In a pretty odd turn of events, South Korea is set to see it’s third out with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger in 2020! This news comes straight from Yong San Power Rangers event, which you can see a video of HERE from youtube channel [림호]Tokusatsu. Gaoranger, like many sentai, has a bit of an odd history in South Korea. Super Sentai had been imported to the country since 1989 with Flashman. However in 1994, the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was imported and dubbed in Korean as “Invincible Power Rangers”.

The trend of Power Rangers being imported and dubbed continued until 2003 when Power Rangers Wild Force was brought in as “Power Force Rangers”. After this point Super Sentai was directly imported and dubbed again. Jump to 2010 and Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger was at last imported in it’s original form and dubbed over as “Power Rangers Jungle Force”, in lieu of airing Shinkenger, which at the time was seen as too Japanese for the Korean market. Now, it looks as though South Korea will once again be seeing Gaoranger next year in it’s Jungle Force dub, set to stream on the Korean Power Rangers youtube channel!

But that isn’t all. This time the full line of DX toys appears to be set for a re-release! This is huge news for fans of Gaoranger (like yours truly here) and is an opportunity for many collectors to have their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th chance to collect the Power Animal molds. If you’ve been at all interested in them over the years, don’t sleep on this opportunity to finally own the entire lineup. Specific release details for these re-issues isn’t currently known, but as soon as it is we’ll update this article.

“Pterodactyl!

Like any teenager, Kimberly Hart used to be concerned with trivial things. But when an inter-dimensional being summoned her and her friends to defend the Earth from a recently freed ancient sorceress, that went out the window. Pterodactyl power coin in hand, Kimblery morphs into the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger! Kim fought the forces of evil for years until she found a worthy successor to her power. But her legacy still lives on in the generations of rangers who have come since. This morphinominal heroine at last joins (most of) her teammates in the Power Rangers Lightning Collection!

The Pink Ranger is the first new Mighty Morphin ranger mold we’ve gotten in the line so far. Previously we’ve seen 3 outings of the male MMPR body type with Dragon Shield parts and recently even the more basic Red Ranger release. So Pink Ranger really is refreshing to see for a change of pace. With some new design choices and articulation cuts, it’s a bit different affair to the boys, in a good way. Armed with the Blade Blaster, Power Bow, and two different arrows, the Pink Ranger is ready to take out the Putties in your collection!

We’ve got a full 60 image gallery after the jump, as well as our review of the Lightning Collection Pink Ranger.

In case you missed it; the trailer for Toei’s upcoming movie Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation dropped just a week prior. Fans were delighted at the reveal of Kamen Rider Ichigata, a walking homage to the granddaddy himself: Kamen Rider Ichigou.

Since his reveal last week, a pre-order page for his transformation belt: The CycloneRiser’s just went up on P-Bandai’s website.

Pre-Orders for the DX CycloneRiser will begin December 2nd 2019 and will close January 23rd 2020. The belt will then be shipped out by March 2020 with a retail price tag of 6,50 yen. Also included in the package will be the Rocking Hopper Progrise Key.

Kamen Ride! Wow! Decade! Decade! Decaaaaaade!

With Tsukasa Kadoya’s arrival, the world is always in danger. The Destroyer of Worlds has witnessed or instigated the destruction of many, for better or worse. And allying himself with the Time Jackers raises many questions. But entrusting his power to Sougo, raises even more. Decade Ridewatch in hand, Zi-O will don the Decade Armor to face both Kamen Rider Decade, as well as Ohma Zi-O! Will the power of the 10th Heisei Rider be enough, or will Sougo have to take some of the power of Ohma for his own, just to survive?

Joining the Zi-O line up of S.H. Figuarts, Decade Armor gives us our 4th Sougo in the line. And although I’ve yet to handle Zi-O II, each is just unique enough from the last to give it a slightly different feel and personality. While much of this mold is engineered similarly to previous outings, this one is more or less all new. Armed with the Ride Heisaber, this powered up form may make a great addition to your Zi-O collection.

Amazon Canada has put up several listings for the next wave of Power Rangers Beast Morphers action figures!

This wave will feature a new upgrade form for the Beast Morphers Rangers- a transformation known as Beast X Mode (which Super Sentai fans will recognize as Powered Custom forms).

The Beast X Mode is apparently linked to a new device called the Beast X King Morpher: a lion-based device that also brings new weapons for the Rangers.

Rounding out the lineup is an upgrade form for the Cybervillain Blaze now in a new golden body labeled Robo-Blaze by the packaging.

Definitely some exciting new things coming for Beast Morphers! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Rangers reveals.

The final round of scans for the 43rd Super Sentai series Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger has appeared online!

In a desperate bid to curtail the attacks of the Druidon Tribe, the RyuSoulgers must visit the original RyuSoul Temple- the source of their tribes’ legendary abilities. Within the temple lies the most powerful weapon RyuSoul Tribe ever created- the legendary blade RyuSoul Caliber!

Both RyuSoul Red and RyuSoul Gold are chosen as worthy by the spirits of the Temple- and with the power of RyuSoul Caliber awakened they obtain new forms! The Noblesse RyuSoul Red & Gold transformation activates heavy armor and capes for both RyuSoulgers along with RyuSoul Calibers’ signature attack- the Extreme DinoSlash.
