The first images from the next wave of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger merchandise have hit the Internet, revealing some remarkable new entries for the Dino Knight Super Sentai!

Highlights from this new catalog include:

*The personal Kishiryu of the Sixth Ranger, RyuSoul Gold! This newcomer is a Mosasaurus-based figure called MosaRex! MosaRex can combine with the previously revealed DimeVolcano for a battle combination known as SpinoThunder.

*MosaRex also has a unique battle configuration- KishiRyu Neptune! This Mecha is armed with a pair of mini-drones known as AmmoKnuckles– which appear to be based on ammonites.
KishiRyu Neptune & KishiRyuOh can combine to form the strongest Dino Knight yet- Giganto KishiRyuOh!

But Gold’s Kishiryu aren’t the only newcomers this time around:

*A pair of Velociraptor-based Kishiryu will be introduced; they are known as ShineRaptor & ShadowRaptor with a combined form called CosmoRaptor. The Raptors can combine with KishiRyuOh to form new weapons & appear to grant a new battle armor form for RyuSoul Red as well.

*A Pachycephalosaurus styled Kishiryu rounds out the lineup, named Pachygaru. Combining with KishiRyuOh unlocks powerful punching attacks.

Last but certainly not least is the Movie-exclusive Mecha! This is a black and gold rerelease of Tyramigo with a new dragon motif- officially titled KishiRyuJin!

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Super Sentai fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all RyuSoulger reveals!

SHIFT INTO TURBO!

Our friends at Shout! Factory will finally be releasing the much requested Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie for the first time on Blu-Ray, here’s the official synopsis for the movie straight from Shout! Factory’s website:

“A high-spirited fantasy adventure …” – The Hollywood Reporter

It’s the Power Rangers to the rescue as they race to save the planet Earth from certain destruction at the hands of a ruthless band of evil space aliens. The evil space alien Divatox plans to unleash the dark forces of Maligore, a powerful, fiery creature imprisoned inside a volcano on the magical island of Muiranthias. She can reach the island only by traveling through the dangerous Nemesis Triangle, and for that, she needs the special powers of the magician Lerigot. But Lerigot flees to Earth, to see the only people who can stand against Divatox and her evil plan — the Power Rangers. Along with the new Blue Ranger, their turbo-powered Zords, and the unexpected help of original Power Rangers Kimberly and Jason, the Power Rangers set out on their most thrilling and dangerous adventure yet!

“Unleash the Beast!”

Was it chance or fate that Devon Daniels just happened to sneak into Grid Battleforce headquarters on the day that the villainous Evox infiltrated it? Planning to turn the soon to be Power Rangers into his avatar puppets, Evox struck and succeeded with two potential heroes. But thanks to Devon, Ravi, & Zoey, Evox hasn’t won yet. To stop the avatars Blaze & Roxy the latest generation of teenagers with attitude harness the power of Morph X to become the Power Rangers!

The Beast Morphers toyline has officially kicked off in Canada and the US! Meaning collector’s all over are beginning to see these toys in the wild for the first time. Some of the first products being spotted at most retail stores are the 6″ Basic Figure Wave 1 assortment. The Red Ranger from this assortment kicks the line off really nicely and sets the bar a lot higher than any ranger figure’s from Bandai America ever did at this price point. The new 6″ scale is a welcome change to most, there’s better articulation than what we used to get, no more steroid muscle proportions and these figure’s actually come with multiple accessories! Like the Beast X Saber, Cheetah Beast Blaster, and a Morph X Key! 

We’ve assembled over 65 images of the 6″ Basic Red Ranger in this gallery. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our full review thread. Our next Beast Morphers gallery will feature none other than Cyber Villain Blaze!

After some hiccups with the launch of the game, Battle for the Grid appears to be moving along smoothly once again. nWay has just announced via the official @Battle4TheGrid twitter account that a new set of 3 rangers will be added to the game in the near future as FREE DLC!

The DLC includes Dragon Armor Trini from the Boom! Studios comics, Udonna the White Mystic Ranger of Power Rangers Mystic Force, and the original Cenozoic Blue Ranger of the 2017 Power Rangers movie! While there’s no specific date given for the release of this DLC, the Battle for the Grid teams wants players to know that this is only Update 1 for the game. More is on the way, and these characters are not the season 1 DLC pass characters previously mentioned.

We’ll update this story as soon as more confirmed release details are made available for this DLC pack.

No, it’s not an April Fools Day joke, but rather the revelation of the fourth Future Kamen Rider that will be making an appearance soon on Kamen Rider Zi-O: Kamen Rider Ginga!

We first heard about Kamen Rider Ginga through the last round of catalog scans. In them, it was revealed that Kamen Rider Woz will receive a power-up called Kamen Rider Woz Ginga, and this is our first look at the Rider proper. In addition, P-Bandai recently updated the DX Mirai Driver pre-order page: all Mirai Drivers will now include a plate and noises for Kamen Rider Ginga’s belt!

At the moment, Kamen Rider Ginga’s story, powers, as well as the man behind the suit, remain a mystery. But stay tuned and we’ll be sure to update you as we know more in the future.
