Fans of Kamen Rider Hibiki rejoice – we have our first look at Kamen Rider Ibuki and Kamen Rider Zanki in their glorious Shinkocchou Seihou splendor! Having never been released as S.H. Figuarts in the past, these two characters would be a great addition to any Kamen Rider S.H. Figuarts collector, as well as any fan of the series Kamen Rider Hibiki.

The Shinkocchou Seihou series of S.H. Figuarts has the design process starting with the bone structure of the character and building up, providing more realization without limiting articulation. At the Tamashii Nations 2017 event currently happening in Japan, images have leaked of the Shinkocchou Seihou version of Kamen Rider Wizard!
Currently, two images are linked to this article courtesy of @YongouOYander on Twitter. Check out the new version of Kamen Rider Wizard by clicking the title of the story. No further details on this figure are available at this time – it is simply on display.
Thanks to user coolztoys at Rangerboard we have some up close in-package images of the upcoming Wave 5 figures from the Legacy Power Rangers 6.5″ Figures collection. Notably absent from the wave is the Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger and Zeo Pink Ranger, although Bandai America has issued a statement weeks ago that collectors should not worry because they are still releasing female figures (no images of the Wave 4 Zeo Yellow Ranger have surfaced yet and she was excluded from the first assortment of Wave 4).
The figures available in the first assortment of this wave appear to be:
– Dino Thunder Black Ranger
– Zeo Red Ranger
– Zeo Blue Ranger
We do not yet know the case assortment yet, but one could assume it will be Tommy-heavy in shipping (x3 and x2 on the Tommy figures, most likely). Stay tuned for more information as it comes available.
Thanks to Instagram user @powerrangerstoysau and @lestraque we have some in package images of the upcoming Legacy Zords. For those unawares, the Legacy Zords are larger scale articulated versions of the original Dino Zords. They come with a small Power Ranger pilot and do NOT combine or transform in any way shape or form.
The first wave consists of the Tyrannosaurus-Rex Zord and the Sabertooth Tiger Zord. Check out the images by clicking the title of the story.
NOTE: The prices on the packaging are NOT final prices for the United States, as they are located in a specialty store in Australia.
This December, Kamen Rider Climax Fighters will release around Asia for the Playstation 4 video game console. For those of you with a desire to play – an English subtitle release is available for pre-order via Play-Asia, and since the Playstation 4 is region free, it will work on your own system.
Bandai Namco uploaded a new video today detailing the characters in the game. On top of the characters we already know about, a large number of secondary Kamen Riders (along with their secondary and third forms) have been revealed. They are as follows:
– Kamen Rider Brave
– Kamen Rider Specter
– Kamen Rider Mach
– Kamen Rider Baron
– Kamen Rider Beast
– Kamen Rider Meteor
– Kamen Rider Birth
– Kamen Rider Accel
– Kamen Rider Black

AXS Guest Services, one of the ticketing service that is handling the tickets for the Power Rangers Live! tour, has E-mailed all those who have purchased tickets to let people know that the Power Rangers Live! tour has been postponed.
There is no further information available at this time. We will update when we can.
UPDATE! Other ticketing agencies are citing production delays for the reason for the postponement.
UPDATE 2! According to the official website for Power Rangers Live!, the show has been delayed until 2019, meaning the live show will no longer take place during the 25th anniversary year as planned.
As is customary with Kamen Rider, the gimmick line of each series ends up having “legend Riders” power-ups. Kamen Rider Build is continuing that tradition with the DX Legend Rider Full Bottles which have been uncovered today by @_Erasu on Twitter.
You will be able to pick up Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Gaim, Kamen Rider Drive, Kamen Rider Ghost, and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid DX Full Bottles for your Build Driver! Check out all the images in the story.
No prices or release dates are available at the time of this posting. We will update as soon as the official page goes online.
The following article is an opinion article written by TokuNation.com webmaster and editor-in-chief TokuChris. The opinions expressed in this article do not necessarily reflect the feeling of other staff members of TokuNation.com or the website as a whole. TokuChris has been collecting various toy lines and working as a freelance journalist on said toy lines since 2001.
Bandai America has a reputation amongst toy collectors of being cheap, “knock off” quality of their superior sister company, Bandai Japan. When the Legacy items for Power Rangers first started coming out, fans began to think that Bandai America was actually changing their reputation by making high-end American exclusive product catered to the older fans of the franchise.
As the Legacy line of Megazords and roleplay items continued to sell well, Bandai America decided to adventure in to the realm of 6.5″ figures with a “build a figure” gimmick to compete with heavy hitter Marvel Legends. Premium paint applications and articulation were promised in exchange for a $19.99 price tag (or, as fans have discovered, now $21.99 in most places). Sadly, the figure line has been riddled with quality control issues since its second wave and shows no sign of improvement.
And now, with the release and revelation of the Legacy 6.5″ Power Rangers Zeo Gold Ranger having nothing gold about him, fan backlash has reached critical levels. Please click “Read More” to hear one opinion on the matter. Spoilers – it’s not going to be pretty.
The next series of Legacy Power Rangers 6.5″ Figures have been spotted and purchased at a Wal-Mart in California. Dino Thunder Red Ranger, Dino Thunder Blue Ranger, Zeo Green Ranger, and Zeo Gold Ranger were spotted and purchased which has given a sigh of relief to collectors who thought the metallic wave of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy figures had pushed back the release of these highly anticipated figures.
Sadly, there’s been a large fan backlash against Bandai America for the quality of this wave of figures. If you look closely at the pictures, you will see a majority of the “gold” pieces, including the entire armor of the Zeo Gold Ranger, have been unpainted and instead are the flat, matte gold which looks more orange than gold. The same plastic can be seen as the holster for the Dino Thunder figures as well as the Build a Megazord pieces of the Zeo Megazord.
