Several new official images of the next DX Otomo-nin releases have been posted online!
This gives us some close-up shots of DX Paonmaru and DX UFOmaru and lets us see how these new Mecha combine with DXShurikenJin!
DX Paonmaru will be released on March 14 while DX UFOmaru is scheduled for release on March 21. Both Otomo-nin are priced at 3024 Yen before shipping and handling.
Tamashi Nation finally released the official online gallery for S.H.Figuarts Drive Technique, announced as an online onlyWeb Shop exclusive
Pre orders for S.H.Figuarts Drive Technique will begin March 2nd 2015 for 5,184 yen, he’s expected to ship out in August. The Door Gun along with a Braver Tire and attachable arm piece are shown to be included with his accessories.
For now we only have a single image to base this assumption on, but it looks like the Super Hero Taisen GP film may be the second such film primarily about Kamen Riders, to feature Super Sentai!
A new magazine scan for the movie has surfaced showing what appears to be a Kamen Rider Drive Nin Shuriken! Thus implying that Shuriken Sentai Ninninger will indeed appear. On top of this is a silhouetted image of what looks like a new Shinobimaru style robo. One that could very well be the Tridoron given humanoid form!
Time will tell if this pans out but it looks like for now that we may have another special movie combo following in the footsteps of last years ToQ Oh Kyoryuzin featuring Den-Liner!
Several new images have been posted online detailing two upcoming Kamen Rider Drive releases.
*First up, TK-09– the action figure incarnation of Type Formula! This figure is an excellent recreation of Drive’s next upgrade, and should be fully compatible with other Tire Koukan releases. TK-09 is scheduled for release in March at a price point of 3500 Yen.
*Next, the DX Trailer Cannon– the signature weapon of Type Formula! This cannon uses Shift Cars for ammunition and is sold with the Shift Formula Shift Car. The Trailer cannon is also set for a March release and will cost 5800 Yen.
With the recent premiere of a new sentai, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, the reviews of the initial waves of merchandise have begun rolling in. We posted our official gallery of this toy earlier in the week, but today our friend and frequent collaborator Baltmatrix has shared his video review of DX Shurikenjin with us!
Check out the above video to see Baltmatrix’s complete review of DX Shurikenjin and be sure to subscribe to his youtube page for future reviews. Balt and I will be teaming up in the coming months to gallery & review as many of the DX Ninninger toys as we can. Also be sure to check the link at the bottom of this post by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums”. This will take you to our extensive photo gallery of DX Shurikenjin featuring over 100 images of this set!
Bandai Japan has opened an official page for the next Super Sentai Artisan release: a fully-articulate DX Shinobimaru!
The personal Mecha of Shuriken Sentai Ninningers’ Aka Ninger is brilliantly recreated with a superb level of articulation and vastly improved paint details. This release is still perfectly compatible with the DX Shurikenjin Mecha set, already released.
This Artisan item will be open for orders beginning February 27 and ending May 8 with a release scheduled for July 2015. Shinobi Maru will cost 5378 Yen before shipping, handling and related fees.
A new image of the 39th Super Sentai Series’ sixth member has hit the Internet! This is our first up-close look at the golden cowboy StarNinger!
StarNinger is seen holding the Ninja Star Burger, a transformation device that doubles as a cell phone in the shape of a burger. The exact link between StarNinger and the other five Ninningers remains unknown at the time of writing.
A teaser for the recent Ninninger magazine scans hints that StarNinger will join the series starting in April 2015. This is much earlier than most other 6th Ranger introductions! Could there be more Ninjas coming in the future? Only time will tell!
Shuriken Gattai!
TokuNation is proud to prevent it’s first gallery & review of the year from the latest sentai, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! The 1st item up is none other than DX Shurikenjin!
A quirky combiner DX Shurikenjin is made up of the Otomo Shinobi or Companion Ninja machines; Shinobimaru, Dragomaru, Dumpmaru, Wanmaru, & Byunmaru. With the aid of this toylines Nin Shuriken gimmick these 5 machines can combine to form Shurikenjin! When Shinobimaru sits in the pilot seat this standard form of the mighty robot exists. But swap Shinobimaru out to become a new arm adnd insert Dragonmaru and Shurikenjin Drago is born! This is an all around fantastic set that’s sure to perk up the interest of sentai buyers after last years seemingly lack luster selection.
We’ve assembled over 100 images of this incredible new toy including some images of the 1st run bonus Nin Shurikens included with it! We’ve attached a selection of these images to this post but click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our fully gallery/review thread. Because of the sheer number of images they’ll be split across the first 3 posts of that thread.
Enjoy!
Announced on the LexCon facebook page comes word that Yuta Mochizuki known for his role as Tyranno Ranger in Kyoryu Sentai Zyurager has sadly had to cancel his LexCon appearance for this year. Mr Mochizuki has become severely ill and unfortunately can’t make the trip to the states for now.
The silver lining to this sad situation though is that another Zyuranger actor will be taking his place. None other than Aohisa Takayasu AKA Mammoth Ranger! We certainly send our best wishes to Mr. Mochizuki and hope for a swift recovery, in the interim though be sure to head to the Lexington Comic & Toy Con from March 13th-15th to meet Mr. Takayasu!
