IT’S MORPHING TIME!
For those among us that still play nWay’s Power Rangers: Legacy War mobile game, you might recall that Street Fighter’s Ryu was recently added to the game’s roster as the Ryu Ranger(not to be confused with RyuuRanger of Gosei Sentai DaiRanger), and a live action short film was teased to commemorate the occasion. After some time; the Power Rangers Legacy Wars: Street Fighter Showdown short film has finally been released for your viewing pleasure.
Street Fighter’s own Ryu and Chun Li team up with the legendary Tommy Oliver(Jason David Frank) and Super Megaforce’s Gia(Ciara Hanna) to stop Rita and M.Bison’s nefarious schemes. The film was done by Bat in the Sun, known for their Super Power Beat Down videos in conjunction with Hasbro’s AllSpark Studios. The result is a fan film you’ll just have to watch for yourself:
What did you think of the fan film? Would you want more Power Rangers/Street Fighter crossovers in the future? Make the jump and let us know in the discussion thread.

“We need Megazord power, NOW!”
SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord!
The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.
Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.
Easily the most exciting display of the weekend at this year’s Power Morphicon was the enormous amount of screen used props that Hasbro brought with them to the show. Ranging from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers all the way through Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, fans were given a treat seeing these props up close and personal.
So of course we busted out our camera and took as many high resolution pictures as we could! Who knows if or when we will ever see these again? Every single prop that was on display is pictured in this news story. Click the title of the story to see them all!
Thanks to some fresh scans floating around from this month’s Figure Oh we have release information on a selection of new S.H. Figuarts, but more on that in a minute. In the mean time this issue has just confirmed official release information for Soul of Chogokin GX-85 King Brachion! This figure was just revealed to be in the works at this weekend’s Power Morphicon 2018 under it’s western release as Soul of Chogokin Titanus.
Figure Oh confirms that King Brachion is headed for a February 2019 release at 29,160 yen. Which seems to be a bit under most people’s expectations on price. Brachion also appears to be a general retail release, likely because of it’s western distribution as Titanus. With these confirmations we can expect official images of the figure to be released in the new future. When they are, we’ll be sure to update our ongoing discussion thread.
The biannual Power Morphicon has come and gone but we’re still sharing images from the event! There were so many things to take pictures of and so little time to do it that we’re still catching up! Hasbro pulled out all the stops in their first-ever Power Morphicon by cracking open the vaults and showing off some Legendary Rangers goodness in a number of costumes and props from the last 25 years.
We have taken high resolution photos of every single costume on display at the show. To check out all the delicious pictures, click the title of the story! Power Morphicon will return to Anaheim, California in 2020. We’ll see you there!
We’re back, with even more photos of today’s biggest announcement from Power Morphicon 2018. The Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin White Ranger! Which has absolutely been the talk of the con since it’s debut.
Our very own @TokuChris has been struggling to get a signal to send us photos and videos. But it seems he’s finally found the sweet spot of the convention center to get us a new smattering of up close looks at the Lighting Collection White Ranger! We’ll be back a bit later one with super hi-res shots of this display prototype, as well as a massive gallery of all the props, helmets, and full ranger suits on display at Power Morphicon 2018!
“It’s Morphin’ Time!
Announced at Hasbro’s Power Morphicon panel earlier today, the new Lightning Collection is already shaping up to be a fantastic replacement for Bandai’s now defunct Legacy 6.5″ line of figures. This amazing new line of 6″ scale, show accurate, accessorized, and affordable ($19.99) figures is a welcome addition for collectors worldwide.
Via the official Power Rangers Twitter account, we also now have access to the video shown announcing the line at said panel. This video breakdown gives us a look at the entire construction and production process of the prototype seen at the Con today. Which was then displayed publicly by Hasbro after the show.

Our old friend @JmannDX has provided us with some new higher-res shots of the Lightning Collection White Ranger as well, attached to the story after the jump. For now, see the video above for a fantastic first look at this line and what we can hope for in the future!
With Power Morphicon 2018 now underway, we have our first major reveal courtesy of Bandai Japan and the good people at Toku ToyStore!
At long last we have the third Soul Of Chogokin release for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers– none other than Titanus the CarrierZord! Also known as King Brachion for fans of Kyoryu Sentai ZyuRanger.
The long-necked Carrier is recreated in exquisite diecast detail- and based on previous releases should be fully compatible with the previously released DaiZyuJin and Dragon Ceaser Soul of Chogokin entries.
Sadly, price & release details for Titanus have not been revealed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Morphicon reveals!
