under Super Sentai

You thought it was over? Guess again! Premium Bandai[/URL] has revealed a new Ranger key set, featuring the 37th Super Sentai, Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!

The set includes the 10 main Kyoryugers, as well as the male KyoryuViolet Key and KyoryuRed Carnival’s key. The keys will not have a sound in the Mobirates, but there will be special “key slots” (like those on the GokaiGun and GokaiSabre) that will be able to make sounds, but with Shigeru Chiba’s voice. Another key and key slot will also be in the set, but both have been labeled as secret for now.

Pre-orders are up now, ending December 2013 with an estimated time of release of March 2014, for the price of 16,200 Yen. If you like collecting keys and bravery, it’s time to go wild!

–Also, at the bottom, a teaser of the Deboss Symbol is shown. Deboss Keys, anyone?

under TokuNation Site Updates

Thanks for sticking with us as we began the first phase of our site’s relaunch. To prepare for a brand new look and feel to TokuNation.com, we spent some time looking in to making some changes on the forums to better streamline our discussions and to make things easier for all the tokusatsu fans out there that come and talk about it here at the site.

Here’s a quick cheat-sheet on what’s changed.

– Power Rangers Discussion replaces “Power Rangers Megaforce”. All of your Power Rangers discussion now happens in one forum, instead of being spread out over two.
– Kamen Rider Discussion replaces “Kamen Rider Gaim”. All of your Kamen Rider discussion now happens in one forum, instead of being spread out over two.
– Super Sentai Discussion replaces “Jyuden Sentai Kyoryuger”. All of your Super Sentai discussion now happens in one forum, instead of being spread out over two.
– American Toku has been merged with Other Toku Series Discussion. All tokusatsu series discussion that is not one of the “big three” will take place in this forum.
– Other forums have had slight name changes and many have had description changes.

Phase two of our site relaunch will happen sooner than you think. For those who are not aware, we are planning a site relaunch within the next couple of weeks barring any unforeseen complications. We will have an all new front page, a brand new logo, and add another color or two in to our overall color scheme. We also plan to launch a new forum within our message board and add some new, exciting features for you to interact with the site.

Be sure to ”Like” us on Facebook and to follow us @TokuNation on Twitter to see some sneak peaks of our relaunch, and more.

Any questions, comments, or concerns please sound off in this discussion thread. Thanks guys – we’re excited for what we have in store for you and we hope you’ll enjoy it!

under Power Rangers

Jason David Frank revealed on his Facebook fan pages that he is “Working on the green ranger movie trailer with Bat in The Sun!! Wait till you see it!!
JDF”

Is this the reason why Jason has refused to be a part of the MMPR Fan film? What sort of deals did he reach with Saban?  Stay tuned for more news as it develops.

Happy (almost) Halloween! The holiday of haunts and horrors might be tomorrow, but the Undead are here today because it’s time for another Let’s Watch Wednesdays @ Tokunation! Last time on Kamen Rider Blade…..

Spoiler:
Sayoko is dead
. Garren’s vengeance was swift, and Isaka is no more. With his absence, all those Isaka controlled are now free, including the Cheif! But what path will Tachibana walk now? Meanwhile the Dragonfly Undead plots against Hajime, and his loved ones, and Kenzaki can’t possibly understand him. But where does that leave the Leangle Buckle in all of this?

Don’t forget that Tokunation is giving away an S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade as well as second secret prize as a part of this LWW segement! Anything you do between now and the end of Let’s Watch could count as an entry, who knows what you may need to do to win ;) So as always be sure to join in on our weekly Blade discussion thread posted HERE.[/URL]
