One of Ultraman’s oldest & most persistent foes arrives for today’s Toku Toy Box Gallery with S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan!

The 2nd release commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Ultra franchise, Alien Baltan is a companion piece to the recently released S.H. Figuarts Ultraman. However, unlike Ultraman, Baltan is a very straightforward and pretty bare bones release. With no accessories at all, the merits of this figure are based solely on it’s exquisite sculpt, paint apps, and personality. Does it effectively recreate the classic space ninja we all know and love? Read on to find out!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can view the entire 50 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two days with another Toku Toy Box gallery!

“Cast Off: Change, Stag Beetle!”

Toku Toy Box continues with another gallery of a recent release. Today’s subject was long overdue, and thankfully the wait has been worth it. S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack is yet another incredible entry into Bandai’s high end line of renewals.

Kamen Rider Gattack is of course the secondary rider of Kabuto & the case can definitely be made that he’s the real star of the show. And thanks to the fantastic engineering of the S.S. Kabuto body, this star really gets the chance to shine. Gattack includes the full range of articulation previously seen with Kabuto and brings his own gorgeous color scheme and accessories to the party. Both of Gattack’s Double Caliburs are included & they can combine for his Rider Cutting finish. Also, unlike Kabuto, Gattack even includes an alternate version of his Zecter! To see how vastly improved this figure is you can also check out our S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack (Original Release) gallery.

“Riderrrrrrrrrrrrr, Henshin!”

Toku Toy Box continues! Debuting in the special Superhero Year tie-in film, Kamen Rider 1, the original Rider himself received his first new upgrade in over 40 years. Well Takeshi Hongo’s latest form is on full display in our special gallery of S.H. Figuarts Movie Kamen Rider 1 !

You’d be forgiven for expecting Movie Rider 1 to be a limited figure. While undoubtedly movie magic gave the physical suit a special flare & abilities all it’s own, this figuart packs a real punch. A big beefy and well articulated figure, Movie Rider 1 truly comes across as the embodiment of actor Hiroshi Fujioka. While the accessories may limited, this figures’ potential is not. If you were a fan of the Rider 1 film, or of Hongo in general, this figure deserves a place in your collection.

It’s very very tiny but this appears to be our very first look at the unique 9 ranger team of Uchu Sentai Kyuuranger! This image was originally posted by twitter user @vanno_kamoyo.

 

UPDATE: This image has been confirmed as legitimate. This is our 41st Sentai people!

Follow along with this our discussion of Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger in the ongoing forum thread As images & info become available we’ll continue to keep you up to date!

Announced back in August, we finally have some new images and info from the upcoming Space Squad team-up movie featuring Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger & Uchuu Keiji Gavan!

The information revealed today is mostly things we either already knew or at least assumed. The venerable Kenji Ohba will of course be returning to the role he originated as Retsu Ichijouji/Gavan. This film also sees the return of Doggie Krueger/Dekamaster & Tetsu/Dekabreak. They previously returned with the the rest of the team in Dekaranger 10 Years After. It was assumed they’d be back again but it’s nice to see it confirmed.

Perhaps the most surprising bit of info revealed by the official Space Squad twitter is the addition of a previously unannounced villain to the film. Mad Gallant! This classic villain from 1985’s Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion has been resurrected to menace to menace heroes one more time. Also returning to voice Mad Gallant is his original actor as well, Junichi Haruta! Much like Grifforzer, Geildon, Apollo Geist & other resurrected villains the new Mad Gallant features a design reminiscent of his original with a few new additions.

Space Squad will be screened in theaters on June 17th and released on Blu-ray & DVD on August 9th 2017!

“Mayday mayday SOS!”

Toku Toy Box has officially begun! And the first gallery that can qualify you for entry in this years’ contest is none other than S.H. Figuarts Walter from Tokkei Winspector!

Walter rounds out the Winspector trio in spectacular fashion following up from comrades Fire & Bikel. An accessory pack for the team was just released as well, we’ll be taking a look at it next month. But for now Walter is a magnificent follow up to two excellent releases. Featuring all the hallmarks of this subline, Walter has excellent articulation and a plethora of accessories for display options. His signature Dislider jetpack/shield, a pair of oil cans for having a drink, numerous extra hands, and the ever present Daytric M2 sidearm. Walter is the perfection finish to an excellent lineup of characters.

We’ll be back in 2 days with the next Toku Toy Box gallery as well! For now though, enjoy S.H. Figuarts walter!

Once again IGN has scooped the world with a brand new reveal from the 2017 Power Rangers Movie! And this time it’s none other than our favorite lovable sidekick Alpha 5! From IGN:

Alpha 5 has a more modern and organic look that uses darker hues of the familiar red and blue colors of the original design. SNL alum Bill Hader will be providing the voice for Alpha 5. The Emmy nominated actor also helped bring another robot to life as a vocal consultant for BB-8 on The Force Awakens. Hader joins Elizabeth Banks (as Rita Repulsa) and Bryan Cranston (as Zordon) in the film, which hits theaters on March 24, 2017.

Given what we’ve now seen and found out about the 2017 Power Rangers Movie, just how excited are you for it, and for Alpha 5 himself? Please, let us know! Sound off in the comments below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

“Cast Off: Change Beetle!”

 A dark reflection arrives in our latest retro Kamen Rider Kabuto gallery, it’s S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto (Original Release)! This classic release predates the recent Tamashii Nations exclusive Shinkocchou Seihou Dark Kabuto by a number of years. And while it’s clearly been outclasses by the S.S. release now, we thought it was the opportune time to take a look at it.

Dark Kabuto is a decently extensive repaint of the original Kamen Rider Kabuto figuart. Though the detailing on his chest and back isn’t quite as sharp as the new Seihou release. As with many other figuarts from this period he tends to be a bit off model, a little too lanky, and lacks a number of accessories. But on a budget, the original Dark Kabuto may fill the gap in your Kabuto collection.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but feel free to peruse the complete 40 images gallery after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Be sure to tune in next month during our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway to see our new S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto gallery as well!

Seen most recently at the Tamashii Nations 2016 event, S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude has been teased out for release for some time. Thankfully now it’s been confirmed for it!

Super Evolved Heart is of course a straight gold repaint of the original Heart Roidmude release. For those unfamiliar, this gold super-evolved form debuts near the end of the Kamen Rider Drive TV series as well as gold forms for Brain & Medic. Gold Heart isn’t likely to include any new accessories, but if the original is any indication this release will likely include 3 sets of hands.

S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude will be released in May 2017 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 5940 yen.
