As with previous years, we’ve dispensed with doing large prize packs for a small number of winners, in favor of opening things up so we can split multiple prizes up among multiple winners. That means that for the 2019 into 2020 giveaway celebrating our 9th anniversary, we have 6 winners in total!!
And once again, we wanted your prizes to be total surprises. So the winners won’t know what they’re getting, until it arrives! It’s our way of giving the community a belated Secret Santa each year. The only thing that we ask, as always, is that if a prize is something you already own or do not want, please pay it forward. We’d just ask that you pass the good will along to someone else who could use a little good luck to kick their new year off right.
Now, without further adieu, the 6 winners of the 9th Toku Toy Box are:
– Matrixbeast
– GreenPsychoRanger
– GurrenPrime

“Alpha, Rita’s escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!”
10,000 years ago the evil witch Rita Repulsa waged a war against the forces of good, but standing in her way was the mighty Zordon of Eltar! A wise wizard of the light, Zordon and his allies rallied the forces of good for as long as they could, until Rita banished him to a trans-dimensional time warp. Likewise Zordon managed to seal the witch and her henchman away for eternity, almost. Knowing she may escape one day Zordon prepared for her return, taking up watch on Earth from his Command Center with his friend and caretaker Alpha 5. With the original 5 Power Coins in his possession, Zordon would be ready when the time came, to create the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Finally the mentor of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and his ally arrive. It’s been 10 years since the last attempt to make Alpha 5 & Zordon in a retail toyline. This go around they come in the collector oriented Power Rangers Lightning Collection in 6″ scale and feature stellar articulation on Alpha and electronic lights for Zordon. Surprisingly Alpha is an incredibly dynamic figure while Zordon is the static piece you’d most likely have expected. The only accessory included in the set is a really wonderful call back to the very first episode of hte series, Alpha’s teddy bear which he holds tightly when finding out Rita has escaped. Overall this 2-pack does everything it sets out to do and gives us a really version of both characters in this line.
You can check out the full gallery & review of the Power Rangers Lightning Collection Alpha 5 & Zordon Set in the thread linked below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And remember, commenting in this gallery thread will qualify you for one (1) additional entry in our annual TOKU TOY BOX giveaway! Offical rules HERE.
