The long wait is over! After tons of anticipation and fan demand the mighty Legacy Dragonzord has finally been released! Though it’s been out for a little while now, this sought after piece tends to be hard to come by through regular retail. But TokuNation was lucky enough to get it’s hands on one for a full review & gallery!

The Legacy Dragonzord is of course an update the classic DX Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar toy from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger  toylines! Released at physical retail exclusively through Toys ‘R’ Us this figure is already hard to find much like the Legacy Megazord. Which speaking of, this figure is compatible with the Megazord! The Dragonzord is a fierce machine on it’s own, but combining it with your MMPR 2010 or Legacy Megazords can create the Dragonzord Battle Mode and Mega Dragonzord, the second of which will prepare you for the upcoming Legacy Titanus!

This update to the 20+ year old Dragonzord toy has been long awaited by fans of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and of the original Green Ranger. So how exactly does this figure stack up to the classic? Read on to find out! And as a special mention for this gallery, TokuNation’s newest Photo & Content staff member ThatRangerGuy was kind enough to take a couple of comparison shots of the original DX Dragonzord & Legacy Dragonzord for us.

We’ve assembled a full review & gallery of this latest release in the Legacy toyline for you after the jump. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to over 60 images and a step by step breakdown of this awesome toy!

Though we’re still several months away from the return of new Power Rangers Super Megaforce episodes on Nick, TokuNation has a little something to get you through this dry spell. Spotted recently at retail across the country and having finally been snagged by staff members we thought it was time to share with you the Q-Rex Megazord Gallery!

The Q-Rex is the personal Megazord of the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger! Sent from the future by the Time Force Rangers this machine can transform into it’s own Dinozord, Drill, & Megazord modes! A tribute to 3 past shows (Mighty Morphin Powers, Dino Thunder, & Time Force) this Megazord shares physical attributes with many of those Megazords that came before it. Like the Dragon Zord, Thundersaurus Megazord, or the original Q-Rex! Based on the DX Gozyujin toy from Bandai of Japan’s Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger line the Q-Rex puts it’s own spin on the design with the inclusion of Bandai of America’s Zord Builder system. With a plethora of these connectors & ports strategically placed through out, this toy will be a welcome addition to your collection.

After the jump we’ve assembled a lengthy review of this figure, exploring it’s many features and design elements. And we also have a 60+ image gallery for you to enjoy! If you’d like to take an up close look at the Q-Rex Megazord and see how it stacks up to it’s cousin, DX Gozyujin, then please click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottome of this post to be taken to our full gallery thread!

Bandai’s official YouTube channel has put up some early previews for the latest DX Resshas heading to store shelves!

First up is a close look at the Galaxy Resshas & their Beast Mode combination style!

And a two-step look at the massive Build Ressha & its combat formation, Build DaiOh!

Definitely a couple good items for ToQGer fans! Both should be due for release in the very near future, so those fans who were lucky enough to get pre-orders in should keep a close eye on their mailboxes!

Thanks once again to the awesome @PockyBandit on Twitter, we have a link to an Amazon.com listing for the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ninja Zord!

The Ninja Zord is, of course, an adaptation of the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger mecha by the name of Karakuri Warrior Fūraimaru. The differences between the two toys are, well, they’re large. Very large. And when the first images were shown earlier this year (and late last year), TokuNation forum members were overly not pleased with the changes. However, with these new official images, maybe a few minds can be changed and the opinions can sway a bit.

Check out all the images by clicking the title of the story.

So share your thoughts. Have they changed on the Super Megaforce Ninja Zord? Or do you still think it’s a weak offering from Bandai of America? Or do you not even care? Join in the discussion and sound off!

Thanks to raz for pointing out the other day the details of the upcoming Legacy Tigerzord and Legacy Saba Sword – but many continued to remain skeptical. Thanks to the power of the Internet, we have the actual listing available from PreviewsWorld.com. Check it out below.

Time for a double dose of legendary train hero power-ups from Ressha Sentai ToQger! And it’s also time for TokuNation to test drive it’s newest segment, Toy Tuesdays! Each week on Tuesdays (most of them anyway) we plan to bring you a new toy gallery. This week it just so happens to be a pair of new figures but we’re going to be digging into a back log of rare & vintage toys as well as this segment progresses. So stay tuned!

The recently released DX Kyoryuger & Den-Liner Resshas are featured in the Heisei Rider Vs. Show Raider: Kamen Rider Taisen Featuring Super Sentai film. But each are of course based on heroes of the past! One from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, the other from the first train themed hero series, Kamen Rider Den-O! Each is based on the central mecha of their respective series albeit in a miniaturized form. Combining Kyorguer Ressha with ToQ Oh results in ToQ Oh Kyoryuzin but when you add Den-Liner to the mix you get ToQ Oh Kyoryuzin featuring Den-Liner!

Check out our 40 image gallery for this pair of new Resshas after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

If you’ve been following our Tokyo Toy Show coverage a few weeks ago, Bandai  announced a Chogokin ToQoh with new elbows that allow for better articulation, the good news is that Premium Bandai  will be releasing these new elbows on their own in a new Super Sentai Artisan set which will be compatible with the DX toy. 

Also included is a rail themed display stand with light up LEDS, designed to link up either in a straight line or side by side to mimic the transformation scene in the show.

The exclusive set retails for 5,184 yen and will be shipping out in October.

Our Power Rangers Monday segment continues! Last week, we shared with you our Top 5 things that were not adapted from Super Sentai and got a lot of great responses. It’s always fun to take a look at the “what if”, as many fans who aren’t dedicated followers of Super Sentai had no idea about Gosei Green or the entire scenario revolving around Shinken Brown. Thanks for your feedback and for enjoying the article!

For this week’s topic, we put up a poll asking you to pick which topic we discussed today – and while the vote was close, the one that edged the others was the Top 5 Must Own Power Rangers Toys! This one was a little more challenging to write up because so many of the toys have Super Sentai counter-parts, leaving us to almost have to focus exclusively on the action figures as opposed to the Megazords. However, we did come up with a list that we feel is pretty awesome.

Before you read in to it – we didn’t include anything from the Legacy collection or from the S.H. Figuarts toy lines. Why? Because everyone knows that you MUST own those items. They are simply masterpiece quality figures and Megazords that every Power Rangers fan should own. That, honestly, left some slim pickings – we didn’t want to focus on the “rare” as we can do that in a future update (we’re looking at you Gold Lost Galaxy Megazord!). So take a seat, lean back, and fire up your browsers to find these must own Power Rangers toys! Please click “Read More” to begin your adventure!

Friend of the site Fury Diamond has been attending the Licensing Expo 2014 and sharing a ton of pictures and information with us regarding Power Rangers Dino Charge. He’s shared details of the promotional marketing video for Power Rangers Dino Charge, and you can find a detailed run-down of the video by clicking here. Some fans may be curious why the video isn’t being posted – it’s mostly because the Licensing Expo isn’t meant to be a press gathering. True, a lot of information about future products are revealed at the Licensing Expo, but certain details are not necessarily meant to be released to the mass public.

Either way – included in the video is a brief screen capture of some of the Power Rangers Dino Charge figures for 2015. We see the Dino Charge Megazord (yes, the triceratops looks purple and is supposed to be pink but at this time it’s hard to say if that’s painted purple or if it’s just the power of optical illusion), the Dino Charge Morpher, a Dino Charge battery accessory (NOTE: notice that it’s a Ranger instead of a dinosaur?), and what appears to be the Red Dino Charge Ranger in 5″ figure size and form. Interesting! Check out the picture below courtesy our friends from RangerCrew.com!

We know – the more you look the more purple you see. We’ll most likely get a much closer look at the Dino Charge Megazord at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.
