Emergency, Dekaranger!

With Tamashii Nations 2016 this upcoming weekend we hope to see many reveals, both expected and unexpected. Those reveals used to include Super Sentai figuarts but sadly that line has been shelved, for now. But it gives us pause to go back and on occasion reexamine some of our favorite releases as well. So today we’re featuring a brand new Gallery 2.0 Re-do with S.H. Figuarts Deka Red!

Dekaranger has always been one of my personal favorite Sentai. So seeing the characters done in figuarts styling was like a dream come true. Sadly not a fully realized dream, but the releases we did get are still fantastic and that’s what encouraged me to finally do this reshoot of Deka Red. The Dekaranger body type has an impressive range that still holds up to new figures. But the accessory count here is perhaps the best thing about this figure. SP License, both Magnums, multiple hands, even the ludicrous power of the Akibrangers the Dekawoppa!? These were the glory days.

We’ve attached a selection to this post but you can enjoy the complete 80 image Gallery 2.0 of S.H. Figuarts Deka Red after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

The biggest Tamashii event of the year, Tamashii Nations 2016 is happening this weekend from 10/28-10/30. As is always the case we can expect quite a number of new reveals, and perhaps a good number of those reveals to never see the light of day again.

However, according to the event site, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be fully revealed during what’s being dubbed the “Tamashii Hour” by the event staff. A very small and brief teaser can be found for this figuart on the site itself.

This exciting development is likely not the only one to come out of this weekend. As more information and photos from the event begin to circulate we’ll keep you up to date every step of the way!

*Ex-Aid gains the Gekitotsu Robots Gashat and becomes Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Robots Action Gamer LVL3.
*Brave obtains the DoReMiFa Beat Gashat so he can transform into Kamen Rider Brave Beat Quest Gamer LVL3

And we’re back! After a brief hiatus as well as our special all-star 500th gallery celebration, we’re back to regularly scheduled programming. And the first gallery to kick off the next generation of TokuNation reviews is S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form!

S.S. Kuuga Ultimate was a recent web exclusive release that finally forced us to reexamine and trade up from the ancient original Ultimate release. Seihou Kuuga Ultimate is perhaps one of the most powerful looking figuarts, straight out of the box, I’ve ever seen. You can practically feel it in the sculpt. This is an excellently designed and executed figure that belongs in any collection. But Kuuga fans in particular will be able to feels Godai’s essence oozing from this figure. It’s a must own.

In the full gallery linked below you can enjoy over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this article, and enjoy! We’ll be back in a few days with another Gallery 2.0 re-do with another classic release, S.H. Figuarts Deka Red!
