“A holy transformation that happens once a year!” – Gai Ikari/Gokai Silver

Today TokuNation is happy to present a special Gallery 2.0 of a figure released nearly 2 years ago, S.H. Figuarts Gokai Christmas! A limited Toei-Hero.Net exclusive of a one-off form used by Gokai Silver/Gai Ikari in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger episode 44. A union of the Red & Green Gokaiger Ranger Keys, this form was Gai’s way of joining in the holiday festivities. We posted up a gallery of this bad boy all the way back in January 2013, but now we can finally give this fantastic figure the time & love it deserves with this full fledged gallery!

Though we’re sharing this gallery to celebrate the Christmas holiday, we know that many of our friends family members & staff also celebrate entirely different holidays all around the world. We’d like to take this moment to not only wish the community a Merry Christmas but also Happy Holidays!

under Power Rangers

The good people at RangerCrew have uploaded some interesting new character bios for the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge season. This is our first look at the personality traits found in the new Ranger team!

*Tyler Navarro, the leader of the Rangers, is a free-spirited adventurer with a huge heart. Determined to solve the mystery of his fathers’ disappearance, this curious and energetic Ranger is nothing to mess with when it comes to defeating evil. For Tyler, making friends is easy- but will defending Earth be just as simple?

*Shelby Watkins is known to leap before she looks, and her amazing bravery is matched by her incredible knowledge of dinosaurs. She’s strong-willed, stubborn and a nightmare for any evil villain. Even though Shelby may seem pretty serious she does have a softer side… especially where the Red Ranger is concerned!

*Riley Griffin may be quiet, but his intelligence and amazing discipline speaks loud and clear. After leaving his family ranch to defend Earth, Riley’s confidence and incredible sword skills have made him a fierce member of the Ranger team. With a love for brainteasers and battling evil, Riley is one well-rounded Ranger.

*Even though Chase Randall is from New Zealand, he can feel at home anywhere as long as he’s riding his beloved skateboard. Chase may be a flirt, but meet him on the battlefield & you’ll be flirting with disaster.

*Koda is the oldest Dino Charge Ranger… by 100,000 years! It may be funny to watch this caveman maneuver the modern world, but his incredible strength and natural intuition are no laughing matter. This prehistoric Ranger has a heart of gold, and will stop at nothing to defend Earth.

While some fans may note similarities between these character outlines and the Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger counterparts, a few new twists have been added for American audiences.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Dino Charge details!

POWER RANGERS DINO CHARGE PRE-ORDERS!

Do like we do – pre-order this stuff, put it in your Pile of Loot, and ship it altogether and save money on shipping!

If you’ve held off ordering the Legacy Titanus figure we have great news – this highly desired and costly Toys’R’Us exclusive is now 50% off its original retail price – now $99.99 from $199.99! This may not be the final price drop we see on a figure that obviously isn’t selling as well as originally planned. But for those of you (and there’s a lot of you) who said “I am not paying $200 for that” … well, now you can pay $100 for it and grab it before it does eventually sell out and you’re stuck grabbing it for $300 on the after-market. Or have you not learned from past mistakes with the now $200+ Legacy Megazord that everyone waited for it to drop on clearance?

What are you waiting for? Click here to order Titanus at $99!

Go on!

It’s time that TokuNation and I personally finally wrap up a segment we started over a year ago. Back in July 2013 we had an extensive look at the entire DX mecha line of Engine Sentai Go-Onger, save one very rare release. But today I finally have it, and we can finally share it with you. The DX Police Deco Gunbir-Oh Gallery!

This rare Toy Dreams Project exclusive release takes the original DX Gunbir-Oh and slaps some gorgeous police themed paint apps on the set. Birca, Gunpherd, & Carrygator have never looked better than they do here. From their Engine Souls to their fully combined form, this set just works. Never mind the alligator car or fish arm, this thing looks glorious in Police themed colors. And don’t forget it can still form it’s own versions of the Engine Oh G6, G9, & G12 as well! It runs a bit pricey these days but this is definitely a set for the ultimate Go-Onger collector.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but check out a full 40 image gallery of this excellent set, as well as our review, after the jump. And don’t forget to leave a comment in this thread as well. A post here will automatically enter you into our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! Specifically you’ll have a chance to win our All Aboard Sentai Prize Pack! Full details of our giveaway as well as prize pack breakdowns can be found here. Best of luck to all who enter!

Another interesting video from former stunt coordinator Jeff Pruitt!

This short video gives us a brief look at some of the props used to create Zord footage during Mighty Morphin Power Rangers– including some examples of the various different sized Zord props used to achieve an appropriate sense of scale during monster battles. A definite must-see for fans wishing to learn more about the production of this series!
