You know those things that are all popular here in the United States? We’re talking Skylanders, Disney Infinity and Amiibo, or whatever? Well, Bandai Namco released something very similar in Japan for their popular Kamen Rider series – a game for the PlayStation 3 titled Kamen Rider Summonride, where you can switch between various Kamen Rider characters as you battle hordes and legions of bad guys.

Our good buddy and incredibly famous YouTube Toku Reviewer ZeronXepher will be hosting a live stream via Twitch.TV this week as he plays through the game for he has purchased it. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a fun play through!

  • WHEN:  Tuesday, December 9th at 6pm EST
    and Friday, December 12th at 8pm EST
  • WHERE:  Twitch.TV/ZeronXepher
  • HOW:  By the power of Ferbus

Can he pull in more viewers than the Power Rangers Super Megaforce Extended Legendary Battle? Probably – stats show no one watched it on television! Be sure to follow @ZeronXepher on Twitter and be sure to ”Like” ZeronXepher’s Reviews on Facebook!

Nininininininininininininini Ninninger!

The crew of Talkin Toku is back yet again with an action packed episode promising to dull your senses and cause you regret! Join Chris “Kickback”, Jordan “Den-O”, and Tom “Sentai Tamashii” for this trip down toku discussion lane!

Did you get your S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms figure yet? We did – and we’re not happy. Listen to us rant about what all three agree is the worst quality controlled product to come out of Tamashii Nations in quite awhile. We also discuss Power Rangers Dino Charge toys – namely the Dino Charge Megazord – and whether or not we think it’s a good toy and what, if anything, it has over it’s predecessor the Legendary Megazord from Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

EXCLUSIVE! Tom fails at being a good administrator at a leading tokusatsu website community. The plus side? You get to hear his reaction to the first image of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger during the podcast. What does he think? This is actually a pretty neat thing because how often does a fan of Super Sentai have their first reaction to the new series recorded? Check it out, it’s a pretty fun listen. We also touch on speculation of the upcoming series including what our thoughts are on possible henshin devices and so forth. And marbles. That’s right – marbles. Tom talks marbles. I can’t make this up if I tried. Just listen.

Power Rangers Dino Charge had the theme song and the smart phone app come out. Does it get the seal of approval from the guys? What about the theme song – what works, what doesn’t work, and does it hold up? Tom gives his $0.02 as he describes his youngest son’s reaction to the theme song.

We also take an in-depth look at the extended episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce as we end our discussion on the series that seems to have divided part of the fandom in terms of “IT SUCKS” versus “IT KIND OF SUCKS”. What parts of the extended episode were good? Which were unnecessary? And was it really as special as we all thought it was? Jordan gives his rundown on why he feels it was a lackluster extended battle, while Chris and him get in to it about one of the more fandom-popular moments of the extended Legendary Battle.

Finally – we talk some Toku Toy Box giveaway as the episode ends. Have you registered on TokuNation.com yet and posted in the eligible threads so you can win? You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, but don’t miss your chance at entering in each qualifying thread!

Enjoy! Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

That was unexpected!

For a week now Power Rangers has hyped up tonight’s extended episode of “The Legendary Battle” pretty heavy across social media and even on television. And TokuNation was there to live-tweet the whole 75 minutes to you! Here’s a recap of the entire episode, which included “The Wrath” as part of the 75 minutes.

  • 75 minutes long with commercials
  • “The Wrath” featured extended scenes
  • Longer “New Powers” fight scene
  • Extended Mr. Burley and Ernie scenes
  • Extra dialogue for Levira
  • Extended scene where Tommy saves a boy from a falling car
  • Extra dialogue before the Power Rangers fight the last general in the last episode
  • A longer battle with the X-Borgs while fighting the general
  • Silver Ranger turns in to Mighty Morphin Green Ranger and gives the Dragon Shield to Red Ranger, who wears it as he transforms in to the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger
  • An entirely new scene where the Power Rangers use all their Legendary Ranger Modes to fight Emperor Mavro
  • A helmetless morph scene (just like in Gokaiger for those familiar with the Super Sentai version)
  • Extra footage of the Legendary Rangers putting on their helmets
  • Dialogue for Karone the Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger as she says “I love being a Power Ranger” as her face morphs in to her villain form of Astronema

So there you have it. We probably missed an item or two, especially during “The Wrath” only because we didn’t bother to re-watch it before this special extended edition aired. So now it comes down to the big question – was this finale worth it? In this writer’s humble opinion – yes, it was. It felt like we got a fitting end to Emperor Mavro and any dialogue added for our Legendary Rangers is a win. But does it correct the flaws with Power Rangers Super Megaforce? That one we’ll leave up to you.

Linked to this news post is a new discussion thread and a new poll for this extended episode. Please take a moment to vote on it and share your thoughts. This episode will be available online in a few hours at Nick.com!

Chalk this one up to unexpected (at least, unexpected this soon!).

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie White Ranger Legacy Morpher has been released at Toys’R’Us. A member of the Facebook Rangers group, Chris Hagen, spotted the morpher and purchased it earlier today. The morpher comes with a gold White Tiger coin as well as a gold White Falcon coin. Unfortunately, the electronics remain the same as the previous releases, making this (other than the coins) simply another repaint. It’s important to note – it appears that the White Tiger coin is the same coin released in the SDCC 2013 Exclusive Green & White Ranger Morpher (gold and not weathered).

With Power Rangers Dino Charge at Toys’R’Us, this simply creates more excitement to get to your local Toys’R’Us to grab those new Power Rangers toys. Are you going to be picking up this new morpher? Sound off in discussion!
