Archives for April 2015

under Power Rangers, Power Rangers Movie

We’ve been wondering for months when more updates on the production of the Power Rangers 2016 film reboot would be made public. Earlier in April some news finally trickled out with the reveal of director Dean Israelite helming the project. However today seems to bring more of a set back.

Thanks once again to The Wrap we have details about Lionsgate’s upcoming slate of films & their release dates. As of today we know that the Power Rangers 2016 Film originally slated for a July 22, 2016 release has officially been delayed to January 13, 2017. The change was seemingly made to move the film from a crowded summer 2016 filled with other top box office films.

Join our ongoing discussion of the Power Rangers 2017 Film about this film and the information we have so far for it by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation forums at the bottom of this post.

Briefly glimpsed on the set while filming, today brings our first official teaser of Kamen Rider Drive’s newest form from his upcoming and as of yet untitled Summer Film.

This currently unknown Type bears a tiny bit of resemblance to the Drive Type High Speed but with a new head. The distant set photo that has leaked appear to show a primarily black suit with a bright green Tire as well. As more information on this new form becomes available we’ll be sure to update you!

The power is on for the final time at TokuNation!

We’ve taken a look at 6 figures so far in Bandai of America’s Power Rangers 5″ Legacy Line for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie, and today we wrap up our coverage of this line with the 7th and final figure! Rounding out the 6 movie rangers is the Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie White Ranger!

As with our previously reviewed Movie Rangers this figure marks the first time ever that the Movie White Ranger has been portrayed properly in toy form. Oddly enough, though this figure comes with fewer accessories than all the others, it somehow winds up being the best executed of the set. The Movie White Ranger may not come with much but he does come with his one and only weapon, the trusty talking tiger saber, Saba! We break down the ins and outs of this figure, both positive & negative, in the review after the jump.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but the full gallery thread contains over 40 images! We’ve tried to fully showcase this figure and in fact the entire Legacy Movie lineup with this gallery. In the coming months TokuNation will return with more movie themed galleries as we prep for the 20th anniversary of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie!

A new round of magazine scans has been posted online, giving us a look at the future adventures of the 39th Super Sentai Series!

The bulk of images focuses on the arrival of StarNinger and his interactions with both the Igasaki clan and the Yokai. Most importantly, we get some very detailed samples of the next Ninninger Otomo-Nin combination- King ShurikenJin!

In addition, the magazine scans have revealed the next general of the Kibaoni to revive: Tsugomori Masakage. Wil the Ninningers be able to overcome this latest evil? Only time will tell!

Though we’ve seen official images and display pieces of the final production S.H. Figuarts Tridoron, Bandai has just treated us with a special look at this upcoming vehicle with a look at the earlier stage of the production process.

These S.H. Figuarts Tridoron images give us an idea of what an unpainted sample/prototype looks like mid production. It’s an interesting set of photos for sure. What’s more interesting perhaps is that these photos reveal is an accessory previously only listed on Tridoron’s order page as “replacement body parts”. In actuality it’s a new flat tire mid-section replacement for Drive’s back, one that allows him to sit back flat against the seat of Tridoron!

This is definitely one heck of an interesting look at one of the more hotly anticipated Figuarts releases for 2015.

Revealed and already available for order via the Tamashii Web Shop is yet another entry into Bandai’s recent Kikaider subline of S.H. Figuarts!

The personal ride of Kikaider 01, the S.H. Figuarts Double Machine is a successor to the original Kikaiders Side Machine. A rather fantastic design, though most definitely one straight out of the 70’s, the Double Machine will fit right in with your growing Kikaider collection. It’ll most certainly fit in with mine! It looks like the only included accessories this go around will be a repeat of the last 2 Kikaider themed vehicles, spare handle bars and a set of optional licensed decals!

S.H. Figuarts Double Machine will be released in September for 7560 yen via the Tamashii Web Shop. Get with your web exclusive middleman to secure a pre-order today!
