When you have a merchandise behemoth like Kamen Rider Gaim you do everything you can to keep releasing product. Bandai Japan has that figured out with the upcoming Blu Ray DVD release of Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Zangetsu & Kamen Rider Baron which features the two popular Riders in a short spin-off story from the original story line from Kamen Rider Gaim. As we reported earlier regarding the upcoming release of the DX Taboo Lock Seed, this new DX Prototype Suika Lock Seed will release as a Premium Bandai exclusive in May of 2015 with pre-orders opening January 30th, 2015.

The plot of this story has Kamen Rider Zangetsu using a prototype version of the Suika Lock Seed in a battle against an all new foe. The DX Suika Lock Seed also comes with a new face plate for your Sengoku Driver featuring the red-hued Kamen Rider Zangetsu which will be seen in Gaim Gaiden as he uses his prototype Suika Arms!

As you’re well aware by now – new Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ranger Keys featuring your favorite sixth Rangers and female Rangers were found all over the eastern United States yesterday! The “are they or aren’t they” keys are now officially “they are”, and many fans rushed to their local Toys’R’Us stores in hopes of finding them and many were successful. One such individual was YouTube user Long’s Toys – not only was he one of the first to spot the new keys, but he’s taken the time to review all of the 8 new sets! We’re sharing his videos below! Check it out!

Part 01

Part 02

Many fans are speculating that there will be another wave as the items that were listed in Toys’R’Us computers were not all represented in this case assortment – most notably the Power Rangers Wild Force Key Pack B, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive Key Pack B, Power Rangers Jungle Fury Key Pack B, and Power Rangers Dino Thunder Key Pack B as well as others.

Don’t forget that we were able to score three of the new key sets weeks before they were released – including two sets that are still not available! Check out the links below.

– Wild Force Key Pack B (unreleased)
– Operation Overdrive Key Pack B (unreleased)
– Lost Galaxy Key Pack B (released)

If you remember from the middle of last year, Internet and YouTube sensation PelleK did a “metal” cover of the classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme song. It proved to be quite popular, and PelleK then did something that was pretty awesome – he sang all the theme songs for all the Power Rangers songs in one sitting. It was so well loved by Haim Saban that they signed PelleK and used his music in a lot of their promotional work on social media and released to purchase as Power Rangers Mega Mix.

Well, PelleK is back – this time covering the upcoming theme song for Power Rangers Dino Charge! And I will be honest and throw my personal opinion in this news story – it really rocks! Take a listen below!

How do you like this cover of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge theme? Does it sound better or worse than the actual theme? Join in our on-going discussion!

As part of Saban Brands Entertainment‘s super fan group for Power Rangers, the Power Force, we are at times given an exclusive first look at upcoming Power Rangers news and media. Today the members of Power Force were given a file promoting the upcoming iOS and Android mobile card game titled Power Rangers Unite.

This card game will require players to use strategy to defeat your foes and friends allowing you to collect over 250 different cards from all 22 seasons of Power Rangers! On top of that, there will be an all-new story tied to the game bringing together all 22 seasons to really bring about a Morphinominal gaming experience!

Power Rangers Unite is scheduled to release later this year. Do you plan on playing? What characters do you hope to see recognized in the game? Sound off in our discussion thread! Go Go Power Rangers!

And trust in each other

Through a spirit evolution

It’s the end of 2014 and the start of 2015 and Talkin Toku is ringing in the New Year the way they do best – by being late to it! Join Kickback aka Chris, Den-O aka Jordan and Sentai Tamashii aka Tom as they spend 2 horribly long hours reflecting on 2014 and looking ahead to 2015!

Before the reflection begins – it’s time to talk current Toku! Join in the discussion of their continued thoughts as more and more of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is revealed! And the question everyone has on their minds … has Tom even seen the trailers for the damn show?! We also take a look at the extended Power Rangers Dino Charge (and discover if Tom has watched that trailer too).

Then we reflect on 2014. What was the Best Toku Toy of 2014? And the Worst Toku Toy of 2014? Reflecting on the year of news itself, What was the biggest Toku news of 2014? And the question that no one is going to accurately guess the answer to … our opinion on Which of the 3 Toku shows (Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Kamen Rider Gaim, and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) had the best ending? We also take a moment to read YOUR answers to those questions – thanks to everyone who submitted their thoughts/opinions/answers!

And by popular demand … the return of Toku Company’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2015 … what we think Bandai of America, Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Tamashii Nations, Bandai Japan, Saban Brands Entertainment, and Shout! Factory should have for New Year’s Resolutions!

Join us in this end of the year celebration as we celebrate a staggering average of 1.25 episodes a month and promise to do better in 2015!
