Toku Nation has decided to switch focus. Since everyone thinks it’s Taco Nation, or just says Taco Nation because it’s much funnier than Toku Nation, we’re gonna roll with it. This will be an all Taco site. The roll out begins today. The forums have already been converted, and we will be implementing the front page Taco conversion over the next couple days. We hope you join us on the Taco Roller Coaster. Jump into our Taco on the forums here: http://www.tokunation.com/forum.php!

UPDATE: We’ve decided to stay with TOKU instead of TACO. Taco conversion canceled. Carry on.

History’s greatest Power Rangers continue to fight it out in round 3 of Morphin Madness![/URL] The ultimate tournament to decide which 5 Legendary Rangers will be made into a limited edition Ranger Key set by Bandai of America! But the message of Morphin Madness, what it’s really all about, appears to have been lost thanks to some unfortunate poking from two sides of the fandom.

At the end of the day this competition is for fun. It’s ultimate goal however is still the production of 5 Ranger Keys. As we know BOA will only be producing about 70 keys out of 100+ rangers they have to work with. This competition will allow fans to pick 5 rangers to be made into a special limited edition Ranger Key set. Keys that simply wouldn’t exist without fan support in an event like this. The competition has been fierce and heated, but fans have stuck with it to vote for their favorite rangers and the ones they find most in need of the Ranger Key treatment. Today TokuNation would like to take a moment to honor 5 of Round 3’s rangers in a little segment we’re calling Power Playback!

Power Playback is a community viewing event that consists of 1 episode each, from 5 different classic Power Rangers seasons! Designed to give people a chance to experience some of these rangers for the first time or relive them all over again, Power Playback also gets your foot in the door on 5 classic Power Rangers series; Zeo, Mystic Force, Turbo, Lightspeed Rescue, & In Space! Each of these episodes is the 1st appearance of a Legendary Power Ranger featured in the current round of Morphin Madness!

Power Rangers Zeo “The Power Of Gold” – The first appearance of the Gold Ranger!

Power Rangers Turbo “Phantom Phenomenon” – The first appearance of the Phantom Ranger!

Power Rangers In Space “From Out Of Nowhere Part 1” – The first appearance of the In Space Red Ranger!

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue “From Deep In The Shadows” – The first appearance of the Titanium Ranger!

Power Rangers Mystic Force “Broken Spell” – The first appearance of the Mystic Force White Ranger!

Check out these episodes, which are currently available on such streaming sites as Netflix,[/URL] and give us your thoughts in this thread. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a full rundown of each episode, along with the further exploits of each of these 5 rangers. Spoilers abound on the next page so read on with care. And be sure to head over to our massive ongoing Morphin Madness Thread[/URL] to share your thoughts on the brackets and how things are playing out!

The ultimate form for Jayden the Red Ranger of the Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai was the powerful Shogun Mode.  With this mode, he was able to defeat the evil Master Xandred once and for all!  And thanks to TokuNation.com photo staff member conundrum, we have a special gallery for you to celebrate that final mode and that final battle of Power Rangers Super Samurai!

Clocking in with 17 points of articulation and a nifty crimson paint job, the Shogun Mode Red Ranger figure is a pretty slick looking figure!  It even comes with the Bullzooka and the Mega Blade, which with this toy, can combine to form the Shogun Spear.  To check out all the images of this great looking figure, simply click here or on the “Discussion” link at the bottom of this news post.

Go Go Samurai!  Please share your thoughts on this figure!  We should also note – the Red Samurai Power Ranger is in Round 3 of Morphin Madness squaring off against the popular Titanium Ranger!  Who has your vote?

It’s time for another Titanium Powered gallery here at TokuNation!

Just to remind you, everyone’s favorite Power Rangers are fighting it out in Saban’s Morphin Madness competition! And the one and only Titanium Ranger is still going strong in this free for all competition! We’re currently at round 3 which means we’re almost to the end!  If he wins, he along with 4 other winning rangers will receive a special edition Ranger Key! With the competition becoming more and more fierce, the hosts of Talkin Toku, along with some very special guests from the Power Rangers fandom, are teaming up to bring you a very special Talkin Toku Podcast Morphin Madness Promo, to release very soon! Watch for it! And before you take a look at this gallery in honor of him, be sure to head over to Morphin Madness and cast a vote for Titanium Ranger!

Today we want to take a look at something just as unique and original as Titanium Ranger himself, and that’s his personal weapon; the Titanium Laser! This deluxe scale weapon is a child sized version of the one used by Ryan Mitchell in Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue. And it actually replicates both the Laser (blaster)  & Resuce (axe) modes pretty darn accurately. Featuring it’s own light and sound gimmick  as well, this toy was an abitious original production by Bandai of America. Check out the full gallery of the Titanium Laser after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

And once again I’d like to remind you where your number one stop and shop for vintage Power Rangers collectibles is, it’s RangerStop.com! The Titanium Laser used for this gallery was purchased from them for a fantastic price.

But don’t let their age fool you, these guys have come around on more than one occassion (in more than one intteration) to cause havoc for riders old and new! Though this version of the Combatman suit may not be the first, it’s easily the most recognizable even to casual fans of the franchise.

Shift into Turbo!

It’s time for another vintaqe ranger gallery! This time we’re taking a trip down memory lane with Power Rangers Turbo and the Turbo Shifter Phantom Ranger figure! Based on VRV Master from Gekisou Sentai Carranger, Phantom Ranger has a much more significant role than his original counterpart. An ally to both the Turbo and In Space rangers he quested across the galaxy to find Zordon, fought the Alliance of evil, and all the while provided the rangers with new zords! VRV Master was much more of a support type character and as such when the time came for Gokaiger’s 35th sentai anniversary season, he was not counted among the sentai teams nor even 6th rangers or extra heroes, and thus a ranger key was never made for him.

But we can change that! Saban’s Morphin Madness is still ongoing and while Phantom Ranger has made it to round 2, it’s up to you the fans to make sure he makes it all the way to the end! The 5 winning rangers of the Morphin Madness bracket will in fact be turned into limited edition Ranger Keys! This bracket would appear to be the ONLY chance for the Titanium Ranger & Phantom Ranger to ever make it into key form! So check out our full gallery of Turbo Shifter Phantom Ranger by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post, then head over to Morphin Madness and cast your vote for Phantom Ranger!

I should also mention that once again, this vintage piece of Power Rangers history was provided by the awesome people at Ranger Stop! If you’re looking for vintage and collectible Power Rangers merchandise they are your #1 stop! Head over to their site and check out their selection, and don’t forget the upcoming  2nd Annual Ranger Stop Superhero Toy & Comic Con in Orlando FL, November 7th-9th!

under Godzilla

Numerous reports have come in just in the last 2 weeks that Godzilla 2014 toys are finally hitting store shelves ahead of the films May 16th release date. As it happens I wound up being one of the lucky people to stumble across an Atomic Roar Godzilla today!

This figure of course features the iconic roar and Atomic Breath of the king of monsters. Though it may seem like a simple figure at first glance, it does a great job of conveying the detail of this new iteration of Godzilla. And honestly it’s a great and affordable representation of the character. For it’s price point it’s definitely worth a look.

Check out the entire gallery of the figure, and a short video of it’s electronic feature, by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!
