A quick heads up for those of you who seek out and collect the harder to find items. A set of the Ranger Keys from the Morphin Madness contest of 2014 is available on ebay. This set of five Ranger Keys (Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, Mighty Morphin White Ranger, Turbo Phantom Ranger, Lightspeed Rescue Titanium Ranger, Time Force Pink Ranger) was voted in an online poll/contest by the fans and the winning set was given to 5 lucky winners – meaning this is 1 of 5 in existence.

Don’t miss your chance on grabbing this rare item but heads up – make sure your wallet is deep because the price is already quite high. Click here to check out the ebay listing!

After plenty of speculation the next Ranger Set from Premium Bandai has finally been revealed! Despite promotional images to the contrary this set will not include any Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger keys. However, the Gokaiger Ranger Key Set 200th Edition will include the following:

Akaninger (Takaharu)
Akaninger (Tsumuji)
Akaninger (Yoshitaka)
Dark Akaninger
Aoninger
Kininger
Momoninger
Shironinger
Midoninger
Kyoryu Pink
ToQ 4

You may be wondering about a couple of these. The Kyoryu Pink & ToQ 4 keys included are stated to be repacks from the previous Premium sets they were a part of. Obviously to coincide with their use by the Gokaigers in the Zyuohger team up. Aoninger is prominently pictured with those two as well, but is a no brainer as a part of this set. the curious exclusion is a Yellow Buster Key. If repacks were on the table, why not included that one?

In either case the Gokaiger Ranger Key Set 200th Edition will be sold as usual as a Premium Bandai Exclusive. Orders open tomorrow, 9/12/16, with a release date for this set in February 2017. Retail price for this key set is 16,200 yen. Be sure to vist your preferred middleman or service today to secure an order!

Another month has come & gone and so we have a number of toy galleries and in depth reviews by our Photo & Content staff to round-up once again! Though all the products we reviewed this past month were released in the last 3 or 4 years, the content they covered spanned decades. A selection of Ranger Keys took us down the path of Metal Heroes from 1982 all the way to 2012, the Legacy line gave us a one-two punch throwback to 1994 & 1995, and we caught up with some much needed gallery 2.0’s a recent and often overlooked sentai.

As always you’ll find below links to this months gallery/reviews. We look forward to bringing you even more content this month!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Legacy Thunder Megazord
Legacy Black Megazord
Legacy Falconzord

Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger
DX ZyuOh King & Cube Kirin

Metal Heroes
Ranger Key Set Metal Hero Edition

Gokai Change!

It’s the gimmick that just won’t ever fade away, Ranger Keys! Today we’re taking a look at just the latest set from Premium Bandai released in this 5 year old line of collectible trinkets. Today’s subject is the Ranger Key Set Metal Hero Edition!

This incredible new set seeks to fill out some long standing gaps in Ranger Key collection, following up on a Ranger Key set released 3 years ago to coincide with Super Hero Taisen Z. That set introduced 6 Metal Heroes into the line with Jiraya, Jiban, Draft Redder, Janperson, Blue Beet, & B-Fighter Kabuto. The Metal Hero Edition adds another 10 Metal Heroes to the line up with:

Gavan (Uchuu Keiji Gavan-1982)
Sharivan (Uchuu Keiji Sharivan-1983)
Shaider (Uchuu Keiji Shaider-1984)
Juspion (Kyoju Tokusou Juspion-1985)
Spielban (Jikuu Senshi Spielban-1986)
Metalder (Chojinki Metalder-1987)
Fire (Tokkei Winspector-1990)
Sol Braver (Tokkyu Shirei Solbrain-1991)
SWAT Sho (Blue SWAT-1994)
Gavan Type G (Uchuu Keiji Gavan The Movie-2012)

While that does indeed fill in most of the gaps for collectors, there’s still a few left that may irk some (mostly me). For now enjoy over 75 images of the Ranger Key Metal Hero Edition along with group shots comparing this set to the Ranger Key Complete Edition released for Super Hero Taisen Z.

The brand new Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ranger Keys have been found at retail at Toys’R’Us. It doesn’t appear that the entire listings from earlier (check the discussion thread linked to this news post for all the new keys) have been released, but they’re beginning to trickle out. They were picked up by @davidjscalea on Instagram.

Happy hunting! Be sure to post your findings in our Sightings Forum, which is broken up by state. Help keep your fellow collectors happy!

Yesterday, images of brand new Ranger Keys were unearthed by our friends at RangerCrew.com. This follows up with statements from Bandai America at this year’s Toy Fair stating that they would find out what was going on with the remaining Ranger Keys upon returning to their offices after the event. Some of these are really exciting to see – especially a certain American-Made Power Ranger yet to see retail outside of a convention exclusive release!  These new Ranger Key sets are as follows:

For many fans this will come as a big breath of relief as we will finally have many, many teams completed. However, we would like to point out that there are still a few Ranger Keys missing. The list below details all the remaining Power Rangers that have appeared on screen, despite how little air time they may have received.  Except for Boom.  Because come on, that was a dream sequence!

Missing Ranger Keys

  • Jungle Fury Elephant Ranger (US Ranger)
  • Jungle Fury Shark Ranger (US Ranger)
  • Jungle Fury Bat Ranger (US Ranger)
  • SPD Nova Ranger (finale)
  • SPD Kat Ranger (one episode)
  • Female Red Samurai Ranger (major story line of the entire show)
  • RPM Gold & Silver Ranger (split down the middle, appeared in Super Megaforce as an actual key)
  • Turbo Yellow Ranger

We have reached out to our contacts at Bandai America in hopes of getting more details on the authenticity of these (although we assume they are legit) images, as well as a possible release date and the status of the keys that would be missing listed above. Stay tuned!

under Conventions, Power Rangers, Toy Fair

We reached out to Bandai America to get a couple more clarifications or questions answered for everyone after our initial trip through the showroom. The questions (and answers) are below!

What do the new Legacy figures come with?

With the main core of the teams, it will be a Build-a-Figure type of system where each figure will come with a different piece to build a bigger figure. For the first assortment, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures will come with pieces to build a Megazord figure. Whether or not they will come with individual weapons has not been finalized yet. Sixth Rangers, such as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger figure, will come with accessories instead of a “Build-a-Figure” piece.

What is the exact size of these new Legacy figures?

The Power Rangers themselves will be 6.5″ in scale, and the figure they create will be 7.5″ in scale. They will retail for roughly $20.

The fans still want to know – are we going to get a Poisandra figure?

There is no update for a Poisandra (or Keeper) figure at this time.

At New York Comic Con it was stated that Bandai America was working to get the remaining Ranger Keys released. Nothing is displayed at Toy Fair. What is the status of those remaining keys – are they coming out, or are they cancelled?

The product manager who is in charge of Ranger Keys did not make the trip to Toy Fair so unfortunately their final status is unknown as of this posting. If we get the answer later on we will be sure to update.

If we get any more updates, we will post them up for everyone.  We did ask about a possible Talon Ranger figure, but that question was skipped by Bandai America.
