We reached out to Bandai America to get a couple more clarifications or questions answered for everyone after our initial trip through the showroom. The questions (and answers) are below!

What do the new Legacy figures come with?

With the main core of the teams, it will be a Build-a-Figure type of system where each figure will come with a different piece to build a bigger figure. For the first assortment, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures will come with pieces to build a Megazord figure. Whether or not they will come with individual weapons has not been finalized yet. Sixth Rangers, such as the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger figure, will come with accessories instead of a “Build-a-Figure” piece.

What is the exact size of these new Legacy figures?

The Power Rangers themselves will be 6.5″ in scale, and the figure they create will be 7.5″ in scale. They will retail for roughly $20.

The fans still want to know – are we going to get a Poisandra figure?

There is no update for a Poisandra (or Keeper) figure at this time.

At New York Comic Con it was stated that Bandai America was working to get the remaining Ranger Keys released. Nothing is displayed at Toy Fair. What is the status of those remaining keys – are they coming out, or are they cancelled?

The product manager who is in charge of Ranger Keys did not make the trip to Toy Fair so unfortunately their final status is unknown as of this posting. If we get the answer later on we will be sure to update.

If we get any more updates, we will post them up for everyone.  We did ask about a possible Talon Ranger figure, but that question was skipped by Bandai America.

We have high resolution images of all the Legacy items on display from Toy Fair 2016! Check out the following images!

  • Limited Edition Black & Gold Legacy Dragonzord
  • Legacy Falconzord
  • Legacy Communicator
  • Legacy Communicator – Green & White Edition
  • Legacy Movie Morphers (Red, Pink, Blue)
  • Legacy Blade Blaster

Photography was not allowed for possibly the biggest reveal of the event – brand new Legacy figures! These will be 6 inches in scale (so on par with your S.H. Figuarts characters), feature extensive articulation, detailed paint applications, and will release later this year! They will release three assortments (waves) a year, and each year will feature two seasons worth. The first year’s releases will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Ninja Storm. When we asked why those two, they stated Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is too iconic not to use, and Power Rangers Ninja Storm has to have a good reason (with a wink … for those who don’t get the reference, the next series is Power Rangers Ninja Steel).

The figures will also come with a “Build a Figure” type of accessory, allowing you to create the Megazord for that respective season. Shown at the show was the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Megazord – and it looks INCREDIBLE! As does the Legacy Mighty Morphin Green Ranger figure! The first assortment releasing this summer will contain Mighty Morphin Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Ninja Storm Red Ranger, Ninja Storm Blue Ranger, Ninja Storm Yellow Ranger, and another figure from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (unknown which color at this time).

Our own Sentai Tamashii is at Toy Fair 2016 and spent some time with Bandai America. Here are some snippets of information while we await on pictures!

  • The Ninja Megazord on display was NOT the Legacy Ninja Megazord – it was the original toy, simply there as a placeholder.
  • Will retail between $80-$90
  • Legacy Figures – appear to be 6″ tall, more detail, not “powerful Rangers” style but still American muscle style
  • Female Legacy Figures have slits in skirts to allow figures’ legs to move
  • Each Legacy Figure will have a “build a figure” piece to build that season’s Megazord
  • 6th Rangers in the Legacy line will have more accessories instead of a “build a figure” piece
  • There will be 3 assortments released in a year, with 2 seasons per year
  • First year will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Ninja Storm – thanks Ninja Steel influence!
  • Assortment 1 will be Ninja Storm Red, Blue, and Yellow, Mighty Morphin Red, Green and one other figure
  • Ninja Coins when?  Bandai America doesn’t want to let collectors down – still many more shows to reveal things at this year
  • Currently no other focus other than mainline toys and Legacy toys (sorry Ranger Key fans!)
  • Bandai America cannot discuss anything Movie 2017 related at this time.
  • Future Legacy release?  “All in due time” … stay tuned, still three big conventions this year (SDCC, NYCC, PMC)
  • Bandai committed to not letting girl fans down – there will be plenty of female oriented items released

Stay tuned for high res pictures from the event!

Yet another reveal’s come straight out of Winter Wonder Festival with a preview of Real Action Heroes Kamen Rider 1 and the Cyclone motorcycle having been just revealed.

While their currently is no word on when either of these two will be release, Wonder Festival did have something else for us with our first in hand look at RAH Genesis Ghost Ore Damashii being on display with the LEDs in full effect, having been teased sometime ago. Ghost himself is set for release in November 2016 with a price tag of 35,000 yen.

While Winter Wonderfest doesn’t always yield a ton of new toku reveals we have our first so far for the show. Just teased earlier in the week and now on display is Ultra-Act X S.H. Figuarts Manga Ultra Seven!

Ultra Seven AKA Ultraman ver 7.2, is set for release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for August & will retail for 6480 yen. Though currently the total breakdown of his accessories is unknown, Seven will at least include his signature Specium Sword & scabbard.

under Power Rangers, Power Rangers Movie, Toy Fair

The folks of Bandai UK will be in attendance at this year’s Toy Fair UK as well as the Nuremberg Germany Toy Fair. They’ve taken out some pages in local UK magazines to announce this as well as state what exactly is to be expected this 2016 for Bandai products.

As will come as no surprise – the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie 2017 toys will begin to see release late in 2016, as well as Power Rangers Dino Supercharge. The article goes on to mention that promotion of the Power Rangers Dino Supercharge franchise is seen as a majority priority for Bandai UK, as new episodes of the show will begin airing in Summer 2016. At this year’s Toy Fair UK they will unveil new product for the line of figures.

Of note – this article still states January 13th, 2017 as the launch of the movie. We have since learned that the movie was pushed back once again until March 24th, 2017. Either way, this is great news for our friends in the UK! A special thanks to Red Ranger, better known on the network as Silver Optimus, for finding the news and sharing the scans!

And don’t forget – as usual, TokuNation.com will be at this year’s Toy Fair in New York City. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the show, which begins Saturday, February 13th.

“While the rest of the world was frozen, there was one person fighting to save us.”

Before the Roidmudes came in full force & Shinnosuke Tomari took up the mantle of Kamen Rider his predecessor roamed the streets saving the world in secret. Today we take a look at a long awaited release, a recent Tamashii Nations 2015 exclusive, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Proto-Drive!

A remold/repaint of the Drive Type Speed Figuart, Proto-Drive represents the initial form taken by Chase before his transformation into the Roidmude reaper Mashin Chaser. A simply gorgeous figure Proto-Drive comes in the same basic box as Type Speed & also brings with it a rather lackluster accessory count. But the figure more than makes up for it with pure style. While Proto-Drive may not have all the bells & whistles of a standard release it looks stunning and will more than compliment any Kamen Rider Drive collection. Plus he just looks right at home on the Ride Chaser!

We’ve assembled over 40 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Proto-Drive after the jump. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery and review!
