Jungle Beast, Spirit Unleashed!

Continuing our celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Power Rangers, the users at TokuNation.com voted the actor David de Lautour (RJ, the Wolf Ranger of Power Rangers Jungle Fury) as the 9th Best Power Ranger of All Time.

When Master Mao passed away, he sent forth three of his students – Casey, Lily, and Theo – to the city to find their new master to continue training them to stop the evil of Dai Shi. Enter Robert James, aka RJ, the man in charge at Jungle Karma Pizza. A bit of a loner with a unique form of training for his students, RJ surprised them (and us to an extent) when he overcame the wildness of his Wolf Animal Spirit to become the Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger, helping the other Jungle Fury Power Rangers in their battle against Dai Shi.

RJ holds the title of, currently, the only purple colored Power Ranger in the franchise’s history (at least for another 4 years until a possible Kyoryuger adaption is brought over). Couple that with the brilliant acting of David de Lautour as RJ and the great writing for the character, RJ is a great selection for the 9th Best Power Ranger of All Time.

Born in 1982, David de Lautour is no stranger to acting, having started back in the late 1990’s in brief roles as Icus and Lief in the hit-show Xena: Warrior Princess. Easily best known for his role as RJ the Wolf Ranger in Power Rangers Jungle Fury and for doing the voice of Vergil in the Devil May Cry, he has also recently had a guest appearance role in NCIS: Los Angeles and continues to work on various film projects each and every year. Congratulations to David de Lautour on being voted by the TokuNation.com users as the 9th Best Power Ranger of All Time!

What do you think of this selection? Do you agree, disagree? Where would you have ranked RJ? Let us know! And stay tuned for the next update as we close out the year with selections 1 through 8!

Photo & Content contributor Ryan is back once again with a new gallery, this time of the big bad insect Greed from Kamen Rider OOO, Uva!

Uva was the first Greeed to receive the Figuarts treatment, and was a Tamashii Web Exclusive. For a long time he was one of the most expensive of the Greeed on the aftermarket. But like the others prices have since come down to very reasonable levels. As the first of the Greeed releases Uva sat the bar, click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” to see what ryan thinks of this figure and to see the full image gallery!

The always amazing Shishioh has just gotten his hands on this months selection of Tamashii Web Exclusives. And first on the list of reviews is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider 2 (Nigo) Original Colors Version. Rider 2 was just released this month via the Tamashii Web Store for 2940 yen. If you didn’t have a chance to get with and exclusive middleman then be sure to check secondary retail sites for this figure to start popping up!

We’ve attached a selection of images from Shisho’s review to this post, by clicking this link you can check out his entire in depth review of Rider 2.

Royal Straight Flush!

Thanks to a combination of some anonymous 2chan users and Cybergundam we have our first in hand looks at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade King Form! Blade’s final form is a Tamashii Web Exclusive just released this month and just beginning to ship to domestic buyers and middlemen services.

If you’ve been following our weekly Let’s Watch Wednesdays segment with Kamen Rider Blade then you’ve recently seen King Form for the first time. And if you’re caught up to this weeks selection of episodes then you know the terrible consequences of it’s power as well. Please feel free to join in on our weekly discussion thread.[/URL]

under Kamen Rider, Ultraman

A new image has surfaced giving us the full list of Tamashii Web Exclusives slated for May 2014. Of note in the list of upcoming exclusives is two variations of the recently revealed S.H. Figuarts Auto Vaijin! One is slated for release in May for 5400 yen. But the other surprise release will be a 2-pack containing Auto Vaijin and yet another new release of Kamen Rider Faiz! This 2-pack version will retail for 8856 yen, also for release in May!

We also have our very first look at the upcoming Tamashii Web Exclusive Ultra-Act Imitation Ultraman Renewal! After the renewal of the original Ultraman it was only a matter of  time before his evil doppleganger got the same treatment. The original release of Imitation Ultraman has since increased in price dramatically so hopefully this release won’t suffer the same fate. Imitation Ultraman is scheduled for release in May 2014 for 4536 yen.

under Super Sentai

While the cast & crew of “Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger” is still unrevealed, certain characteristics about the upcoming 38th Super Sentai have surfaced online.

Tokkyu 1, the team leader and a force to reckon with, this happy soldier seems to hide a greater imagination than anyone else.

Tokkyu 2, smart and a walking dictionary, this serious soldier overthinks just about anything, even in a fight!

Tokkyu 3, a dependable woman always comes to the aid of her friends, using a variety of martial arts to unleash her exacting techniques on enemies.

Tokkyu 4, a forever unhurried soldier, he finds his true power in times of trouble.

Tokkyu 5, a cute girl who changes into a variety of characters in battle. It gives people the wrong impression about her strength and also gives her an unexpected power.

So far everything sounds good for the Tokkyuger team! Stay tuned for further details coming down the tracks!

Another image from Figuroh magazine has surfaced. While this page might be featuring the forthcoming Figuarts Black RX and Acrobatter renewal releases the scan reveals that following Mammoth Ranger, the next of the Zyuranger and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures will be none other than Tricera Ranger!

Unfortunately, the image is so small that none of his release details can be made out more on that when it becomes available.
