Gaoranger DX Gaolleries 11 of 15 Gao God
S.H. Figuarts Ptera Ranger Gallery
Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, two shows that will forever be remembered in the tokusatsu community. One for the innovation and originality it brought to a well established franchise, and the other for it’s meteoric start to one of the most popular children’s entertainment franchises in western media. Both of these beloved shows continue to receive attention as Power Rangers reaches it’s 20th Anniversary, and the Zyurangers are set to appear in the Kyoryuger VS. Go-Busters film!
Of course Bandai can’t resist making dreams come true for fans of both of these franchises. So today we take a look at their latest release with an extensive gallery of S.H. Figuarts Ptera Ranger or as we also know her the Mighty Morphin’ Pink Ranger! Ptera comes with her Ranger Slinger, Ranger Stick, Ptera Bow & Arrow, and 3 extra sets of hands.
This exquisite figure captures the essence of the 3 amazing women to don the costume in both franchises. Be sure to follow Reiko Chiba/Mei[/URL] & Amy Jo Johnson/Kimberly[/URL] on twitter, and Catherine Sutherland/Kat[/URL] on facebook!

Gaoranger DX Gaolleries 10 of 15 BIG Gao Lion/Gao Centaurus
Do you like Tokunation’s big month of galleries in honor of Power Rangers Wild Force? Well it’s about to get bigger with the BIG DX Gao Lion from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!
This enlarged version of Gao Lion appeared in Quest 43 when the Gaorangers were trapped in the Org Spirit Realm. Tetom desired the chance to cook for them one last time, and put all her hopes and prayers into a final treat which she gave to Gaolion. It’s energies allowed him to grow to massive proportions, large enough that along with Gao Falcon Shark Tiger & Elephant they became the great hero, Gao Centaurus!
This beastly combo was also used to defeat the third Highness Duke Org and appears very briefly in the Go-Busters Vs. Gokaiger movie. It’s one of the alternate Mecha Gokai Changes used by Go-Buster Li-Oh. As you can see the toy itself dwarfs the original figure and it’s slightly larger than the Gokaiger version of Gaolion which came out 15 years later.

Gaoranger DX Gaolleries 4 of 15 Gao Gorilla/Gao Muscle
We’re back with more DX Gaoranger goodies in our tribute to Power Rangers Wild Force! Straight from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger today we bring you our gallery of DX Gao Gorilla!
Guardian of the sacred forest, Gao Gorilla rose up in the stead of the injured Gao Lion to form a new King of Spirits. When Gao Gorilla, Bear, Polar, Eagle, and Bison come together the mighty Gao Muscle is formed! Utilizing the fire & ice powers of the bear brothers Gao Muscle can perform the Muscle Lariat, or it can use the Muscle Cracker shoulder cannons or Muscle Anchor chain weapon stored in it’s chest.
Alternatively when Gao Gorilla unites with Tiger, Shark, Eagle, and Bison Gao Cracker is formed. This alternate combo was never seen in show though a suit was made to represent it and it is officially recognized by Toei. Alternatively known as Gao Muscle Shark & Tiger. Soon the new heart of Gao King will arrive, in 2 days check back for our DX Soul Bird Gaollery!

Gaoranger DX Gaolleries 3 of 15 – Gao Bear and Gao Polar
Hyakuju Busou!
Two more Power Animals join the fray in our tribute to Power Rangers Wild Force. From Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger, today we take a look at the DX Gao Bear & Gao Polar set! Bear & Polar were twin brothers of fire & ice who, befriended by Gao Yellow, came to Gao King’s aid in Quest 9.
When combined with Gao King they replace Shark & Tiger to form Gao King Double Knuckle! When only Gao Bear is equppied and Gao Giraffe is substituted for Polar, Gao King Spear & Knuckle is formed! These powerful twins were a huge asset to the Gaorangers, that is until their power became too much for the King of Spirits and injured Gao Lion.
In order to truly revive Gao King, the sacred guardian Gao Gorilla will appear! Check back in on Thursday for the DX Gao Gorilla & Gao Muscle gallery!

First Resha Sentai Tokkuyuger Merchandise Tease
Back in September we brought the news to you that Toei had officially filed it’s trademark for the 2014 sentai Resha Sentai Tokkyuger![/URL] Though no major updates or spoilers have appeared yet, a sales page is floating around currently which shows a series of blacked out collectible keychains from the series. It would seem that the 6 keychains will represent 5 Tokyugers and their primary robo.
It’s not much to go on, but it’s a start! We had our first look at the Kyoryuger [/URL]suits on December 6th 2012, after seeing the trademark in early September. Based on that we should have our first official info, and sneak peek images, of the series in just about a month! Be sure to join our rumors & confirmations[/URL] thread for Tokkyuger as the months go by!
*It should be noted that the whited out image to the right however is not that of a Tokkyuger but rather Kyoryu Red holding the Gaburicalibur.
Gaoranger DX Gaolleries 2 of 15 – Gao Giraffe and Elephant
It’s time for a double dose of Power Animals! In our second gallery celebrating Power Rangers Wild Force we take a look at DX Gao Giraffe & Gao Elephant from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!
When Gao King equips Gao Elephant it becomes Gao King Sword & Shield, and when equipping Giraffe it become Gao King Spear. The simultaneous use of both creates Gao King Spear & Shield!
Both of these figures were released individually at first, Giraffe was later collected into the Gao Icarus Boxed set. As single releases they include their own clear yellow Gao Jewel figures! When used in combination with the spherical Gao Jewel cases they can interact with the Beast Blades and the later released Falcon Summoner.

GaoRanger DX GaoKing “Gaollery” – 1 of 15
Hyakuju Gattai!
November officially marks Tokunation’s celebration of Power Rangers Wild Force for Power Rangers 20th Anniversary! And to commemorate that we’re bringing you a very special treat. For the next month we’ll be looking at the the entire retail DX line of mecha from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!! Gaoranger is of course the sentai which Wild Force was adapted from, and both shows had massive toy lines.
So to kick things off we start with the great king of spirits himself, DX Gaoking! Gaoking is formed by the first 5 of the 100 Power Animals; Gao Lion, Gao Eagle, Gao Shark, Gao Bison, and Gao Tiger. Though not as large as his DX predecessors Gaoking is a fantastically engineered figure with some heavy diecast parts and a beautiful pearly paint job.
Gaoranger was an innovative line which featured readily interchangeable legs arms and torsos resulting in multiple official combinations and tons of unofficial ones. This line is all about versatility and we’ll be showing you that in the coming weeks. If you think Gao King himself is great then wait until you see the 14 other “Gaolleries” we have in store for this month!
