“It’s Morphin’ Time!”

After an early leak this morning, Hasbro & nWay Games have officially announced their new joint game venture with Lionsgate in Power Rangers Battle For the Grid! Official press release:

“For over 25 years Power Rangers has been one of the most popular franchises in the world. As a perennial Top 10 NPD Action Brand, the globally renowned brand has spawned hit TV shows, movies, toys, comics, live entertainment and games. Today, nWay, the developer and publisher behind Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, the hit multiplayer mobile game with over 45 million downloads, is partnering with Hasbro and global content leader Lionsgate to announce Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. The new cross-platform fighting game will be available as a digital download for $19.99 first on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in April 2019, and then as a PC release later in the year.”

The trailer can also be seen below but we’ve attached a number of screenshots from the trailer to this story as well. Digital Pre-orders for the game can be placed now at BattleForTheGrid.com for the low price of $19.99. Power Rangers Battle for the Grid will be released in April!

As Kamen Rider Zi-O marches on through time and space, more Legends of the Kamen Rider franchise are joining the series’ toyline! Bandai B-Boys has just updated their site this week with official images and release information for two more of these Legends joining the Rider Kicks Figures Legends line:

RKF Legend Rider Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard
– Mid February release date
– 2,500 yen retail

RKF Legend Rider Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma
– Mid February release date
– 2,500 yen retail

Both figures, as with all RKF’s, look to be great budget alternatives to their pricier Tamashii Web Exclusive collector counterparts. And luckily, so far, this line is all retail as well. Will you be adding these RKF’s to your collection? Let us know in the thread below!

The popular mobile game Power Rangers Legacy Wars was released almost 2 years ago to quite a bit of excitement from fans. nWay games really struck a chord with fans of the franchise in creating the beat ’em up fighting game. However the game being limited to mobile has been the source of complaint from some fans. Now it looks as though nWay is about to take the game, or at least some version of it, to a wider market.

A trailer has appeared online (featuring Jason David Frank) showcasing what appears to be a new console & PC port of the game called Power Rangers Battle For the Grid. While nWay Games has yet to publicly reveal the game themselves, or even comment on the veracity of the trailer, it certainly looks like we’re about to get a console & PC port of the popular fighter. The game is reportedly set for an April 2019 release. Let us know what you think in the thread below!

under Godzilla

“Cattle don’t have dreams.”

Two years on from Neo’s death, Omega is hunted. Crossing the path of an unusual home for children and a man named Midou, a horrifying new iteration of the Sigma Project has been uncovered. As the hunters become the hunted, the man named Midou proclaims himself Amazon Neo Alpha, the one to surpass Jin Takayama and the original madness of the Amazon Cells.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Neo Alpha is the latest and so far last release from the juggernaut Amazons franchise. A really interesting note to end the line on, Neo Alpha reuses the excellent Neo mold and incorporates new militarized elements to the design. Including a new arm weapon in the form of the Neo Amazon Sweeper, a combination chainsaw & machine gun! Opinions may vary on the Amazons The Last Judgement film, and most will find the Midou/Neo Alpha character to be very hollow, but as far as I’m concerned this figure is another winner from the Armour Zone.

We’ve attached the full 70+ image gallery to this post, but you can also read through our complete review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. As you ring in the new year today, we wish you all the best! We’ll see you in 2019 for the announcement of Toku Toy Box winners and the prizes they will receive!

“Those who betrayed me are far beyond forgiveness!”

The one and only Game Master returns! Deleted previously by Parad, Kuroto Dan’s data was scattered into the Proto Mighty Action X Gashat and seemingly lost. But thanks to Poppy, Kuroto’s data was recovered and the game master was reborn, as a Bugster! Now imbued with all the abilities of a Bugster, and begrudgingly joining up with the team at CR, Kuroto has returned to stop Parad, Masamune, and anyone else who gets in the way of his path to godhood!

S.H. Figuarts Shin Kuroto Dan represents this reprehensible rider after his rebirth as a Bugster in episode 31 of Ex-Aid. Taking on the moniker Shin (new), Kuroto begins to indulge in some of his wilder tendencies. This figure, while imperfect, certainly does a fair job of recreating the insanity of his character at this point as well. Civilian figuarts still aren’t incredibly common, so the expectations can be big surrounding releases such as this. Couple that with the inclusion of the Continue Pipe the character is infamous for, and collectors had high hopes over this release. So how did it turn out in the end?

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery to this post, but you can read our in depth review of Shin Kuroto Dan after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be back soon with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement! And don’t forget that this gallery enters you in for a chance to win one of a number of possible prizes in our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway!

The most recent post on Bandai’s S.H. Figuarts blog cycles through the official images of the upcoming Ride Striker release for Kamen Rider Zi-O. The post details the accessories it comes with as well as it’s compatibility with both Zi-O and Geiz. However, at the end of the post is an odd teaser.

“次回、ジオウ＆ゲイツに強大な敵が立ちふさがる….!?”
“Next time, a mighty enemey will stop Zi-O & Geiz….!?”

The image attached is of the yet to be released Zi-O and Geiz Figuarts posed as though they’ve just lost a fight, while Decade stands tall in the background, back facing them. This image is very likely teasing something a lot of people have been hoping for since news of Decade’s return in Zi-O was made known. Given his turned back, this could very well indicate a potential reissue of the Shinkocchou Seihou Decade S.H. Figuart, though with the new magenta Neo Decadriver instead.

While there’s nothing more concrete to go on than that, the popular consensus is that we could be seeing the Destroyer of Worlds return to destroy our wallets once more. Time will tell if this is anything more than just a tease, and if it is, we’ll be sure to let you know!

Yesterday we got our first real look at color prototypes for the upcoming Figma Gridman & Grid Knight from SSSS Gridman. Both look phenomenal in what little we could glean from the Figure Oh scan. Today however GSC has released a single hi-res look at this fair together for the first time! This offers the absolute best look yet at either of these Figma’s and I have to say, they look incredible together. The post this image was attached to also indicates that Figma Gridman pre-orders will begin on January 19th. 

In another surprise teaser, Goodsmile has announced that they are indeed working on at lest one Kaiju from the series. No, we don’t just mend the adorable clay model Kaiju that Nendoroid Akane Shinjo comes with, this is apparently going to be some sort of full size figure of Ghoulghilas! The cyborg like dragon monster which Gridman faced in the first episode of the series. While GSC has not indicated if this will be some sort of full scale DX, Figma, or maybe even just a vinyl figure, it’s pretty promising to see a Kaiju from the series being worked on. It was anounced in the same GSC blog update as the new Figma image.

As more information about Gridman, Grid Knight, and Ghoulghilas becomes available we’ll be sure to keep you informed.
