Just over 1 month ago TokuNation began the countdown to today, January 5th 2014, which marks our official 3 year anniversary!

Over the course of December & the first week of January we posted over 20 image galleries of various toys running the entire spectrum of tokusatsu. The goal? To give our users the chance to discuss these incredible toys. The result of these discussions? Every time a post was made in these threads, the users making them automatically had their names put into a random drawing for 1 of 4 MASSIVE Prize Packs for our annual Toku Toy Box Giveaway!

With 21 galleries, 66,000 page views, over 1700 posts, and a slew of new users joining the fray, we’re at long last ready to reveal the 4 winners of our prize packs! Check out the video below to see who the lucky winners are!

CONGRATULATIONS to our 4 winners and thanks once again for another incredibly successful year here at TokuNation.com! We can’t wait to do this again!

A blast from the past, 1993 to be exact, the titular hero of the film Kamen Rider ZO has arrived in S.H. Figuarts form!

Rounding out the end of 2014 S.H. Figuarts releases is Kamen Rider ZO. From the second film in Toei’s trio of 90’s rider movies, ZO (spoken as Zet-O) is in that murky era that Toei considers Showa, but is actually Heisei. In any case this Showa Rider is one of the more streamlined suits of his era diverging largely from his predecessor Kamen Rider Shin. ZO includes several sets of additional hands as well as an alternate head featuring his Break Toother mouthplate, as well as small Grasshopper with optional wing parts. This grasshopper is one of those used by Dr. Mochizuki to contact ZO telepathically throughout the film.

With 50 images to view after the jump, is there any better way to round out our Toku Toy Box galleries than with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider ZO? This gallery marks your FINAL chance to enter into our giveaway. Simply post in the discussion thread after the jump to be entered in for a chance to win our Top Gear Rider Legends Prize Pack! Winners of all 4 prize packs will be chosen tomorrow. Official rules as well as prize pack breakdowns can be viewed here.

We look to the past
As we head towards the future
To reclaim the Digital world

With faith in ourselves
And trust in each other
We live by the lessons we learned

As we work towards one solution
Through a spirit evolution

It’s the end of 2014 and the start of 2015 and Talkin Toku is ringing in the New Year the way they do best – by being late to it! Join Kickback aka Chris, Den-O aka Jordan and Sentai Tamashii aka Tom as they spend 2 horribly long hours reflecting on 2014 and looking ahead to 2015!

Before the reflection begins – it’s time to talk current Toku! Join in the discussion of their continued thoughts as more and more of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is revealed! And the question everyone has on their minds … has Tom even seen the trailers for the damn show?! We also take a look at the extended Power Rangers Dino Charge (and discover if Tom has watched that trailer too).

Then we reflect on 2014. What was the Best Toku Toy of 2014? And the Worst Toku Toy of 2014? Reflecting on the year of news itself, What was the biggest Toku news of 2014? And the question that no one is going to accurately guess the answer to … our opinion on Which of the 3 Toku shows (Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Kamen Rider Gaim, and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) had the best ending? We also take a moment to read YOUR answers to those questions – thanks to everyone who submitted their thoughts/opinions/answers!

And by popular demand … the return of Toku Company’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2015 … what we think Bandai of America, Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Tamashii Nations, Bandai Japan, Saban Brands Entertainment, and Shout! Factory should have for New Year’s Resolutions!

Join us in this end of the year celebration as we celebrate a staggering average of 1.25 episodes a month and promise to do better in 2015!

Check out the images and then join in the discussion! Kamen Rider Mach just made his debut in the last episode of Kamen Rider Drive – get a better look at his suit and discuss whether or not it’s a fitting design!

Dinosaur Might, Ready to Fight!

TokuNation’s look at the worlds latest prehistoric heroes continues with a new gallery! Today we’re looking at the Power Rangers Dino Charge 5″ Red Ranger!

The inaugural release from Dino Charge’s take on the 5″ line, Dino Charge Red Ranger takes the basics established by the Super Megaforce 5″ figures and adds a layer of detailing and intricacy that was much needed. While the 5″ line is definitely more for collector’s on a budget it’s certainly not without merit and Dino Charge Red proves that. He has a fantastic range of motion, a hinged shoulder pad, intricate scaled detailing, and a pretty great likeness to his screen counterpart. Dino Charge Red also includes his Dino Saber & Dino Charge Morpher for weapons!

After the jump check out a complete 40 image gallery of this figure as well as a full review! Also don’t forget to leave a comment in this discussion thread as well. You’ll be automaticlaly entered in for a chance to win one of our Toku Toy Box Giveaway prize packs! In this case the Charged Up Rangers Mega Prize Pack! Full details of prize pack breakdowns & rules for entry are posted here.
