“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!

“Unleash the Beast!”

Was it chance or fate that Devon Daniels just happened to sneak into Grid Battleforce headquarters on the day that the villainous Evox infiltrated it? Planning to turn the soon to be Power Rangers into his avatar puppets, Evox struck and succeeded with two potential heroes. But thanks to Devon, Ravi, & Zoey, Evox hasn’t won yet. To stop the avatars Blaze & Roxy the latest generation of teenagers with attitude harness the power of Morph X to become the Power Rangers!

The Beast Morphers toyline has officially kicked off in Canada and the US! Meaning collector’s all over are beginning to see these toys in the wild for the first time. Some of the first products being spotted at most retail stores are the 6″ Basic Figure Wave 1 assortment. The Red Ranger from this assortment kicks the line off really nicely and sets the bar a lot higher than any ranger figure’s from Bandai America ever did at this price point. The new 6″ scale is a welcome change to most, there’s better articulation than what we used to get, no more steroid muscle proportions and these figure’s actually come with multiple accessories! Like the Beast X Saber, Cheetah Beast Blaster, and a Morph X Key! 

We’ve assembled over 65 images of the 6″ Basic Red Ranger in this gallery. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our full review thread. Our next Beast Morphers gallery will feature none other than Cyber Villain Blaze!

under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

The upcoming release of the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer from Denji Sentai Megaranger, better known as Power Rangers In Space for those of us who grew up with the Power Rangers, was originally scheduled to release in December of 2018. Unfortunately, due to what Bandai is calling a “production delay”, the item has been delayed with no current timetable for release.

It should be noted that the previous Super Sentai Artisan releases – specifically the SP License from Dekaranger and before that the Aura Changer from Dairanger – have suffered from quality control issues resulting in entire production run replacements.

The Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer had recently had payment requests go out. This is the first time an item this close to release has been delayed.

In either an attempt to cash-in at the end of their master toy license deal or cleaning out magical mythological warehouses, Bandai America has listed through EntertainmentEarth.com a massive influx of older Legacy Power Rangers items with a December 2018 release date. This will be your last chance to own these classic and someday vintage items before Hasbro begins full production of product for the Power Rangers brand. Check out the listings below.

– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Power Morpher
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Green Ranger / White Ranger Morpher
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Dragonzord
– Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Thunder Megazord

Ironically (or not), all these items were originally exclusive to Toys’R’Us and later made available through online retailers in secondary releases or post initial wave releases. However, if you missed one (looking at you, Saba) now is your chance to grab one before you can only ever pay aftermarket.

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!
