under Kamen Rider

After some early teasers we now have full images of Kamen Rider Baron’s new form, Lemon Energy Arms!

If these scans are accurate, Baron will be the second Rider to swap his Sengoku Driver for a Genesis model to take advantage of the Energy LockSeeds and the Sonic Arrow weapon. The exact circumstances of Baron’s new powers are not yet revealed.

In addition, we also get a close look at Gaim’s third Jinba form- Peach Arms! Since Jinba Cherry granted Gaim the ability of super-speed, Peach may have a special new ability of its own.

Keep watching Kamen Rider Gaim & stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this fresh and inventive new series!

under Kamen Rider

First seen in sillouette 1 month ago we finally have a real look at the upcoming Kamen Rider Baron Lemon Energy Arms!

This new form so far appears to be the basic Baron body equipped with Kamen Rider Duke’s Lemon Energy Arms. This implies several possiblities. Both Gaim & Duke have Lemon Energy Locks floating around so the one used by Baron could be stolen from either of them. Duke could simply have another one. Or due to recent spoilery developments in last weeks episode, a certain other character may be able to make another Lemon ELS for Baron. Rumors floating around (unconfirmed) also propose Ryouma Sengoku tinkering with Baron’s Sengoku Driver, allowing it to accept ELS’s.

Time will tell, let the speculations run wild until this form debuts in show!

under Power Rangers

The ultimate form for Jayden the Red Ranger of the Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai was the powerful Shogun Mode.  With this mode, he was able to defeat the evil Master Xandred once and for all!  And thanks to TokuNation.com photo staff member conundrum, we have a special gallery for you to celebrate that final mode and that final battle of Power Rangers Super Samurai!

Clocking in with 17 points of articulation and a nifty crimson paint job, the Shogun Mode Red Ranger figure is a pretty slick looking figure!  It even comes with the Bullzooka and the Mega Blade, which with this toy, can combine to form the Shogun Spear.  To check out all the images of this great looking figure, simply click here or on the “Discussion” link at the bottom of this news post.

Go Go Samurai!  Please share your thoughts on this figure!  We should also note – the Red Samurai Power Ranger is in Round 3 of Morphin Madness squaring off against the popular Titanium Ranger!  Who has your vote?

under Conventions, Power Morphicon, Power Rangers

Hey fans of Power Rangers!  If you’re in to conventions, you need to make sure you head to this year’s official Power Rangers convention, Power Morphicon!  Held this year at the Pasadena Convention Center on August 22nd through the 24th, it is the SUPER MEGA place to get your Ranger-on with the largest gathering of past and current Power Rangers actors, as well as actors from other American tokusatsu series like VR Troopers, Masked Rider, and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight!  This year is going to blow all the other years out of the water with the announcement of the following Power Rangers!

  • Austin St. John (the original Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger and the Gold Zeo Power Ranger)
  • Matt Mullins (Wing Knight on Kamen Rider Dragon Knight)
  • Monica May (the Yellow SPD Power Ranger)
  • Kevin Duhaney (the Blue Dino Thunder Power Ranger)
  • Jeff Parazzo (the White Dino Thunder Power Ranger)
  • Alyson Kiperman (the Yellow Wild Force Power Ranger)

With those additions you will have a Power Ranger from almost every single season of Power Rangers!  Even more awesome, with the addition of Monica May, fans of Power Rangers SPD will be super-excited to know that the entire core cast of SPD Power Rangers is now in attendance to appear!  There are also a ton of behind-the-scenes guests, like writers, directors, and members of the stunt team.  But the biggest announcement, without a doubt, is the return of Austin St. John who has been out of the fandom for a few years now.  What a perfect time to get your S.H. Figuarts Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger signed!  Or in my case, a Power Rangers Super Legends Gold Zeo Ranger!

If you haven’t yet registered, there’s still time to do so.  Just go to www.officialpowermorphicon.com and follow the links to get yourself registered.  We hope to see you at the show!  GO GO POWER RANGERS!

under Ultraman

Several weeks ago we reported that a new Ultra trademark had been filed, using the name “Ultraman Victory.”

Today we received our first official image of this new hero! Although most of the suit is obscured, we can see certain impressive details- including a consistent “V For Victory” theme.

The exact details of the series have not yet been revealed but Ultraman Victory should make some appearances with current Ultraman Ginga during the “New Ultraman Retsuden” special programming over this summer. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!!

under Godzilla

One of the most anticipated movies of this year is the upcoming Godzilla movie. Recently, the first wave of the toy line was released and site contributor and good friend of ours baltmatrix decided to splurge on most of the first wave of toys. And when he buys toys, he sits down and records himself playing with them. Today, he shows us a video of the relatively small package of the Godzilla Pack of Destruction set, which features a small Godzilla figure, a city ripe for destroying, and a really small, tasty-looking jet. Check out the video below!

Don’t forget to subscribe to baltmatrix’s video channel so you can stay up to date on all his video reviews. This set looks to be a fun, affordable set for collectors and kids alike. And I’m already eyeing the destructible city to make some fun dioramas … and if that’s what you’re really looking for, you still get a neat little looking Godzilla figure out of it! Join in the discussion and share your thoughts!

under Super Sentai

For those with the wallet space that can afford the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Ranger Key Set, the item should be arriving at your doorsteps soon! One of the mysteries of the set was who was going to be the extra key that was included. Many people thought that Deathryuger would be in the set but alas … they were wrong! This special edition set of Ranger Keys comes with the following:

  • Kyoryu Red
  • Kyoryu Black
  • Kyoryu Blue
  • Kyoryu Green
  • Kyoryu Pink
  • Kyoryu Gold
  • Kyoryu Cyan (male)
  • Kyoryu Grey
  • Kyoryu Violet (male)
  • Kyoryu Violet (female)
  • Kyoryu Silver
  • Kyoryu Red Carnival
  • Torin

 
Check out this video showcasing this Ranger Key set below!

Are you planning to pick up this set of Ranger Keys? Can you even afford it? And how about that sweet looking Torin key? Remember – this is probably the only way to get Ranger Keys for what will soon be known as Power Rangers Dino Charge, so if you’re a collector it wouldn’t hurt to start looking for the cheapest one you can find!

under Kamen Rider

In a Japanese magazine cover that is chuck full of promotion for the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei vs Show Movie, we get what appears to be our first image of a new form for Kamen Rider Baron. Based on the armor that he’s wearing, it looks as if Kamen Rider Baron is showing off the arms from the Lemon Energy Lock Seed, as the armor resembles that of Kamen Rider Duke. The image is small, but if you look just to the left of the image of Kamen Rider Gaim Rider 1 Arms you will see what we’re talking about.

Whether or not this is something that will show up in the actual Kamen Rider Gaim television series, or is simply something that appears in the upcoming movie, has yet to be revealed. Either way, take a good luck and come discuss with us!
