A leaked image has given us a close (albeit blurry) look at the mecha for 39th Super Sentai, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!
This shot of DX Shurikenjin shows all five individual mecha- Shinobimaru, Dragonmaru, Danpumaru, Wanmaru and Byunmaru. Interestingly, the combined form appears to have multiple configurations- according to existing rumors, any one of the five Maru can become the centerpiece for the combination and Shurikenjin will have different abilities or forms based on the central component.
What this image does confirm are the Dog, Dump, & Train components initially reported exclusively here at TokuNation!

An interesting new announcement from TVShowsOnDVD.com! Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is receiving a complete series DVD release!
The massive spaceship Terra Venture represents mankind’s greatest accomplishment. The giant spacecraft hosts multiple habitat domes with diverse environments ranging from a lake to a mountain range – even a dome with a sprawling city inside – as it takes thousands of human pioneers deep into space to settle a new world. Along the way they are stalked by dangerous aliens led by the insect-like villain Scorpius and his daughter Trakeena. Rising to protect the colony ship and its many inhabitants, a team of Power Rangers from different walks of life unites to become the Galaxy Rangers.
While Lost Galaxy has been available thanks to the Shout! Factory Morphin Legacy boxset, this option will be much more affordable for casual fans- costing a mere 24.95 USD for five discs! Power Rangers Lost Galaxy will be available March 10!

A recent interview with director Guiliermo Del Toro provided some new insight into his upcoming film Pacific Rim 2 the sequel to 2013’s fan favorite monster vs. mecha action spectacular.
Del Toro offers a few details about the story structure for this new film:
“It’s a few years after the first one. It’s not an immediate follow-up. It is the world having been freed of Kaiju, what happens to the world after – what happens to the Jaeger technology once the Kaiju are not a threat. It’s quite a jump.”
Furthermore, Guiliermo has apparently confirmed two returning actors for this project:
*Charlie Day as Dr. Newton
*Burn Gorman as Dr. Herman Gottlieb.
Will anyone else return from the original film? What new adventures await us on this side of the Breach? Only time will tell!
Pacific Rim 2 is expected to hit theaters in 2017. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kaiju and Jaeger news!
