under Power Rangers

Hey everybody – we’re at San Diego Comic Con!  While the Power Rangers themselves have long-since bowed out of officially being part of San Diego Comic Con, there are still licensed partners creating new product for the brand.  One of the more popular and successful companies has been ThreeZero with their articulated, realistic 1:6 scale figures.

At SDCC 2024, ThreeZero has two new pieces on display – a Mighty Morphin Green Ranger based on the “Matt Cook” version seen in the BOOM! Studios Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series, and a surprise reveal – the Red Turbo Power Ranger!

Check out our images from SDCC 2024 by clicking the title of the story.

under Ultraman

Tsuburaya has announced a unique new Ultraman project for manga fans!

A new series Ultraman: Along Came A Spider-Man features the second crossover between Ultraman and a Marvel Comics hero (following Marvel’s own Ultraman X Avengers series previously announced).

In this new adventure, Spider-Man is brought aboard the Interdimensional Train following a devastating battle with Doctor Doom. When Doom sees the Ultraman and kaiju battle he becomes obsessed with taking the heroes’ new power for himself.

Writer Shigenobu Matsumoto will helm the manga while Tomo Hirokawa will serve as artist.

Ultraman: Along Came A Spider-Man will be distributed in the US thanks to VIZ Media with the first release scheduled for August 14 2024!

under Kamen Rider

Early images of Kamen Rider Gavv are being released detailing the alternate forms linked to this new Rider’s abilities!

Kamen Rider Gavv feeds small Gochizo creatures to the Henshin Belt Gavv to transform, with his base purple-armor coming from the Poppin Gummy. Each Gochizo appears to be based on a different type of snack food.

Four other forms have been revealed so far, each with a different combat type:

*The Chocolate cowboy shooter Chocodon!

*The Marshmallow sumo/boxer FuwaMallow!

*The Potato Chip samurai ZakuZaku Chips!

*The Lollipop Mecha warrior Gurucan!

Kamen Rider Gavv begins in September 2024. Stay tuned to Tokunation for further details on this new chapter in Kamen Rider history.

under Power Rangers

It’s tough to be a Power Rangers fan lately.  With no new show to watch, no new collectibles to purchase, the reboot show allegedly dropped by Netflix, the long-running comic series from BOOM! Studios ending in a couple of months, and a deafening silence on everything from Hasbro, it really feels like The End of the Power Rangers.

However, one slimmer of light shone through today as Bert Selen, composer for Power Rangers Dino Fury and Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, posted on X (formerly Twitter) a short video with music from the Power Rangers Dino Fury show with the hashtag “#soundtrack”.  The text?  A simple “7-12-24”.

Power Rangers Dino Fury (2021/2022) was the last season of Power Rangers to air on television, with the second half of the second season being exclusive to Netflix.  The follow-up sequel series, Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, streamed exclusively on Netflix.
