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!

So we’d like to know what are your thoughts on the showing from Bandai and Tamashii Nations this year?

Bandai has finally opened the show floor to the general public at Tamashii Nations 2015 and in doing so has released a series of their own hi-res images of their displays. First up is the entire S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost display! We’d seen a rumored list of figuarts on show yesterday and luckily it looks like all the Ghost items are actually there with only one figure (Specter) having been blurred out for now.

S.H. Figuarts:
Ghost Ore Damashii
Ghost Musashi Damashii
Ghost Edison Damashii
Ghost Newton Damashii
Ghost Robin Damashii

On top of the incredible looking S.I.C. Kamen Rider Gaim Orange Arms revealed earlier today we have new images showcasing 3 more S.I.C. Gaim Riders! No other information is available currently but we have initial images of:

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Baron Banana Arms

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Zangetsu Melon Arms

S.I.C. Kamen Rider Ryugen Budou arms

These 3 are already looking just as impressive as Gaim himself. Time will tell if these figures, or even Gaim, see an actual release. But for now enjoy these images as our coverage of Tamashii Nations 2015 continues!

Energize, Engage!

This one’s a little bit late but we’ve finally got a gallery and review ready to share of the NYCC 2015 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie Dino Charger Power Pack! And we’ve also included the concurrently released Toys ‘R’ Us exclusive Ninja Mega Falconzord Charger in this gallery!

The Movie Dino Charger pack is one supremely nice con exclusive as you’ll see in the photos attached to this article and in the full gallery. The packaging for this set is identical to the SDCC MMPR Charger Pack, all 6 Ranger Chargers are included and a spot is reserved on the end for the Ninja Mega Falconzord Charger. The 6 Movie Ranger Chargers feature the helmets, personal weapons, & Ninja Zords for each ranger as well as the Original Movie Logo within the rotating prism. While the Ninja Mega Falconzord Charger features a group shot of the team, the White Ranger Morpher & a full image of the Ninja Mega Falconzord itself!

We’ve assembled 80 images of this magnificent set after the jump as well as an in depth review. But first why not check out this brief video below showcasing the sound effects that these chargers make when interacting with the Dino Charge Morpher!

We reported this via our @TokuNation Twitter account yesterday, but we are also making a front page post at the behest of our friends at Bandai America who want to make sure that this information gets out to everyone as there was a lot of concern over the original details.

Regarding the Legacy Thunder Megazord: The individual zords that make up the Thunder Megazord will indeed combine with each other to form the classic attack sled just like the original release 20 years ago. The information before was uncertain but Bandai America is now confirming that the attack sled can indeed be formed by the individual zords.

Regarding the Legacy Falconzord: The original price listed in Toys’R’Us computers showed a suggested retail of $79.99. Many fans were upset as the Legacy Falconzord by itself does very little – it’s a bird that doesn’t turn in to anything and only acts as an attachment for the Ninja Megazord and the Shogun Megazord, which currently have not been announced as upcoming Legacy items but teased as such by Bandai America at NYCC 2015. Towards the end of the show, Bandai America reached out to us to confirm that the price of the Legacy Falconzord will be $59.99. This is great news for a lot of us as we believed the original price of $80 was too high.

A very special thanks to Greg Mitchell from Bandai America for the follow up on these questions. Please stay tuned as there’s a lot of great things coming from Bandai America for fans of both the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as well as fans of Power Rangers Dino Charge!
