The Power Rangers Twitter page has revealed a new entry in the Power Ranges Lightning Collection series!
Fans of Power Rangers Wild Force will be thrilled to see the Surging Shark– Wild Force Blue Ranger recreated in superb detail.
Sadly, no other release details for the Lightning Collection Wild Force Blue Ranger have been confirmed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on the Lighting Collection lineup!
At long last Bandai Japan has revealed the most anticipated entry in the Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger Shokugan Modeling Project series- the mightiest combination, GaoIcarus!
GaoIcarus is the fusion of five unique Power Animals:– GaoFalcon, GaoGiraffe, GaoDeer, GaoRhino & GaoArmadillo. The massive GaoFalcon wings are capable of multiple configurations thanks to a special new joint design.
But GaoIcarus isn’t the ONLY new GaoRanger release on the horizon!
A special Premium Bandai set containing the Gao Elephant and the Giant GaoLion has been confirmed- offering fans a chance to create the last combination, Gao Centaurus!
With these SMP entries, the GaoRanger Power Animals are finally complete!
Sadly, exact pricing and release dates for the GaoIcarus & GaoCentaur sets are not confirmed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
Bandai Candy has officially published the first images of the next entry in the Super Minipla line, which will be the series’ first release based on 2001s’ Hyakuju Sentai GaoRanger!
The new version of GaoKing is recreated in exquisite detail, fully capable of transformation and alternate configurations. A second GaoKing face is even included as a bonus feature.
Fans of GaoRangers’ Mecha will be delighted to learn that Bandai plans to include EVERY main Power Animal in this series, selling as single Mechas rather than individual animals.
Finally, Bandai has confirmed that the Super Minipla line will be undergoing a rebranding- meaning this GaoKing release will be the first entry in a new series! The new name will be revealed when orders for GaoKing officially open- March 19 2021!
Bandai Japan has released a teaser for the next entry in the Shodo SUPER toyline.
The next Super Sentai to be released in this new series will be 2001’s Hyakuju Sentai GaoRanger (which Western fans will recognize as the source material for Power Rangers Wild Force).
Based on previous release patterns, this likely means a Super Minipla release for the Gaoranger mecha in the near future as well!
Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this new Shodo SUPER entry.
UPDATE 8:45 PM EST – Toys are not being reissued as a part of the show coming back to South Korea.
In a pretty odd turn of events, South Korea is set to see it’s third out with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger in 2020! This news comes straight from Yong San Power Rangers event, which you can see a video of HERE from youtube channel [림호]Tokusatsu. Gaoranger, like many sentai, has a bit of an odd history in South Korea. Super Sentai had been imported to the country since 1989 with Flashman. However in 1994, the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was imported and dubbed in Korean as “Invincible Power Rangers”.
The trend of Power Rangers being imported and dubbed continued until 2003 when Power Rangers Wild Force was brought in as “Power Force Rangers”. After this point Super Sentai was directly imported and dubbed again. Jump to 2010 and Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger was at last imported in it’s original form and dubbed over as “Power Rangers Jungle Force”, in lieu of airing Shinkenger, which at the time was seen as too Japanese for the Korean market. Now, it looks as though South Korea will once again be seeing Gaoranger next year in it’s Jungle Force dub, set to stream on the Korean Power Rangers youtube channel!
The setup for Toyfair 2019 continues, with a new handful of images from Hasbro highlighting the great new changes to the Power Rangers franchise!
