Tomorrow starts a brand new season of Power Rangers! The new season, titled Power Rangers Dino Supercharge, is the second season of Power Rangers Dino Charge. In our season finale last year, the Red Ranger defeated Sledge and sent him to his presumed end in the side of a mountain. But it looks like not everyone on the ship perished at the hands of the mountain – the villainous Heckyl, and his alter-ego Snide, have not only managed to survive but take control of the remaining monsters! And now they make their move on our heroes, who have split up following the season finale.

The premiere of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge airs tomorrow (Saturday, January 30th) on Nickelodeon! Check local listings for exact times.

Check out this video trailer below, encoded in part thanks to the people behind RangerCrew, as well as nine preview images courtesy both PowerRangers.com as well as The Power Force. Get your Dino Chargers ready to Unleash the Power and watch the season premiere of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge!

Just over two years ago, three friends got together and decided that all their conversations they were having on text messages could be translated to an audio format – like a podcast – and maybe people would be interested in hearing what they had to say. Fast forward two years and we’ve been incredibly humbled by everyone’s support and well wishes for our podcast – Talkin Toku Podcast – as we’ve slowly began to close shop.

Today is the day that we officially end the podcast.

But, to quote the immortal band Semisonic and their infamous goodbye song, “every new beginning comes from some other new beginning’s end” – and nothing could be truer. While the podcast comes to a close, we’ve been working behind the scenes on expanding our media footprint in the world. While we don’t have anything specifically to share or announce as of right now, please note that we’ve committed ourselves to new, engaging ways to bring to you the same humor and passion that you’ve come to expect. Trust us when we say it’s worth the wait!

So here you go! Enjoy this – the last episode of Talkin Toku Podcast!

Mayday, mayday, SOS!

It’s been a long time coming but Tamashii Nations is finally back with a brand new Metal Hero release with S.H. Figuarts Fire! The primary hero of the series Tokkei Winspector, Fire is scaled down here in all his glory. While the figure may be a bit light on accessories, he does still included his signature Max Calibur arm blade and the standard sidearm of the Winspector trio, the transforming Daytric M2! Luckily Fire is also the perfect size to work with any vintage Winspector toys you may have lying around like those featured in our gallery. Bikel’s Winchaser & the DX Winsquad/Firesquad!

We’ve attached a small selection of images to this post. But feel free to click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a full gallery of over 75 images of S.H. Figuarts Fire! And don’t forget to speak with your Tamashii Web Exclusive middleman soon as well about getting orders in for S.H. Figuarts Bikel!

While you’re at it please do yourself a favor and give Tokkei Winspector a watch. Friend of the site and all around great person @WeeabooShogun on twitter has been blazing through subbing the series for the first time ever for the last year. Until recently Metal Heroes weren’t picked by sub-groups very often so it’s truly a treat to see this one given the proper attention it deserves. Head on over to the Sailor Otaku Weablog for links to episodes!

Hot on the heel of the Legacy Thunderzord reveal by BandaUK, Amazon France has put up the box image from the upcoming Legacy Falconzord.  The box indicates that it’s based on the Power Rangers: The movie, so does this mean that Legacy Ninjazord isn’t far behind? Share your thoughts with us in the thread below!

Have you gotten in a pre-order for the Legacy Falconzord yet? Look no further than our friends & site sponsor BigBadToyStore to do so!

The wait is almost over – the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Thunder Megazord is almost here! Easily the most anticipated item of 2016, the Legacy Thunder Megazord is set to hit retail in the coming weeks! Leading the front in early picture releases of Legacy items, the Bandai UK Facebook Page has shared some images of the box as well as our first official image of the actual toys connected together in the infamous battle sled formation!

under Power Rangers

It’s a new year and thus a new toy line is available for your favorite Power Rangers series! That’s right – Power Rangers Dino Charge is now Power Rangers Dino Supercharge and the toys are hitting all major retailers across the country (in various assortments that are causing collectors headaches … but we’ll touch on that at a later time!).

One of the sought after figures from the first wave is none other than the Purple Ranger, who made her debut in the season finale of Power Rangers Dino Charge. With thanks to our friend @doughwatchin on Twitter for helping us locate this figure (again, distribution and assortment selection is killing us), we present to you 40 images of some serious girl power!

How does she fare when compared to her mold counterpart the Pink Dino Charge Ranger? Check out our full review, along with the gallery, by either clicking here or clicking on the “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” link at the bottom of the post! Share your thoughts on this new figure!

under Power Rangers

It’s almost here! The very first issue of the new on-going Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book, published by BOOM! Studios, releases on January 13th, 2016. We were fortunate enough to be given a special preview of this monumental first issue and have written up a review!

It’s the first day back at school for our heroes and more importantly it’s the first day back at school for the recently freed-from-mind-control Tommy, aka the Green Ranger. But as our green hero quickly learns, one can never just walk away from the Rita Repulsa without some serious side effects. Can Tommy overcome the visions he’s having and focus on saving the world? Or will his hangover from being the evil Green Ranger eventually doom him, his friends, and innocent civilians? The answer may surprise you…

We’ve come to the end folks! With only one day left before we announce the winner of Toku Toy Box we’re officially posting our last gallery for the competition today! Tomorrow we’ll be featuring a roundup of all eligible entries for this years giveaway. But for now we’re going to take a look at our final entry, S.H. Figuarts Red Buster Gallery 2.0!

While Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters was not fondly looked upon by many fans it’s still a personal favorite of mine. Much like the series many people were turned off by the Red Buster figuart. Admittedly he’s not perfect, thanks to the limited upper arm movement and especially difficult to swap hands. But Red Buster more than captures the look of it’s on screen counterpart and includes a wealth of accessories like the Sougan Blade, Ichigan Buster, & the combined Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode! While imperfect Red Buster is still an admirable release that goes for some pretty rock bottom prices. Anyone looking to fill out their Super Sentai displays should definitely pick this one up!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but we’ve assembled a full review and over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Red Buster after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this page to see them all! And remember this is your FINAL chance to qualify for the Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

He will stop at NOTHING to get the Energems from the Power Rangers Dino Charge, including becoming an articulated toy for children! Releasing initially in the final wave of the Power Rangers Dino Charge 5″ figure line as well as being repackaged for one of many (someone at Bandai America is trolling collectors with the current distribution of toys) different waves in the first release of the 5″ Power Rangers Dino Supercharge figures, he’s the first original villain to receive a toy in a mainline release in … a very long time!
