At RoboToyFest in Pasadena, California some lucky folks were finally able to get some hands on experience with the Legacy Dragon Dagger! Here you can see some images of the completed box, a size comparison with the vintage Japanese dagger and a shot of a lucky fan weilding the dagger, finally showing us just how big this thing will be in hand.

Finally my friend Kim Chi Williams, the awesome person who took these images, took a video of the sound effects the dagger makes, which you can view by clicking this link:

If you remember, our own administrator Sentai Tamashii was able to sit down and interview the folks with Bandai of America at this year’s NYCC. If you haven’t read the TWO interviews we got to do, you can find them here:

Click here for the follow-up interview!

Friend to the site, board member, and Internet Personality Vangelus, also sat down with Greg Mitchell (marketing) from Bandai of America and talked about Power Rangers and other Bandai properties. In the interview, they “hypothetically” discuss the “third part of the original Megazord that combined with all three” and that they’re “looking in to it”. That would be Titanus the carrier-zord, who when combined with the Megazord and Dragonzord became the Ultrazord.

Check out Vangelus‘ interview with Bandai of America below!

Once again our very own administrator Sentai Tamashii has sat down with Bandai Of America reps to discuss the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce toyline!

Super Megaforce Ranger figures
will be divided into 4″ and 5″ categories. 4″ figures will feature less articulation and paint apps compared to the 5″ figures.

Legendary Zords and Vehicles
All additional vehicles/zords that can combine with the Legendary Megazord will come with a Ranger Key specific to the series the vehicle represents. The other vehicles shown to be able to combine with the Legendary Megazord on display will have uniform names. “Insert series name” Cycle. So for the bikes on display currently they’d be the Lightspeed Rescue Cycle and the Time Force Cycle. The Zeo vehicle seen on display is called the Red Battlezord Car. And the 2 additional robots seen on display in front of the Legendary Megazord are called Exozords and can accommodate Ranger figures to pilot them.

Ranger Keys
will initially be sold with other toys in the line. They will later be sold in a 3-Pack format but there are currently NO PLANS to offer the keys in full ranger team sets. Additionally the flip gimmick is not activated by any sort of button at all. You push the edge of the key and it flips automatically. The Wild Force Red Lion Zord also features a ranger key gimmick. One can be inserted behind it’s head but there are no electronics present for it to activate. Only an action feature.

And this rounds out our last interview with BOA at NYCC 2013! On behalf of the entire community we’d like to thank them for sitting down to take the time to have a discussion with Sentai Tamashii! They were kind enough to take a look at our little operation here and have expressed an interest in working with us in the future to promote even better Power Rangers products! We’re happy to help in any way we can!

Our administrator Sentai Tamashii sat down with Brehan Maul of Bandai of America who was kind enough to answer a variety of questions that we submitted from you, our users. So let’s dive straight in to them, shall we?

Regarding the Legendary Morpher[/u]
For starters – yes, the Legendary Morpher does open and close clam-shell like, just like the show. Also, the keypad is fully functional. Each Ranger Key is unique, and will unlock a unique sound when used. Also, when you turn certain keys in immediate sequence (example: Super Megaforce Red, then Blue, then Green, then Yellow, then Pink) you will unlock a special sound. There will be many special combinations that will be leaked after release. It was not stated outright, but it was implied that the Legendary Morpher has a larger sound-bank than the Gokaiger Mobirate.

Regarding Ranger Keys[/u]
While they couldn’t come right out and say if we would be getting a Ranger Key of any of the exclusive Power Rangers (Titanium, Elephant, Shark, Bat), it was stated that yes, Super Megaforce will have USA exclusive Ranger Keys that Japan did not get. Again, each key is unique and will unlock a special sound in the Legendary Morpher. Also, each key has a graphic that you can scan with an upcoming app that will then unlock that Power Ranger in the app.

Regarding Legacy items for Collectors[/u]
For starters, if you thought the Legacy Dragon Dagger looked impressive, check out this fact – the sample is all plastic! The final release will not be all plastic, though they did state that for safety reasons, the blade of the dagger will NOT be diecast metal. And for those wondering – the Legacy Dragon Dagger and Legacy Dragonzord are NOT the final Legacy items. There are more planned. Bandai of America would like to move on to series other than Mighty Morphin but nothing is planned at this time. So the future Legacy items will continue to be Mighty Morphin themed.

Regarding the Power Rangers Action Card Game[/u]
The Power Rangers ACG will continue through Super Megaforce.

Again, a huge thank you to Brehan Maul from Bandai of America for taking the time to not only answer our questions, but to GET answers he didn’t have, as well as putting up with some of Sentai Tamashii’s technical difficulties. We will have a video of this interview after the convention is over.

So what do you think? We will do a quick run-by follow up on Sunday, so if we missed anything dire (they can’t always comment on things because marketing is different than development and some things aren’t finalized) please feel free to post it here.

Exciting year ahead of us!

TokuNation.com revealed to everyone yesterday via our coverage at NYCC 2013 that the previously SDCC exclusive Gold Legacy Morpher would be available for order at Toys’R’Us.

That pre-order is now live.

Click here to pre-order your Gold Legacy Morpher!

This morpher is different than the SDCC exclusive morpher as the gold is not gold plated as it is more of a flat gold color. Also, the coins are not plated in gold and instead are weathered like the standard Legacy Morpher coins.

Are you ordering yours? The release date is slated at 01/28/2014.

Thanks to raz and Fury Diamond for the heads up!!

Easily the biggest surprise of the convention this year at NYCC 2013 is the reveal of the actual toys of the Legacy Dragonzord and the Legacy Dragon Dagger.

So here’s a ton of images of both (30 to be exact), in high-resolution and zoomed in up close and personal.

Please enjoy. Thanks to our crew at NYCC 2013 for all the amazing work they do.

Have you wondered what the recently announced MMPR Legacy Dragonzord & Legacy Dragon Dagger would look like? Well speculate no longer! Thanks to our other man on the inside of NYCC 2013, Sentai Tamashii, we have our very first look at both of these highly anticipated releases!!

Stay tuned for more and better pics of all the new reveals at NYCC 2013 from the Tokunation.com news team!

under New York Comic Con

The news team at NYCC 2013 is reporting in and our first look from the show floor is MASSIVE! Currently on display at Bandia America’s Power Rangers display:

– Legendary Morpher & Ranger Key Assortments
– 4″ & 6″ Classic and Megaforce Ranger figures
– Legacy Dragonzord in box
– Jumbo Sized Legacy Megazord
– Legacy Dragon Dagger!
– Super Megaforce Ranger Gear and Weapons
– Legacy Mask Collection
– Legacy Morpher
– Several DX megazord components are also on display including US versions of Gaolion and Patstriker! It would also appear that Bandai is creating more vehciles which homage other Ranger seasons to upgrade the legendary megazord. Notice the Super Megaforce Red riding a Red Zeo Battlezord vehicle?

And perhaps the biggest news so far. The SDCC 2013 Gold Legacy Morpher exclusive, featuring both Green & White Ranger Power Coins, will be available at Toys R Us!!
