Toy listings for the first wave of Power Rangers Beast Morphers are officially coming online! Thanks to the good people at Forbidden Planet we now have an extensive look at the basic 6-inch action figures for this new season of Power Rangers.

The first wave consists of the first three Beast Morpher Rangers- Beast Morpher Red, Beast Morpher Yellow & Beast Morpher Blue alongside the CyberVillain Blaze and his Tronic foot soldier.

A brief story outline is included on each figures’ packaging:


IT’S MORPHIN TIME! From the all-new Beast Morphers back to the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Power Rangers have brought teamwork, action, and adventure to fans of all ages.

The legacy continues with figures, vehicles, collectibles, and roleplay toys from Hasbro, celebrating ranger teams from Mighty Morphin to the all-new Beast Morphers. Imagine all the action of Power Rangers with toys from Hasbro!

When scientists convert the power of the Morphing Grid into Morph-X, a group of teens are infused with animal DNA to become the Power Rangers Beast Morphers and protect the Morph-X from any villains who may try to steal it.

In addition, some character bios are also included:

RED RANGER CHEETAH POWER – The leader of the Beast Morphers, the rebellious Red Ranger rushes into the fight to stop Evox and his army of Tronics.

BLUE RANGER GORILLA POWER – The steady and loyal member of the Beast Morphers, the Blue Ranger stands strong as the Rangers fight to stop Evox and his army of Tronics.

TRONIC VIRUS POWER – Foot soldiers of Evox, the Tronics are an army of electronic warriors commanded by Cybervillain Blaze to fight the Power Rangers Beast Morphers.

CYBERVILLAIN BLAZE VIRUS POWER – The evil general of Evox, Cybervillain Blaze is a powerful enemy of the Power Rangers Beast Morphers.

“Reddo Fight!”

A while back we reviewed the very first figure in Evolution Toy’s Hero Action Figure (HAF) line. HAF Redman was unfortunately a mixed bag of QC issues. In the time since that figure’s release, the first and now second volume’s of the amazing REDMAN comic from Phase 6 and Night Shining. Series writer & artist Matthew Frank has crafted and truly compelling reinvention of the Redman story and breathed new life into an otherwise obscure cult character. Thanks to Matt we also got our hands on the subject of today’s gallery.

Today we’re looking at the incredibly limited Tokyo Comic Con exclusive REDMAN Volume 2 Dark Channel Edition! Not only does this version of volume 2 feature an exclusive limited cover differing from the retail version, but the Dark Channel also came packed with the the even more limited (just 300 pieces!) HAF Redman Dark Version! Thankfully, Matt was kind enough to pick up a Dark Channel Edition for us while he was set up at the Tokyo con, and was also generous enough to sign inside my personal copy of Japanese volume 2. Redman Dark himself is a familiar figure if you’ve handled the original, but there’s something to be said for a sleek black color scheme and some truly incredible glow-in-the-dark eyes.

“I think I was destined to choose this path.”

Little did Sougo Tokiwa know, his childhood dreams of being a great king were prophetic in a way. Should they ever come to pass, they could create the desolate future ruled by Sougo’s own evil self, the overlord Oma Zi-O! In the present, Sougo journey’s down the path of the overlord, defeating Another Riders as Kamen Rider Zi-O! But with the Day of Oma approaching, will Zi-O become the evil overlord? Or will Kamen Rider Geiz, the Time Jackers, Kamen Rider Woz, or even Kamen Rider Decade, manage to contain his power? Time, will tell…

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O kicks off this year’s new Figuarts sub-line as a pretty solid release. While assuredly many will take issue with this figure’s lack of accessories (which are included with the Ride Striker) this figure has a lot to offer and lots of personality. Zi-O is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. Though Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva still hasn’t been released, seeing Zi-O with his fellow lead riders is still quite the sight. And if you happen to have a DX Time Mazine as I do, you’ll find that Figuarts Zi-O works quite well with him. Zi-O also compliments Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade marvelously.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review of Kamen Rider Zi-O by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, things heat up, with our gallery of Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Heat/Metal!

“Hell Bros. At your service.”

The orphans Fu & Rai Washio were indoctrinated by Juzoburo Nanba, and raised to be weapons for the 3-sided war for the nation. Making use of the Nebula Steam Gun, the Washio brothers became Engine Bros & Remocon Bros! However, faced with the continued evolution of the Kamen Riders that threaten their master’s will, Fu Washio plays his trump card. Uniting the power of the Engine & Remocon Gears, Fu becomes Hell Bros!

S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros is another very familiar release for Build collectors. Using the iconic Night Rogue/Blood Stalk body for a base, Hell Bros builds on this with the gear theme inherited from the Bi-Kaisers. A gorgeous two-tone villain Hell Bros is armed with the versatile transforming Nebula Steam Gun system. If you have any experience with Rogue & Stalk, then you know this will be another great addition to your collection.

Hasbro has sent over the official press image for the upcoming Power Rangers Lightning Collection Beast Morphers Red Ranger, due out later this year (Fall 2019).

Official description below!

It’s Morphin Time! Introducing a new era of POWER RANGERS collectibles with Hasbro’s all-new POWER RANGERS LIGHTNING COLLECTION 6″ Figures! The LIGHTNING COLLECTION features over two decades of iconic characters from this storied franchise, and Hasbro is excited to bring its own take to this premium line. The LIGHTNING COLLECTION’s highly-articulated, 6-inch figures will have best-in-class detailing and design, and will feature Photo Real technology for realistic actor likenesses. In the BEAST MORPHERS TV series, the laid-back Devon Daniels prefers a life of video games and no responsibility, but steps up as leader of the BEAST MORPHERS as the Cheetah-powered Red Ranger. The BEAST MORPHERS RED RANGER Figure includes two different heads that can be swapped-one of the Ranger in his helmet, and another without as Devon Daniels from BEAST MORPHERS. Look for other collectible figures in this series, soon to be announced. Each sold separately. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide.

The booth at Hasbro‘s Power Rangers presentation was gorgeous. Included was the original Megazord suit filmed during Zyuranger. No – we don’t know if this is the one that was used in the Gokaiger movie, was stored at the Toei Museum, or what – only that it was shipped in from Japan.

Enjoy that and the fan-favorite helmet display for each year of Power Rangers.
