giving us our first look at Gaim’s “Jinba” Arms in toy form!

The Jinba AC piece is divided into four separate folding faces, meaning that this one figure can transform into all four of Gaim’s “Jinba” configurations! (for reference, the Jinba forms are Orange blended with Lemon Energy, Cherry Energy, Peach Energy or the previously-unrevealed Melon Energy).

This Arms Change release is expected to be out in stores late February/early March and should be available at the standard 3000 Yen pricepoint.

Mahou Sentai Magiranger continues on Let’s Watch Wednesdays at Tokunation!

The key has been found! The woman “Rin” is who the Magirangers must protect. But does she merely have the key, or is she the key itself? Or will she reveal herself to be something much more? Wolzard has finished amassing dark power as well. His chance to battle a Heavenly Saint has come. And the Hades Gate will appear, will the Infershia legions slip through? Will Branken actually be the victorious general at last? A new darkness will rise, very soon.

As always we’d like you to join us in our weekly discussion thread for LWW. Just click “Discussion the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to head right over!

And we’re back with another Ultra-Act gallery! You may remember our little segment on Let’s Watch Wednesdays last year featuring Ultraman Nexus. Is so you’re in luck, today’s gallery is of none other than Ultraman Noa!

Noa is the true and Ultimate form of The Next & Ultraman Nexus. A being of immeasurable power Noa has protected his universe for hundreds of thousands of years. Dark Zagi was even cloned from Noa by the Visitors in the hopes of creating a second great hero. In an ironic twist of this relationship the Ultra-Act Noa figure is a remold of Ultra-Act Dark Zagi instead. As yet another excellent addition to the Ultra-Act line, Noa has received a gorgeous design & sculpt as well as selection of accessories despite his extremely limited appearances.
