Thanks to a pair of new listings posted on Toywiz we have our first looks at two as of yet unannounced new items for Power Rangers Beast Morphers. Both Zords are of the “Converting” variety. So these are the combining zords meant to go along with the upcoming Beast-X Megazord components!

First up we have the Silver Ranger’s Beast Jet Zord! Luckily for this one, Toywiz does have an official description:“Imagine calling on the power of the Beast Jet Converting Zord and battling the Power Rangers’ toughest foes. Convert from robotic Scarab Mode, ready for a fight, to Jet Mode, ready to fly to the next place Zord power is needed. And, combined with Beast Racer Converting Zord, Beast Wheeler Converting Zord, Beast Wrecker Converting Zord and Beast Chopper Converting Zord (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.), kids can assemble the Beast- X Ultrazord to imagine taking on even more powerful foes. Go Go Power Rangers!” The listed price via Toywiz is $29.99and the figure is expected to ship in September.

Next, we have the Gold Ranger’s Beast Wrecker Zord! While the Toywiz listing doesn’t have an official description yet, it’s apparent what we’re getting from this release. This Beetle Based zord converts from insect to mechanical crane truck mode and can also combine with the Beast Wrecker or be used with the other 4 Zords to create the Beast-X Ultrazord! This Zord is also listed at $29.99 with a September release.

When a proper description arrives for the Beast Wrecker Zord we’ll be sure to update this story. Hopefully the reveal of these two zords also means that official images of the Beast-X Ultrazord won’t be far behind either.

Our good friend @MisturYellow on twitter originally discovered these listings.

“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.

See our full 40 image gallery as well as full review of 6″ Basic Cybervillain Blaze after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread. In our next trip to the Morphin’ Grid, we find out what a certain old Emperor of Evil has been up to with Hasbro’s Lightning Collection line…

“Unleash the beast!”

Thanks to Twitter user @Martian_Ranger new press images are now circulating for 3 new Power Rangers Beast Morphers 6″ Basic figures!

– 6″ Basic Silver Ranger
– 6″ Basic Red Ranger (Red Fury Mode)
– 6″ Basic Drilltron

This figure for Red Fury Mode provides our first official look at the power up for this season’s Red Ranger. We saw some filming images of this power up a few months back, but had no confirmation of it’s name or anything else about it before now. though it definitely takes inspiration from Red Buster’s Power Custom mode, this is an entirely new design. Likewise this is our first look at any figure for the Silver Ranger in this series’ toyline. Rounding out the trio is another really fantastic looking villain figure, Drilltron!

On top of this new, Martian Ranger has also discovered press photos for the upcoming Electronic Beast-X Ultrazord as well as the roleplay weapon for the Red Ranger’s Red Fury Mode, the Electronic Cheetah Claw!

Pricing and release windows for these new additions have not been made public as of yet, but we’ll keep you informed when they do.

“S.P.D. Emergency!”

His home planet Sirius decimated by Emperor Gruumm, Anubis Doggie Cruger came to Earth as commander of the law enforcement organization Space Patrol Delta. Cruger would protect the galaxy many times and mentor teams of Power Rangers for a number of years. The greatest team being Earth’s eventual saviors, the S.P.D. B-Squad. As heroic as they were, in desperate times Cruger used his Patrol Morpher to become the sworn defender of the galaxy, S.P.D. Shadow Ranger!

Another wonderful addition to wave 1 of Hasbro’s Lighting Collection line of figures, the S.P.D. Shadow Ranger is absolutely one of the most demanded figures in the line by fans. It’s been 14 years since SPD aired and this character’s popularity has maintained, not to mention the demand from fans of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger for a figure of Deka Master. The LC Shadow Ranegr figure at it’s $20 price point offers a wealth of articulation as well iconic accessories like the Shadow Saber, Patrol Morpher, and even an un-morphed Doggie Cruger head! For fans of both Power Rangers and Super Sentai, this figure is a must own.

“Racer Zord, Cheetah Strike!”

When it’s time to take on a Gigantronic with the Beast Racer Zord, there’s one mighty weapon that’s sure to do the trick. To destroy these viral villains the Red Ranger can call on the Cheetah Beast Blaster for one powerful attack! And now thanks to Hasbro you can call on the power of this mighty blaster to take on your friends with the NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!

Roleplay toys are the bread and butter of just about any modern toyline, and Power Rangers Beast Morphers is no stranger to that either. Whether it’s the Morph-X keys included with 6″ figures, the Beast-X Morpher itself, or the very NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster we’re looking at today. This is a wonderful and pretty nicely scaled roleplay blaster with powerful dart firing action and cheetah to blaster mode transformation! I’d also like to mention that this item was provided to us for FREE, direct from Hasbro. It was sent our way as a part of their generous Beast Morphers Product Review Mailer.

We’ve attached the full gallery to this post but you can also read through our full review of the NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we visit Beast Morphers, we’re taking a walk on the dark side with 6″ Basic Cybervillain Blaze!

The massive mecha known as the Time Mazine is the last line of defense between the rebels of 2068 & the dark overlord Oma Zi-O. In order to complete his mission of defeating Oma Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz travels from the future to the present day in his Time Mazine. Taking on Another Riders & Time Jackers alike, the Geiz Time Mazine is a formidable force in the fight to save the future!

The DX Geiz Time Mazine is a straight repaint of the big DX toy of the line this year, the Time Mazine. If you’ve handled the original Time Mazine, then you know exactly what you’re getting. This DX toy winds up being one of the best articulated mecha we’ve gotten in a while (take that Sentai!) and is completely interactive with the Ride Watches of the toyline. This figure is also scaled to work with the Rider Kicks RKF line and even transforms to vehicle mode. While the original Mazine came with the OOO Ridewatch, the Geiz Time Mazine includes the DX Diend Ridewatch!

We’ve attached the full gallery of DX Geiz Time Mazine to this article, but you can also read up on our full review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week, we’ll be back with the Power Rangers Beast Morphers NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!

“Guess who’s back?”

With Lord Zedd’s Scarlet Sentinel on the rampage, the Power Rangers need help. With the Green Ranger’s powers no more, Zordon & Alpha 5 have worked in secret to create the newest and most powerful member of the team. Stronger than ever before, Tommy Oliver returns as the White Ranger!

And now thanks to Hasbro, a better stronger toyline has been unleashed for Power Rangers collectors! The Lightning Collection heralds the debut of the now standard 6″ scale line of collectible figures for Power Rangers, and brings with it for the first time ever realistic proportions and design aesthetics. Wave 1 consists of the SPD Shadow Ranger, Lord Zedd, the Dino Charge Red Ranger, and our subject today, the Mighty Morphin White Ranger! Look no further than our gallery & review to see comparisons with S.H. Figuarts & Hasbro’s Marvel Legends, the incredible articulation engineered into this figure, and the wealth of accessories the White Ranger includes. Such as the Saba Saber, and even a civilian Tommy Oliver head!

We’ve attached the full 70+ image gallery to this post, but you can read our lengthy review of the Lightning Collection White Ranger as well by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back with more galleries this week from Power Rangers Beast Morphers & Kamen Rider Zi-O!

To dominate the Morphin Grid & the real world, the sinister virus Evox has demanded the servitude of Scrozzle and his army of Tronic soldiers! Cold, lifeless machines, the Tronic’s battle the Power Rangers of Coral Harbor at every turn. While they aren’t as powerful as Robotron’s, their sheer numbers can make things difficult for our heroes.  Thankfully for collectors, you can build your own army of the mechanical monsters with the 6″ Basic Tronic Figure!

The 6″ Tronic is the first troop builder villain from Hasbro and luckily has been hitting retail in decent numbers allowing many collectors to get as many as they need. Fortunately for us, Hasbro was kind enough to provide us with one for free as part of their Beast Morphers Product Review Mailer. With much of the same standard articulation as the 3 rangers released so far, the Tronic is another great basic figure to add to your collection. Armed with two Tronic Blasters and a Tronic Morph X Key this figure will antagonize your Rangers or compliment your Blaze quite well.
