Archives for March 2014

under Garo

Last year we heard some rumors about an upcoming GARO anime adaptation. Now, the first official image and story details for this new project have been revealed!

The show will be known as “Garo: Honoo no Koukin” (Seal of Flames) and should begin later in 2014. The story will be written by long-time tokusatsu veteran Kobayashi Yasuko! This project is described as “…a completely original scenario, unrelated to any characters or stories we know.” 

Stay tuned for more information on this unique revision of the Golden Knight!

Two new Support Resshas for the Rainbow Line have just hit store shelves in Japan, and Youtube reviewer “wotakufighter” has put up reviews for both!

This is the DX Tank Ressha

And here’s the DX Car Carrier Ressha

Car Carrier first appeared in ToQGer episode 5 and Tank Ressha is set to appear (in full) during this weekends’ episode!

Both can be purchased now from your tokusatsu merchandiser of choice, and they will also be re-released as part of a special 3-pack (bundled with Diesel Ressha) in late April!

Real Rider Kumon Kaito Sidestory is a recently announced novel that will explore the back story and peels away the layers of Kumon Kaito, AKA Armored Rider Baron.

Getting to the roots of the character, the novel will be about how Team Baron came to be. The novel will be written by Enari Mitsunori with Gen Urobochi’s support.

Thanks to Tokunation member Drillbit for giving us the heads up!

under Kamen Rider, Super Sentai

As reported by orendsrange.com, recent scans have revealed that Narutaki, nemesis of Kamen Rider Decade will be playing a role in the much anticipated Ressha Sentai Toqger/Gaim crossover special.

His exact involvement isn’t known, but from the images we do know that he’ll have is own monkey puppet and will be appearing along side a monster called Mouraroid.

As this special is a prequel to Heisei VS Showa,  this most likely means that the whatever causes the events of Heisei VS Showa, it’s probably Decade’s fault.

Shift into Turbo!

It’s time for another vintaqe ranger gallery! This time we’re taking a trip down memory lane with Power Rangers Turbo and the Turbo Shifter Phantom Ranger figure! Based on VRV Master from Gekisou Sentai Carranger, Phantom Ranger has a much more significant role than his original counterpart. An ally to both the Turbo and In Space rangers he quested across the galaxy to find Zordon, fought the Alliance of evil, and all the while provided the rangers with new zords! VRV Master was much more of a support type character and as such when the time came for Gokaiger’s 35th sentai anniversary season, he was not counted among the sentai teams nor even 6th rangers or extra heroes, and thus a ranger key was never made for him.

But we can change that! Saban’s Morphin Madness is still ongoing and while Phantom Ranger has made it to round 2, it’s up to you the fans to make sure he makes it all the way to the end! The 5 winning rangers of the Morphin Madness bracket will in fact be turned into limited edition Ranger Keys! This bracket would appear to be the ONLY chance for the Titanium Ranger & Phantom Ranger to ever make it into key form! So check out our full gallery of Turbo Shifter Phantom Ranger by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post, then head over to Morphin Madness and cast your vote for Phantom Ranger!

I should also mention that once again, this vintage piece of Power Rangers history was provided by the awesome people at Ranger Stop! If you’re looking for vintage and collectible Power Rangers merchandise they are your #1 stop! Head over to their site and check out their selection, and don’t forget the upcoming  2nd Annual Ranger Stop Superhero Toy & Comic Con in Orlando FL, November 7th-9th!

The latest batch of toy magazine scans have began cropping up online and among them is the news that Kamen Rider Hibiki will FINALLY be joining the ranks of the S.H. Figuarts toy line. Specifically he will be a mass release figure in August, retailing for 5400 yen. This high price suggests that he will be using the same new type body as the soon-to-be-release Kamen Rider Kabuto renewal.

Also revealed is Zangetsu Shin from Kamen Rider Gaim, who will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in August (priced 4536 yen).  But before all that Kamen Rider Leangle, the last of the base four Blade Riders to be released, will be coming as a mass release figure in July for the price of 4104 yen.
