“Racer Zord, Cheetah Strike!”

When it’s time to take on a Gigantronic with the Beast Racer Zord, there’s one mighty weapon that’s sure to do the trick. To destroy these viral villains the Red Ranger can call on the Cheetah Beast Blaster for one powerful attack! And now thanks to Hasbro you can call on the power of this mighty blaster to take on your friends with the NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!

Roleplay toys are the bread and butter of just about any modern toyline, and Power Rangers Beast Morphers is no stranger to that either. Whether it’s the Morph-X keys included with 6″ figures, the Beast-X Morpher itself, or the very NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster we’re looking at today. This is a wonderful and pretty nicely scaled roleplay blaster with powerful dart firing action and cheetah to blaster mode transformation! I’d also like to mention that this item was provided to us for FREE, direct from Hasbro. It was sent our way as a part of their generous Beast Morphers Product Review Mailer.

We’ve attached the full gallery to this post but you can also read through our full review of the NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we visit Beast Morphers, we’re taking a walk on the dark side with 6″ Basic Cybervillain Blaze!

Seen most recently at the Tamashii Nations Tokyo event in April, Bandai has just confirmed release details for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gamedeus Cronus!

Taking a roundabout way to getting released, Gamedeus Cronus has been seen in one form or another at several Tamashii events. At one point only the Deus Rusher & Deus Rampart sword & shield were seen, being held by a standard Cronus Figuart. Thankfully today’s new images not only confirm it’s status as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, but also it’s October 2019 release window and 7150 yen price.

Since this is an exclusive, be sure to watch your preferred sites or middleman services for pre-orders.

“The crimson speedy jumper! Rabbit Rabbit!”

First revealed at the Tamashii Nations event back in October, Bandai has just confirmed release details for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form!

This figure has been in a bit of release limbo with it’s sister form Tank Tank as well as Rabbit Dragon and Evol Cobra ever since the October Tamashii event concluded. Thankfully though today’s batch of official images for Build Rabbit Rabbit gives us a fantastic look at this release and confirms it’s status as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Rabbit Rabbit Form will be released in September 2019 for 6480 yen.

Since this is an exclusive, be sure to watch your preferred sites or middleman services for pre-orders.

Once again the world of Kamen Rider Build offers us a surprise!

Fan-favorite supporting hero Kamen Rider Grease will be starring in a New World V-Cinema set after the events of the series, and with a new adventure comes new Rider powers! Thanks to the Grease Perfect Kingdom adapter- used with the Robot FullBottle in the BuildDriver rather than Greases’ traditional SclashDriver– the powers of Kamen Rider Grease Perfect are activated!

This new form is said to contain the powers of Grease’s subordinates, the Hokuto Three Crows. Perfects’ exact combat abilities remain unknown at time of writing.

Kamen Rider Grease: New World is currently scheduled for release in Autumn 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting project!

The massive mecha known as the Time Mazine is the last line of defense between the rebels of 2068 & the dark overlord Oma Zi-O. In order to complete his mission of defeating Oma Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz travels from the future to the present day in his Time Mazine. Taking on Another Riders & Time Jackers alike, the Geiz Time Mazine is a formidable force in the fight to save the future!

The DX Geiz Time Mazine is a straight repaint of the big DX toy of the line this year, the Time Mazine. If you’ve handled the original Time Mazine, then you know exactly what you’re getting. This DX toy winds up being one of the best articulated mecha we’ve gotten in a while (take that Sentai!) and is completely interactive with the Ride Watches of the toyline. This figure is also scaled to work with the Rider Kicks RKF line and even transforms to vehicle mode. While the original Mazine came with the OOO Ridewatch, the Geiz Time Mazine includes the DX Diend Ridewatch!

We’ve attached the full gallery of DX Geiz Time Mazine to this article, but you can also read up on our full review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week, we’ll be back with the Power Rangers Beast Morphers NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!

Sadly, no other information about Kamen Rider Zero-One has been revealed at time of writing. Stay tuned to Tokunation for all Kamen Rider news!

After being displayed last month at Tamashii Nations Tokyo, we finally have a clear look at the official images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O II! The page for this release is now live on P-Bandai.

Scheduled for an October release, Zi-O II’s retail price is 6380 yen. However, as seems to be the case more often these days, don’t let the official pics fool you. While Zi-O II definitely comes with the signature Saikyo Girade, he does *not* include the Zikan Girade. Despite what these images suggest, the only way to get a Zikan Girade is still having purchased the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Ride Striker. The two swords should still  becapable of combining, but you’ll need both of those releases to utilize it.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O II will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, so be sure to keep an eye on your favorite middleman services and retailers for pre-orders.

“Guess who’s back?”

With Lord Zedd’s Scarlet Sentinel on the rampage, the Power Rangers need help. With the Green Ranger’s powers no more, Zordon & Alpha 5 have worked in secret to create the newest and most powerful member of the team. Stronger than ever before, Tommy Oliver returns as the White Ranger!

And now thanks to Hasbro, a better stronger toyline has been unleashed for Power Rangers collectors! The Lightning Collection heralds the debut of the now standard 6″ scale line of collectible figures for Power Rangers, and brings with it for the first time ever realistic proportions and design aesthetics. Wave 1 consists of the SPD Shadow Ranger, Lord Zedd, the Dino Charge Red Ranger, and our subject today, the Mighty Morphin White Ranger! Look no further than our gallery & review to see comparisons with S.H. Figuarts & Hasbro’s Marvel Legends, the incredible articulation engineered into this figure, and the wealth of accessories the White Ranger includes. Such as the Saba Saber, and even a civilian Tommy Oliver head!

We’ve attached the full 70+ image gallery to this post, but you can read our lengthy review of the Lightning Collection White Ranger as well by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back with more galleries this week from Power Rangers Beast Morphers & Kamen Rider Zi-O!

To dominate the Morphin Grid & the real world, the sinister virus Evox has demanded the servitude of Scrozzle and his army of Tronic soldiers! Cold, lifeless machines, the Tronic’s battle the Power Rangers of Coral Harbor at every turn. While they aren’t as powerful as Robotron’s, their sheer numbers can make things difficult for our heroes.  Thankfully for collectors, you can build your own army of the mechanical monsters with the 6″ Basic Tronic Figure!

The 6″ Tronic is the first troop builder villain from Hasbro and luckily has been hitting retail in decent numbers allowing many collectors to get as many as they need. Fortunately for us, Hasbro was kind enough to provide us with one for free as part of their Beast Morphers Product Review Mailer. With much of the same standard articulation as the 3 rangers released so far, the Tronic is another great basic figure to add to your collection. Armed with two Tronic Blasters and a Tronic Morph X Key this figure will antagonize your Rangers or compliment your Blaze quite well.

We’ve attached the full 40 image gallery to this post but you can also check out our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next week with a gallery of the NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!
