Tsubasa will have to best the shooter at his own game. Meanwhile Drake attempts to destroy Magi Shine. And the deceitful Gorgon will use Toad’s poison to swap Houka & Kai! Can they solve their freaky friday situation in time to help the team?!

Recently released and having made it’s way to collectors is S.H. Monsterarts Mothra! 

This monstrous addition to the Monsterarts line while not flocked, is textured in a way that would mimic it. The effect works brilliantly as you can see here. Mothra also includes a personalized Tamashii Stage with a unique adapter to hold her up. Read on to see size comparisons of the beast with Godzilla & Battra.

“A monster? No. A god”

This powerful line sets the tone for this new international/Asian trailer for Legendary’s 2014 Godzilla. If you thought you’d had a good look of the titular beast before, then be prepared to be spoiled with even more shots of this monster! As well as a wealth of new footage of the Muto creature!

Godzilla destroys theaters May 16th.

We’re officially 1 week away from the 13th annual Free Comic Book Day 2014! Saturday May 3rd this year, will be a time for fans of comics new and old to go out to their Local Comic Chop and grab some free books, pick up some great deals, and have a good time!

Joining the fray of this event for the first time ever are the Might Morphin Power Rangers! Publisher Papercutz is bringing the original power team back in a new way with it’s special one-shot Free Comic Book Day Issue.

Another round of magazine scans has come online, showing the future path of the Rainbow Line!

The scans give us our first real look at the in-show appearance of Cho ToQOh– the combination of ToQOh and DieselOh!

In addition, we see the next two support Ressha- Police and Fire Engine! Police gives the Mecha a blaster & handcuffs while Fire Engine uses a massive water cannon to fight enemies!

Most importantly, these scans show us the long-awaited Emperor of Darkness– Great Leader of the Shadow Line betrothed to Miss Greeta!

Spoiler:

Unlike the other Shadow Line creatures, the Emperor appears to have a human form! His true name is “Zett” and he seeks the power of imagination!

Finally, the scans end with what appears to be a brief shadow of Toq6- as a teaser for more exiting adventures down the tracks next month!

Orders officially opened for Bravo in February and will remain open until May 7th with his actual release following in July. So get with your favorite Exclusive Middleman Service now to secure an order before it’s too late!

New details and scans the Kamen Rider Gaim summer movie have surfaced online!

At the time rumors suggest that this movie will take place in an alternate universe; meaning events will not be canon with the series & the movie will not change the overall plot arcs. The appearances of

Spoiler:
Yuuya and Hase
seem to verify this.

A new leader for the Kurokage Troopers is revealed, using a Genesis Driver with the Pinecone Energy Seed (E.L.S. 05).

Three other Rider forms are seen in shadow, suggesting new Movie Exclusive Gaim Riders! In addition we also get brief shadow glimpses of Gaim’s Ultimate form, “Kiwami Arms!” Could this movie show us how Kouta’s final upgrade really works!

The Gaim Summer Movie premieres in theaters late July! Stay tuned to TokuNation until then as we keep you up to date on all details!
