The past few days have given us some impressive teasers for the next Kamen Rider series, but now at last we have a look at the first official bits of merchandise for Kamen Rider Zi-O!

A photo for the next Rider Hero Series vinyl figures has been posted online, showing off the new Kamen Rider Zi-O and the counterpart Rider, tentatively known as Kamen Rider Gates. This is our best look yet at the new suits for this Kamen Rider project!

Be sure to join in our Kamen Rider Zi-O Rumor Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this new Kamen Rider series!

In case you missed it, Kamen Rider Zi-O had it’s big showing a just a few days ago with the first round of toy catalog scans have appeared online. At the time of the posting, only the Gashapon scans were available to us but J-Hero.com posted a potential list for the first quarter DX Toy releases.

While J-Hero claims that this list was provided to him by a vendor, we have no way of proving if this list is legitimate or not so, for now, please do take this bit of news with a grain of salt, and as always: stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you with more updates on this as it becomes available.

under Power Rangers

Last month we received a teaser for a new Power Rangers Legacy figure exclusive to GameStop.

Now, after much speculation this new Legacy figure is at last available to order!

The figure in question is a Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger and includes the Dragon Shield, Dragon Dagger, Blade Blaster & Power Sword. An excellent “last-hurrah” of sorts for the Legacy series!

Legacy Armored Red Ranger is currently scheduled for release in November 2018! The price is a very modest $22.99 USD before shipping and handling!

“Zero Gear.”

Kiriya Kujou once made the ultimate sacrifice in the battle against Kuroto Dan. But in a universe full of game worlds, living viruses, and super deformed super heroes, it’s no wonder that the coroner with a cause would return! Making a return to the battlefield in our latest gallery, is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo Bike Gamer Level 0!

Lazer Turbo once again utilizes the popular and wonderful Ex-Aid body type to full effect. A solid mold with ample articulation, Lazer looks just as stylish as ever. Though armed lightly with the Gashacon Sparrow, it can split into it’s Sickle Modes as well and even features an improved connection tab. Looking stylish riding himself (Lazer Level 2) or teaming up with himself (Lazer Level 5), Lazer Level 0 is another welcome addition to your Ex-Aid collection.

We’ve attached the complete 50 image gallery to this post and you can check out the full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a number of galleries from Garo, Ultraman Orb, Kamen Rider Build, and the original Kamen Rider soon!

INSTALL, MEGARANGER!

Well, it’s certainly beginning to look like the year of Megaranger as we have a double whammy of toy reveals. Not to be outdone by the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer & Battleraizer shown previously, but Super Minipla will also be diving into Denji Sentai Megaranger. We have our first look at Super Minipla Galaxy Mega & Delta Mega in grey prototype form.  While not much about these kits are known, we can only assume that they’ll retain full transformation from their DX counterparts and the ability to combine into a little Super Galaxy Mega.

At the moment, no release date or price was given but stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll be sure to provide you updates as they become available.

It’s that time of year again folks! Kamen Rider Build is sadly drawing to a close, and as we say our farewells a new hero rises to take his place: Kamen Rider Zi-O who was revealed earlier in the week.

Not long after the reveal, our first toy catalog scans are beginning to surface online thanks to Twitter user @Tokullector and translations from @SpecialForm12

A few things worth noting from the translations:

  • Kamen Rider Zi-O’s belt is called the Jikku Driver
  • The second Rider shown previously is called Kamen Rider Gates
  • The form changes are called ArmorTime, both Gates and Zi-O uses RideWatches to activate these forms.
  • Kamen Rider Zi-O has ArmorTimes based on Build and Ex-Aid while Gates will use forms based on Ghost and Drive.
  • Zi-O’s default sidearm is called the JikanGrade and will have both a sword and gun mode.

Do note that what we are seeing are scans for the Gashapon toys, we’ll be seeing scans for the DX stuff in the next few days. In the meantime, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you more updates as they become available.

Bandai Japan has put up an official product page for the next entry in the Super Sentai Artisan line!

This set is priced at 12500 Yen before shipping and handling! These MegaReal Artisan items are currently scheduled for release in November 2018!

under Godzilla

Entertainment Weekly has posted the first image for the upcoming 2019 Legendary Pictures film- Godzilla: King Of The Monsters!

Director Michael Dougherty gives some insight into this film, a sequel to 2014’s “Godzilla” release-


“The world is reacting to Godzilla in the same way we would react to any other terrifying incident, in that we are overreacting,” says Dougherty, whose previous credits include the horror movie Krampus. Godzilla hasn’t been seen since that destructive finale, “but there’s paranoia and endless speculation about whether he is the only one out there or whether we’re threatened by others like his kind.”

In addition, it seems Godzilla might not be the ONLY Kaiju in this story!


King of the Monsters makes it enormously clear that there are other big beasts, notably the three-headed King Ghidorah, the giant insect Mothra, and another flying monster, Rodan, who in the original Japanese movies could create hurricane-force winds.

“Rodan’s been kind of a sidekick character, but I’ve always had a soft spot for him” says Dougherty. “In a lot of ways he’s more powerful than Godzilla. He’s like this winged A-bomb. I think we’ve done him justice.” But let’s not forget Godzilla himself, who reveals he has the ability to exhale “atomic breath.” Can Dougherty expand on that description? “Not without giving away too much,” he laughs. “But it takes place at a very key moment and it’s a sort of call to arms.”

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters is currently scheduled for release on May 31 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on the Legendary MonsterVerse!

“Install, Megaranger!”

In a surprise reveal, the next pair of Super Sentai Artisan releases has just been unearthed! Via @erasuterism on Twitter we have the first official images of the Degitaizer & Battleraizer from Denji Sentai Megaranger! 

This impressive set recreates both devices to the finest details including the Battleraizer’s cradle. But more importantly this pair has an incredible new feature billed as “voice recognition”, there’s a BGM mode to play music from the show, and there are numerous lines of show dialogue built in.  We don’t currently have release details or pricing but as soon as we do, most likely when the page for the set goes live, we’ll be sure to update you.

We have a better look at the suit of the upcoming Kamen Rider Zi-O! As an anniversary season it does seem that Kamen Rider Zi-O will be utilizing past Riders/Legend Riders as part of the power up motif.

A second form is also present although at the time of this post we are unsure if it is a second Kamen Rider or if this is a different form (think A.M. vs P.M.). We won’t have to wait too much longer for more information so stay tuned for more news on Kamen Rider Zi-O!
