Revealed just a few days ago, we have some new detailed shots of the NEX Tridoron! Actually we have over 40 of them!

Part of the upcoming summer film Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, the NEX Tridoron is based on a 2016 Mercedes AMG GT. It’s been implied that this new vehicle and possibly the rider associated with it could be from the future. The license plate however for the NEX even reads as Type Next. Could we be seeing a new rider all together, or could Type Next be the previously spotted new Drive Type?

Time will tell! When we have more information we’ll be sure to keep you updated! For the time being join our ongoing discussion of the film and the NEX itself by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

A leaked picture from the set of Kamen Rider Drive has given us our first look at the hero’s final form- Type Tridoron!

Type Tridoron appears to be a bright red suit with white highlights, and one black arm. No helmet is shown at this time.

Previous rumors & toy listings suggested Type Tridoron would have multiple configurations thanks to its Tire Kakimazeru or Mix-Up ability. This image appears to show Tridoron in its Koujigenba (or construction site) configuration; a fusion of the Shift Cars Rumble Dump, Spin Mixer and Rolling Gravity.

An official reveal of Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron should be seen in the near future! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

Yee-Haw!

The shining star, Starninger, has arrived on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. And with him comes the release of a brand new mecha for this series, the DX Bison King!

Composed of the Otomonin Rodeomaru & Bison Buggy, DX Bison King is a pretty versatile toy. When the two components are combined for the buggy you get a pretty uniquely different vehicle we’ve never really seen before in sentai. Combining them properly yields Bison King himself! A bulky cowboy themed robot wielding a Gunblade! Combine Rodeomaru with Shurikenjin to form Shurikejin Texas, or throw all of them into the mix and you can form the imposing King Shurikenjin! The year of the ninja continues to get more strange and more awesome with each new toy release!

And while we’ve assembled a pretty massive gallery of this figure our friend and frequent contributor Baltmatrix has also filmed a video review of DX Bison King! Be sure to check out Balt’s video below and subscribe to his youtube page for further updates!

And be sure to check out our full gallery of this figure, totaling 100 images! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our full gallery & review thread.

We’ve been seeing some speculation recently for Kamen Rider Drive’s upcoming summer film, primarily in the form of information and images for the exclusive Drive Type for that film. Today however we have some solid info! Tweeted out by the official Kamen Rider Drive twitter account is not only the title of the film itself, but a new vehicle exclusive to it! The film will be titled Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, and while we don’t have more plot details beyond that we can likely infer a few things.

The same tweet also revealed the existence of the next generation Tridoron for the movie, the NEX Tridoron! The NEX is a special vehicle indeed, while the standard Tridoron is based on the 1992 Honda NSX, the NEX is in fact a 2016 Mercedes AMG GT! Could this new vehicle be related to Drive’s new Type? Or another character entirely?

We’ll keep you up to date as more information on the summer 2016 film Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future becomes available!

Continuing it’s still new line of high end releases, Premium Bandai have just revealed Super Sentai Artisan Rodeomaru! 

In much the same fashion as Artisan Shinobimaru, and in fact revealed on Shinobimaru’s order page, Rodeomaru will be much more to his on screen counterpart, feature a greater degree of poseability, and premium paint apps. This full replacement for DX Rodeomaru will be able to combine to form DX Bison King as well.

Ordering information, pricing, & release date for Super Sentai Artisan Rodemaru have yet to be released but we’ll keep you up to date as more information becomes available! Yee-Haw!

When the new Kamen Rider Gaim: Gaiden special video came out in Japan last month, a special questionnaire was included asking fans what other Zawame City Riders they would like to see in future releases.

Now it seems the votes have been tallied! A new Gaiden Project has been announced- featuring Kamen Rider Duke and Kamen Rider Knuckle!

Sadly, no other information about this project has been confirmed at the time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Gaim Gaiden details!

under Power Rangers

The much anticipated Super Power Beat Down by the popular YouTube channel Bat In The Sun featuring the original Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and Ryu from the long and storied Street Fighter franchise has finally been released after multiple delays (due to reshoots, etc.). The story? Ryu is fighting in a backstreet alley because reasons when a new challenger appears to fight him.

The special effects add a nice flavor and the Green Ranger features a brand new costume inspired by the original. Check out the video below and join in our discussion!
