It’s time for another trip down memory lane with the original dionsaur sentai. From Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger it’s S.H. Figuarts Armed Tyranno Ranger! This recent Tamashii Web Exclusive release is better known to western fans as the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger, it was released in North American markets by Bluefin in Power Rangers 20th Anniversary packaging.
This figure represents Geki, Tyranno Ranger, after the death of Burai/Dragon Ranger. He inherited the Dragon Ranger powers from his brother and with them control over the mighty Dragon Caesar! This event was interpreted in the US MMPR adaptation as the Green Ranger powers being weakened and requiring a temporary host in the Red Ranger. The real world explanation for this is the above Zyuranger scenario, at the time no more footage was available of the Green Ranger. In the source footage he was literally dead. It wasn’t until the “Zyu2” footage was created by Toei that the Green Ranger could return on temporary occasions.
Overall this figure takes the best elements of both Tyranno & Dragon Rangers and crafts one excellent toy with them. If you have either of the other 2 figures you may feel this one is superfluous. Trust us, it isn’t. It’s another excellent addition to any Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers collection and will complement your other figures well.

A Yahoo Movies exclusive reveal, we’ve got a brand new look at a new 2014 Godzilla film poster! As you can see this image makes the king of monsters seem much larger than previously thought. From Yahoo:
“The new poster gives us one of our best looks at Godzilla yet, though what’s most striking isn’t the creature’s design (pretty traditional and awesome) but his sheer size. He towers like a lizardy colossus over his target city of San Francisco, easily twice as big as its tallest building, the Transamerica Pyramid — and, as that skyscraper stands at 48 floors, that makes Godzilla himself about 100 stories high.”
So what do you think of this new image? Is this just a misinterpreted scale on the poster artists part? Or could Godzilla actually be this gargantuan? Sound off in the comments by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this article.

Toy Fair 2014 is winding down to a close. With that, there was a lot of news coming out from not only our coverage of Power Rangers, but also our friends Fury Diamond of SamuraiCast Blog and @trekkieb47 on Twitter. This news post should work as a comprehensive listing of all the news that came out for Power Rangers over the last couple of days. Enjoy!
– TokuNation.com’s Booth Coverage of Bandai of America
TokuNation.com was the first in the WORLD to bring you all the brand new images and news regarding a lot of the new Power Rangers merchandise coming out later this year. Fans salivated at the first images of the all new toy Legacy Titanus, geared towards collectors and, of course, able to combine with the Legacy Megazord and Legacy Dragonzord. We also caught glimpse of, arguably, one of the most anticipated figures out of the Super Megaforce toy line – the Armored Might Silver Ranger figure, which uses the Gold Mode Armor version of the figure. The official name of that mode for Power Rangers has yet to be revealed (though staff here has money on it being called “Super Mega Mode” or “Legendary Mode”). We also saw the upcoming 5″ Legacy Power Rangers figures, including some surprises – Titanium Ranger, Lunar Wolf Ranger, and Gold Zeo Ranger. If you haven’t already, click here and check out all 150+ images that we took of the Bandai booth!
Our good friend Fury Diamond of Samurai Cast Blog was also in attendance and took a video of his booth tour from that day. You’ve seen the pictures, now see what a booth tour is actually like!
– TokuNation.com’s Booth Coverage of Megabloks Power Rangers
Aside from Bandai of America, the other big showing for Power Rangers was Megabloks, showing off their latest and upcoming assortments for their Power Rangers Super Megaforce line. In our gallery we saw on-hand images of the Legendary Megazord, the Q-Rex Megazord, the individual zords that make up the Legendary Megazord (including an impressive looking Sky Ship build), as well as seeing some Legendary Power Rangers make their debut in the Megabloks line. Click here to see our Megabloks Power Rangers gallery!
Once again, our good friend Fury Diamond was also in attendance and took video of his time at Megabloks. If videos are more your thing, you’ll enjoy the video below! Check it out!
Finally, on Monday Bandai of America held a Collector’s Event. While your only way to see the booth prior was through scheduled appointments, the Collector’s Event allowed larger groups of individuals to take the same tour in a group, getting their chance to see first-hand the same images that we’ve shown you earlier in the news post. Our good friend and host of the Power Rangers podcast RangerCommandPH, Eric, @RangerCommandPH on Twitter, took video of his experience. Check it out below!
Last but not least, the company Loyal Subjects has some Mighty Morphin Power Rangers themed items coming out soon. Check out the previews of their upcoming items by clicking here to see our gallery!
And as for the text-based side of the news, our own Sentai Tamashii learned a few tidbits about this year’s Power Rangers selection as well as the future of things like Legacy Items, Tokumei Sentai GoBusters, and Fury Diamond was able to get some detailed answers as well! They are listed below for you!
– Legacy items will continue in 2015 and be brand new items
– Legacy Titanus will retail for $200 (confirmed by Fury Diamond, reported long ago by raz)
– Tokumei Sentai GoBusters was skipped in favor of adapting Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger due to an overall lack of profitability of the GoBusters line in Japan
– There are only 60 Ranger Keys planned for retail release in Power Rangers Super Megaforce (Fury Diamond)
– Additional Ranger Keys can and most likely will be offered through future conventions (San Diego Comic Con, Power Morphicon)
That should just about do it! We need to give out some very special thanks to individuals who gave up a lot of free time to attend Toy Fair 2014 and provide you with all the news and information above. For starters, special thanks as always to our network administrators Tony_Bacala and Joe Moore, and HissTank.com administrator DESTRO. A special shout out to our very own Sentai Tamashii for giving up some family time to head to the show to help cover for not only us, but our sister site ToyArk.com as well. We’d also like to thank Fury Diamond of Samurai Cast Blog as well as Eric of the @RangerCommandPH podcast for the hard work and money they spent to be able to cover the show.
So are you ready for some new Power Rangers? Join our discussion already well-in-progress!

The TFW2005, HissTank, Toyark and TokuNation crew is back from Toy Fair 2014 and we’ve rounded up all our links to pictures and info from the show that went up over the last 3 days. We go fast and hard at Toy Fair – in the last 3 days across the 4 sites, we posted 125 stories on over 50 different companies. Within those 125 stories, we’ve uploaded and shared over 5,000 images. Close to real time, high resolution images, straight from the show. That can be a little much to take in if you are just popping in today back at work or school. So, check out the links below for all the sites and catch up on the brands you like. We will have a couple more posts this week related to Toy Fair, some things we missed and some highlight posts.

After we first got word of the possible next Power Rangers series just 2 days ago you’d think it would be a while before any more solid information would come out. Well Saban Brands has officially confirmed the existence of Power Rangers Dino Charge and released the initial marketing poster for the series! Main image comes from Toy News International, back cover via Rangercrew.
The thought was that this series may be a combination of footage from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters & Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. Using much the same formula as Megaforce & Super Megaforce. Instead it looks like it may be solely an adaptation of Kyoryuger. Time will tell if any of the footage from Go-Busters may still be adapted but at this point there’s strong evidence that it may not be.
Get ready to see the Power Rangers Dino Charge chase down the 12 Paragon Prisms in February 2015!
