Raiden Kamitsuki Gattai!

The original minipla fiend himself, Moonbasetom, is at it again with this gallery of Minipla Raiden Kyoryuzin Lightning Brave Finish Version from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!

This kit represents Raiden Kyoryuzin just at the moment it uses the  Lighting Brave Finish attack. Hence the very awesome mix of orange and yellow translucent plastics to replicate the energy of the attack. As with all of these special multi-box premium minipla sets, some awesome gold foil labels are also included to really spice up the kit. This set was originally a Bandai Premium Webshop exclusive released last month for 3675 yen. Check your favorite secondary retailers now to find this set!

An early image of the next Arms Change figure has turned up online, giving us our first look at Gaim’s “Jinba” Arms in toy form!

The Jinba AC piece is divided into four separate folding faces, meaning that this one figure can transform into all four of Gaim’s “Jinba” configurations! (for reference, the Jinba forms are Orange blended with Lemon Energy, Cherry Energy, Peach Energy or the previously-unrevealed Melon Energy).

This Arms Change release is expected to be out in stores late February/early March and should be available at the standard 3000 Yen pricepoint.

Mahou Sentai Magiranger continues on Let’s Watch Wednesdays at Tokunation!

The key has been found! The woman “Rin” is who the Magirangers must protect. But does she merely have the key, or is she the key itself? Or will she reveal herself to be something much more? Wolzard has finished amassing dark power as well. His chance to battle a Heavenly Saint has come. And the Hades Gate will appear, will the Infershia legions slip through? Will Branken actually be the victorious general at last? A new darkness will rise, very soon.

As always we’d like you to join us in our weekly discussion thread for LWW. Just click “Discussion the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to head right over!

And we’re back with another Ultra-Act gallery! You may remember our little segment on Let’s Watch Wednesdays last year featuring Ultraman Nexus. Is so you’re in luck, today’s gallery is of none other than Ultraman Noa!

Noa is the true and Ultimate form of The Next & Ultraman Nexus. A being of immeasurable power Noa has protected his universe for hundreds of thousands of years. Dark Zagi was even cloned from Noa by the Visitors in the hopes of creating a second great hero. In an ironic twist of this relationship the Ultra-Act Noa figure is a remold of Ultra-Act Dark Zagi instead. As yet another excellent addition to the Ultra-Act line, Noa has received a gorgeous design & sculpt as well as selection of accessories despite his extremely limited appearances.

This time of the month always brings a plethora of magazine scans as well as new information about all your favorite tokus. By far the communities’ most favored right now is Kamen Rider Gaim. And Toei is certainly showing Gaim plenty of love revealing things like Kachidoki, Fresh Orange, & Rider 1 Arms.

Well it looks like based on an image teased today we’ll be seeing an upgrade for everybody’s favorite banana themed rider, Kamen Rider Baron, in the near future too! What we have teased here is Baron in silhouette using what appears to be Kamen Rider Dukes’ Lemon Energy Arms! Based on this image could Baron possibly be receiving his own Genesis Driver? Or a Genesis Core like Gaim? Will it be a full on Energy Form or a Jinba style arms like Gaim? Time will tell!

Speaking of Gaim, Jinba Arms allows him access to any of the four Energy Rider powers based on which of their locks he’s currently using. Lemon is his first and recent images revealed Peach & Cherry. This teaser image also shows one of them, most likely Jinba Melon, which has yet to be seen. We’ll keep you posted as more info becomes available.

After some initial teasing during the Toq6 magazine scans, we now have a close look at ToQGer’s special movie form used in “Hesei VS Showa: Featuring Super Sentai!”

The combinations’ official name is “ToQOh Kyoryuzin, Featuring Den-Liner!” This Mecha will be piloted through a joint effort of Kyoryu Red, Den-O Sword Form and the ToQGers!

As of this writing the Go-Buster Ace Ressha also seen in toy scans does not appear to contribute to this movie combination. Perhaps the G0-Busters have once again been left out in the cold. We will find out full details in the “Hesei VS Showa: Featuring Super Sentai” Movie War, premiering March 29!

under Kamen Rider

You may recall a few months back, that a special Fresh Orange Lock Seed was offered as a magazine pack in bonus. As it turns out, this Fresh Orange lock will indeed allow Kamen Rider Gaim to use a new Fresh Orange Arms! 

This arms is set to debut in the Kamen Rider Gaim Hyper Battle Video scheduled for release this spring. Much like previous Hyper Battle exclusive forms it most likely will not appear in the main show proper. Prime examples of this trend being Gattack Hyper, Fourze RocketDrill States, Wizard Falco Mantle, or OOO TakaToraGaru.

This image also teases the other arms changes from the special:

Ryugen: Pine Arms, Banana Arms, Melons Arms
Zangetsu: Mango Arms, Ichigo Arms, Budou Arms
Baron: Kiwi Arms, Melon Arms, Ichigo Arms
