Tokunation.com user Crown Athlete swung by with some great news this morning, the Toys R Us Exclusive DX Shinken-Oh has been sighted! Photographic proof is attached. This DX release retails for $79.99. For those of you who have not seen this before, unlike the Zord Builder Samurai Megazord by Bandai Of America, the DX Shinken-Oh‘s individual zords can morph into emblem modes as well as their animal modes.

This is a straight up re-release of the original Bandai Japan Shinken Oh from the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger toyline! The only differences between this release and the original BOJ one is a cardboard sleeve around the box denoting it as a Power Rangers 20 product, and a brand new set of english instructions!

Happy hunting!

It’s no secret that Tokumei Sentai Gobusters is one of the lowest rated Sentai shows in the franchise, but just how badly did it do as a whole? As reported by Rising Sun Tokusatsou, the rating reports from the last two episodes are out and they aren’t good: with the last two episodes of the series receiving a 4.9% and 4.4% in viewers. That puts Gobusters as a whole at a viewership of approximately 4.0%!

But the downward trend continues into Kyoruger, with the first three episodes only scoring a 4.3%, 4.0%, and 3.2%.

Of course, Rising Sun’s usual source for these rating reports come from a different source, with their original source stomped out in a crackdown by Toei

These numbers may not be accurate but they seem to indicate that Super Sentai is in a downward slump, though weather or not this trend will continue for Kyoruger remains to be seen.

Initial news of Power Rangers Megaforce’s second season revealed that the team will be retaining the Goseiger costumes. Many believed the suits from Gokaiger won’t be used at all, but now it seems that it won’t be the case.

This little gem of a photo appeared on Rangercrew, posted on Instagram by a crew member. If you look closely at the photo, one of the stunt crew is wearing the boots belonging to none other then Gokai Green!

Could we be seeing the Gokaiger team as the rivals in the second season? Or perhaps they’ll be brought in as temp replacements Ala the Alien Rangers? Discuss in the thread after the jump!

Thanks to Tokunation member musicfighter for the heads up!
