Power Rangers Movie Alpha 5 Revealed!
Once again IGN has scooped the world with a brand new reveal from the 2017 Power Rangers Movie! And this time it’s none other than our favorite lovable sidekick Alpha 5! From IGN:
Alpha 5 has a more modern and organic look that uses darker hues of the familiar red and blue colors of the original design. SNL alum Bill Hader will be providing the voice for Alpha 5. The Emmy nominated actor also helped bring another robot to life as a vocal consultant for BB-8 on The Force Awakens. Hader joins Elizabeth Banks (as Rita Repulsa) and Bryan Cranston (as Zordon) in the film, which hits theaters on March 24, 2017.
Given what we’ve now seen and found out about the 2017 Power Rangers Movie, just how excited are you for it, and for Alpha 5 himself? Please, let us know! Sound off in the comments below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto (Original Release) Gallery
“Cast Off: Change Beetle!”
A dark reflection arrives in our latest retro Kamen Rider Kabuto gallery, it’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto (Original Release)! This classic release predates the recent Tamashii Nations exclusive Shinkocchou Seihou Dark Kabuto by a number of years. And while it’s clearly been outclasses by the S.S. release now, we thought it was the opportune time to take a look at it.
Dark Kabuto is a decently extensive repaint of the original Kamen Rider Kabuto figuart. Though the detailing on his chest and back isn’t quite as sharp as the new Seihou release. As with many other figuarts from this period he tends to be a bit off model, a little too lanky, and lacks a number of accessories. But on a budget, the original Dark Kabuto may fill the gap in your Kabuto collection.
We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but feel free to peruse the complete 40 images gallery after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Be sure to tune in next month during our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway to see our new S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto gallery as well!
