“Hey rookies, meet my new friends.”

Blaze was meant to be a hero, a Power Ranger! Trained by Grid Battleforce with his teammates Roxy & Ravi, Blaze was chosen to become the Red Ranger. But on the day the team should have formed, fate and Evox, intervened. Taking the essence of Blaze and his abilities, Evox has created an Avatar of the would be hero, a new Cyber Villain general to lead his armies of Tronics & Robotrons! Now what began as a simple grudge between the original Blaze & Devon Daniels has morphed into something else entirely, as the would be ranger turned avatar battles the man who’s taken his place, the new Red Ranger……

Blaze joins the ever growing Power Rangers Lightning Collection as one of a handful of evil rangers in the line. An excellent addition, Blaze brings with him an intricately detailed sculpt with all the articulation hallmarks we’ve come to expect from this line, as well as a ton of accessories. Blaze is armed with extra hands, both his sword & an effect part for it and even the Robotron-Maker briefcase/laptop, but also includes an alternate unmasked head featuring a brilliant likeness of Blaze actor Colby Strong! As far as villains go, Blaze may be the best one in the line yet.

We have sadly learned of the death of another tokusatsu veteran.

Actor Keiji Fujiwara -best known as the voice of Cheeda Nick in Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters & also the voice of the Jackpot Striker in Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger EN FILM– passed away on April 12 2020 due to cancer.

Fujiwara’s resume included an extensive history in the anime world & was famous as the Japanese dub voice for Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Our thoughts are with Keiji Fujiwaras’ friends & family in this trying time.

“Let’s try my gorilla strength!”

Ravi Shaw was meant to be a Power Ranger. Selected & trained by Grid Battleforce, Ravi earned his place & his power with his teammates. But before they could become Rangers, Blaze & Roxy became something else. Loyal Avatars of Evox! Ravi’s former comrades would have done the same to him too if not for the intervention of Devon Daniels & Zoey Reeves. Joining his new allies, Ravi’s body is infused with Morph-X energy as well as gorilla DNA, turning him into the mighty Beast Morphers Blue Ranger!

Joining the likes of the Beast Morphers Red & Gold Rangers, the Blue Ranger is the third member of his team to make it to the Lightning Collection. With the evil ranger Blaze coming up in Wave 4 of the line, this group of characters continues to expand as well. As is, the Blue Ranger is another welcome member of the team! Packing a (literal!) punch, the Blue Ranger includes two effect parts as well as the Beast-X Saber and even a civilian head featuring the likeness of Ravi’s actor, Jazz Baduwalia!

“The mantis DNA worked! I’m a ranger!”

As a child prodigy, it was a no brainer that Nate Silva would join Grid Battleforce. Discovering a way to access the Morphin Grid and harness it’s very essence as Morph-X energy, Nate would go on to create a new generation of Power Rangers! But with the emergence of the viral villain Evox and his deadly avatars & Tronic soldiers, the world would need more than 3 Power Rangers. Abducted by Blaze & Roxy, Nate hatched an escape plan with some Morph-X and Mantis DNA. Now Nate, as the Beast Morphers Gold Ranger with his partner Steel the Silver Ranger, protects the real world from the digital armies of Evox!

The Beast Morphers Gold Ranger is yet another winner in Hasbro’s ever expanding line of Lightning Collection figures. A design that Super Sentai fans have wished to see in figure form for years, the Gold Ranger should appeal to both Beast Morphers & Go-Busters fans alike. A solid entry to the line, the Gold Ranger makes full use of the articulation layout Hasbro has engineered while being armed up with his Striker Blaster & Striker Sword! And as always I love the added bonus of the civilian head with a likeness of Nate Silva actor Abraham Rodriguez!

We’ll be back in a couple days with a long overdue review from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, as well as more Lightning Collection from Hasbro!

“How about another karate lesson, Devon?”

With the raw power of the Morphin’ Grid tapped, Grid Battleforce seeks to create a new generation of Power Rangers! 3 Recruits are chosen and their leader, their red ranger, will be none other than Blaze. Or he would have been. Thanks to the viral villain Evox, the Morph is hijacked and ranger recruits Roxy & Blaze become something far more sinister. Their bodies left in comas and their mind’s copied, these dark reflections of their true selves are loyal only to Evox, given the ability to morph into their own dark ranger Avatars….

Cybervillain Blaze joins the ever growing line up of the Beast Morphers 6″ Basic Line. Another real winner from Wave 1, Blaze gives your Red Ranger a rival at last, though Roxy is hitting store shelves currently as well. Blaze shares many of his design cues with the Basic Tronic, like the hip design, but this radically evil ranger has a presence all his own. Armed with his own Blaze Saber, Blaze Beast Blaster, and Blaze Morph X Key, this figure should be a welcome addition to any Beast Morphers (Or Go-Busters!) collection.

“Unleash the Beast!”

Was it chance or fate that Devon Daniels just happened to sneak into Grid Battleforce headquarters on the day that the villainous Evox infiltrated it? Planning to turn the soon to be Power Rangers into his avatar puppets, Evox struck and succeeded with two potential heroes. But thanks to Devon, Ravi, & Zoey, Evox hasn’t won yet. To stop the avatars Blaze & Roxy the latest generation of teenagers with attitude harness the power of Morph X to become the Power Rangers!

The Beast Morphers toyline has officially kicked off in Canada and the US! Meaning collector’s all over are beginning to see these toys in the wild for the first time. Some of the first products being spotted at most retail stores are the 6″ Basic Figure Wave 1 assortment. The Red Ranger from this assortment kicks the line off really nicely and sets the bar a lot higher than any ranger figure’s from Bandai America ever did at this price point. The new 6″ scale is a welcome change to most, there’s better articulation than what we used to get, no more steroid muscle proportions and these figure’s actually come with multiple accessories! Like the Beast X Saber, Cheetah Beast Blaster, and a Morph X Key! 

We’ve assembled over 65 images of the 6″ Basic Red Ranger in this gallery. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our full review thread. Our next Beast Morphers gallery will feature none other than Cyber Villain Blaze!

As we get closer and closer to the 2019 premiere of Power Rangers Beast Morphers, our first hint of merchandise for the show has also been revealed. Thanks to a listing that’s gone up on Calendars.com we have our first look at officially licensed artwork for the Beast Morphers 2019 Calendar!

Though the images are a bit small, they give us our first real look at the series is being marketed. The biggest deal about this calendar though is that it confirms the names of the three Beast Bots! These Bots are of course the Power Rangers equivalents of the Buddyroids from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, the series Beast Morphers is adapted from:

  • The Red Ranger’s partner is Cruise the jaguar (Cheeda Nick in Go-Busters)
  • The Blue Ranger’s partner is Smash the gorilla (Gorisaki Banana in Go-Busters)
  • The Yellow Ranger’s partner is Jax the Rabbit (Usada Lettuce in Go-Busters)

This listing was originally discovered by @Chaotix12345 on twitter. As the year progresses we expect to get more reveals of merchandise like this with licensed artwork for the show. If you come across any such links/items/etc, drop us a line!

Toei has announced several new details about the upcoming VS film, Uchu Sentai KyuRanger VS Space Squad!

Set four years after the conclusion of the KyuRangers’ series, this film centers around a unique new device known as the Neo KyuTama, which may have the power to restore the damage done to the universe by Jark Matter. But when the Neo KyuTama is stolen, its power is instead used to revive fallen warriors with strong ties to the Planet Earth!

The revived villains in question are:

*Mele from Juuken Sentai GekiRanger, played once again by Yuka Hirata
*Juza Fuwa from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger– with actor Mitsuru Karahashi resuming his role
*Basco Ta Jolokia of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger fame- featuring Kei Hosogai reprising the part
*Escape from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters– Ayame Misaki takes up this character once again

Definitely an exciting reunion of talented Super Sentai alumni!

KyuRanger VS Space Squad is currently scheduled for release on August 8 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exiting new project!

Our friends at HenshinJustice.com have landed an exclusive interview with the executive producer of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge season, Judd Lynn! In the interview, Judd discusses things from how he came to become the new executive producer (replacing Jonathon Tzachor), his familiarity with the source material Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the skipped series Go-Busters, and of course, Koichi Sakamoto.

Click here to check out the interview! Our friends online have been searching for any and all Power Rangers Dino Charge news, and speculation has the show beginning to film in October 2014 for the first 22 episode run in early 2015.
