As you may recall at SDCC 2013, we got our first look at the prototype Ranger Keys for the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce! Our good friend Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com took some extra time to take some amazing images of each of the Ranger Keys!

You gotta check these out because they’re pretty awesome!

Special thanks to Fury Diamond for reminding me of this story, and for letting me use the Ranger Key of the best Power Ranger ever in the news story!

Tamashii’s main page has put up a preview set of Ranger Keys from Hikonen Sentai Akibaranger!

This set of five will not work in standard Mobirates but will complete the hole in various Key collections. :)

Akibaranger Keys will cost 5250 Yen and will be available in December

Thanks to member DrillBit for the heads-up!

Once again, photos from Instagram will give us previews of what’s upcoming for Super Megaforce, though sadly the original source has been deleted.

This time, it’s not a rumor or anything speculative, but rather a look at the card backings for the upcoming toy line.The packaging also confirms that the ranger keys will indeed be part Super Megaforce’s gimmick.

Set for release in December, Bandai has just announced a special Metal Hero Ranger Key Complete Edition Set! This set features the 6 Metal Hero keys used by the Gokaigers in Super Hero Taisen Z for the Metal Hero Gokai Galleon Buster attack. Featured in this set are:

– Janperson from Tokuso Robo Janperson
– Jiraiya from Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya
– Jiban from Mobile Cop Jiban
– DraftRedder from Special Rescue Exceedraft
– BlueBeet from Juukou B-Fighter
– Kabuto from B-Fighter Kabuto

However that’s not all! As a part of this set 2 more mystery keys will be released! One from Kakuranger and one from Abaranger. The most likely guess for each is Ninjaman for Kakuranger since he never had a ranger key before and possibly Abare Pink since her key was featured briefly in an episode of Gokaiger. The price for this set is 10,500 yen, so Ranger Key Completionists get ready!

Earlier this year, we posted a picture featuring Gavan Type-G standing amongst his fellow Metal Heroes- Janperson, Jiraiya, Jiban, SyncRedder, B-Fighter’s Blue Beet and Kabuto. Well, new scans shown reveal that they may not be the actual Metal Heroes after all…but the Gokaigers transformed into them using the Metal Hero Ranger Keys!

Does this mean we may get another Movie Ranger Key release like the OOO Key Set during the run of Super Hero Taisen last year? Only time will tell!

Pirate Sentai Gokaiger will be premiering in Hong Kong soon, dubbed in Cantonese.

The toy line will also be release at retail stores like ToysRUs, and the first promo vid has been found on Youtube. This is marvelous news for collectors and fans that may have missed out on Gokaiger’s toy line!

As fans go forward with collecting, there is a progressive amount of stuff found to collect. Perhaps you wanted to go beyond mass produced toys, and wanted to buy prototypes? Luckily for us, in this day and age, prototypes/testshots and what have you, are usually readily available for auction on the internet. While some may refrain from buying these, these auctions at least give us images of toys before production. Sometimes these toys change by final production, sometimes they just aren’t produced at all due to cancellation. With that said, sometimes online auctions are our only glimpses at “what could have been”.

So on this rainy day lets take a look at some select Power Rangers prototypes on ebay:

As alluded to before, maybe you don’t want to buy these, but just want to see how these toys were before final production? If that’s the case, we’ve mirrored the images from the aforementioned auctions. Note: most of the links are to private auctions. Sellers include gmlenterprises, lawijki & mj_var.

Even after Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger finished airing it seemed that the release of ranger keys would continue with the Legend sets. However after a few months of no further news, it seems Bandai might be rounding things off with a Tamashii web exclusive Ranger Legend Edition keyset that contains a total of 30 keys!

The keys included in the set are as follows;
Goggle-V: Goggle Blue, Black, Pink and Yellow
Maskman: Yellow Mask, Black Mask and Pink Mask
Turboranger: Blue Turbo, Black Turbo, Yellow Turbo and Pink Turbo
Dairanger: Shishi Ranger, Tenma Ranger, Qilin Ranger and Houou Ranger
Ohranger: Oh Blue, Oh Yellow and Oh Pink
Megaranger: Mega Blue, Mega Black, Mega Yellow and Mega Pink
Gingaman: Ginga Blue, Ginga Green, Ginga Yellow and Ginga Pink
GoGo Five: Go Blue, Go Green, Go Yellow and Go Pink

This, along with the release of Gashapon Key sets 04 and 05 in December/January will mean that all 199 ranger keys will have been released in one way or another.

The set is priced at 9765 yen and is due for release in March 2013.
