under Power Rangers

Last week came the revelation that the Power Rangers Legacy toyline is far from over.  It was thanks to @razzle1337 on twitter that we learned of the existence of these upcoming items. Now we’ve got a little more clarity for what these upcoming items will be like. Updated info from Raz via TRU’s computer system indicates:

Legacy Movie 5” Figure – $16.99
– Assortment# 97020
– Toys R Us Item Number# 207678
– 6 Figure UPC’s found
– Figures from MMPR Movie
– Replicate original packaging
– Includes 1 battle gear item
– Assortment includes Ivan Ooze

Legacy Saba – $99.99
– Assortment# 97165
– Toys R Us Item Number# 206345
– Highly detailed replica
– Show accurate speaking
– Tiger animatronics
– Die cast
– Lights and sound

White Tigerzord – $79.99
– Assortment# 97205
– Toys R Us Item Number# 207708
– Die cast
– Zordbuilder compatible
– Morphs with MMPR Dragonzord

 

These juicy tidbits reveal that not only will we be getting at least 5  Power Ranger from the original theatrical film but also Ivan Ooze! Though it’s curious that Ivan would be in the assortment but there would be only 6 UPC’s total, 1 ranger may be left out in the initial assortments then. 

Legacy Saba will feature diecast as well as animatronic features for his mouth ensuring total accuracy.  And this new batch of info brings confirmation that the Legacy Tigerzord will feature the zordbuilder system. Love it or hate it the system appears to be here to stay. The information provided even specifically alludes to the Tigerzord’s ability to combine or “Morph” with the Dragonzord!

Our Power Rangers Monday segment continues! Last week, we shared with you our Top 5 things that were not adapted from Super Sentai and got a lot of great responses. It’s always fun to take a look at the “what if”, as many fans who aren’t dedicated followers of Super Sentai had no idea about Gosei Green or the entire scenario revolving around Shinken Brown. Thanks for your feedback and for enjoying the article!

For this week’s topic, we put up a poll asking you to pick which topic we discussed today – and while the vote was close, the one that edged the others was the Top 5 Must Own Power Rangers Toys! This one was a little more challenging to write up because so many of the toys have Super Sentai counter-parts, leaving us to almost have to focus exclusively on the action figures as opposed to the Megazords. However, we did come up with a list that we feel is pretty awesome.

Before you read in to it – we didn’t include anything from the Legacy collection or from the S.H. Figuarts toy lines. Why? Because everyone knows that you MUST own those items. They are simply masterpiece quality figures and Megazords that every Power Rangers fan should own. That, honestly, left some slim pickings – we didn’t want to focus on the “rare” as we can do that in a future update (we’re looking at you Gold Lost Galaxy Megazord!). So take a seat, lean back, and fire up your browsers to find these must own Power Rangers toys! Please click “Read More” to begin your adventure!

A brief new teaser for the upcoming summer film “Kamen Rider Gaim The Movie: Great Soccer Playoffs! The Golden Fruit Cup!” is now online!

This particular teaser features an introduction from Kataoka Ainosuke, the actor playing Kamen Rider Mars!

The Gaim movie premieres in theaters July 19th! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

under Conventions, Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

Bluefin reveals their 2nd exclusive offering for SDCC this year via facebook. As hinted at by company representatives from NYCC last year, it’s the S.H.Figuarts Armored Black Ranger from the MMPR exclusive episode an “Oyster Stew”.

The footage used for this episode is part of the “Zyu2” run of episodes. Saban had licensed Toei to film new material with new monsters to be used exclusively in Power Rangers episodes because Saban had already cycled through the available material. This powered up form appears once and only in Power Rangers despite being from Japanese footage. Currently there’s no word on pricing.

under Garo

The collector line for this juggernaut adult themed toku continues with yet another Makai Knight being released in the line! Up next is Makai Kado Phantom Knight Crow! Sent to assist Raiga in his battles against the Horrors, Crow is a Makai Knight featured in Garo’s fourth series, Makai No Hana. 

Phantom Knight Crow looks to be every bit as faithful to his on screen counterpart as past releases in the line. Not only will he include his optional wings, but also an alternate head to replicate the visor like transformation of his helemt.  And this should also be no surprise, but Crow will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive set for release in December 2014 for 7500 yen.

under Kamen Rider

The first major releases for SH Figuarts this November are confirmed!

The last Kamen Rider Ryuki hero, Kamen Rider Femme (or “Siren” if you prefer) is FINALLY set for release! In addition, Kamen Rider Den-O’s special “Wing Form” will also make the jump to to Figuarts at last!

Both Femme and Wing Form are apparently Tamashii Web Exclusive items, priced at 4860 Yen each. Definitely good news for Figuart Fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details.

under Garo

A new teaser trailer for the upcoming Garo anime project “Seal of Flames” has come online! This gives us our first look at the newest incarnation of the Golden Knight!

“Seal of Flames” does not yet have a confirmed release date (the trailer only mentions starting 2014) so stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting animated adventure!

under Power Rangers

UPDATED: From Raz himself we now have images of the listed names for these items as well as prices from the TRU computer system!

A major reveal is on the horizon. Courtesy of @razzle1337 on twitter, we have our first news of new upcoming Power Rangers Legacy items! According to Raz:

  • Legacy Tigerzord – $79.99
  • Legacy Saba – $99.99
  • Legacy 5″ Movie Figures – $16.99 Each

As has become tradition these items likely come from the Toys ‘R’ Us computer system. Though for now we have no images of the figures themselves. If a Legacy Tigerzord is indeed happening then would a Legacy Thunder Megazord be far behind?

And as for Legacy 5″ Movie figures, a listing such as this is years too early to reference the upcoming joint film project between Saban Brands & Lion’s Gate. What these most likely are, are 5″ figures based on the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theatrical movie! For the first time in 20 years we’ll finally have new product based on the original film!

So will we see these next month at SDCC? Possibly. Or will we see them at later date in the TRU computer system? This is just as likely. Be sure to stay with us as we update you in this developing story!

under Kamen Rider

Another new promo for the upcoming “Kamen Rider Battride War II” video game is now online! In addition to some impressive gameplay footage, this latest preview features the latest musical entry from the Kamen Rider Girls- “Break The Shell!”

Battride War II will be released on June 26th! Until then be sure to join in our ongoing Discussion Thread and share your thoughts on this exciting digital action!
