When the going gets rough, the rough get going with a giant mech suit based off a watermelon! In the Kamen Rider Gaim show, Kamen Rider Gaim uses the power of the Watermelon Lock Seed to unlock the Watermelon Arms, a giant fruit that transforms in to a giant mech for Gaim to operate!

TokuNation.com contributor baltmatrix received the DX Watermelon Arms figure and took a series of photographs showcasing not only the size of this toy, but just how cool it is!

Recent scans surfacing on 2chan[/URL] have showcased a few previously unrevealed Kamen Rider Gaim DX toys, as well as what appears to be his Gaim’s speculated upgraded form. A silhouette can be seen in the background of the first image which appears close to the same possible alternate Gaim form we may or may not have seen in the shows opening[/URL] back in October.

Also seen are the E.L.S 01 Kachidoki Energy Lock Seed which allows Gaim to obtain this new form. And we get a first look at the new DJ Gun weapon. These items are both scheduled for release in March at 2000 yen for the Seed and 5500 yen for the DJ Gun.

Ranger Key, set!

Our tribute to Power Rangers Megaforce & Super Megaforce continues with another DX gallery from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger! Using the ranger keys of Mahou Sentai Magiranger in Gokai Oh summons the Grand Power of Magiranger, Magi Dragon!

DX Magi Dragon is of course based on Magiking’s Magi Dragon form. Though considerably smaller than the original it’s still a fun little DX figure. It breaks down into 5 components to be stored within Gokai Oh until the dial gimmick is activated. When spun, the dial hits sequential triggers in each of Gokai Oh’s limbs that unlock the doors allowing the spring loaded parts to push them open and “transform” into place. When combined with Magi Dragon it’s referred to as Magi Gokai Oh! Here’s a quick review of the dial feature:

The always awesome Raz has gotten his hands on one of the first additional zords to be released in the Power Rangers Super Megaforce toyline, the Wild Force Red Lion Zord!

Based on the Gokai Machine Gao Lion from Gokaiger the Red Lion takes a few liberties with the design but makes full use of the zord builder system to create some interesting combos. It also includes the Wild Force Red Ranger Key! Be on the lookout for this figure at retail now!

Happy Holidays, Tokunation! Kamen Rider Gaim is here to make this festive season a little more juicy with the release of the special Christmas themed Orange Lock Seed.

For those curious about this Lock Seed: it does feature it’s own unique Holliday themed noises.

The seed can make “Marry Christmas!” “Happy Time!” And lastly, it sings the tune of Jungle Bells using Japanese instruments.

The set does include a special Christmas Cake which sadly cannot be shipped overseas. You can check out the vid down below:

If you haven’t been following Tokunation’s year long tribute to Power Rangers 20th Anniversary, then here’s your chance to jump in on our coverage! This month our tribute turns to Power Rangers Megaforce & Super Megaforce and to celebrate we’re bringing you galleries of the ENTIRE line of DX mecha from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

Today’s gallery is of the Gokaigers main mecha, Gokai Oh! The central gimmick of this line was opening compartments which could house future mecha add-ons. These “Grand Powers” of previous sentai split into multiple components which could either fully fill the Gokai Oh’s compartments or in some cases replace the limbs of it entirely. The dial on Gokai Oh’s back hits triggers in each limb as it’s turned and opens the compartments in sequence. An additional cannon accessory can also be mounted within the chest and can be activated by the spinning dial gimmick. If you’d like to, check out the differences between this figure and it’s US counterpart the Legendary Megazord[/URL] then check those images out as well.

thanks to Herotaku[/URL] we have full sized images of the entire line-up from Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger! Credit to Tokunation.com user Kamen Blitz for pointing us to these images!

These scans show case the entire team of Tokkyu 1-5 as well as their first robo Tokkyu-Oh, their 5 individual weapons which are capable of combing into the tentatively named “Ranketsu Buster” & their “Tokkyu Changer” wrist mounted henshin devices. It’s all here people, the 38th Super Sentai has rolled into the station for it’s year long adventure!!

UPDATED:
Tons of new info translations courtesy of the team at Herotaku!

“2014’s Super Sentai are trains…Ressha!! The locomotives, bullet trains, and steam trains which everybody admired when they were children. The theme of the 38th Super Sentai series is “Trains”! The Tokkyugers, along with the “Ressha”, must protect the “Rainbow Line” railroad from the evil “Shadows”. Imagining victory, these 5 heroes set off on their journey!”
The gimmick for this year are the “Ressha”, which are train carriages which are used in the weapons, changers etc. The “Ressha” are also components for the mecha and seem to mostly form additional arms. Ten different Ressha are shown on this page. Also detailed is an interesting concept called “Norikae Henshin” (literally “Transfer Transformation”, “Transfermation”?). So when Tokkyu 1 uses the Green Ressha to transform, he will become Tokkyu 1 Green. A form that looks exactly like Tokkyu 4, but with a number 1 on the head and chest. It remains unknown what purpose this colour swapping feature, apart from being needlessly confusing, will serve.
The transformation item is the TokkyuChanger, a wrist based transformation item. The Ressha are placed in the Changer and a lever is lowered to facilitate the transformation. The transformation sound will be the name of the Tokkyuger, so for 1 it’s “Tokkyu 1, Tokkyu 1”. After this point different Ressha can be used to cause different “Transfer Transformations”. The changer is compatible with all the Ressha and comes with just the Red Ressha.
Also, on this page are two auxiliary Ressha. The first is Tank Ressha, a light blue train, which splits into two parts and attaches onto both of TokkyuOh’s arms to from TokkyuOh Tank. This form fights with a boxing style.
The second is Car Carrier Ressha, the tiny little cars can drive up a ramp onto the carriage. This attaches onto one arm to form TokkyuOhCarCarrier, which fights by using the tiny cars and with “Car Energy”.

The changer and robo will be available in the TokkyuOh and TokkyuChanger Set!

The Tokkyuger’s mecha is TokkyuOh! It’s component parts are Red Ressha, Blue Ressha, Yellow Ressha, Green Ressha, and Pink Ressha. There are 13 carriages in total, and when put into a line, it is 1.2m long, while the robot form stands at 275mm tall.
First up is the TokkyuBlaster, a weapon used by all the Tokkyugers. It has two modes; the ‘Uchimasu’ Mode, which is a gun; and the sword ‘Kirimasu’ Mode. This comes with the Scope Ressha, which can be loaded into the weapon to power it up or form a scope arm for TokkyoOh.

Below that is the TokkyuBuckle. This provides a space for the Rainbow Pass to fit, although what purpose this serves is unknown. It is not however the transformation item as some earlier reports suggested. This comes with Shield Ressha, which can form a Shield Arm for TokkyuOh.

This year’s team cannon is the RenketsuBazooka, a combination of each of the Tokkyuger’s individual weapons: the RailSlasher, the HomeTrigger, the TunnelAxe, the ShingouHammer (Signal), and the TekkyouClaw (bridge). When combined these form a 425mm long mini-track for the Energy Ressha to travel along, and then be shot out of. The Energy Ressha can combine with TokkyuOh, but doesn’t look to form anything noticeable.
