Hasbro PulseCon revealed a brand new WalMart exclusive line of Power Rangers figures. This new series is called “Retro Morph Power Rangers”, and features retro styling of brand new auto-morphin figures. These are due out in Spring 2021 and Wave 1 consists of the following figures:
Fans will note the absence of a Green, Yellow, and White Ranger … but Hasbro teased that this is simply wave 1. These are available to order at 5pm EST on WalMart.com.
The first images for the seventh wave of Hasbro’s fan-favorite action figure series, the Power Rangers Lightning Collection have surfaced online!
An eBay seller by the name of CmdStore has posted in-package shots of the next wave, which we now know includes:
Rounding out this wave is rumored to be a repack of the Mighty Morphin White Ranger.
With these in-package shots, it seems likely the next Lightning Collection wave will be hitting stores soon! Be sure to join in our Ongoing Lightning Collection Discussion Thread to share your thoughts on these new Power Ranger releases!
We are now at the halfway point for Kiramager, and it seems like Toei just filled a new trademark for what could become the 45th Super Sentai: Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger!
The listing appeared via @trademark_bot, but at this time we have no way of telling if anything will come of this announcement or if Toei will even do anything with the trademark. Do check back with us in the near future though, and we’ll provide you with more info as it becomes available.
“This’ll be Kurenai’s debut battle.”
It is the Summer of Training. And while mentoring Todoroki’s inconsistent practice of the Taiko drum, and even bestowing the Ongekibou to both Todoroki & Ibuki, Kamen Rider Hibiki furiously trains himself. Faster, stronger, hotter. Burning brighter than he ever has before, Hibiki must master the rhythm of his core and burn like fire! Without it, the deadly Dorotabou will continue to multiply, wreaking havoc on the local villages. With an inferno of strength raging in his heart, Hibiki explodes into a new form, Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai!
Hibiki Kurenai is the first new figure that Kamen Rier Hibiki himself has received in the 6 years since his original S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou release. And explosive is the best descriptor for. A gorgeous redeco of the base Hibiki mold, this fiery repaint brings all the articulation hallmarks of this line with it. But more than that it comes armed with a vast array of accessories and weapons like the Disc Animals, Onkaku, Ongekibou and the Onizume! As the 5th release in the Hibiki Seihou line, what can we expect next of the Oni Riders?

A brief teaser image for one of the Rangers included in the seventh wave of Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection toyline has recently surfaced online. The figure in question is none other than the Dino Thunder Red Ranger!

“I was … trapped in a nightmare.”
When the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers freed Tommy Oliver from Rita Repulsa’s control, the prophecy was fulfilled and the Green Ranger, joined the side of good to defend the Earth. In one world. Once free in another, Tommy became something else entirely, Lord Drakkon. He ruled over a shattered world where only the Coinless stood against him. No longer a Power Ranger, Kimberly Hart continued fighting for her world, until she was manipulated by Lord Drakkon. Cursed with the Bow of Darkness, Kimberly became his tool. She became his Ranger Slayer. Her path has been full of darkness, but once a ranger always a ranger….
The Ranger Slayer joins the line as a part of Wave 5, along side the MMPR Blue Ranger, Time Force Red, and Trey of Triforia. Only the 2nd Boom! Studios inspired figure in the line, after Lord Drakkon, Ranger Slayer builds on the imperfect releases of the MMPR Pink & Yellow Rangers to give us our first really great female figure in the line. Armed with her own Blade Blaster, the Bow of Darkness, a triple shot arrow & arrow energy effect part, Ranger Slayer really is one of our favorite releases in the line thus far.
We’ve assembled over 50 images of the Lightning Collection Ranger Slayer for your viewing pleasure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery and review thread. Next time we’re returning to the world of the Oni Riders with a new gallery from Kamen Rider Hibiki!
Today’s geek culture has taken a serious hit thanks to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19. We have seen the staples in the convention world shut down with a shift to offering only a spattering of the content we’re used to, sometimes behind a paywall. Power Rangers fans will no doubt know that both Power Morphicon and RangerStop were forced to postpone their shows until next year at the earliest – there is no guarantee conventions will ever resume like they used to.
TokuNation is proud to announce our participation with The Viewing Globe – a Power Rangers Online Fan Experience for this Labor Day Weekend (September 4th through September 6th). This is a free convention created by fans of Power Rangers and tokusatsu in general.
The first guest announcements are as follows:
