UFO washoi!

TokuNation returns to the team of ninjas that refuses to hide with Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! And today we’re taking a look at the second release in the Otomonin series of additional mecha, DX UFOmaru!

Apparently the original Otomonin, UFOmaru is the being which all of the Ninninger’s mecha technology is based on. Rather interestingly UFOmaru is also the first and so far only literal UFO based mecha in Super Sentai. We’ve had spaceships in the past but this one takes the cake. An interesting design, UFOmaru can alternate between the traditional “saucer” mode and his own unique robot form that stands tall with Paonmaru & Shinobimaru. When used in place of Shinobimaru, Shurikenjin UFO is formed! Armed with the 3-barrelled UFOmaru Launcher, Shurikenjin UFO succeeds in being another new and unique combination that’s a welcome breath of fresh air.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to see a comprehensive gallery of over 50 images as well as a full review for DX UFOmaru. We’ll see you again in a few weeks for our next ninja themed gallery installment with DX Bison Buggy & Rodeomaru!

Paon! Paon! Paon! Wasshoi!

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is moving right along in both show & toyline. The first release in the DX Otomonin series for Ninninger recently hit Japanese retail and we’ve finally gotten our copy in hand for review. Today we’re taking a look at DX Paonmaru!

Paonmaru made it’s first appearance a matter of weeks ago on Ninninger and as the name implies Paonmaru is an elephant. It came to the aid of the Ninningers as the first of the restored Sealing Shurikens. Not only does it have a role as a beast, but it can also be reconfigured into a small robot formation that’s very similar to Shinobimaru at a basic level. Though Paonmaru has a bit more bulk to it. The real star of the show however is this machine’s combination with Shurikenjin, Shurikenjin Paon! Wielding the Paon Axes Shurikenjin Paon benefits from the inherently awesome articulation of the primary figure.

Check out over 50 images as well as a full review of this wonderful new addition to the toyline of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger after the jump! We’ll be back later this week with our look at DX UFOmaru!

Though they aren’t quite as clear as the high quality scans we’ve gotten used to, a fresh batch of Detail of Heroes scans have popped up online showcasing the next rider for Drive, Kamen Rider Chaser!

Chaser of course is the former Proto-Drive & Mashin Chaser of the series and with his new status as a rider comes the equipment of one as well. A Mach Driver & Chaser Shift Bike of his own as well as the massive Signal Axe weapon. Look for Kamen Rider Chaser to debut on Kamen Rider Drive in the coming month!

Coming off our 400th anniversary special our resident Photo & Content contributor Ryan is back to continue his series of classic Kamen Rider W galleries! Today he’s taking a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider W Luna/Trigger!

One of the myriad two tone forms Kamen Rider W has access to, Luna/Trigger is one of his 3 “basic” combos. The Luna Gaia Memory gives W the ability to stretch his limbs in incredible inhuman ways, whil the Trigger Memory gives him access to the powerful Trigger Magnum. The potent combination of the two allows W to hit otherwise impossible targets in spectacular ways.

Today is the start of a fresh batch of magazine scans flooding the internet, so let’s start off with the sentai batches! From Shuriken Sentai Ninninger we have the following:

– Starninger civilian form. Real name Kinji Takigawa. Came from America & decided to be a ninja after encountering the Last Ninja, Yoshitaka Igasaki.
– Ninja Red & Hurricane Red Shurikens! From the upcoming 3 ninja team episode crossover. The Kakuranger ninshuriken will allow the user to create doubles while the Hurricanger ninshuriken allows the user to use the Huuricane Red’s Soragake technique.
– Rodeomaru & Bison King. Rodeomaru will be the core unit of Bison King much like Shinobimaru is for Shurikenjin.
