After some back and forth with teases, silhouettes, and a plethora of rumors, we may finally have our very first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O!

Thanks to a tweet from @therealmatthunt we have what appears to be Zi-O sporting a pretty radical time & letters/characters based design. The images comes courtesy of a brand new Buttobasoul advert. And while it isn’t a full body shot, yet, it certainly seems to be our first legitimate look at the character.

A surprise update to the list of exclusives for this year’s Power Morphicon convention. On top of being able to grab your exclusive Legacy Lord Drakkon figure and your Funko POP! Vinyl Black and Gold Megazord collectible, you can also purchase a custom, hand-made throne for your Legacy Lord Drakkon figure. The throne is designed in the style of the character’s first appearance in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic. Thus, it is the Lord Drakkon throne.

Because these are hand-made items the paint application will vary piece by piece. As of the time of this posting, we do not yet know who is making these thrones. The extra details are below:

– $65 Attendees
– $80 Non-Attending
– $100 International Non-Attending
– Hand-Made
– Individually numbered and limited
– The throne is sold separately from Lord Drakkon – image of Lord Drakkon sitting in throne is for reference only

under Conventions, Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

As we enter a brand new age of Power Rangers toys and collectibles we are definitely ending the previous era with a bang! Revealed earlier this morning, a skew of Power Rangers toys are being offered as convention exclusives at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Even more shocking – not all of them are being offered through Bandai America.

The Legacy Psycho Silver figure will be available at San Diego Comic Con at the Entertainment Earth booth (#2343) for $45. You can pre-order any remaining figures from the show by clicking here.

One of the most anticipated wave of figures from Bandai America‘s Legacy 6.5″ collector line is the Psycho Rangers. We had confirmation that the original five (Red, Blue, Black, Pink, Yellow) were being released and as soon as they were, fans began to ask about Psycho Silver. As you recall, the Power Rangers In Space battled valiantly against the Psycho Rangers but always got bested by them until they realized each Psycho is programmed to best fight against the same color. As the Power Rangers lay exhausted, Psycho Silver appears and quickly finishes them off. His arrogance at fighting all the colored Rangers causes infighting amongst the Psychos until Psycho Blue injures his comrades in an attempt to fight the Blue Ranger himself. It is at that point we learn that the Psycho Silver is actually the In Space Silver Ranger, and together with the other Power Rangers In Space, destroy Psycho Blue.

From the official order page:

Entertainment Earth Convention Exclusive! “We’re the Psycho Rangers. We’re faster than you. Smarter than you. Stronger than you. But we’re evil!” From the Power Rangers in Space TV series, comes this Power Rangers in Space Legacy Psycho Silver Ranger Action Figure – Entertainment Earth Exclusive. The evil counterpart of the Silver Ranger from Power Rangers in Space makes his appearance in the Legacy line of highly detailed and articulated action figures from Bandai as this collectible 6 1/2-inch tall figure. With show-accurate styling and premium decoration, there are 21 points of articulation and a muscular, heroic design that’s perfect for play or display! Great for adult collectors and kids alike, the Psycho Silver Ranger comes in premium Legacy packaging.

NOTE: This item will first be sold at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 at the Entertainment Earth booth #2343. If supplies remain after the show, your order will be filled and shipped to you then, in August 2018. We reserve the right to limit quantities ordered.

Order your SDCC 2018 Legacy Psycho Silver figure now.

San Diego Comic Con 2018 is just around the corner, so it’s time to see what Bandai America has cooked up for their last SDCC Power Rangers exclusives!

This year Bandai is pulling out all the stops with three Legacy releases:

  • Legacy 6.5″ Psycho Green Ranger
  • Legacy 6.5″ Psycho Silver Ranger
  • Legacy Gold Ranger Zeonizer

This years’ exclusives pack quite the punch and should quench the thirst of many fans. Despite some uncertainty about wether some upcoming Legacy 6.5″ figures would even be released at one point, these exclusives mean that all 7 of the Psycho Rangers will indeed be released at some point. What a time to be a fan! Details on when and where these items can be purchased coming soon.

SDCC 2018 runs from July 19th-22nd!

I imagine it went something like this. Bandai: “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

Despite popular thinking to the contrary, a new wave of Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ figures has actually made it’s way up for order by way of Amazon! The image we’ve used for this article comes from the original reveal that these figures were possibly being developed, back in October 2017. There are no official stock images for any of these figures currently.

Legacy Psycho Pink

Legacy In Space Silver Ranger

Legacy Ninja Steel Red Ranger

Legacy Ninja Steel Yellow Ranger

Legacy Ninja Steel Blue Ranger

These listings have surfaced seemingly out of the blue. But it likely confirms the line is quite far from dead before Hasbro begins releasing it’s Power Rangers product next year. Curiously absent for now are the Psycho Yellow & Black Rangers to complete that team, as well as a Pink Ninja Steel Ranger. For now the listings are not active, but they can be added to a wish list if you’d like to keep track of them.

When these listings go live we’ll be sure to update you!

 

under Power Rangers

Following the conclusion of the Shattered Grid event in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Issue 31 (releasing in September) will showcase a BRAND NEW team of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

– The Ranger Slayer
– Magna Defender
– Zeo Ranger II, Yellow
– Green Samurai Ranger (Power Rangers Ninja Storm)
– Red In Space Ranger
– “Deathryuger”, the unused hero/villain from Power Rangers Dino Charge who is now officially known as The Dark Ranger!

There are no real details about how this new team comes together – or what happens to the team we know and love – except that all will be revealed by the time the team takes center stage! If you want to see more stories of the original cast of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, you will need to go check out Go Go Power Rangers.

We’re signed up for this one! Thanks to ComicBook.com for the story!

under Kamen Rider

Thanks to a new image released today, we have our first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O’s silhouette!

In a catalog flyer teasing the collectible gimmick and vinyl for Kamen Rider Zi-O, the suit itself also gets it’s first tease.  While there isn’t much to go on right now, it does seem rather telling that there are no noticeable protrusions of any kind (antennae, compound eyes, or otherwise) on Zi-O’s helmet. While that’s definitely happened before too, it’s an abrupt change from Kamen Rider Build.

So what exactly is Zi-O’s gimmick and collectible item? For now we really can’t be sure. But we will be sure to keep you updated as this story develops!

“Long live Shocker!”

After the defeat of the great Doctor Shinigami, the Shocker Army needed a new general to command it’s forces in Japan. To destroy the Kamen Riders, a member of their American west coast organization was recruited. The deadly and dangerous, Ambassador Hell! Capable of assuming a Kaijin form as Gargaranda, the Ambassador is a force of pure evil in his humanoid form as well. Utilizing his trademark whip to bind his enemies and rally his forces, S.H. Figuarts Ambassador Hell is here to build a new Shocker Army all his own!

Ambassador Hell joins the line at a time when the original Showa Kamen Rider series is getting more releases than it ever has. Expanding to villains has been something that S.H. Figuarts has always struggled with thanks to lower than average sales numbers. But the iconic greats like this can go a long way to reviving them in toy form. Joining the ranks of the various Shocker Combatmen on or coming to market this year, Ambassador Hell is a wonderfully interesting figure, though with a few faults. He’s sure to menace your Seihou Rider 1 & Rider 2 quite well though.

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery to this post, but you can also read our full review of S.H. Figuarts Ambassador Hell after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll see you soon again for another action packed gallery!

Today marks the beginning of the end of an era.

A recent business report announced that Power Rangers production & development company Saban Brands in Century City, California will be closing on July 2, 2018 as a result of the planned Hasbro Inc purchase.

A total of 60 workers will be dismissed, with 51 of the jobs to be eliminated on the date of closure. At time of writing, it remains unknown if Hasbro will employ any of the dismissed employees.

Saban Brand’s parent company, Saban Capital Group– an entertainment investment firm- will remain in operation.

We here at TokuNation wish to extend our best wishes to the dismissed employees, and hope everyone is successful in transitioning to new careers. May The Power Protect You All.
