We reported some time ago that FUNimation had picked up distribution rights to the first GARO anime series, Seal of Flames.

An official English dub of the series (referred to simply as Garo: The Animation) has finally been announced, and will be added to their online streaming services beginning March 15, 2016.

Sadly, no cast details have been provided at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Garo news!

The folks at IGN showed off a brand new trailer for the Power Rangers Dino Supercharge premiere which begins airing on January 30th on Nickelodeon. If you haven’t seen it yet – check it out! As always, there’s a chance this may be released a week early on Nick.com, as all previous premieres (whether season or mid-season) have been in the past. We’ll keep you up to date! Till then – check out this trailer!

Some key takeaways – looks like Snide and Heckyl are indeed two separate entities. Also – things look to get serious as we see Heckyl walking in to the base of our heroes! And for those who like to speculate – on Heckyl‘s collar are two distinct colors – red and blue – could the human form of Snide, aka Heckyl, become the Talon Ranger, also known as Deathryuger from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger? Time will tell! The premiere of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge is January 30th!

under Power Rangers, Power Rangers Movie, Toy Fair

The folks of Bandai UK will be in attendance at this year’s Toy Fair UK as well as the Nuremberg Germany Toy Fair. They’ve taken out some pages in local UK magazines to announce this as well as state what exactly is to be expected this 2016 for Bandai products.

As will come as no surprise – the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie 2017 toys will begin to see release late in 2016, as well as Power Rangers Dino Supercharge. The article goes on to mention that promotion of the Power Rangers Dino Supercharge franchise is seen as a majority priority for Bandai UK, as new episodes of the show will begin airing in Summer 2016. At this year’s Toy Fair UK they will unveil new product for the line of figures.

Of note – this article still states January 13th, 2017 as the launch of the movie. We have since learned that the movie was pushed back once again until March 24th, 2017. Either way, this is great news for our friends in the UK! A special thanks to Red Ranger, better known on the network as Silver Optimus, for finding the news and sharing the scans!

And don’t forget – as usual, TokuNation.com will be at this year’s Toy Fair in New York City. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the show, which begins Saturday, February 13th.

under Godzilla

Despite Tamashii Nations delving into more and more properties in recent years, it’s been a rather quiet time for the S.H. MonsterArts line. After the exciting coverage of Godzilla‘s Heisei era and a quick delve into the Millennium films, Legendary Pictures 2014 film and even the Gamera franchise, the line seemed to stop altogether with only a few repaints trickling through.

However things may be about to change, with the Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA Facebook page teasing a release that’s sure to excite. After cryptically posting the poster for the 2001 film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant All-Out Monsters Attack! (also known to fans as) on their Facebook page earlier in the week, today they have also released an image of foot looking rather like that of Godzilla’s. Better yet is that the accompanying post states that the foot is articulated, which hopefully indicates a fully poseable figure rather than a statue (a direction some have speculated the SMHA line may have been heading towards).

Is the 2001 GMK version of Godzilla about to join the S.H. MonsterArts line? Bluefin also revealed that the figure will be going up for preorder next week so be sure to check back for more news!

After a trademark popped up a few days ago, fans began wondering if we’d at last learned about the next Power Rangers season.

Well, wonder no more! A new Press Release in BusinessWire officially reveals Power Rangers: Ninja Steel! Furthermore, the press release confirms Saban has renewed its contract with Nickelodeon and the network will continue airing Power Rangers until at least 2018.

Of particular note, this press release also gives us a brief story outline for the new series!


Saban’s Power Rangers Ninja Steel starts deep in space, where Zircon is the reigning champion of the most popular intergalactic game show in the universe, and monsters battle to prove who is the mightiest warrior. Zircon is determined to become invincible by controlling the mythical Spirit Crystal, which contains six supernatural Ninja Power Throwing Stars. The only thing standing in his way is a new team of heroic teenage Power Rangers who possess the Spirit Crystal. The evil Zircon sends his warrior contestants down to Earth to steal the Crystal, where each epic battle against the Rangers is broadcast throughout the universe. Together, the Rangers must master their arsenal of Throwing Stars, Zords and Megazords, each made of legendary ninja steel, in order to stop this evil threat and save our planet from destruction.

Ninja Steel’s executive producer is again fan-favorite Chip Lynn, whose efforts on Power Rangers Dino Charge were greatly welcomed by the fandom. Based on this name and description, we can assume Ninja Steel will be using footage from the 39th Super Sentai Series, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.

Looks like some exiting adventures ahead for Power Rangers fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ninja Steel news!
