Archives for April 2014

under Super Sentai

The third quarter toy releases for Ressha Sentai ToQger made their grainy debut last month. But we didn’t actually get to see everything. Site sponsor BigBadToyStore has just rectified that for us with brand new higher res official images! Check out these new official images for:

  • Safarai Ga Oh – confirming it’s gigantic alternate lion mode!
  • Build Dai Oh – showing off it’s robot mode and a massive combo with ToQ Oh & Diesel Oh; Cho Cho ToQ Oh!
  • Legend Resshas – Shinkenger, Go-Onger, Goseiger, Gokaiger

Right now Safari Ga Oh is said to be the “movie exclusive” robo for this year. Build Dai Oh will be the personal mecha of ToQ 6 who has yet to appear. And the new Legend Sentai Resshas may feature in some sort of film much like their Kyoryuger & Go-Buster predecessors.

While you have a chance, how about you head on over to BigBadToyStore and pre-order these awesome upcoming machines!

Looks like Arms Change isn’t over just yet!

A simple teaser image has surfaced online for AC-PB 04, the fourth Premium Web Exclusive for the Arms Change series. This time PB brings us Armored Rider Knuckle, the Walnut Rider!

Since Knuckle is the last Armored Rider introduced in Gaim, its possible this Premium version will be the very last item in the fan-favorite Arms Change series.

With PB-03 (Sigurd & Marika) releasing in September, Knuckle’s release window should be opening in mid-to-late October 2014. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further price & release details!

Ishinomori’s legendary dual-colored hero is finally heading to Figuarts!

A recent magazine scan gives us a quick look at Kikaider’s Figuarts form; this release seems to use the iconic design rather than the revised version from the upcoming new film. For better or worse Kikaider appears to be marked as a Tamashii Web Exclusive.

Rival character Hakaider will also be appearing in toy form but at the moment his Figuart is only seen in shadow.

Kikaider is listed as a September release with an estimated price tag of 4860 Yen!

under Kamen Rider

Ryu Ho! Ha ha ha!

 S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen has finally been announced for release! After a few months in limbo it’s finally been revealed that Ryugen will be released in August 2014 for 3800 yen. The better news is that he also appears to be a retail release!

Love or hate the character (most likely hate) the figure of him looks gorgeous! Check out a few of the official images for Ryugen after the jump!

under Power Rangers

You can’t keep a good man down – and that’s why raz keeps bringing the news! Being the toy sleuth that he is, he’s managed to find two images of upcoming 5 Inch Legacy Power Rangers figures – the Mighty Morphin White Ranger and the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger. These toys are billed as being part of the Legacy collection, which means these are Toys’R’Us exclusive figures. The images are a little grainy as they were taken with a smart phone through glass, but you still get a great idea of what the toys look like. Check them out!

A new catalog scan has turned up online & gives us some new details regarding the second season of Ultraman Ginga!

*The new hero Ultraman Victory is heavily featured in this new merchandise, receiving two new roleplay weapons: the Strium Brace transformation device and the Victory Lancer weapon.

*Victory’s special ability is revealed through the new action figure series, “Change Victory.” The new Ultraman can summon and transform various monster limbs for new attacks. The Change Victory action figures are said to be similar to Kamen Rider Gaim’s “Arms Change” series, something Ultra collectors may enjoy!
