“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.

“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!

“Unleash the beast!”

Since it was officially announced back in February 2018 that Hasbro (the massive toy company behind Transformers, Star Wars, Marvel, and much more) was picking up the Power Rangers master license from Saban Brands & Bandai America, fans wondered what the future of the brand would look like. But shortly after that initial announcement, Hasbro let the world know what the Power Rangers series was headed for with Power Rangers Beast Morphers! In recent months the show has begun airing, and in fact just went on hiatus with this weekend’s introduction of the Gold Ranger! With a fresh new take on the TV show thriving, it’s good to know that the toyline is as well!

With Hasbro taking over the master license for the brand, the toyline has completely changed. While still based in practice on the designs crafted for it’s Super Sentai equivalent, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, without Bandai America involved this line has been rethought from the ground up. In light of this seismic shift in the way the Power Rangers toyline is designed and approached now, Hasbro has also decided to reach out to numerous fan sites, toy reviewers, and other prolific members of the Power Rangers fan community to foster some good will towards the new line. To that point, I & and the entire TokuNation team are proud to be included among these individuals. Hasbro has generously provided a product review mailer for us to sample the entire initial wave of Beast Morphers toys! This product mailer was 100% free and shipped to us at no cost whatsoever, it is truly a gift from Hasbro. One we incredibly and deeply appreciate.

TokuNation has been around for going on 8 years now and I’ve been doing toy reviews/galleries for this site for nearly that entire time. To say I and we are honored, would be an understatement. A toy company has never personally reached out to me before in order to review their products. So I accept this rather graciously. While I’ll be reviewing every item in this product mailer individually in the coming weeks, I wanted to take today to simply break down the contents of this generous gift on the whole, and present the wonderful packaging it was sent in. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” for a full gallery and breakdown of the Beast Morphers Product Mailer”. You can expect our first gallery of figure’s contained within it, early next week!

Via Screen Rant we have our first look at the brand new 6″ Basic Figure Assortment from Power Rangers Beast Morphers! In what’s already shaping up to be a fantastic improvement over figure’s of lines in years’ past, the 6″ Basic figure assortment includes 3 Rangers & 2 villains!

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. The figures in the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS BASIC FIGURES Assortment stand at 6 inches tall, feature multiple points of articulation, and includes 2 accessories so kids can imagine the martial arts action of the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS TV show. Plus, with the included Morph-X key, kids can imagine unlocking powers in the Beast-X Morpher toy. The assortment includes the RED RANGER Figure, BLUE RANGER Figure, YELLOW RANGER Figure, CYBERVILLAIN BLAZE Figure and TRONIC Figure. Imagine the CYBERVILLAIN BLAZE and TRONIC Figures commanding the forces of Evox to steal the Morph-X and have the RED, BLUE and YELLOW RANGER Figures fighting to protect the Morph-X! Find other POWER RANGERS figures and gear, including POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS toys, to expand the morphinominal action. Each sold separately. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide.

On top of this massive reveal, Screen Rant has also exclusively released images of the upcoming roleplay toy to have this year for Power Rangers, the Beast-X Morpher!

Get ready to Go Go POWER RANGERS! In the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS series, Rangers morph into their superhuman form by activating their Morpher. Now kids can imagine that they’re activating their own super powers with the POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS BEAST-X MORPHER toy. Putting it on the wrist and saying “It’s Morphin Time” activates music, lights, and sound effects. Swinging it around as if battling monsters unleashes special animal-inspired sounds. Insert the included MORPH-X KEY to activate different character sounds and phrases. Look for other POWER RANGERS items that include MORPH-X KEYS to unlock even more sounds and phrases, along with other  POWER RANGERS figures and gear to expand the morphinominal action. Each sold separately. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide.

This pair of exciting reveals joins the equally seismic reveal this morning of the Beast-X Ultrazord! And all of this is 8 days before Toy Fair New York 2019! When more exciting new items from this series’ lineup are revealed, we’ll be back with an update.

“Install, Megaranger!”

In a surprise reveal, the next pair of Super Sentai Artisan releases has just been unearthed! Via @erasuterism on Twitter we have the first official images of the Degitaizer & Battleraizer from Denji Sentai Megaranger! 

This impressive set recreates both devices to the finest details including the Battleraizer’s cradle. But more importantly this pair has an incredible new feature billed as “voice recognition”, there’s a BGM mode to play music from the show, and there are numerous lines of show dialogue built in.  We don’t currently have release details or pricing but as soon as we do, most likely when the page for the set goes live, we’ll be sure to update you.

under Conventions, San Diego Comic Con

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!

“It’s Morphin’ Time!”

It’s been a while since we’ve tackled a Legacy release from Bandai, and with their time with the Power Rangers license coming to end, we thought it appropriate to take a look at one of their last high end releases. Making it’s way out to retail currently at Toys R Us (as they go our of business themselves) is the Legacy Zeonizer!

It’s  unfortunate that this collector’s piece is heralding the end of the line, and a retailer, but we wanted to take a look at it while we could. The Legacy Zeonizer is the latest in Bandai’s line of high end prop replicas, and frankly it may be their best effort. A wonderful recreation of the morpher used in Power Rangers Zeo, this collector’s piece features a number of built in light & sound gimmicks including unique Morphin’ call outs and specific colors for each ranger. Of course the icing on the cake is it’s best feature, the ability to play the entire Power Rangers Zeo Opening Theme!

You can check out our full 40 image gallery of the Legacy Zeonizer as well as a full review and breakdown of it’s features by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with a gallery from Kamen Rider Kabuto!
