For those of you who follow Transformers at all surely know of a fellow by the name of Vangelus, a popular podcast host of WTF@TFW as well as a common contributor to other podcasts, not to mention one of the most popular and highly subscribed video toy reviewer.

Vangelus dropped me a line to let me know that he’s got some new reviews up of some Kamen Rider W SIC Figure sets on YouTube, and we’re going to pass them along to you (for those who don’t already follow him and his updates).

So check out the video reviews of the following: CycloneJoker & Xtreme, HeatMetal & LunaTrigger, and FangJoker & Skull!

Greetings fellow Tokusatsu fans!

As a majority of you probably know, the American adaption of Super Sentai is referred to as Power Rangers, and for 20 years, Power Rangers have introduced so many of us to the joys and splendor that make up the world of Super Sentai.

But in 20 years of rich history, Power Rangers have had many different heroes take up the call to arms against everything from alien lifeforms, machine empires, demons, and time traveling villains. If you want to be exact, to date, a total of 97 separate heroes (101 if you count SPD Orange Ranger,

Spoiler:
Jarrod and Camille of Jungle Fury
, and also
Spoiler:
the future Red Ranger in Samurai if it follows Shinkenger’s storyline which all signs point to it will
). Some of them have been with us more than others (hello Tommy!) and others were barely with us (here’s looking at you Kendrix and Kat Minx).

Back in the beginning of February, we reported a list of possible Power Rangers Super Samurai episode titles courtesy of kyl416 at Fuñaro Board. Well, kyl416 is at it again and thus far his original report has proven to be accurate.

To see the possible titles and summaries of the final 7 episodes of Power Rangers Super Samurai, and how closely it does or does not follow Shinkenger, simply click the story title (done to avoid spoilers). The text will be blacked out in the next post as well.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy here at TokuNation.com! We’d like to welcome all of our new users who have joined us since Toy Fair 2012. That being said, there’s some stuff that’s been going on in the world of Tokusatsu and we want to talk about it!

To begin with – Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (or Pirate Sentai) has officially come to an end (unless you count the movies still left to come out). To say that the series ended with a bang would be an understatement. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, please head to your favorite Fan Sub site, download the subtitled episode, and voice your thoughts on the final episode and the series as a whole.

For those who prefer their Super Sentai in Power Ranger form, the second season of Power Rangers Samurai (the Americanized version of Sentai Shinkenger) started airing on Nickelodeon. This season is being referred to as Power Rangers Super Samurai, and the first two episodes have already aired. If you’ve checked it out, add your thoughts to Super Samurai episode and Shell Game episode.

Kamen Rider Fourze is starting to heat up again. If you dropped the show earlier, you might want to consider picking it back up. The Horoscopes are making the show really interesting. The easiest way to jump in is to head to our Kamen Rider Fourze Forum and start discussing!

And of course … we saved the best for last.

With the end of Gokaiger comes the beginning of Gobuster and we’ve created a whole new forum to celebrate the 36th Super Sentai series. Check it out – Tokumei Sentai GoBuster Forum. The first episode has also already aired and is receiving incredible reviews. Join in the discussion once you’ve watched the episode by clicking here!

And because the users of TokuNation.com demanded it … we’ve also included a sub-forum for the upcoming not-Sentai-but-kind-of-is series, Akibaranger. For those with a serious interest in this new series, you can make your way to its own forum by following this link – Akibaranger Sub-Forum.

It’s going to be a fun and interesting year in Tokusatsu! We hope you’ll join us for the ride!

TokuNation.com is excited to announce in the coming weeks we will upload an entire collection of Kamen Rider and Super Sentai images from one of the longest running kids magazines in Japan – Televi-Kun.

Fans of Super Sentai will be excited to see some rarely seen images of Gingaman, GoGo V, Timeranger, and Gaoranger, including images from team-ups that the United States saw very little if no footage at all during the respected Power Rangers series runs for each adapted series.

Again, stay tuned for these great magazine images of your favorite heroes from up to 13 years ago!

Small, low-resolution picture used only for preview. High resolution pictures will be uploaded for actual release.

Gigazord! Everyone likes combining robots, right? Power Rangers Samurai gives you plenty of opportunities to collect and combine your zords.

Historically, one of the most unique and compelling features of the Power Rangers line has been and continues to be, our ZordBuilder collection.

Construction is an aggressively growing segment, but traditional construction sets can be so square.

Bandai has fused action and construction to deliver a creative play-pattern that allows kids to build show-accurate Zords and Megazords or an infinite number of their own Zord creations and extend the Power Ranger play experience.

A perfect example of the ZordBuilder collection is the Gigazord. As seen in the TV series the Gigazord is the ultimate Megazord, and can be created by combining 3 Deluxe Megazords and 4 Zords. That’s 40 individual pieces, combining together to create the Power Rangers strongest weapon.

The Power Rangers are coming with their own zords these days, and in this case, Deker comes with one too!

Straight from the Power Rangers TV show comes this awesome Zord Vehicle to help battle against evil! The Zord Vehicle comes with a Ranger set in a battle pose ready to protect. The Zord Vehicle features its own unique feature to seek out and defeat villains. Collect any of the 4-inch Power Ranger figures (sold separately) and attach the figures onto the Zord Vehicle. Provide a powerful boost by collecting and combining the Zord Vehicle with multiple items in the ZordBuilder Collection (each sold separately): the Deluxe Megazord or Deluxe Vehicle (#31575 or #31560) and create your own personal Zord power! Or collect ALL the Zord Vehicles and Deluxe Megazords (each sold separately) and combine them together to create the Samurai BattleWing, Samurai Battle Cannon, or Samurai Gigazord!
