under Kamen Rider, TokuNation Spotlights

Hey TokuNation.com members!

As you know, we started a tradition last year with our Let’s Watch Wednesdays segment, where every week on Wednesdays we’d discuss two, sometimes three previous Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and/or Power Rangers series in segments of episodes. This has proven to be a big hit, as it seems every site now has it’s own Let’s Watch segment!

This time we want YOU to decide what the site should watch for the month of February! Aside from the premiere of Kyoryuger and the on-going Kamen Rider Wizard, there’s a plethora of old series from Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and 20 years worth of Power Rangers to pick from.

Click “Discuss” and nominate the series that YOU want to watch! Once we’ve gathered enough nominations, we’ll open it up to polling … and once that’s said and done, you will have decided our next Let’s Watch Wednesday show. We’re only doing one show this time (because I think the whole tokusatsu community is itching for Kyoryuger), so think long, hard, and then nominate the series you want to watch!

Let’s Watch Wednesday will return in full force in February, with the show YOU voted on!

Bandai’s Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom in Akihabara has added the forthcoming web exclusive SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Fourze Meteor Nadeshiko Fusion States to its display! Though only one image has surfaced, it gives us a head-on look at this new Kamen Rider Fourze form.

Kamen Rider Fourze Meteor Nasheshiko Fusion States will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in July, priced at 4200 yen.

Don’t know where to get your Tamashii Exclusives from? Stop on in with Tokunations’ resident middleman, Sentai Tamashii, and his Middleman Service Thread to secure your orders for this figure or any other upcoming exclusives!

under Power Rangers

A new listing turned up very recently at BigBadToyStore for Bandai Of America‘s Power Rangers Megaforce line. While we have seen Power Rangers Build & Morph sets for the samurai emblems/rangers from Power Rangers Samurai, the new listing is for none other than a Power Rangers Build & Morph Gosei Great Megazord! Price is $18.99 and expected to be released this quarter. More info:

The Power Rangers Build and Morph Set is the perfect way to connect, morph, and play with your own Zords and Megazord. Connect all the pieces to build the Gosei Great Megazord. The fun begins by creating the 5 Rangers’ Zords and then combining them to create the Power Rangers’ Megazord. This set is packed with cool features to keep the fun never ending!

It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out. Stay tuned!

Thanks to a helpful youtube uploader we can now watch in full the Uchuu Keiji Gavan Televi-Kun Special DVD! Included with a recent issue of Televi-Kun, this DVD follows Gavan on an adventure with Sherry against the forces of the new Makuu Space Crime Syndicate!

The video itself was used as a promotional push to get fans revved up for the new Gavan movie and introduce them to Gavan Type G, Geki Jumonji! Uchuu Keiji Gavan The Movie itself premiered in October 2012 but it’ll be several more months before subs of it reach the internet. Luckily the raw of this special DVD has been made available to tide us over until then! Expect subs of this Special DVD soon from your usual favorite fansub groups!

At the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai live event held in Toyko earlier today, it was finally confirmed the Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger will indeed be returning for a second season! At this current point in time there’s no further news other than the initial confirmation, however fans have been told to keep an eye on the official Akibaranger website for future updates.

under Power Rangers

The Mega Bloks Blog has posted an article showcasing the new Mega Bloks Power Rangers Megaforce Mini-figure Style. While it lacks elbow and knee joints, it does feature new ball jointed ankles. Here’s what they had to say:

In addition to both the arms and legs using ball joints, we’ve added articulation to the ankles! This makes the figure easy to manipulate even while it’s attached to block pegs, and adds a surprising amount of posing diversity. Check out some more poses we did:

Thanks to Tokunation boards member WuLongTi for the heads up! We have mirrored the new images, read on to check out the new figure style!
