As we continue to take a complete look at the Arms Change line of Kamen Rider Gaim we’ve got two new flavors in store for today’s gallery!

Today we have the AC04 2-pack of Pineapple & Ichigo arms! These pieces represent the first two additional arms changes for a rider we’ve seen in show and they both belong to Kamen/Armored Rider Gaim! This set includes arms changes only, there is no basic rider body included with them. So you’ll need to own one of the 4 scarce Armored Rider figures released so far in order to use them. Each new arms includes a unique visor/helmet, as well as a signature weapon for your rider of choice to wield.

To check our out full gallery of this set click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

A new sneak-peek at the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce has just been released! Thanks to the fellas at Rangercrew for pointing this video out to us.

Ahead of it’s February 15th premiere Saban Brands & Nickelodeon have released this 26 second teaser to get you primed for the show! The video features the Super Megaforce Rangers (morphed into the Legendary Ninja Storm Rangers) using their Morphers to become a full team of Legendary Red Rangers!

Bandai has released new of the recently announced Figure Rise 6 inch Kamen Rider kabuto and Faiz model kits.

The images gives us a  closer look at the accessory count and both will include a display stand. Faiz’s phone will be able to flip out and convert from phone and gun modes but even more shocking is that Kabuto will include the Kabuto Mizer, a weapon that both versions of his Figuarts missed.

In addition, Kabuto’s image gallery has all but confirmed that we’ll be getting a Dark Kabuto version.

Both kits are still scheduled to come out in March, with Faiz retailing 2000 yen and Kabuto costing 2300 yen.

The wave of Power Rangers Super Megaforce galleries continues with a look at the ‘Retrofire’ Legendary Megazord! 

A part of Bandai of America’s line of ‘Retrofire’ style Megazords, the Legendary is perhaps one of the best. Though the line has dropped the Retrofire name since Power Rangers Megaforce, this figure is clearly still a part of it much like it’s predecessor the Gosei Great Megazord. Stylized with super robotish proportions and a nice degree of articulation, these figures are an easy purchase for parents looking to score a cost effective alternative to the DX Megazords.

This weeks epiosde of Kamen Rider Gaim will see the reveal of his latest and greatest form, Jinba Lemon Arms. But we’ve been teased about a figure of it for quite a while. Seen  only in early solicits along side Shin Zangetsu as a blacked out image, finally the Arms Change figure Kamen Rider Gaim Jinba Lemon Arms has been revealed!

An additional image also reveals the first actual shots of Arms Change Kurokage & Tulip Hopper. Previous images were renders only, this is the first physical image of the set.

Thanks to the board’s ever intrepid DrillBit, more details of the upcoming Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger 100 Years After have surfaced!

In case you missed the announcement…100 years after will be about a brand new team of active Kyoryugers and a new image has revealed more details about these characters…they will in fact be decants of the currently active team from the series.

The new Silver is name Icchan, he’s Ian’s descendant. The new Blue is Nobuta-San, and he’s Noosan’s descendant. DeathRyuger is now called KyoryuNavy, he’s Daigo’s descendant named Dai-Kun. Ami’s descendant is the current KyoryuCyan also named Ami, she and Dai are siblings. Finally, the new Kyoryu Grey is named Soujiro, and as the name implies he’s related to Souji .

Speaking of Souji, it seems that he’ll still be alive and kicking at the ripe old age of 116 though the capacity of his role is not yet known.

under Garo

New details for the fourth televised adventure of the Golden Makai Knight Garo have come online!

The story details available so far tell us that Garo will face 9 Demons to defeat and seal an-all powerful force known as “Demon Ailis” (also referred to as Messiah’s Tear).

As reported previously, the mantle of Golden Knight has been taken up by Saejima Raiga, son of the original Garo protagonist Kouga.

On his quest to defeat the Demons, Raiga will be aided by another Makai Knight named Crow, a Makai Priest known as Jiiru, a mysterious magical girl called Mayuri, and the faithful Saijima family butler Gonza (a returning character from the first Garo series).

“Garo: Makai no Hana” is expected to begin this April! Stay tuned to Tokunation for further details!

 

under Kamen Rider

Bandai’s official site has put up a page for the previously-reported DX Lock Seed set featuring Durian and Donguri (or “Acorn” if you prefer).

In addition to the two DX Lock Seeds, this pack also includes two faceplates for the DX Sengoku Driver, featuring the profiles of Armored Riders Bravo and Gridon respectively.

This Premium Exclusive Set will open for orders on February 24 2014 and will be released in July 2014!

Melon, Lock on!

“By heaven’s decree”, we bring you another gallery from the wildly popular Arms Change toyline of Kamen Rider Gaim! Today we take a look at the mysterious white Armored Rider, Kamen Rider Zangetsu! 

As a  basic remold of Gaim, Zangetsu shares many design elements with his predecessor, but what really sets him aparts are the remolds and paint applications applied to him.. Even though Zangetsu is the rider least seen in the show, and in fact he’s already upgraded from this form, it seems to be the one Arms Change figure that’s hardest to find! Zangetsu seems to be the one figure that looks best in almost any Arms Change form as well, and one or two QC issues aside is an excellent figure.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to check out the full gallery of Arms Change Zangetsu. If you can find a Zangetsu for anything remotely close to retail price, now is the time to grab it. These things continue to rise in price. But if you miss it then don’t worry, AC Shin Zangetsu will be out on February 28th!
