The first scans for the upcoming anniversary project Superhero Year: Kamen Rider 1 have surfaced online!

Centerpiece of these new scans is a completely revamped design for Kamen Rider 1 featuring bulky new armor. In addition, the first Rider gets a brand-new motorcycle- the Neo Cyclone!

Furthermore, the scans confirm that original actor Hiroshi Fujioka will reprise his role as Kamen Rider 1! The film’s story involves the return of evil organization Shocker (now split into the original group feuding with a subset called Nova Shocker.) Both Kamen Rider Ghost and Kamen Rider Specter are seen fighting alongside Kamen Rider 1, but it is unknown at this time if other Riders will join the fight.

Superhero Year premieres on March 26, 2016! Stay tuned to Tokunation as we keep you up to date on all details for this exciting anniversary project!

Just over two years ago, three friends got together and decided that all their conversations they were having on text messages could be translated to an audio format – like a podcast – and maybe people would be interested in hearing what they had to say. Fast forward two years and we’ve been incredibly humbled by everyone’s support and well wishes for our podcast – Talkin Toku Podcast – as we’ve slowly began to close shop.

Today is the day that we officially end the podcast.

But, to quote the immortal band Semisonic and their infamous goodbye song, “every new beginning comes from some other new beginning’s end” – and nothing could be truer. While the podcast comes to a close, we’ve been working behind the scenes on expanding our media footprint in the world. While we don’t have anything specifically to share or announce as of right now, please note that we’ve committed ourselves to new, engaging ways to bring to you the same humor and passion that you’ve come to expect. Trust us when we say it’s worth the wait!

So here you go! Enjoy this – the last episode of Talkin Toku Podcast!

Mayday, mayday, SOS!

It’s been a long time coming but Tamashii Nations is finally back with a brand new Metal Hero release with S.H. Figuarts Fire! The primary hero of the series Tokkei Winspector, Fire is scaled down here in all his glory. While the figure may be a bit light on accessories, he does still included his signature Max Calibur arm blade and the standard sidearm of the Winspector trio, the transforming Daytric M2! Luckily Fire is also the perfect size to work with any vintage Winspector toys you may have lying around like those featured in our gallery. Bikel’s Winchaser & the DX Winsquad/Firesquad!

We’ve attached a small selection of images to this post. But feel free to click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to a full gallery of over 75 images of S.H. Figuarts Fire! And don’t forget to speak with your Tamashii Web Exclusive middleman soon as well about getting orders in for S.H. Figuarts Bikel!

While you’re at it please do yourself a favor and give Tokkei Winspector a watch. Friend of the site and all around great person @WeeabooShogun on twitter has been blazing through subbing the series for the first time ever for the last year. Until recently Metal Heroes weren’t picked by sub-groups very often so it’s truly a treat to see this one given the proper attention it deserves. Head on over to the Sailor Otaku Weablog for links to episodes!

A brief teaser for the first episode of Power Rangers Dino SuperCharge has been posted online!

The Rangers believe their work is done after they’ve defeated Sledge and his evil monsters. Unbeknownst to them, an even more powerful monster is picking up where Sledge left off and is closer to the Rangers than they think…

“My Life Will Burn Bright!”

Hot off the heels of last year’s Drive Type Speed, Medicom just unveiled the next RAH Genesis 1/6th release with RAH Genesis Ghost Ore Damashii currently in the works.

Unlike the smaller Figuarts version coming out in April, RAH Genesis Ghost will have a light up LED feature in addition to having a functional Ghost Driver with swappable Musashi and Ore Damashii Eyecons, the GanGan Sabre, and a custom display stand personalized with his symbol. 

All of this will retail for a rather pricey 35,000 yen before shipping, the piece will be shipping out in November 2016.

It’s “more news than you ever wanted to get in a single day” mode around here lately but that’s okay! After looking at some images of the upcoming DX ZyuohKing, we now have a demonstration video! Check it out below!

So how does that change your opinion on Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger, or does it? Sound off in discussion!

under Super Sentai

The first image of the villains that will face off against Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger has surfaced online!

These are the Deathgalians, vicious aliens who attached the animal heroes’ home dimension of Zyuland.

*The purple-cube monster is named Azard.
*The large-headed creature is called Cuval.
*The green female is know as Nalia
*And the commander of all (the one sitting in white) is Ginis.

The Deathgalians are supposedly participants in a vicious contest known as the Blood Game that involves hunting all life on a chosen world. After 99 successful Blood Games, they have selected Earth to be the home of their 100th hunt.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuohger news!
