Tokunation has been doing tribute after tribute each month to the various seasons of Power Rangers. This month is no different, but our focus is, and this time it’s Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue! This year marks the 13th Anniversary of the show as well. Based on KyuKyu Sentai GoGoV, Lightspeed Rescue is definitely a fan favorite series.
Whether it’s because of Red Ranger Carter Grayson, or the first truly US exclusive ranger Titanium Ranger, or the expansion of the Battlizers this time used by Red Green & Blue Rangers, there’s a huge fanbase for this season! And with all the anniversary talk the cast members actually met up recently for a small 13th anniversary get together! This show had so much to offer fans with it’s more public safety/protect & serve rangers and their public identities.
To celebrate follow the links and check out 2 classic GoGoV Minipla galleries by Tokunation Photo & Content staff member MoonBaseTom. These vintage candy toy/Minipla kits are tough to find but incredibly fun and detailed for their time.

Bluefin Via facebook has just announced that an S.H.Figuarts Armored Tyrano Ranger will be released!

Thanks to Tokunation Member Kamen Blitz for the heads up!
Not long ago, it was announced that a special Kamen Rider Faiz themed Tamashi Act Stage stand will be released for this year’s Tamashi Features.
New in hand photos confirms initial speculation that an S.H.Figuarts Faiz figure will indeed be included with this set.
But what makes this figure unique is that it’s been treated with a special kind of paint that’s designed to react to the backlights that’s included with the set.
Tamashi Features will be happening this July! And those able to attend will be able to purchase this set for 6000 yen.
In addition to the exclusive Power Rangers Super Samurai 5-pack, Bluefin Tamashii Nations will also be offering a second Power Rangers related exclusive at San Diego Comic Con.

The news also states that “a hint for a yet to be announced release in the series is also provided in the pack, and only true fans will be able to guess what it is”. Interesting!
This very limited set will be available for $15 at the event. Check out the full-sized image after the jump!

Recently, it was announced that Ken Ochiai’s classic anime and manga: Tiger Mask will be adapted into a live action movie. Actor Eiji Wentz will be playing the lead role as Tiger Mask and the movie also stars Show Aikwa as Mister X, and Natsuna as the heroine Rukino.
The original manga told the story of Naoto Date’s alter ego: Tiger Mask, whom is a feared wrestler in America and extremely vicious in the ring. But after returning to Japan, Tiger Mask meets a young boy that idolized him as a villain, the boy lived in the same orphanage that he grew up in. Tiger Mask is inspired to be a more heroic wrestler.
The movie adaption however, is an origin story that pits Tiger Mask against an evil Wrestling organization. Tiger Mask’s costume receives a modern update, making him look closer to an American comic book super hero.
The film is set to premiere in Japanese Theaters this November, and a brief launch trailer has been released:
The end is hear for this installment of Let’s Watch Wednesdays! Last week we caught the final four episodes of Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger and with them we saw the defeat of a terrible immortal evil, and the death of 2 heroes. Now we turn to the epilogue of the series, Engine Sentai Go-onger vs. Gekiranger The Movie!
Jan has returned from his trip around the world, Dokokugan still safe around his neck, to find Nunchuck Banki! What goals do the Gaiarc ministers have? The Dokokugan is the key to their plan. But they don’t just face the Go-Ongers this time. Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger is here and they’ll bring the teachings of Jyuken to the Go-Ongers to create the unstoppable combo, Engine Ken!
