Thanks to hot new listing posted on the toysrus.ca site, we have some brand new looks at the upcoming Power Rangers Interactive Movie Megazord! This fresh batch of photos as well as the product description give us some much needed clarity on exactly what the interactive features of this Megazord are:

The Power Rangers Interactive Movie Megazord is ready to take down evil! The Interactive Movie Megazord comes with five Power Rangers mini figures from the Power Rangers Movie for epic adventures. The feature loaded Interactive Megazord has eight features including: expandable wings, cannon and sword, battle and flight sounds, lights in the head and feet for enhanced realism, a light-up Morphin Grid, and five individual cockpits for each included ranger figure.

What do you think of these new images and details for the 2017 Movie Interactive Megazord?  Let us know in the thread comments. And don’t forget that the 2017 Power Rangers Movie releases in just over 4 months on March 24th, 2017!

Let’s Game, Super Game, Ultra Game, what’s your name?!

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is well underway and so far we’ve seen a lot of positive reactions to the series. Now that we’ve finally had a chance to absorb some of what the series has to offer ourselves, we’re ready to share our gallery & review of the first figure in this line, LVUR01 Level Up Rider Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

LVUR Ex-Aid is the first entry in the so-called gimmick line this year. An interesting figure, Ex-Aid manages to transform from his SD style Level 1 mode via a hollowed out shell, and assume his more iconic Level 2 Action Gamer form. As gimmick lines go, this one may not blow you out of the water, but there are some nice changes this go around. Level 1 may be mostly immobile, but it isn’t without it’s charm, and Level 2 takes full advantage of the standard articulation Bandai applies to the retail gimmick line every year (plus some double jointed knees!). And of course each form is armed with their version of the standard Gashacon Breaker weapon!

We’ve attached a selection to this post but you can enjoy over 90 images in the full thread below! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post! Mighty Critical Strike!

If you’ve been to the last couple Official Power Morphicons then you’ve no doubt seen the folks from Fujiyama Ichiban – a tokusatsu web series on YouTube created in the United States by former staff of Super Sentai from Japan and Big Bad Beetleborgs from Saban Entertainment.

Their next goal – to bring about a feature film with a theme geared towards adults! Joining the team of Fujiyama Ichiban is Michi Yamato. You may not know him by name but you’ve likely seen some of the series that he’s been involved in – various Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series including Bioman and Space Sheriff Gavan. Upon moving to the United States, he joined the team of Saban’s Masked Rider and Big Bad Beetleborgs, and has since done work on such big films like Hugh Jackman’s The Wolverine.

On the design team for the suits is Kenichi Muraeda, known for his work on the Kamen Rider spirits manga as well as designer for Kikaider: Reboot.

Illustrator and project-backing toy designer is Tsuyoshi Nonaka, whose previous works include Power Rangers series design working with Bandai America and Bandai Japan.

A number of other individuals with histories working with the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series are involved, from stunts to costume and prop making. VFX contributors include individuals who have worked on movies such as Harry Potter and Transformers. Michi Yamato states that while working for TOEI or Saban there were rules they had to follow – no stabbing, no blood, and no kicks to anywhere but the chest. With this, a realistic tokusatsu hero can be born with fight scenes that make more sense to the modern adult.

There are a number of great rewards you can choose from. The project is seeking a grand total of $137,000 USD in order to meet the costs of pre-production and post-production. Michi Yamato has commented on everything from why he wants to do this to why he’s seeking that amount of money and a breakdown of where all the funds would go.

I am Boost! The Rumbling Ghost! Go Fight, Go Fight, Go, GO!

We’re a little late to the party with this one, but we’re happy to finally take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Toucon Boost Damashii! The 3rd release in the Kamen Rider Ghost line, Toucon Boost is also Ghosts’ first real upgraded form. So what’s the verdict?

If you’ve been a fan so far of the Ghost & Specter releases then we can happily report that you’ll be looking forward to much of the same with Toucon Boost. While this figure doesn’t necessarily mix things up much, it does manage to take a basic body we’ve seen twice over, and things interesting. And we finally have a weapon that can really interact with the included Eyecons in the form of the Sunglasseslasher!
