Kamen Ride,
DECADE!

It’s time once again for TokuNation to take a look at a brand new update to a classic (if divisive) character with S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade! The 5th release in Bandai’s line of high end, premium style figuarts, Decade seeks to rectify the mistakes of the previous 2 releases this character received.

In every aspect where the original Decade figuarts failed, Seihou Decade succeeds perfectly. This figure has proportions, colors, features, & accessories that outclass the old release in every way. We finally have a Decade figuart with not only an accurate head, but a functioning Decadriver (that’s properly painted too!) but also quality Rider Cards to use with it. Decade also comes with all 3 forms of the Ride Booker, he even comes with hands for any situation including for use with the previously released S.H. Figuarts Machine Decader! topping off this selection Decade includes his alternate evil Violent Emotion head from Movie Wars 2010.

We’ve included a selection of images of this fantastic figure with this post, but over 60 await you in the full gallery/review thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all.

Gattai, Dino Mission!

While this might not be the 2 foot tall Megazord seen at an SDCC many, many years ago this is still pretty close none the less, with Premium Bandai having opened up pre orders for the Gigantic Series Daizyujin.

Unlike the Jumbo Megazord however, the Gigantic Series Daizyujin doesn’t appear to have any combination gimmick along with limited articulation but stands at a massive 40cms tall. Gigantic Series Daizyujin also commands a massive price tag, retailing for 24,800 yen before any additional middleman fees and overseas shipping.

Just confirmed for release via a Figure Oh image dump yesterday, S.H. Figuarts Shinkochu Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack now has a full array of official images and pricing!

Gattack is the 2nd rider from Kamen Rider Kabuto, following it’s titular lead, to receive the Shinkochu Seihou treatment. And it looks like he may set the precedent of Shinkochu Seihou secondary riders being Tamashii Web Exclusives. While that may put some off, this figuart is shaping up to be a fantastic release. Using the S.S. Kabuto body as a base, including 3 sets of hands as well as the Gattack Double Calibur combining blades, this rider  is ready to join his premium partner in style.

S.H. Figuarts Shinkochu Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in September for 6480 yen. Get with your preferred middleman service today to secure one!

Full images from the third-quarter merchandise catalog for Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger have been posted online! Exciting new entries in this series include:

*A new Ranger form, Zyuoh Whale! Yamato uses the Whale ChargeGun (a cube that transforms INTO a gun this time) to become even stronger.

*Clearer images of Zyuoh TheWorld’s personal Mecha, Tousai Zyuoh! The massive Cube Rhinos serves as a Carrier for Cube Wolf and Cube Crocodile. Tousai can combine with Wild ZyuohKing to form the 13-block Combo, Wild Tousai King!

*The 4th Auxiliary Mecha, Cube Koumori! This add-on is a bat that becomes a boomerang for the larger combos. In addition, we also have a brief teaser for Cube #0- Cube Condor, a remold of Cube Gorilla to be introduced in the Zyuohgers’ summer movie.

Definitely some exciting adventures ahead for the 40th Super Sentai Series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuohger news!

RESSHA GATTAI!

Ressha Sentai ToQger’s begun airing in Korea under the Power Rangers Train Force name, and a it seems that a rather peculiar item’s been spotted with a gold colored DX ToQoh having seen in the wilds.

At the same time, the same product’s been spotted in Hong Kong where they’re also airing dubbed ToQger as a Toys R Us exclusive item. For those of us overseas, the DX Gold ToQoh’s occasionally been spotted on Ebay for varying prices. Hopefully, with this item being released in Hong Kong it will become more widlely avalaible.

CHANGE…STAG BEETLE!

After being unveiled last year at the Tamashi Festival event, Bandai is finally gearing up to release Kamen Rider Kabuto’s secondary main Rider: S.H.Figuarts Shinkochu Seihou Gatack having once again been shown in the latest Figureoh dump.

Gatack appears to be a Tamashi Web exclusive release, slated to come out sometime September 2016 with a retail price tag of 6480 yen. Among his accessory count will be his signature Gatack Double Calibur.

under Power Rangers, Power Rangers Movie

As we get closer and closer to 2017, more and more information starts to come out regarding the new Power Rangers Movie. Today, various entertainment sites were given a first-look at Elizabeth Banks in her costume for Rita Repulsa.

The first main take away from the getup is the amount of green … you think she has a thing for the color green? This could be some fun foreshadowing for a sequel if the movie does well. If you remember your Mighty Morphin Power Rangers lore, Rita Repulsa eventually creates her own Ranger – the evil Green Ranger!

Join in the discussion and share your thoughts on the new look for the Empress of Evil!

Arise, Daizyujin!

At long last TokuNation is proud to present a really special gallery for you. Following up on our recent 14K Gold Galaxy Megazord Gallery, we have another blast from the past to share. You know the series that started a massively successful franchise in the west, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. You know the series that gave it life, Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Now we’re taking you back to another first, the first black sentai mecha repaint ever. DX Black Daizyujin!

This gorgeous release was on store shelves in 1993 near the end of Zyuranger’s televised run. Undoubtedly many western fans recognize this mecha from the Bandai America Black & Gold Megazord release, and the recent Legacy version of said toy. That vintage release was itself a mere repackaging of Black Daizyujin, the originator of the black repaint concept for Super Sentai & Power Rangers. At one time this set retailed for 8000 yen, today it commands prices in excess of 60,000 yen. But we managed to get an incredible deal on one thanks to the amazing folks as Serious Toyz. So that brings us to this, a massive gallery totaling over 100 images of this rare and unique set. We’ve done our best to show off each Guardian Beast, the combined Dinotanker mode, and the mighty Daizyujin & its’ glorious gold chromed Dinosaur Sword God Horn.

We’ve attached a pretty sizable selection of this images to this post, but the entire gallery can be accessed by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
