SHURIKEN HENGEN!

Just when you think Bandai’s done releasing Nin Shruikens , they throw one more at us: tying into the release of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger: Ninnin Girls VS Boys Final Wars in the coming months,Premium Bandai’s announced that the MidoNinger Shuriken will be included with a limited edition version of Blu Ray release, similar to the Kamen Rider Gaim V Cinema packages.

Pre orders for the blu ray set will begin at the end of March 2016 and will run till June 2016 with a suggested retail price of 10,260 yen.

After a few months of grainy scans and guesswork, we have our first good look at DX Wild Zyuoh King! This image was first circulated by @TokusatsuPapa on twitter.

As we can see from this latest image, Wild Zyuoh King incorporates every cube revealed thus far including recent reveals like Mogura & Kuma. The only absence is the yet unseen Cube Rhino. The combination seems to be taking a few pointers from the ToQger playbook with the leg extensions and side mounts, but the arms go in an entirely different direction. We aren’t sure yet if this mech skipped leg day or arms, but it certainly looks interesting!

under Power Rangers

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series by BOOM! Studios is so successful that they’ve chosen to release a limited series focusing on just one single Power Ranger … and that’s been announced before Issue #1 has even released yet!

According to the LA Times in an exclusive article, BOOM! Studios and Saban Brands have partnered to release a six issue limited series featuring none other than the original Pink Ranger titled “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink“. This limited series will focus squarely on Kimberly Hart, also known as the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger. With the recent success of both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue #0, as well as more female-central comic books like Squirrel Girl, Thor, Jem and the Holograms, and Spider Gwen it comes as no surprise to see a female-centered comic book release.

Your creative team behind the book is none other than Brenden Fletcher (Batgirl, Gotham Academy, Black Canaray) and Kelly Thompson (Jem and the Holograms, Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps) as writers, and the art duties will be belong to Daniele Di Nicuolo (Mirror’s Edge: Exordium).

The comic is slated to release in May 2016 and continue on for five additional issues. What do you think? Will you be picking it up? Also – no details on variant covers just yet, but if we were to make a wager, we’d say it’s a safe bet to plan on dropping some change to pick up more than a single cover.

Ever wondered what it’ll be like to live in a world where giant monster attacks are frequent? Well now you can thanks to a new Toku themed survival video game coming out of the woodwork with City Shrouded in Darkness having been recently been announced.

City Shrouded in Darkness puts players in the role of a civilian trying to survive a Kaiju battle that erupted in the middle of a city. Various franchises will be featured in this unique game, with Ultraman already being confirmed and Godzilla currently rumoured(though unconfirmed at the time of this writing) via the Gormaru Island Facebook page, the same face book page also posted a teaser which can be viewed by making the jump here.

No release date or plans for localization for the game’s been announced just quite yet, though it’s been confirmed for PS Vita and PS4 consoles exclusively.

At last we get to see the changer and main weapon for Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger‘s Sixth Ranger- Zyuoh TheWorld!

*Up first is Zyuoh TheLight, a flashlight-based device with a cube base that rotates to channel different animal spirits.

*Next up comes Zyuoh The GunRod! This is an orange laser rifle that can also transform into a fishing rod.

TheLight appears to represent Zyuoh TheWorlds’ Rhino spirit while The GunRod channels the Crocodile. Fans have speculated that another device (for the Wolf) will be released at a later point but unfortunately nothing is confirmed at this time.

Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on the 40th Super Sentai Series! And feel free to join our Ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts about this interesting arsenal!
