under Kamen Rider

The upcoming Kamen Rider Gaim summer movie generated quite a bit of buzz with the revelation of not only Kamen Rider Malus, the reveal of Kiwami Arms, but also of the second new Armored Rider to appear – the Silver Apple Armored Rider. Our first look was blurry, but we have some better (but still not super-awesome) looks at this character. We have yet to learn the official name of the Armored Rider, but apparently the character will be named Lapis.

With thanks to Kamen Blitz of the TokuNation forums as well as our friends at HeroTaku.com! Check out both images by clicking the title of the story.

The trademark has been posted – it would appear that the next Kamen Rider will be known as Kamen Rider Drive. The attached image is a picture of the trademark filed for the next show. As to what this show will be about is anyone’s guess at this moment. Keep in mind, there has been rumors floating around that the current series, Kamen Rider Gaim, would be ending early, so the details for Kamen Rider Drive may be forthcoming sooner than we think.

Speculate and discuss away in our discussion thread! Thanks to Fruit Rider News and TokusatsuNetwork.com for the heads up.

under Conventions, Other Conventions, Power Rangers

A lot of people may think this is a funny update, but for fans of Power Rangers this is kind of big! The actor known as Austin St. John who played Jason Lee Scott the original Mighty Morphin Red Power Ranger as well as the fan-favorite Zeo Gold Ranger is making his first convention appearance in nearly 7 years this weekend at Comicpalooza, the Texas International Comic Con. This is the first public appearance by Austin St. John since 2007, as he has been overseas being busy as a real life hero working with emergency responders in the Middle East.

Below is a video posted today by Austin St. John as he left for the airport. Be sure to keep up to date with everything ASJ related by ”Liking” his official Facebook Page and following him on Twitter @ASJAustin.

under Super Sentai

While many of us await the release of the second wave of the Ressha Sentai ToQGer MiniPlas, an image previewing the third wave has released. Included in this new wave of Minipla will be all about the accessory-type Resshas – namely the Shield Ressha, the Fire Ressha, and the Police Ressha. At this exact moment, there are no concrete details of a release date.

The Minipla series offers a smaller, much more articulated version of the DX Mechas. Are you a fan of Miniplas? And if so, are you planning to add these to your collection? Sound off in our discussion thread!

under Godzilla

It’s safe to say it – the King of the Monsters is back and he’s top at the box office this weekend. Reporting in at $93 million dollars domestically and an additional $103 million internationally, Godzilla 2014 is topping in at roughly $200 million dollars for its opening weekend. On top of that, news of a sequel is already in the works.

According to Deadline.com, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have already begun developing a sequel to what is now considered a successful reboot to the American Godzilla franchise. While movies in the “development” stage are always questionable to see the light of day, with what would appear to be a box-office hit – the $103 million dollars internationally is the largest grossing for a movie this year – many are saying a sequel is an obvious no-brainer.

“You have no idea what’s coming! And it’s going to send us back to the stone age!”

It’s here. The American remake/reboot of the Japanese classic monster movie, Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, has been released in the United States. Receiving positive reviews from across the country (currently sitting at a 73% at movie site Rotten Tomatoes) anyone from casual to hardcore in terms of their interest in Godzilla needs to go see this movie. Starring Bryan Cranston and Ken Watanabe, along with many others, movie fans believe that Godzilla officially ushers in the start of “summer movie blockbusters”, with X-Men: Days of Future Past, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seemingly right on its heels (and many others too!).

We have a dedicated thread for you to discuss the movie, spoilers and all. Click here to join the movie discussion thread already in progress. The gang from our Talkin Toku Podcast are also planning an episode solely dedicated to discussing the movie in the near future, so stay tuned for that.

It’s a good time to be a Godzilla fan. Join in the discussion and go see the movie! And then go see it again! Below is an extended-look trailer. See you on the other side of the credits!
