under Power Rangers

Thanks to a listing on Amazon.com, we now know of the existence of an upcoming Mega Bloks item for Power Rangers Super Megaforce. But what is most interesting is both the name of the figure, the Q-Rex Megazord, as well as the product description of the item. It is as follows:

Call upon the awesome might of the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger’s personal Megazord and build the Mega Bloks Power Rangers Super Megaforce Q-Rex Megazord! This powerful Megazord was inherited by the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger from the Legendary Time Force Quantum Ranger. You can construct the Q-Rex Megazord in Robot Mode and use its huge drill to take on any Armada giant that attacks the Earth. Ideal for ages 5 and up.

 

 

So now the question is … did we just learn the name of the Silver Ranger‘s Megazord – the Q-Rex Megazord? And if that’s the case – how do you feel about the story line, that the Silver Ranger received his personal Megazord from the Quantum Ranger from Power Rangers Time Force? And how much do you wish Dan Southworth was in Super Megaforce to reprise the role of the Quantum Ranger now? Discuss!

And we’re back with our regularly scheduled programming on Let’s Watch Wednesdays! But this is the home stretch for Kamen Rider Blade. With only 4 episodes and a movie left we’ll mix up the end of this segment. This week will be the final 4 episodes, 46-49. Then next week to end it all we’ll be viewing the Blade Movie, Missing Ace!

If Joker wins the Battle Fight the world ends. But Tenonji will use a Trump Card in this fight, The Fifth Ace Kerberos. The one Undead created by man, not the Master. Between Tennouji and the final Category King controlling it’s power, the Battle Fight will be brought to an end.

But humans can only survive if the riders win, and if they do Hajime must be sealed too. Garren will make the impossible choice to save a life, a winner will be declared, the Dark Roach will be born, and the end of the Battle Fight will be turned on it’s head. As long as two Undead exist the battle never ends. Kenzaki will make the ultimate sacrifice, for the eternal stalemate.

Don’t forget that this week and next will be your final chances to be entered in our Let’s Watch Wednesdays giveaway! Every post you make in our LWW Discussion threads will automatically enter you in for a chance to win S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade, or our to be revealed secondary prize! The poll for the next LWW series will be in 2 weeks so get your nominations ready!

Hello toku fans! Once again TokuNation has passed a milestone in it’s history. January 5th 2014 marked our official 2 year anniversary. With our first anniversary we did something special, something to give back to this amazing community and the members that make it possible. So last year we came up with our Toku Toy Box giveaway, where a few lucky members got some very special gifts to celebrate with us! And this year is no different.

This site has continued to expand and grow every day. And every single one of you make that possible. You’re continuing debate and discussion drive this site further and further and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Creating a fun, welcoming, and diverse community of fans is what TokuNation is all about.

TokuNation has aimed to be your home for Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Godzilla, Metal Heroes, Ultraman, Garo, Pacific Rim, and more for 2 years now!

under Power Rangers

Thanks to the ever-so-awesome raz, we have some new items popping up in computers for Power Rangers Super Megaforce and the more collector-oriented line of Power Rangers Legacy. While some are pretty easy to figure out, the big one (and we’re not talking just about the price!) is kind of difficult, and discussion continues on what it could be. So here we go!

PR Legacy Megzrd Titans
– Price: 199.99
– Asst: 96980
– Item #: 96981
– UPC: 045557969811
– Tru : 859278
– Case count: 2

PR Legacy 5in Figures
– Price: 16.99
– Asst: 96970
– Tru #: 859359
– Found 8 items, 96971-96978

PR SMF Feature Megazord
– Price: 49.99
– Asst: 38060
– Tru #: 858665

There’s a couple more listed for Power Rangers Super Megaforce that consist of training gear and basic figures. But the real question is … what the heck is a Legacy Titans and why does it ring up at $199? Fans have speculated that it’s anything from the prototype Jumbo Megazord that you saw FIRST here at TokuNation.com during our coverage of San Diego Comic Con and New York Comic Con, while others have speculated that it could be a Legacy Megazord, Legacy Dragonzord, and Legacy Titanus 3-pack (which would justify the price).

What do YOU think it is? Come join in the discussion and give your thoughts and predictions! Chances are … we’ll know at Toy Fair 2014, which we’re pleased to announce that TokuNation.com will be in full attendance to get you pictures and any interviews possible from the Bandai of America booth! Fire up the speculation-boat and sail away friends!

under Kamen Rider

The hottest thing in tokusatsu right now is Kamen Rider Gaim, and the hottest toys from that series are the Arms Change figures, which feature transformable fruits that change from fruit to armor, just like on the show! After reports came out that stated that Kamen Rider Gaim is setting franchise records for merchandise sales, fans everywhere began to fear that corners would be cut in production for supply to meet the demand (you can’t sell toys if you don’t have any left to sell!). Our very own baltmatrix finally got his set in (ask him about SAL vs EMS shipping!) and took the time to do a video review! Check it out below!

baltmatrix is a popular video reviewer for many of YOUR favorite toys – from tokusatsu toys like the Arms Change series to Super Sentai and Power Rangers Megazords, to the always collectible Transformers figures. If you haven’t already, click here and subscribe to his reviews. This way, you never miss a beat and you’ll know when to watch out for floppy joints and what to expect when you finally get that brand new action figure you’ve been waiting for!

What do you think? Do Arms Change Mango & Kiwi meet the same standards set from all the previous releases, or are they a step above or below? Did Bandai of Japan try to be too innovative with this set, or was it just enough? Join us in the discussion!

under Power Rangers

With Power Rangers Super Megaforce toys hitting retail across the nation is it any wonder we have more awesome galleries to share with you?

Today Photo & Content contributor conundrum brings us another taste of this series with Armored Might Super Mega Red Ranger gallery! The Armored Might line of 7″ action figures started with last years releases of the Megaforce Red & Blue Rangers but soon added Robo Knight and the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger & White Ranger to it’s lineup.

Though the Super Megaforce Rangers don’t have an armored mode, they take full advantage of this lines higher price point by being armed to the teeth with 8 new weapons based on Legendary Power Rangers! To check out the full image gallery and the figures’ cross compatibility with other Armored Might releases click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

After what seemed like the longest hiatus in the history of television (it was a week, but a REALLY long week!), the next subtitled episode of Kamen Rider Gaim is available courtesy the folks of Aesir Subs. When we last left our heroes, they had discovered some horrible truths about themselves, their Sengoku Drivers, and about Yggdrasill.

In this episode, “The New Generation Riders Appear!”, we rejoin Kouta and Micchy after the events from the previous episode. We also get a look in to the past of Kaito and Mai – and learn an interesting connection that they share which you just know will become a focal point of the series later on! We also catch up with Hase, who continues to deal with the events that transpired to him from the previous episode. Jonouchi and Oren Pierre Alfonzo have some screen time, and of course, the debut of the first Energy Rider! And some previews for Episode 13 that will BLOW YOU AWAY!

What are you waiting for? Come join the discussion and VOTE on the episode! And if you haven’t seen every episode up until now, you can still catch up using our Ultimate Kamen Rider Gaim Resource Thread – it has episode summaries up till the latest episode! We’ll see you in discussion! HENSHIN!

Bandai is at it yet again with more collectible trinkets of your favorite Legend Heroes! The Arms Change line for Kamen Rider Gaim has proven to be one of Bandai of Japan’s biggest sellers this season so cashing in on that success with this unique set was a no brainer. Much like Ranger Keys, Rider Rings, and all those that came before it, Legend sets sell incredibly well.

Featured in Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle the Legend Rider Arms are this years movie exclusive power up. Generally reserved for the main rider, the main 4 riders from the series; Gaim (Wizard), Baron (OOO), Ryugen (W), Zangetsu (Fourze) each receive the “Arms” of a senior rider.

With the high sales of the Arms Change line and the in demand nature of this set, surely Bandai knows they can cash in on us pretty hard by making more Legend Arms? We can only hope! To check our or full gallery of this interesting set click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. More Arms Change galleries to come this week!
