It has been announced today via a press release that Saban Brands has reached an agreement with Nickelodeon to keep our spandex heroes on the kid’s network for another two years past the finale of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel. The agreement should, if our assumptions are correct, carry the brand for the next series after Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, which is heavily favored to be an adaptation of Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, which just finished airing in Japan.

While some fans will be skeptical at the continued partnership between Saban Brands and Nickelodeon – many fans blame the drop in the show’s quality on rumored Nickelodeon mandates – it at least guarantees that Power Rangers will live to see it’s 26th and 27th season.

What this means now, for the rest of us, is that a release of information on the 26th season of Power Rangers is imminent. Will we be flying through space with an Uchu Sentai Kyuranger adaptation? Or will we be calling upon animals, in some way shape or form, with an adaptation of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger? Stay tuned!

In partnership with Brave Frontier 2, which releases for mobile in Japan on February 22nd, the cast of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger has come together again with a special promotional episode titled “This is Brave! The Battle Frontier!”, numbered as 33.5.

We’ve just seen the first look at the double agent Lupin-X and Patren-X and now we have our first look at his mecha – the X-Emperor! We also get a look at some new VS Mecha that will be joining the team. We have a construction crane that doubles as an arm; a stealth bomber that doubles as a shield; as well as the two core mecha that form the body for X-Emperor’s two forms – one for Lupinranger and one for Patranger.

Click the title of the story for the images. Thanks to @TheRealMattHunt and @SpecialForm12 for sharing the images.

Thanks to magazine scans originating from 4chan we have our first look at the fourth – or is it the seventh? – Ranger to join the Lupinranger vs Patranger series. Seemingly a double agent, the newest member has two names – Lupin-X (Silver) and Patren-X (Gold) – depending on which team he’s fighting with.

Using his morpher the X-Changer the X-Train Fire allows him to morph in to Patren-X while the X-Train Thunder allows him to morph in to Lupin-X. He can also summon the X-Emperor mecha when things get a little too big to handle.

Big thanks to @Evilspacewhale for the initial heads up and @SpecialForm12 for the translations. Are you excited yet? Sound off in the discussion thread!

Thanks to recent 3rd quarter toy catalogue scans we have our first look at some of the new forms coming to Kamen Rider Build in the coming months! First up are two brand new forms for both Build himself and Kamen Rider Cross-Z, named Kamen Rider Build Genius Form and Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma respectively!

Kamen Rider Build Genius Form is the titular Rider’s final form, with Sento using the power of unique Genius Full Bottle to harness the power of all 60 Full Bottles. Meanwhile Cross-Z’s new form will see him return to using the Build Driver alongside a new add-on device rumoured to be called the Magma Knuckle.

Finally these scans reveal the appearance of yet another Rider – Kamen Rider Evol! This mysterious new figure will transform using an augmented version of the Build Driver named the EvolDriver, unlocking the more powerful Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole when used in tandem with the EvolTrigger – a new version of the Hazard Trigger.

According to the scans, toys for Cross-Z Magma will be released in April, with the Evol Driver following in May before the EvolTrigger and DX Genius Bottle are released in June.

Check out the full selection of images after the jump and let us know your thoughts about these additions to the current Kamen Rider series!

“50th tactic”

Thanks to the Gashat Gear Dual Beta, Taiga Hanaya has attained a new level of power! It’s time to simulate some bang bangs, sink some battleships, and give new meaning to what Kancolle is with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Snipe Simulation Gamer Level 50!

Snipe Level 50 is now our third outing with this mold and I have to say, it may be my favorite yet. While the new Simulation Gamer armaments may seem bulky and obtrusive, in reality this figure is every bit dynamic to me as the previous two Snipes. Maybe even more so. Snipe Level 50 has gained two new battleship halves in lieu of fists, and two sets of shoulder mounted cannons/turrets to round out his arsenal. These surprisingly articulated parts go along way to selling me on this release far more than I ever imagined. While lite on accessories (just one), Snipe Level 50 is a fantastic addition to any Ex-Aid collection.

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post, but you can also read up on our full length review after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with more new galleries from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, Kamen Rider W, and more!
