The face of the Power Rangers franchise – Jason David Frank – has died.  He was 49 years old.

For thirty years, Jason David Frank has celebrated Power Rangers with fans all over the world.  First appearing in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as the evil Green Ranger in 1993, his character “Tommy” would leave and return as the White Ranger, become the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, and star in two feature films (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie).  Eleven years after his first appearance, Jason David Frank would return as the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, giving the Power Rangers television franchise a much-needed boost during it’s second season under Disney Entertainment.

Jason David Frank would return twice more – once in the “Legendary Battle” episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, and again for the 25th anniversary episode “Dimensions in Danger” during Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel.  He also brought the evil comic book character Lord Drakkon to light in a short trailer for the BOOM! Studios Power Rangers Shattered Grid comic book event during the 25th anniversary.

At every single convention that Jason David Frank attended there would be massive lines to get pictures and autographs with, arguably, the most famous and popular Power Ranger.  Jason David Frank would make it a point to stay until the last fan in line got what they got in line for – whether it was an autograph, a picture, or just to say hello.

Jason David Frank had been working on and promoting the upcoming release of his creator-owned character via movie, Legend of the White Dragon, created with popular independent film maker Bat in the Sun (famous for “Super Hero Beat Down” YouTube shorts).  The film was set to release online in 2023.

He wasn’t perfect – nobody is – but for an entire generation of kids he was their hero. Our thoughts are with his family & friends in this difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Jason David Frank.  1973-2022

The epic conclusion to Power Rangers Super Megaforce, the Legendary Battle, is scheduled to release on DVD on August 11th, 2015. This DVD will be the “extended version” edition, which is being labeled as an “Extended Edition Movie”, meaning it will most likely be the version that aired on Nick Toons last year. The “movie” also proclaims to have special feature titled “Power Rangers: A Legacy”, which features fan-favorite interviews with cast and crew while taking a look behind the scenes with the beloved franchise.

With a suggested retail of $14.98, Legendary Battle is set to release on August 11th, 2015. Special thanks to @LinearRanger on Twitter for the news!

We look to the past
As we head towards the future
To reclaim the Digital world

With faith in ourselves
And trust in each other
We live by the lessons we learned

As we work towards one solution
Through a spirit evolution

It’s the end of 2014 and the start of 2015 and Talkin Toku is ringing in the New Year the way they do best – by being late to it! Join Kickback aka Chris, Den-O aka Jordan and Sentai Tamashii aka Tom as they spend 2 horribly long hours reflecting on 2014 and looking ahead to 2015!

Before the reflection begins – it’s time to talk current Toku! Join in the discussion of their continued thoughts as more and more of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is revealed! And the question everyone has on their minds … has Tom even seen the trailers for the damn show?! We also take a look at the extended Power Rangers Dino Charge (and discover if Tom has watched that trailer too).

Then we reflect on 2014. What was the Best Toku Toy of 2014? And the Worst Toku Toy of 2014? Reflecting on the year of news itself, What was the biggest Toku news of 2014? And the question that no one is going to accurately guess the answer to … our opinion on Which of the 3 Toku shows (Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Kamen Rider Gaim, and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) had the best ending? We also take a moment to read YOUR answers to those questions – thanks to everyone who submitted their thoughts/opinions/answers!

And by popular demand … the return of Toku Company’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2015 … what we think Bandai of America, Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Tamashii Nations, Bandai Japan, Saban Brands Entertainment, and Shout! Factory should have for New Year’s Resolutions!

Join us in this end of the year celebration as we celebrate a staggering average of 1.25 episodes a month and promise to do better in 2015!

Nininininininininininininini Ninninger!

The crew of Talkin Toku is back yet again with an action packed episode promising to dull your senses and cause you regret! Join Chris “Kickback”, Jordan “Den-O”, and Tom “Sentai Tamashii” for this trip down toku discussion lane!

Did you get your S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms figure yet? We did – and we’re not happy. Listen to us rant about what all three agree is the worst quality controlled product to come out of Tamashii Nations in quite awhile. We also discuss Power Rangers Dino Charge toys – namely the Dino Charge Megazord – and whether or not we think it’s a good toy and what, if anything, it has over it’s predecessor the Legendary Megazord from Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

EXCLUSIVE! Tom fails at being a good administrator at a leading tokusatsu website community. The plus side? You get to hear his reaction to the first image of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger during the podcast. What does he think? This is actually a pretty neat thing because how often does a fan of Super Sentai have their first reaction to the new series recorded? Check it out, it’s a pretty fun listen. We also touch on speculation of the upcoming series including what our thoughts are on possible henshin devices and so forth. And marbles. That’s right – marbles. Tom talks marbles. I can’t make this up if I tried. Just listen.

Power Rangers Dino Charge had the theme song and the smart phone app come out. Does it get the seal of approval from the guys? What about the theme song – what works, what doesn’t work, and does it hold up? Tom gives his $0.02 as he describes his youngest son’s reaction to the theme song.

We also take an in-depth look at the extended episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce as we end our discussion on the series that seems to have divided part of the fandom in terms of “IT SUCKS” versus “IT KIND OF SUCKS”. What parts of the extended episode were good? Which were unnecessary? And was it really as special as we all thought it was? Jordan gives his rundown on why he feels it was a lackluster extended battle, while Chris and him get in to it about one of the more fandom-popular moments of the extended Legendary Battle.

Finally – we talk some Toku Toy Box giveaway as the episode ends. Have you registered on TokuNation.com yet and posted in the eligible threads so you can win? You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, but don’t miss your chance at entering in each qualifying thread!

Enjoy! Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

That was unexpected!

For a week now Power Rangers has hyped up tonight’s extended episode of “The Legendary Battle” pretty heavy across social media and even on television. And TokuNation was there to live-tweet the whole 75 minutes to you! Here’s a recap of the entire episode, which included “The Wrath” as part of the 75 minutes.

  • 75 minutes long with commercials
  • “The Wrath” featured extended scenes
  • Longer “New Powers” fight scene
  • Extended Mr. Burley and Ernie scenes
  • Extra dialogue for Levira
  • Extended scene where Tommy saves a boy from a falling car
  • Extra dialogue before the Power Rangers fight the last general in the last episode
  • A longer battle with the X-Borgs while fighting the general
  • Silver Ranger turns in to Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and gives the Dragon Shield to Red Ranger, who wears it as he transforms in to the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger
  • An entirely new scene where the Power Rangers use all their Legendary Ranger Modes to fight Emperor Mavro
  • A helmetless morph scene (just like in Gokaiger for those familiar with the Super Sentai version)
  • Extra footage of the Legendary Rangers putting on their helmets
  • Dialogue for Karone the Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger as she says “I love being a Power Ranger” as her face morphs in to her villain form of Astronema

So there you have it. We probably missed an item or two, especially during “The Wrath” only because we didn’t bother to re-watch it before this special extended edition aired. So now it comes down to the big question – was this finale worth it? In this writer’s humble opinion – yes, it was. It felt like we got a fitting end to Emperor Mavro and any dialogue added for our Legendary Rangers is a win. But does it correct the flaws with Power Rangers Super Megaforce? That one we’ll leave up to you.

Linked to this news post is a new discussion thread and a new poll for this extended episode. Please take a moment to vote on it and share your thoughts. This episode will be available online in a few hours at Nick.com!

Let’s be real for a moment – who HASN’T seen the Legendary Battle finale episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce? Many of us already have – in different languages than English – and we saw it over a month ago. So this news is particularly sweet to hear – there IS an extended version of Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Battle, and it will premiere on Monday, November 24th on Nick Toons from 11pm to 12:15am (this block will contain “The Wrath” as well as “Legendary Battle”). This extended version has not aired anywhere in the world and we were first made aware of it when the cast of Power Rangers Super Megaforce tweeted about doing more ADR in the last couple of weeks.

What will we see? Will we get some talking parts for those who didn’t speak? Will that picture that popped up of Astronema appear in the episode? Are we going to get another 5 minutes of Mighty Morphin Green Ranger doing kiyas? Time will tell!

This episode will be available in its entirety on Nick.com as well as the Nickelodeon Smart Phone App the following morning of Tuesday, November 25th. This information comes through our involvement with Saban Brand’s The Power Force, of which TokuNation.com is proud to have two representatives of on staff.
