The Premium Bandai website has finally been updated with new pictures of the Ticket puppet that was revealed just last week.
The actual puppet itself unfortunately isn’t quite the high end replica that people were speculating. None the less, Ticket is still coming out in limited quantities for the relatively low price 2,970 yen.
The Ticket Puppet will be shipping out in August 2014.
Special thanks to board member Goblez for giving us the heads up!
Attention all Power Rangers fans in or near Denver, Colorado! This weekend is the third annual Denver Comic Con and it’s the largest convention yet! For those of you who are fans of brightly colored spandex wearing heroes (and a main villain), this is a great opportunity to meet some of your childhood heroes. In attendance this year is David Yost who played Billy the Mighty Morphin Blue Power Ranger, Walter Jones who played Zack the Mighty Morphin Black Power Ranger, Jason David Frank who played Tommy the Mighty Morphin Green and White Power Rangers, the Power Rangers Zeo Red Ranger, the Power Rangers Turbo Red Ranger, the Power Rangers Dino Thunder Black Ranger, and is returning as the Mighty Morphin Green Power Ranger in the final episode of this year’s Power Rangers Super Megaforce. Last and certainly not least is Robert Axelrod, the voice of the evil Lord Zedd from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (and Armadillomon from Digimon Season 2)!.
Your scheduling block is pretty simple. On Friday, June 13th from 11:00am to 11:50am, join Walter Jones, David Yost, and Robert Axelrod in the Power Rangers: Morphin Time! panel. On Saturday, June 14th from 11:00am to 11:50am, join Jason David Frank for the Power Rangers: Jason David Frank panel.

As is usual with this time of the month the Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom displays have been updated. Though so far only one toku item has been put into the displays, it’s a big one. S.H.

This figure is due for release in Japan in September for 6800 yen. The Bluefin Distribution release of this figure will likewise be coming out in October for $67.99. If you’d like to pre-order this awesome looking figure then head on over to our site sponsor BigBadToyStore. It’s listed at BBTS for $67.99 as well.
Time for another official image dump! Bandai of Japan has just updated their official Ressha Sentai ToQger pages with new official images of:
Goseiger & Gokaiger Resshas follow in the footsteps of the Kyoryuger & Go-Busters Resshas, all of which can form new heads and chest pieces for the DX ToQ Oh, each one resembling the main mecha of their respective series. The Yuudou Breaker is the personal weapon of the soon to be seen ToQ 6 and will include his Drill Ressha!
Check these new images out after the jump!

Thanks to board member raz and his blog Razzle’s Dazzles, we have the first information on upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge figures. While there are no official images or prototype images available at this time, speculation has these toys all being revealed at this year’s upcoming San Diego Comic Con, and we here at TokuNation.com will be in attendance in full force, more so than previous years. Stay tuned to our upcoming coverage of SDCC 2014 as site owner Kickback and content director Den-O cover anything and everything tokusatsu related from the show.
Without further wait – here are the listings. Please note – these listings are not final, absolute, or guaranteed. They can be altered, removed, changed at any given time. However, their existence not only proves that Dino Charge toys could be here as early as this coming holiday season, but guarantees that we will have more than enough to whet our taste buds over come SDCC 2014 and NYCC 2014.
