The new Power Rangers movie is only two months away and that means it’s time for a new round of merchandise. Bandai America is here with their offerings for the film. First up is the largest megazord in Power Rangers toy history. Retailing at $19.99 for each individual zord ($39.99 for Jason’s tyrannosaurus) you can build the Movie Megazord. However, Toys “R” Us has an exclusive offer that packs in all five zords at a twenty dollar savings.

Also available is the basic line of five inch action figures. I review the Target exclusive, metallic five pack of the rangers along with Goldar and Alpha 5. Each figure clocks in $9.99 a pop and Goldar is free in the collector’s pack.

Finally, check out the movie exclusive Power Morpher for $29.99 complete with the five ranger coins. You first saw the Red Ranger coin in my review of the New York Comic Con exclusive Legacy version of the movie figure. Check out all of these Power Rangers movie-related reviews and much more at my YouTube channel Captain Subpar’s Toy Reviews. There you will find reviews for the Legacy line, Super Sentai reviews, and an assortment of other unboxing videos.

For the third straight installment, Power Morphicon – the biennial Power Rangers convention in Pasadena, California – has partnered with Bandai America to bring fans an exclusive figure. This time, it’s a black and gold version of the Dino Megazord that can be created by combining individual pieces packaged with each member of the Mighty Morphin’ team. Coming in at a price of $40, this limited to 500 figures item is a surefire rarity.

Speaking of the new legacy collection line of action figures, the first wave is currently hitting shelves across the country and it includes both the Red and Green Rangers from Mighty Morphin’ and all three Wind Rangers from Ninja Storm. Priced at $19.99, these figures have only been seen in Target as of the writing of this article but they should soon be available at all major retailers.

To hear my thoughts on both the PMC exclusive Dino Megazord and the three Ninja Storm figures, please follow this link to my YouTube channel: Captain Subpar’s Toy Reviews. While you’re there, you can also check out my many other reviews for recent Power Rangers and Super Sentai releases. In addition to that, I’m also counting down all of the Power Rangers seasons in a series of videos and so much more.

Written by Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller, directed by Dean Israelite, and produced by Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, Haim Saban, Brian Casentini and Allison Shearmur, this film is a development of Lionsgate and Saban Brands. It will be released in theaters on March 24, 2017.

The long-awaited prop that fans have been clamoring for years to get their hot little hands on has finally started to hit store shelves. The latest Toys”R”Us-exclusive legacy item is a replica of the classic communicator for all of your teleporting and Zordon-chatting needs. It comes in two versions: a regular version for the main five rangers and a special Tommy Oliver edition if you prefer the green and white motif. At the moment, only the latter version has been seen in stores. Retailing at $79.99 the item is wearable on adult wrists and contains many vintage Power Rangers phrases.

To hear my full and frank review of the toy along with other reviews of previously released legacy items, click here to visit my channel Captain Subpar’s Toy Reviews on YouTube. Check out reviews for both the Falconzord and Thunder Megazord along with my Super Sentai reviews and other musings.

Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger is the 40th anniversary installment in the Super Sentai franchise. Over on my Youtube channel – Captain Subpar’s Toy Reviews – I’ve been giving the mecha for the series a once over including my first impressions, thoughts on the overall designs for the series, and musings on what’s to come.

Every season needs a theme and this one is no different. All of the rangers’ mechas are animal-themed cubes that stack on one another in groups of three. The main robo is built from the Red (eagle), Blue (shark), and Yellow (lion) Ranger’s mecha with the Green (elephant) and White (tiger) Ranger’s mechas being interchangeable additions. A giraffe-themed bazooka is also available.

If you’re looking to learn more about the latest Super Sentai series then please head on over to my channel for all that and more. There you’ll also find reviews for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger toys, Power Rangers Legacy exclusives, and monthly Loot Crate/Loot Anime unboxing videos.

Power Pin Ups is a 2016 calendar featuring Pink and Yellow Rangers from several seasons of the franchise in cheesecake imagery evoking the artistic style of modeling posters from the 1930s and ’40s.  Featured are Erin Cahill (Jen from Power Rangers Time Force), Karan Ashley (Aisha from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), Catherine Sutherland (Kat from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), Deborah Philips (Katie from Power Rangers Time Force), Ciara Hanna (Gia from Power Rangers Megaforce), Nakia Burrise (Tanya from Power Rangers Zeo), Anna Hutchison (Lily from Power Rangers Jungle Fury), Alyson Kiperman Sullivan (Taylor from Power Rangers Wild Force), and Alison MacInnis (Dana from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue), Alyson and Alison being the visionaries of this idea along with the behind-the-scenes help of Steven Skyler (Antonio from Power Rangers Samurai) and Secret Sky Productions.

The 2016 Calendar Girls project was spearheaded by Wild Force Yellow Ranger, Alyson Kiperman who, through friend, Realm Aquino, contacted Time Force Pink Ranger, Erin Cahill, who then contacted the rest of the wonderful ladies who are officially the 2016 Calendar Girls! Together with Alison MacInnis and Steven Skyler of Secret Sky Productions and Power Pin Ups, the team made this calendar into a reality!

Power Pin Ups was a daydream of Alison M’s when Erin contacted her to discuss the calendar idea, and when the assembled group gathered to discuss themes, it just made sense for the calendar project to make its debut as a “pin up” project, thus why several of the girls have a true pin up vibe! It was joy to work with such amazing, talented and creative women, each one is so beautiful inside and out! Special thanks to Alden Dobbins, a key member of our team!

By visiting the official website, you can purchase the calendar shipping in mid-December for $55.  You can also add a signature from the actresses who posed at an additional $20 each, as well as complimentary images featuring Jason Faunt (Wes from Power Rangers Time Force) and Najee De-Tiege (Kevin from Power Rangers Samurai) for $40 each.

In 2012, Power Morphicon announced that the Legacy Power Morpher will be released in January/February 2013 at $50 (subject to change). The morpher will have lights and sounds and “will be made from many die cast metal parts. Die cast front cover, grip handle and five medals. [It] will be heavy!”

I’ll be buying 5.

Here’s the exclusive Power Morphicon toy from Bandai. At first I wasn’t going to buy it, but then as I was picking up on for a friend, I noticed that the Power Morphicon logo was on it. For those who don’t know, I designed the Power Morphicon logo. This is the first time a design of mine has been on an official product, so heck yeah I’m buying it. I can actually show this to mom!

As a Power Force member, we were treated to a breakfast during Power Morphicon and each received gift bags. The following pictures are the contents (and the bag itself).

Super Samurai tshirt in XL…for men. Guess I won’t be wearing this outside…

Super Samurai Red Ranger toy. It’ll go very well with the exclusive PMC toy!

Anyone want any stickers? I sure don’t.

Volumes 1 and 2 of Power Rangers Samurai on DVD. Nice!

Tshirt time! If you went to Power Morphicon, you’ll recognize the first two shirts right away. The Vortexx folks were giving away Lost Galaxy shirts…in XL…for men. Please make some lady shirts! The second is one of the Power Morphicon shirts. Pretty sweet.

The following two shirts are the best shirts ever. The first being awesome and the second being awesomer! And finally, these shirts are my size, so I can rock ‘em with pride!

Finally, here’s the swag I bought from Walter Jones. The first being a rare poster of him, Austin St. John, and Thuy Trang doing a promo shot for Cyber Force. Cyber Force was a movie that the three were going to work on but it didn’t pan out. At least they have pictures to prove it almost existed! The last picture is self-explanatory awesomeness. I, too, want to be a Dance Master and a Karate Master!

Matt Austin (Bridge from Power Rangers SPD) is raising funds to shoot his newest film One Day You Will Paint a Sunset. One of the ways he’s raising funds may be beneficial to you.

He’s currently auctioning off on eBay his SPD Red Ranger suit that he used on Operation Overdrive’s “Once a Ranger” teamup. It’ll be signed by Matt and Brandon Jay McLaren (Jack from Power Rangers SPD).

You have until Tuesday, June 28th, 2011 to own this rare item. Good luck!

Deluxe Mix & Morph Titanus Base ($32.99 SRP): The first toy on our list really demonstrates the polarization of the hardcore collectors. For those who don’t know, the Mix & Morph line is based around Bandai of America’s extremely popular Ben 10 alien creation line. It basically allows you to take small versions the individual arms, legs and torsos of your favorite rangers and zords to combine them in any way that you see fit. It’s perfect for letting your imagination run wild.

On the flip side, we have Titanus. MMPR was back in the day before every ranger team had dozens of zords. Titanus – much like the Dino Megazord – was a sacred cow not to be messed with. Now they’ve been combined. I see it as the best of both worlds. The Megazord can ride on Titanus just like he did nearly two decades ago and kids can continue to create their own ranger/zord hybrids. But this begs the question: where’s the Dragonzord? The first season of MMPR had three main zords. We have the first. The third is confirmed. But where is the second?

Mighty Morphin Cycle with Figure ($12.99 SRP): This has been a staple of every single Power Rangers line. What’s better than a Power Ranger? How about a Power Ranger riding a motorcycle? That’s like combining peanut butter and chocolate. Two great tastes taste great together. That being said, over the years this aspect of the line has been met with mixed results. Some bikes are from the actual show. Some are thrown together to just fill out the line. Fans continue to question the odd suit designs of the figures on the bikes.

Our first cycle figures of the year featured the male rangers riding amalgamated versions of the dinosaurs. In fact, BoA went so far to keep the “males only” rule in effect that the Green Ranger rode a yellow Sabertooth Tiger. They also had traditional cycles which could be combined as new arms and legs to the deluxe Dino Megazord. This new line features a ripcord gimmick that will allow the cycles to move on their own. They will also be able to combine with the Dino Megazord.

Mighty Morphin – Morphin Racer with Figure ($17.99 SRP): To understand this part of the line picture Transformers meets Power Rangers. BoA is taking the concept of allowing kids to create their own megazords to the next level. Instead of just attaching arms and legs made out of cycles to the Dino Megazord base these cars that feature decals can morph into their own megazord torso. Its mix & morph on a whole other level.

Other toys include the traditional action feature rangers that go for $9.99. This time around they shoot projectiles from their shoulders.

We also have the Power Rangers Air Attack Megazord retailing at $44.99 making it the most expensive toy thus far of the new MMPR line. That’s right. The megazord flies. I don’t care how much hardcore fanboys sandbag and pretend otherwise, that’s cool as heck.

Speaking of the hardcore fans, you may be asking what else is out there for you to anticipate? The list might not be as long as you’d hope for but what is there delivers. The basic figure line continues with the White Ranger and the core three male rangers decked out in the Green Ranger’s dragon shield. The Green Ranger himself gets a toy only upgrade that includes more gold and silver highlights. I’m getting a Magna Defender vibe from him myself.

The cutesy, two inch line also expands featuring the Red Ranger with the dragon shield, the White Ranger, the Dino Megazord and the Dragonzord in Battle Mode.

Another interesting toy is a replica of the original morpher that shoot both the original dino coins and oddly enough the ninja coins. Could this be a sign of how deep BoA is planned to go into its MMPR catalog?

That’s all we have for now. I wouldn’t expect this to be the depth of the MMPR line for the entire fall. Typically, there is a moderate release of toys between the initial spring releases and the second big wave in the fall. I expect many of the above toys to hit in the next few months. From the wacky and the weird to the mainstays and collectibles, Bandai of America’s Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers has it all…

…including Jason and Tommy as cellphones.

This is not the first time the duo have had a board game published. Love it or Hate it was released by Tyco in 1995. To learn more about Liebrary, click here.

And for once, can TV pros get basic, Wikipediable information correct? Power Rangers ran from 1993-2009. Not to 1995. Not. hard. to. look. up.
