Toku Toy Box returns with yet another gallery of a classic toy! Picking up where we left off with our Superchange Kabutack DX Gallery we’re moving 1 year ahead to Kabutack’s follow up series, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack, the final Metal Hero! Today’s gallery will focus on the series lead character in toy form, Magnet Change Robotack!
A revolutionary toy line, Robotack features my absolute favorite gimmick ever; Magnet (Jishakku) Change! Each figure in the line consisted of a central torso with detachable limbs each embedded with a magnet. Not only did this allow you transform each figure from it’s Normal Mode to Super Mode but every figure in the line was totally interchangeable with one another! Any number of unique combinations is possible. Robotack himself is a sturdy die-cast laden toy more than worth adding to your collection, especially for the low prices he’s available for today!
Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to view the entire 80 image gallery as well as a full review of this set! We’ve also included a short synopsis of Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack for those unfamiliar with the series. And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!
A new image has hit the Internet, giving fans of Kamen Rider Ghost a quick look at the haunted hero’s next upgrade- the Grateful Damashii!
Grateful appears to be a heavily-armored form with spiked shoulders and a pointed helmet. The previously-revealed Eyecon Driver G said to unlock Grateful Damashii is unfortunately not pictured in this teaser.
Strangely, this new form appears to abandon the clothing-like appearance of previous Damashii. How this will carry over to the Ghost Change action figure series remains to be seen.

The avalanche of new Power Rangers Dino Super Charge releases hitting retail has struck again! Just found at retail by twitter user @DaHoneyBooBoo is the new Dino Super Charge Black T-Rex Zord!
This gorgeous new repaint, inspired by the DX Black Kyoryuzin, looks to have some nice metallic gold plastics used for accents. It also appears to share some molding with it’s wavemate the Spino Zord. As it also features the spine/back mounted missle firing weapon.
Have you found any of the new hot 5″ Dino Super Charge figures or Zords at retail yet? If so sound off in our Toku Toy Sightings forum where we have state to state threads for locals to share their finds!
The incomprehensibly annual grainy image period is over! We finally have our first true clear look at Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger! These new images finally give us a good look at several upcoming DX toys in the Jyuuouger line.
The Jyuuou Changer is indeed a cubical phone with a rotating element (think Rubix Cube) that allows you to choose the mode it’s used in (henshin, shokan, gattai). The Jyuuou Buster sidearm is confirmed to have both blade & gun forms. We get our first look at Jyuuou Eagle’s personal weapon the Eag Riser which is apparently also a segmented whip weapon!
But most interesting of all we get a fantastic look at the DX Cube Animals of the series! We’ve previously seen Jyuuou King, but these new images provide us with looks at Cube Elephant , Kirin, Tiger, & Gorilla. Kirin can become a Bazook for Jyuuou King, Gorilla Tiger & Elephant can merge together to form Jyuuou Wild! And these images also confirms a huge rumor, Jyuuou Eagle can transform into Jyuuou Gorilla!

Superchange!
Toku Toy Box is back with yet another vintage gallery for your viewing pleasure! Today we take a look back at a classic entry in the Metal Heroes franchise circa 1997-1998 with B-Robo Kabutack! And the toy of it’s titular hero, the Superchange Kabutack DX Set!
An often overlooked series, B-Robo Kabutack was the spiritual successor to the long forgotten Toei Fushigi Comedy series. A franchise marked by fun loving almost child like robots and their human allies. Examples being shows like Batten Robomaru, Morimori Bokkun, & Robot 8-Chan. Kabutack sat itself apart with some fantastic production values, a plot that borrows more than a little bit from Dragonball, and an absolutely fantastic gimmick for it’s toyline; Superchange! This DX Superchange set includes the fully transformable Kabutack as well as his 2 armors Drillut & Zabut, each sporting 3 different combinations with Kabutack!

Some new images from the Dobutsu Sentai Jyuuouger merchandise catalog have surfaced online!
For starters, we have our first look at this years’ transformation device- the Jyuuou Changer! This Changer appears to be a cube that can be converted into a cellphone.
Next, we get to see this teams’ main weapon- the Jyuuou Buster! This is a gun with attachment options for Jyuuou Cubes (exact effects unknown at time of writing).
Last but certainly not least, we have a clear image of the team logo! This artwork combines the various animal spirits for a very distinctive visual style.

After some toy teases and speculation we finally have our first look at Kamen Rider Ghosts’ 3rd rider, Kamen Rider Necrom!
Revealed in only a tiny portion of a magazine cover, Necrom is mostly obscured by Ghost Tokon Boost. Though his identity is currently unknown, one cant help but see some minute similarities between Necrom’s design and that of the Superior Ganma. The popular speculation is on the mysterious Alan being Necrom, but it’s anyones guess right now! In any case we should know fairly soon just who this rider is.

The Thundering Brave, S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold has arrived for Toku Toy Box with a brand new 2.0 gallery! Rounding out our trip down memory lane with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger it’s fitting that we end that trip with Kyoryu Gold.
Though he may have been the final Kyoryuger released, Kyoryu Gold is by far the best. Benefiting from a slightly bulkier build than the the previous five, Kyoryu Gold has by far the most heroic proportions. On top of this the figure also features a wonderful gold paint finish, and a decent load out of accessories. The massive Zandar Thunder sword, several sets of hands, a #6 Zyudenchi, the pre-attached Gaburichanger, and the most important accessory of all; the Fang Shot! Which is the final piece needed to create the Kentrospiker!
With the apparent death of Super Sentai S.H. Figuarts we likely won’t ever get the rest of the Kyoryugers, but if that’s the case? Then S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold is an appropriate finisher to the line. To see the full 50+ image gallery and read an in depth review of this figure just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
