Once again TokuNation has another classic gallery for you! A few weeks ago we posted our S.H. Figuarts Kikaider gallery, and today we’re sharing the follow up to that figure with S.H. Figuarts Hakaider! This cyborg is the product of the evil organization DARK, though he has an incredibly tragic secret and past as well. The arch nemesis of Kikaider, Hakaider appeared very late in the original TV series run but is easily the most memorable villain in the franchise.

Today’s gallery of S.H. Figuarts Hakaider focuses on this excellent figures sculpt as well as the heightened functionality it enjoys compared to Kikaider. Such as the higher accessory count with 3 pairs of hands, a replacement shin, and the trademark Hakaider Shot handgun. But let’s not forget Hakaider’s best gimmick, his removeable brain! Yes you did read that right, get ready to create all kinds of quirky scenarios with this cyborg soldier.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but a full 45 image gallery awaits after the jump, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post. And definitely be sure to post in this thread. The S.H.Figuarts Hakaider Gallery is one of our eligible Toku Toy Box entry threads! Simply join in the discussion after the jump for  your chance to win one of our 4 massive prize packs! Specifically this gallery will enter you in for our:

Type Formula! It appears that the next upgrade for Kamen Rider Drive has been revelead! Well sort of.

Today brings us not only more Ninninger images but also a pair of silhouettes for Drive. One gives us a decent look at the profile for Kamen Rider Drive Type Formula. The other is an advertisement for the upcoming Tire Koukan TK-09 figure of this form. Type Formula appears to keep in line with the basic Drive style but it appears to move the TK gimmick once again, but this time to the figures wrists! A rather large spoiler has also been added to Drive’s shoulder/neck area! The accessory included is this forms new weapon, the Trailer Cannon!

TK-09 Drive Type Formula will be 3500 yen.

Nininininininininininininini Ninninger!

The crew of Talkin Toku is back yet again with an action packed episode promising to dull your senses and cause you regret! Join Chris “Kickback”, Jordan “Den-O”, and Tom “Sentai Tamashii” for this trip down toku discussion lane!

Did you get your S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms figure yet? We did – and we’re not happy. Listen to us rant about what all three agree is the worst quality controlled product to come out of Tamashii Nations in quite awhile. We also discuss Power Rangers Dino Charge toys – namely the Dino Charge Megazord – and whether or not we think it’s a good toy and what, if anything, it has over it’s predecessor the Legendary Megazord from Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

EXCLUSIVE! Tom fails at being a good administrator at a leading tokusatsu website community. The plus side? You get to hear his reaction to the first image of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger during the podcast. What does he think? This is actually a pretty neat thing because how often does a fan of Super Sentai have their first reaction to the new series recorded? Check it out, it’s a pretty fun listen. We also touch on speculation of the upcoming series including what our thoughts are on possible henshin devices and so forth. And marbles. That’s right – marbles. Tom talks marbles. I can’t make this up if I tried. Just listen.

Power Rangers Dino Charge had the theme song and the smart phone app come out. Does it get the seal of approval from the guys? What about the theme song – what works, what doesn’t work, and does it hold up? Tom gives his $0.02 as he describes his youngest son’s reaction to the theme song.

We also take an in-depth look at the extended episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce as we end our discussion on the series that seems to have divided part of the fandom in terms of “IT SUCKS” versus “IT KIND OF SUCKS”. What parts of the extended episode were good? Which were unnecessary? And was it really as special as we all thought it was? Jordan gives his rundown on why he feels it was a lackluster extended battle, while Chris and him get in to it about one of the more fandom-popular moments of the extended Legendary Battle.

Finally – we talk some Toku Toy Box giveaway as the episode ends. Have you registered on TokuNation.com yet and posted in the eligible threads so you can win? You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, but don’t miss your chance at entering in each qualifying thread!

Enjoy! Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!
