Another gem from the new magazine scans: we now have our first look at the villainous Black Beet from Juukou B-Fighter – better known to Western audiences as Shadow Borg from Big Bad Beetleborgs or perhaps as General Venjix in Power Rangers Wild Force.

Black Beet will be available in March 2015 and cost 5814 Yen. Sadly it appears this evil robot is a Tamashii Web Exclusive, requiring a middleman to purchase. Interested fans, keep an eye on preorder sites or contact your preferred buyer if you wish to add Black Beet to your shelf!

It’s that time of the month again people! New Tamashii Pickup reveals!

First on the block is S.H. Monsterarts Gamera! Long awaited by Kaiju fans this version of the beast is based on his appearance in Gamera 2: Attack of Legion. Gamera Includes alternate wings and flame breath effect parts, and features an opening abdomen to replicate his Ultimate Plasma attack!

Next up we have a pair of SHF releases. First is S.H. Figuarts Hurricane the signature bike of Kamen Rider V3! And a bit of an odd reveal is S.H. Figuarts Shadow Moon Renewal! This renewal appears to have bulkier proportions than the original but there’s no confirmation yet as to what else may be differentfor this figure.

As always we’ll continue to update you as more information becomes available!

One of the coolest things to come out of the entire Power Rangers fandom over the years is that the kids who grew up watching it are now old enough to begin producing their own work – and a lot of them are! Introducing “Teenagers With Attitude”, a self-funded fan film reboot of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but done in a more modern and (in some cases) realistic setting in regards to the teenagers themselves.

This fan film was written by, directed by, shot by, and edited by Cisco Davis Jr. Check it out below!

I think you’ll agree this was one heck of a fun show. Here’s to hoping Cisco will release a follow up because that is one hell of a teaser at the end! Sound off in the comments your thoughts on Teenagers With Attitude!

TokuNation is continuing a Titanium Powered week of galleries with another winner, Super Legends Titanium Ranger!

Following up on our 5″ Super Megaforce Titanium gallery we wanted to take a look at the first “super” figure of this character. Super Legends was a brief albeit very popular line of roughly 6″ scale rangers (and 1 villain) inserted into case assortments of Power Rangers Jungle Fury & RPM figures. Unfortunately the line ended prematurely when the Power Rangers franchise was cancelled with RPM, but of the figures released Titanium Ranger is one of the best. It fact it’s one of the best figures ever released of the character. Super Legends Titanium Ranger is a must own if you’re a fan of the character at all.

Check out 40 images of this great figure as well as a full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And be sure to stay tuned this week as we bring you images of the long awaited Power Morphicon Ranger Key Set featuring Titanium Ranger & Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger!

It’s time for another episode of Talkin Toku!

Join Kickback, Den-O, Sentai Tamashii, and special guest host Danny as they discuss their thoughts and feelings about the upcoming finale of one of the most well-received toku series in recent memory – Kamen Rider Gaim!

In the toy talk segment they discuss the hunt for Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures at their local Walgreens, as well as their reactions to the Kamen Rider Gaim Overlord weapons in the upcoming release of the Arms Change Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi Arms figure.

Conversation is lost when … well, the graphic in the story will make a lot more sense. Around 20 minutes in the fact we’re unscripted with no clear direction rears its ugly head as conversation changes to Chuck E Cheese?

But take a listen – find out who is right, who is wrong, and who was way off base when the Kamen Rider Gaim live stream airs later this afternoon and releases via sub groups next week!

There’s also a bit of talk about Power Rangers Dino Charge, a small wishlist for the 2015 Super Sentai series, and more stuff!

Enjoy the episode and we’ll see you on the flip side of the series finale of Kamen Rider Gaim in a little over a week!

With the approach of Kamen Rider Drive right around the corner, more and more scans and information is coming out regarding the upcoming hero’s form changes, toys, accessories, and so much more. Thanks to a post on the Kamen Rider Facebook Fan Page and our friends from HeroTaku.com, we have some new Shift Cars (the devices used to change forms and access new abilities) to share with you.

The scans aren’t too great but check out the new reveals: Shift Wild, Shift Technique, Justice Hunter, Spin Mixer, Massive Monster, Dream Pegasus, Dimension Cab, Mad Doctor, Rumble Dump, Fire Braver, and Rolling Gravity! Kamen Rider Drive premieres on Sunday, October 5th in Japan, but thanks to the powers of time differences, it can be viewed online through various streaming sources on the western half of the world at 7pm EST on Saturday, October 4th.

Are you excited for Kamen Rider Drive and these new Shift Cars? Sound off!

It’s time for another round of Titanium Power at TokuNation! In honor of the Titanium Ranger’s inclusion in the finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce we’ve got 3 galleries coming up for your viewing pleasure. And the first one is today’s featuring the Super Megaforce 5″ Titanium Ranger from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue!

Having only just made it to retail in the final Super Megaforce 5″ assortments, this figure has been spotted mostly at Walgreen’s. And I was lucky enough to stumble across one. As a massive fan of the Titanium Ranger I had to own this guy to display with all my other Titanium figures. If you have the chance, and can find this guy for retail price, then definitely pick him up to compliment your 5″ ranger collection. You can always use another 6th ranger. And we don’t exactly get figure of good old Ryan Mitchell very often.

We’ll also be bringing you another pair of galleries later in the week for the Power Morphicon Ranger Key set as well as the Super Legends Titanium Ranger! Stay tuned for these upcoming galleries and for now click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see over 30 images of this unique addition to the line as well as a full review!

The Power Rangers film project has lost its Executive Producer.

TokuNation.com is back with another gallery and review of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures, and this time it’s none other than the current leader of the team, the Megaforce Red Ranger with thanks to Fury Diamond from RangerCrew for hooking me up with this figure.

This is the first time the Megaforce Red Ranger has been released in 5″ size but how does the figure hold up? Does the detailing on the molding of the accessories continue to shine as seen in previous galleries? Click here to see the gallery and review!.
