under Kamen Rider

If you’re a fan of the current Kamen Rider Amazons streaming Amazon Prime series, then hold onto your seat, 2 very exciting pieces of news have just broken.

First up, as reported on by the Hollywood Reporter & Deadline, Kamen Rider Amazons season 1 (along with a small host of other programs) will begin streaming internationally on Amazon’s Prime service! That means that US fans as well as those of many other nationalities will be able to stream the series legally outside of Japan.

Certainly not be outdone by this news, Amazon Japan has also just revealed plans for a 2nd season of Kamen Rider Amazons set for production and release in 2017! We would assume that it will also eventually be available on the US streaming side. In either case these are both truly exciting pieces of news. Stay tuned for updated!

under Power Rangers

The Limited Edition Legacy Dragonzord figure has been released and it is a beautiful piece of black and gold plastic! We’ve posted up a full gallery of the figure, including the Battle Mode and Armor Mode which combine with our Limited Edition Legacy Megazord figure (click here to check out that gallery!).

Is this recent Legacy release worth the price tag of $80? Are there any improvements since the first release of the Legacy Dragonzord? Could this be an alternate universe Zeo Gold Ranger Zord? All these answers and more in our gallery and review of the Limited Edition Legacy Dragonzord!

under Power Rangers

At Toyfair several months ago, Bandai America announced that a new line of Power Rangers Legacy action figures was in the works, featuring characters from across the franchise’ history.

Now at last the first images of this new Legacy figure line have been found online! Early listings on Walmart.com (which have sadly been removed) showed off several detailed images of action figures based on-

*Mighty Morphin Red Ranger
*Mighty Morphin Green Ranger
*Ninja Storm Red Ranger
*Ninja Storm Blue Ranger
*And Ninja Storm Yellow Ranger!

Sadly the price of these new Legacy figures has not been revealed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

under Kamen Rider

The new magazine scans have finally given fans of Kamen Rider Ghost a look at the hero’s final form: Mugen Damashii! This elegant crystalline form is created when Takeru’s 7 closest friends unite their emotions to create the Mugen Eyecon– the most powerful Eyecon ever!

Mugen has 7 unique attacks powered by his creators’ emotions, one for each configuration of the GanGan Saber:
*Yorokobi (Joy) Stream – Naginata Mode
*Ikari (Anger) Slash – Dual Mode
*Isama (Valiant) Shoot – Gun Mode
*Tanoshii (Fun) Strike – Arrow Mode
*Kanashimi (Sadness) Break – Sword Mode
*Love Bomber – Hammer Mode
*Shinnen (Faith) Impact – Rifle Mode

Definitely some interesting possibilities ahead for Kamen Rider Ghosts’ twilight episodes! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Ghostly news!

under Super Sentai

A new round of magazine scans has begun hitting the web, letting us see what lies ahead for Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!

And this month, all the focus is on Zyuoh TheWorld! This upcoming new Ranger gets explored in fantastic detail, with special highlights including:

*TheWorlds’ three unique forms, Rhino (his “standard” configuration), Crocodile (which has tremendous attach strength) and Wolf (the fastest form).
*Zyuoh TheWorld can perform a surprise ability known as Great Instincts Awaken! This allows him to grow rhino horns, wolf claws AND a crocodile tail in place of one arm.
*We also get some early shots of Zyuoh TheWorlds’ Mecha, Tousai ZyuOh– a fearsome machine formed by combining Cube Wolf, Crocodile and Rhino.

Last but certainly not least, the scans have also revealed this new Rangers’ backstory- but we will keep that detail off the front page out of respect for fans who wish to go in unspoiled. Join in our ZyuohTheWorld Discussion Thread if you wish to know the whole truth!

And be sure to stay tuned to TokuNation for all Zyuohger News!

under Power Rangers Movie

A plethora of new behind-the-scenes images from the filming of Lionsgate’s Power Rangers reboot movie have surfaced online!

These action shots give us our BEST look yet at the new Red Ranger suit– and proves that these ARE physical costumes, not purely digital effects as some fans have speculated.

In addition, the Red Ranger is seen fighting two stuntmen in greenscreen suits- meaning some of the enemy forces (likely the iconic Putty Patrol) WILL be computer-generated effects.

Be sure to stop by our Ongoing Movie Reboot Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this cinematic adventure!

under Power Rangers

After months of teasing and speculation, we finally have an official logo for the 24th season of Power Rangers!

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.

Saban’s Power Rangers Ninja Steel will begin airing in early 2017 on Nickelodeon! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ninja Steel news!

under Ultraman

Bandai has just updated it’s Ultraman 50th Anniversary page with a full set of official images for S.H. Figuarts Zetton!

This figure was just revealed in last weeks’ Tamashii Pick Up so there’s nothing new we haven’t seen before. But it’s nice to get a full look at this upcoming release. Zetton appears to at least include an effect part for interacting with S.H. Figuarts Ultraman, though not much else. We’ll update you if that changes.

S.H. Figuarts Zetton will be released in October as a retail release for 6480 yen.

under Godzilla

The S.H.Monster Arts line dives into yet another era of Godzilla, this one based on his Godzilla VS Biollante appearance.

S.H.Monster Arts Godzilla 1989 commands a very high price point with a suggested MSRB of 19,980 yen.

But what separates this King of Monsters from previous releases are a few built in features activated via a set of switches built into the figure’s neck: according to the product page the first function activates an LED gimmick which lights up the spines and mouth to replicate the iconic Atomic Roar attack, the second function seems to be a sound feature which plays BGMs straight from the movie.

S.H.Monster Arts Godzilla 1989 appears to be a standard release, and will drop sometime in October 2016.
