After a triumphant return to cinema earlier this summer, the King of the Monsters is now making the move back into video games!
Bandai Namco is developing a new Godzilla video game for the Playstation 3, said to be released this winter. Details about the game content are sparse at the moment but a brief teaser trailer was released early today!
Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting new project!
As is usual with this time of the month the Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom displays have been updated. Though so far only one toku item has been put into the displays, it’s a big one. S.H. Monsterarts “Legendary” Godzilla! Named so based on his appearance in the 2014 Godzilla reboot from Legendary Pictures.
This figure is due for release in Japan in September for 6800 yen. The Bluefin Distribution release of this figure will likewise be coming out in October for $67.99. If you’d like to pre-order this awesome looking figure then head on over to our site sponsor BigBadToyStore. It’s listed at BBTS for $67.99 as well.
Our site sponsor, BigBadToyStore.com, has sent out their latest newsletter alerting everyone of their new arrivals and their new pre-orders!

The Bandai Tamashii Nations website has uploaded full galleries of its forthcoming September releases, and kicking things off is S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla (2014), based off of the King of Monsters’ appearance in the brand new Godzilla film from Legendary Pictures.
Stomping in for a price of 7344 yen, according to his official page Godzilla sadly features no additional accessories. While he is scheduled for a September release in Japan, Bluefin Tamashii Nations will likely follow with an October release in the US. We’ll keep you updated when this is confirmed.

Before the epic crossover with our friends at RangerCommand comes out, we have some movie stuff to talk about! Join Chris (@rankal), Jordan (@DenO_TokuNation), and Tom (@SoulInkChu) as they discuss the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie reboot that was announced a couple weeks back, and then stick around as they discuss everything about the blockbuster hit Godzilla.
NOTE! If you haven’t seen the new Godzilla movie, this podcast episode contains INCREDIBLY DETAILED SPOILERS! If you do not wish to be spoiled, do not listen to this episode. Or at least turn the Godzilla portion on mute!
Episode details – the boys talk Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reboot, and two of the three podcasters think the movie will be a blockbuster flop. Hear their reasons as to why and as the lone podcaster who is hopeful tries his best to defend the franchise and the possible success of the movie. The boys then talk Godzilla – including the overall story of the movie, what worked and didn’t work, their favorite parts, and what monsters they’d like to see Godzilla take on in a sequel. There’s also a moment where Tom gets a little too excited about his trip to Japan and … well … you just have to hear it for yourself.
Once you’ve listened to the episode, feel free to discuss it here on the TokuNation.com forums. And stay till the end of the episode to hear a special promo for the upcoming crossover with Ranger Command Power Hour. Part 1 will focus discussion on the pro’s and con’s of American tokusatsu, namely Power Rangers, while part 2 (the next episode of Talkin Toku) will feature the pro’s and con’s of Japanese tokusatsu, namely Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. See you then, and take a listen to the episode below!
