The Bandai UK Facebook Page has put up some excellent preview images of the upcoming Legacy Dragonzord!

This mini-gallery gives us our first side-by-side comparison with the original Dragonzord mold as well as shots with all Dragonzord combinations using both the ’93 molds AND the Legacy molds!

Legacy Dragonzord should be on its way to store shelves VERY soon! Keep a lookout for this fantastic piece of Power Rangers history!

Are you ready to travel to Helheim Forest? Well your Kamen Rider Gaim Arms Change figures are about to be. It’s time to pick up the Lock Vehicles Sakura Hurricane & Rose Attacker today to compliment your growing collection of AC figures!

These vehicles strike the best balance between functional transforming locks and pretty great vehicle modes. Though they don’t feature electronics like DX & Gashapon Lock Seeds, these little gadgets more than make up for it with a smooth transformation. It also helps that they scale perfectly with Arms Change Riders. Do you plan to pick up the Lock Vehicles or are you waiting it out for the S.H. Figuarts releases?

Let our photos help you decide! Check out our full image gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

It’s time to end the speculation folks. This news comes courtesy of our sister site ToyArk. Bandai Tamashii Nations has announced that their S.H. Figuarts and D-Arts lines will be merged together. D-Arts as a sub line is now over.

Beginning in April 2014, figures that would have fallen under the D-Arts banner will now be released under the S.H. Figuarts line. A couple of confusing examples of this change over have been reported recently. Non-Toku figures such as Mario, Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, and Lucario were all originally intended for the D-Arts line. However with the discontinuation of that line these figures have been solicited as S.H. Figuarts as will all future releases that would have been in that line.

For anyone who wants to join in on the discussion of S.H. Figuarts (toku or non) hit up our two main discussion threads on the topic. The non-toku S.H. Figuarts thread in General Discussion will also retroactively encompass the D-Arts line from this point on.

More from Wotakufighter of Youtube! Now we have a two-part look at Energy Lock Seed 03- “Peach Energy” as used by Energy Rider Marika!

In recent years female riders have been on the rise. Nadeshiko in the Fourze/OOO Megamax film and Mayu/Mage in Kamen Rider Wizard have both established the power of female riders. Marika looks to kick things up for the Gaim riders.

The most recent catalog scans also give us a few hints about the future of Kamen Rider Gaim!

In addition to closer looks at the upcoming DJ Gun and Kachidoki Lock Seed we saw previously, a brand-new type of Lock Seed is shown in scans. This appears to feature several fruit flavors on a rotating base, along with a new holder that fits in the Sengoku Driver after removing the faceplate similar to Jinba Lemon Arms. Could Gaim’s final form involve shifting between multiple Arms in combat without swapping Lock Seeds? Time will tell! This new lock also appears to be the rumored “key” necessary to unlock the Kachidoki.

A minor teaser for the Arms Change line is included in the scans. While Gaim Kachidoki Arms remains in shadow, we have a clear look at Energy Rider Duke! Duke is, as expected, a remold of Baron & Mango Arms. Release date to be confirmed.

Lastly, the catalog also reveals two special edition Lock Seeds featuring Gaim & Kamen Rider 1 to commemorate the “Hesei VS Showa Movie War!”

Things are just rolling right along for Ressha Sentai ToQGer!

This latest round of scans reveals ToQ 6, who appears to be an ORANGE RANGER! 6’s identity is not yet confirmed but he will apparently transform using a modified smartphone.

ToQ6’s Robo is officially named Diesel Oh, made up of Diesel, Tank & Car Carrier Ressha.  This mecha is shown off in these scans, along with more new add-on vehicles based on a police train and a fire train from the look of it. The combined form of Diesel Oh and ToQ Oh is Cho ToQ Oh!

ToQ 6’s henshin device is known as the Appli Changer, it has four apps for ToQ 6 to use. Call Button, Drill Ressha Button, Build Ressha Button and the Transformation Button. To transform, he presses the Transform Button, the phone slides open and reveals a set of tracks. Which then allows you to slide a Ressha across the tracks sort of like a key card.

Finally, ToQGer will be receiving other add-on Legacy Mecha based on previous shows! Revealed thus far are train engines based on Gabutyra from Kyoryuger, Go-Buster Ace from Go-Busters and most shocking of all, the DEN-LINER from Kamen Rider Den-O! An ultimate crossover recreated through merchandise & the show hasn’t even begun yet!

Let’s hope there will be lots more awesome things down the track for ToQGer this year!
