LION, TIGER, CHEETAH!

Rounding out the popular S.I.C Kamen Rider OOO releases, we finally have more photos of the last main Combo: S.I.C LaToraTah which was featured recently in Magazine scans, the figure was first showcased at Tamashi Nation 2012.

S.I.C. LaToraTah Combo will be a March 2016 Web exclusive release, retailing for 8,100 yen before shipping and middleman fees. The set will include new legs, claws, and even a mane to give OOO a more feral and animalistic appearance. Three Cell Medals will be also be included.

It’s time to enter the Dead Zone with a brand new Kamen Rider Drive gallery, this time with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Dead Heat!

Drive’s mid-season upgrade, Type Dead Heat is a powerful upgrade on part with Heart’s primary form. Both in show & in figure form this Type is a conglomeration of the Drive & Mach suits. Primarily made up of Mach’s limbs and lower torso, the upper body is all Drive with a brand new head. It was a divisive form when it first appeared in show, but this figure is the sum of parts from two other excellent releases. Though sparsely accessorized (a few sets of hands and the Dead Heat cracked/berserk Tire) if you were lucky enough to obtain it from a certain retail chain in Japan, then the bonus Shift Car Highway Effect Sheet was included! 

All in all S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Dead Heat is another excellent addition to this line of figures. We’ve assembled over 50 images of this release and a full review for you to peruse after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery thread! Next up will be S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Technic!

It’s the beginning of the end for the Talkin Toku Podcast. With only two episodes left before the grand finale episode (32), join Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom for an epic nearly-2-hour-long discussion on all things tokusatsu.

Enjoy exciting new segments like Words of Wisdom from Tom, Jordan Recommends, and This Week in Toku In-Show Music with Chris. Enjoy a brand new sponsor – The Rita – and ask yourself why the hell you decided to download this podcast in the first place.

The meat of the subjects? Bullying in the tokusatsu fandom. We read off your responses on Twitter as well as share our own stories. We also discuss the continued trend of our childhood heroes starting Kickstarters/IndieGoGo’s and our feelings towards all of that.

We discuss what’s new on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, how amazing Power Rangers Dino Charge continues to be (with a side topic of whether or not it’s amazing because of how bad the previous years have sucked), and our thoughts on Kamen Rider Drive. We also made predictions for episode 47 – find out who was right and who was wrong!

All the details you need are below! Special thanks to our pal Trekkieb47 from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast for his help in one of our segments.

In celebration of the final upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Drive, we were able to find someone’s encoding of the music video for the very popular (and well done) song “Spinning Wheel”. Make sure you watch all the way to through the end of the video for the full tug on your heart strings, especially if you’ve been keeping up with the show.

What did you think? Sound off in our discussion linked to the story!

Originally discovered within Toys R Us computer systems way back in February, we finally have a real look at the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge Legendary Zord Set! Thanks to a seller on Taobao we’ve got out first official packaged images of this set.

As speculated and now confirmed the Legendary Zord Set indeed consists of reissues of the Zord Vehicle Rangers from the Mighty Morphin 2010 relaunch toy line! Originally these items were thought to be Legacy items but it looks rather like they’re going to be Toys R Us exclusives instead in Dino Charge packaging. As is this 4-pack consists of the Mighty Morphin Red, Blue, Black, & Green rangers with their respective vehicles (T-Rex, Triceratops, Mammoth, & Sabretooth Tiger).

According to the original information circulated in February this set should retail for $79.99. With packaged samples turning up on Taobao that means we should be seeing a release of this set in stores by years end at the latest. Keep an eye out and when or if you see it stores, sound off in our toys sightings forum!

The official Tamashii Nations Blog has just posted up some preview images of the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!

Chaser is up for release in January as a Tamashii Web Exclusive but thanks to this early preview we get a great look at this figure. But more importantly these images confirm how the E-Condition Lamp gimmick on Chaser’s Shingou Ax functions! Though the figure is also shown with a Break Gunner, this accessory is not currently listed on his order page, so it’s more than likely just included for these images.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser will be out in January for 5940 yen!

Just when you thought it was safe to pull your wallet out, Bandai America slaps you across the face with a resounding “NO” and proceeds to take everything out of your wallet. Scooped tonight by our great friends at MorphinLegacy.com, a Toys’R’Us employee sent them some pictures of the database with the information in hand.

Are you ready for more Legacy toys? Sound off in discussion! Thanks again to our friends at MorphinLegacy.com!

We don’t usually post up a lot of YouTube videos unless they are of brand new toys or we have a gallery going online in coordination with our good pal baltmatrix. However, we stumbled upon this one today and it was just too cool not to put up.

For those who don’t follow the YouTube scene, one of the members of the Power Force is MMPR Toys which is run by Bruno and Mia. They update about once a week and do some really impressive video work, a lot of which is on par with some of the stuff you actually see on the Power Rangers shows. This last week, they posted a video on how to make a Power Rangers “set” for your figures. It’s really informative and what the finished product is, is pretty awesome. Check out the video below!

1st off there are major spoilers with this, but it seems a Japanese fan has hacked a store display DX Ghost Driver from Kamen Rider Ghost. Purportedly this individual did so with Q-Tips but that’s speculative right now. However thanks to a set of sound clips circulating thanks to this individual we can fully confirm the validity of the below list of bran new Eyecon sounds for the DX Ghost Driver related to new Damashiis.

There are some pretty weird entries and some that it’s safe to say no one expected.  MAJOR spoilers are listed below so read on at your own risk:

Heisei Rider sounds:

For anyone wishing to here these sound clips we’ve attached the hacked MP3’s to this post. Credit for finding this set of files actually goes to TokuNation user ElConvoy, so thanks for that! All other information is courtesy of The Ghouly News!
