under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

File this one under totally unexpected and totally awesome! Word has just dropped on Yoshi Sudarso’s facebook page, and been officially confirmed on the Toei Ninninger site, that Yoshi will be making a brief cameo in next week’s episode of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! 

In Yoshi’s words this will only be a “quick cameo”, but this is pretty exciting and very unusual. This actually marks the first time ever that a Power Ranger actor (from the excellent Dino Charge no less!) will make an appearance in an episode of a Sentai! This episode also marks the return of Metal Hero Jiraiya! So this is going to be one very exciting extra special episode of the series.

Whether you’ve continued following Ninninger or not we think it’s safe to say that this is one episode that people across the world will be tuning in to! We’ll see you next week Yoshi!

under Kamen Rider

Some new images from the second wave of Kamen Rider Ghost toys have been posted online!

*We now have our first look at Ghosts’ upgraded form, Ghost Tokon Boost! This design adds a flame motif to Ore Damashii and greatly enhances his abilities.

*Tokon Boost Damashii gets a new weapon- the Sunglaslasher! This sunglasses-shaped-saber can hold two Eyecons and perform combo attacks.

*A THIRD Kamen Rider for this series has been confirmed- Kamen Rider Necrom will be joining the battle for Damashii! While the new design remains hidden in silhouette, Necrom will henshin using a wrist-mounted changer (tentatively know as the Megaulouder.)

*Last but certainly not least, we also have brief teasers for the next two Damashii forms- Goemon and Ryoma along with three upcoming Eyecons– Grimm, Sanzo and Himiko.

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

A new round of auctions have cropped up on Chinese auction site Taobao showcasing some upcoming Power Rangers Dino Super Charge products in packaging for the first time! Among the items listed are some things we saw back as SDCC as well as a surprise or two:

Deinsuchus Zord[/URL]
Ankylo Zord[/URL]
Ammonite Zord[/URL]
Pachy Zord (Purple)[/URL]
Dino Charge & Ptera Charge Megazord Deluxe 2-Pack[/URL]

With these packaged samples turning up on the secondary market it’s probably a good indicator that they’ll be hitting actual retail in the near future! keep your eyes peeled and if you spot any of these new charged up items be sure to share your findings in our Toy Sightings Forum!

under Conventions, New York Comic Con, Power Rangers

Here are some images of the Power Rangers Dino Charge figures on display. Unfortunately, there was no new product revealed at NYCC 2015 this year. The diorama on display looks identical to the one seen at SDCC 2015. What was shown is as follows:

– Dino Charge Megazord
– Ptera Charge Megazord
– 5″ Figures (villain waves)

So while it’s not Poisandra or Dino Super Charge, either way it is still awesome to look at, so check out all the images after the jump!

under Kamen Rider

Some new information regarding the upcoming Movie War between Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Ghost has surfaced online!

Of particular interest, recent reports indicate that Movie War Genesis will be presented as a single contained story featuring both Riders. This is a drastic change of pace from previous Movie Wars, which generally feature three separate story bits (one for each Rider and only a short teamup at the very end).

The director of Movie War Genesis has also been announced- Osamu Kaneda, veteran of Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden and Super Hero Taisen will direct the film. The script will be written by Makoto Hayase– a newcomer to the tokusatsu genre.

Movie War Genesis will be released in theaters on December 12 2015! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all cinematic details!

under New York Comic Con, Power Rangers

Time for a brand new first look from our New York Comic Con 2015 news team! Revealed in Toys R Us computer systems a few weeks back, today brings the first actual physical look at the upcoming Power Rangers Legacy Falconzord! 

The Legacy Falconzord is looking very sharp as a fully painted and show accurate version of it’s show counterpart. Be sure to check in with us tomorrow as our show floor news team gets plenty more images of the Legacy Falconzord as well as the rest of the upcoming Power Rangers line up for this fall and 2016!

Teased and revealed on the official Power Rangers Movie Instagram is the identity of the actress who will be portraying the Pink Ranger in Saban & Lionsgate’s 2017 Power Rangers Movie!

Without further adieu Naomi Scott has been revealed to play the Pink Ranger! Her most recent acting credit is for a role in the Matt Damon film The Martian. Though she’s been active since 2009 in television, and arguably is best known for her role in the TV Series Terra Nova.

You can follow the official Power Rangers Movie Instagram here, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled as this piece of casting news undoubtedly means more could be on the way for the 2017 Power Rangers Movie. You can also follow Naomi Scott on Twitter @NaomiScott!

under Power Rangers

This year’s special contest brought to us by the crew at Bandai America is known as Megazord Madness, pitting some of your favorite Zords and Megazords against each other, much like last year’s Morphin Madness contest. The prize pack this year is a little different – five grand prize winners will win special packages valued at $500 of various Power Rangers toy line items – like Legacy, Dino Charge, and Dino Super Charge toys and roleplay items!

Check out the official video below!

Begin voting today at www.MegazordMadness.com today! You can vote once a day and enter to win one of the grand prizes! Special note … there are some inconsistencies on the voting akin to last year’s famous hacking that led to vote reversals. We reached out to Bandai America regarding some of these discrepancies (once again it would appear that anything relating to Jason David Frank‘s characters are losing by THOUSANDS of votes, while other votes barely have two thousand votes total) and received a response that they are aware of the situation.
