Once again it’s the time of year that the community and our staff love most – time for all of us to celebrate our respective holidays & traditions with the friends and loved ones we hold dear. But it’s also time for TokuNation.com to celebrate itself. Our little community is hitting another milestone this year, our 8 year anniversary!! January 4th 2020, will officially mark 8 years since TokuNation first went public as part of the network of TFW2005.COM, ToyArk.com, HissTank.com and of course our newest sister site PWRRNGR.com, through both network owner Tony_Bacala and our founder and original Editor-In-Chief, TokuChris.

For 8 years now we’ve posted news, rumors, toy galleries, videos, and even dabbled in podcasts for a bit (never forget Talkin Toku!). As times have changed we’ve done our best to change with them, delivering you content in different ways, covering new and exciting topics, and trying to improve our social outreach. But he one true constant that’s been with us since our first year, that you can expect every year? The annual Toku Toy Box giveaway!

Like years’ past, TokuNation is hosting an annual holiday giveaway open to ALL registered users! You’ll recall that in years’ past giveaways, users could post in a selection of galleries within the contest period to automatically be entered into the drawing for several prizes. Like last years giveaway, not only will we be posting a number of eligible galleries throughout the month of December, but every gallery we’ve posted in 2019 also makes you eligible! If you’ve already posted in the 1 of the over 40 galleries we’ve produced this year, then you’re already entered. If not, you already have over 40 chances with more on the way this month! To show our appreciation to you, the community, we’ve assembled a number of individual prizes for our users, which we’ll be revealing through out the month.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the OFFICIAL RULES for Toku Toy Box 2019! The first new gallery of the giveaway period will be posted later today, so be on the lookout! For now though, thank you. Thanks to all of you who continue to call this place your home for news, discussion, images, sales, friendships, artwork, videos, podcasts, and everything else in between. Happy Holidays from all of us, and best of luck in our giveaway! It’s our gift to you this, and every, holiday season!

The Tokyo Comic Con is currently underway in Japan this weekend and among the extensive displays from various companies is a special treat for Godzilla fans. Bandai Tamashii Nations have revealed their S.H. MonsterArts figures for next years Godzilla: King of the Monsters movie, with Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah on display!

This marks our first proper look at the three iconic kaiju that will be joining the King of the Monsters for this film, and though there have been some changes (Mothra’s body in particular) it’s clear that Legendary Pictures have remained relatively faithful to Toho‘s original designs.

Stay tuned to Tokunation for more news about these figures’ release as it comes, but in the meantime you can check out full-sized images of these fantastic re-imaginings after the jump!

It’s not often we get to cover astronomical details in this line of work, but this deserves some attention!

NASA has officially named a star constellation after the legendary King Of The Monsters, Godzilla.

According to the official filing -The unique star cluster grouping is (theorized) to contain high levels of gamma-jet rays, similar to Godzilla’s own Atomic Breath.

A most deserving accolade for the legendary kaiju!
