It’s time to show YOU the power of thunder! At this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2015, our friends at Bandai America pulled off one of the biggest reveals of the entire show when they unveiled the incredibly anticipated Legacy Thunder Megazord figure in their display with the rest of the Legacy items. Featuring plenty of diecast metal (why do you think it’s being hung up by wires!?) and said to be faithful to the show, this item immediately became one of our most viewed stories on TokuNation and shot up to the top of everyone’s “must have” list in terms of Power Rangers merchandise – including those who don’t even collect the merchandise!

We spent a lot of time trying to get the best shots possible to show you how the Legacy Thunder Megazord comes together and the incredible detail that went in to every little part of this figure. Click the story and check out 25 high resolution images.

The Legacy Thunder Megazord is due to ship out in November 2015 with an estimated release date of sometime in January 2016. There is no price point yet revealed. Please remember – this item is not the final retail version!

We took so many pictures while attending San Diego Comic Con 2015 that we’re STILL working on getting them all out to you! And one of the sets that took the most time was this set of 78 images of all the new Power Rangers Dino Charge figures that were on display. Included in this set are all of the villain figures that we’ve seen listed on Amazon such as Sledge, Curio, Wrench, the other villains whose names keep changing, as well as the Ammonite Zord, the Zord Armor Gold Ranger, and the massive T-Rex “stomp and chomp” toy that will be available this holiday.

Check out 78 high resolution images by clicking the title of the story! Then join in the discussion – which one of the villains looks the most amazing? Did they not knock it out of the park with that new zord armor? And who doesn’t want their own Rexy hanging out? Sound off!

This one is a little out of the ordinary for us but it was still pretty awesome either way. During San Diego Comic Con 2015 we spent a lot of time chatting with Bandai America, both casually and on the record about the future of the franchise and so forth (click here to see our on-the-record interview!). One of the cool things they mentioned was that the Dino Charge Megazord that has been at all their booths during this year’s convention cycle is the actual Kyoryuzin suit used in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!

That’s right – Bandai America paid to have Toei ship the suit for Bandai America to show off during the convention cycle. You know what that means? Remember the image of our own Sentai Tamashii holding the Dino Charge Megazord sword at this year’s Toy Fair? It means he was holding the screen-used weapon from Kyoryuger.

Wow!

So if you’re headed to New York Comic Con 2015 this year, be sure to reach out and gently touch this awesome piece that will one day find its way back to Toei for storage in the museum!

The onslaught of high resolution images continues from San Diego Comic Con 2015! The convention is over but now the fun begins as we go through our high resolution images and upload them for you guys to enjoy! Our exclusive Legacy Saba Saber is on its way – so until then, enjoy these high resolution images from the Bandai America booth taken last week at San Diego Comic Con 2015!

Join in the discussion – do you want one? And if so – how much are you willing to pay for it on the aftermarket? Tidbit … the prices aren’t that high right now, less than double the original cost (compared to previous years when prices were triple the original cost). Sound off Ranger Nation!

Our annual trip to the world-famous San Diego Comic Con may be over, but our coverage is not! After getting those first-look images of the new Dino Chargers last week, we’re back but this time with high-resolution images of all the new (or at least what appeared to be new) chargers!

Check out over 30 images of BRAND NEW POWER RANGERS DINO CHARGE DINO CHARGERS by clicking the story link! Some of them look great! Please note – we’re not entirely sure what is 100% brand new and what isn’t – there have been so many variants out there it’s hard to keep track – so some of these may not be “ALL NEW”, but a lot of them are. Enjoy!

More coverage is rolling in from San Diego Comic Con 2015! Just now our own Kickback and the SDCC network crew attended Saban Brand’s Entertainment’s Power Rangers Dino Charge panel! Presented below is a round up of the information from that panel as well as pictures from it!

The core cast of 5 rangers & Claire entered the panel each with their own unique spin on things, like Yoshi doing a flip & Camille punching the air. The panel began with some basic info about the actors like how this SDCC was Camille, Michael, James & Claires first ever, and how all were very excited. Everyone discussed their favorite seasons of the franchise. We got some insight into how Yoshi came from fan/stunt actor to full blown Power Ranger. Some great fun stories about each of the actors as well, like James being a terrible tour guide in his native New Zealand. The crowd and fans everywhere agree, this cast is fantastic and fun in person.

Chip Lynn along with Saban Brands Entertainment EP Brian Castatinni then took stage to assure fans that in future episodes we would see more rangers and that the joke was on us, things we thought they missed? They didn’t. According to him there are “no bad episodes this season”. Chip restated in no uncertain terms that “When this season is done, you’re going to say they were some of the best episodes of Power Rangers EVER.” The crowd was pleased and ready for more. After dashing hopes about past Dino Rangers ever returning we were treated to 2 videos. One a fall Dino Charge episodes trailer, which at last revealed it’s August 29th return date! And another which was a 2016 trailer for Dino Supercharge, the footage was actually reused from the Licensing Expo Marketing Teaser.

While we didn’t get to see the people behind the suits these video treated us to Gold, Purple, & Graphite Ranger footage! And after this 5 suit actors arrived wearing the brand new Dino Drive power up suits from Dino Supercharge!

The above article contains a round up of the pertinent information from the panel. Please click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this page to check out the full breakdown of the panel in tweet form.

Taking a break from our San Diego Comic Con 2015 coverage we’ve gotten an update to another story from a few days ago. Rumored only days ago, today we have confirmation on the final mecha for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. Releasing in October is the DX Gekiatsu Dai Oh!

As reported Gekiatsu Dai Oh is a brand new 6-piece combiner for the entire team. Each of the animals it’s composed of feature a hybrid vehicle motif as well as molded in flame details. Consdering Takaharu’s constant state of being “Fired Up” this is totally appropriate! Also as reported Gekiatsu will feature a chest missle launcher activated by a dial gimmick on it’s back. Each of the missles is actually the Ninningers themselves!

So what do you think of this bizarre new mecha? It’s been many years since a full team mecha upgrade like this has happened and it may very well be the first time a 6th ranger has received one and been incorporated in this fashion.

You may recall last year that Bandai of America had QUITE the display of Super Megazforce Ranger Keys. Well this year at their booth we’ve been treated to a huge display of current and fall releasing Dino Chargers from Power Rangers Dino Charge!

This very unique display not only includes some basic Chargers we’ve seen before but also a wide variety of brand new versions of previous chargers! New translucent plastics and metallic paint apps will be setting the fall assortments apart from earlier this year. In very much the same way Kyoryuger gave us multiple special releases of Zyudenchi. And not to be forgotten the SDCC exclusive Mighty Morphin Dino Charger set is also on display in all it’s glory!

Get ready to Charge It Up this fall with Bandai of America’s Power Rangers Dino Charge & Dino Super Charge toys!
