Toei has officially announced two new Metal Hero V-Cinema projects, featuring the return of Space Sheriffs Shaider and Sharivan! Both direct-to-DVD projects are said to act as partial sequels to the “Space Sheriff Gavan” Revival from 2013.

*Sharivan Next Generation will be released on October 10th and Mihara Riki (formerly GekiViolet) will return for the title role, echoing his performance from the Gavan revival.

*Shaider Next Generation has a release date of November 7th with Iwanaga Hiroaki (the original Kamen Rider Birth) also returning as Space Sheriff.

Both projects will be directed by tokusatsu veteran Koichi Sakamoto! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details & join in our ongoing Discussion to share your thoughts on the Sheriffs’ return!

With their pending release later this month, we’ve gotten an early look at packaged samples of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim & Kamen Rider Baron! Gaim & Baron each retail for 4104 Yen.

Pre-Orders have been hard to come by at all the big import retailers, but be sure to keep your eye on Amiami as their pre-orders have come back in stock off and on the last few days for both figures.

Check out that Gorgeous Orange & Banana themed packaging after the jump!

In honor of the King of the Monsters’ triumphant return to theaters, Bluefin has released the first image of a new MonsterArts figure featuring the new Godzilla design!

Labeled “Legendary Godzilla” (as tribute to the new film’s production studio) this new MonsterArts is an impressive sight! Sadly no price details have been revealed at the time of writing, and the release window is only hinted at- “Coming later 2014.” Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

Given to Ichigo by Professor Midorikawa, when a switch is flipped, an ordinary motorcycle transforms into the Cyclone, and helps the Riders to battle the villains, using its signature move Cyclone Crusher!

All aboard!

Tokunation has pulled back into the station with Ressha Sentai ToQger. And we’re back with a new gallery of DX Diesel Ressha!

Diesel Ressha, or as Right/ToQ 1 would call him “Grandpa”, is pretty unique in this line. Instead of being the typical “2-car” Ressha like the previous ones Diesel comes in 5 pieces. So this guy is crazy big when compared to the other Resshas. His addition to the line allows you to take the already released Tank & Car Carrier Resshas and create Diesel Oh! This blocky awesome robo is a welcome shelf mate to go with your  ToQ Oh. And if you’d prefer to display them combined, you can! As Cho ToQ Oh!

One week from now Mahou Sentai Magiranger ends on Let’s Watch Wednesdays! But for now, let’s see how the Ozu family stands up to the remaining  Gods of Infershia!

Toad has been chosen to punish the surface. And the truth is finally revealed, Miyuki is his most prized possession in his collection of souls! But to retrieve her the Magirangers will have to play Toad’s deadly game. Meanwhile Blagel continues to guard N-ma’s soul while 3 Gods assault him. The spirit of the wolf is strong! The peaceful god Titan will refuse the power of N-Ma. And It’s time for the Ozu family to add one more to the fold as Magi Mother makes her triumphant return!

It’s your next to last chance to discuss all things Magiranger in our weekly discussion thread! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to jump right in.

Deep from the depths of 2010 we bring you a special sponsored gallery courtesy of EntertainmentEarth.com. For a great selection of figures and collectibles from all different genres, including a selection of case pricing, check out EntertainmentEarth.com for your action figure and collectible needs!

Originally released four years ago in 2010, Kamen Rider G3-X (from the era of Kamen Rider Agito) manages something that a lot of the older S.H. Figuarts do not – it stands the test of time! Featuring the old waist and diecast metal feet, these older features actually work quite well for this figure which many refer to as the RoboCop Terminator. The Cerebrus Gun comes included with Kamen Rider G3-X, as well as the Unicorn, Scorpion, and Guard Acceler accessories.

In a mere 2 days, the King Of Monsters will make his triumphant return to movie screens world wide after being absent for nearly 10 years. And while we may not have a new trailer or featurette to share right now, why not have a look at 3 choice videos to get you pumped for Legendary’s Godzilla?

Taking an unfortunate but hilarious trip down memory lane, how about Screen Junkies Honest Trailers treatment for the 1998 Rolland Emerich Godzilla movie? It certainly puts the already panned film into perspective.

Then why not check out CineFix’s very own Shot For Shot home made trailer for Godzilla 2014? A comparison of this and the original can be found on their page showing just how true  this “sweeded” version is to the actual trailer.

And of course we can’t forget the deliciously awesome Godzilla 2014 Snickers commercial! One of the best pieces of marketing for this film has undoubtedly been this hilarious commercial which shows the big G having fun playing ping-pong, water skiing, chatting up the ladies, and having a good time. 

And with that, prepare for Godzilla to destroy theaters on May 16th!
