The boys of the Talkin Toku Podcast are back at it with the release of their 9th episode, Attack of the No No Cat (blame Tom for that one). Join your hosts Kickback (Chris, @rankal), Den-O (Jordan, @DenO_Tokunation), and Sentai Tamashii (Tom, @SoulInkChu) as they touch on a number of topics from last week in the world of tokusatsu!

Some of the hot topics discussed – their reactions on the international trailer for the new Godzilla movie, their thoughts on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic from Free Comic Book Day and just why Saban Brands did nothing to promote it (as well as some behind-the-scenes knowledge in the world of comics from our very own Sentai Tamashii, who works a freelance colorist and has done jobs for Marvel, DC, IDW Publishing, and Archie Comics), some good old fashioned toy talk with Kachidoki Arms and S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold, and the usual show talk of Kamen Rider Gaim and Ressha Sentai ToQGer. But there’s even more stuff that’s discussed throughout the episode, including the No No Cat, spooky haunted microphones and/or alien contact, follow up on our last toy debate on Tamashii Nations and Super Sentai Figuarts, and so much more. Take a listen below!

Kickback also discusses the Fruit Henshin Contest and some details of the upcoming crossover episode with our good friends from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast scheduled for later this month. All the show details are below – do us a favor and click “Discuss” and share your thoughts! Till next time!

It’s time for another TokuNation.com contest/give-away! As we’ve teased on both our Facebook page as well as our @TokuNation twitter feed, we’re giving away some stuff from the Kamen Rider Gaim Arms Change toy line as well as the Lockseed toy line! This contest starts RIGHT NOW and lasts until Sunday, May 25th 2014.

The contest is simple – take a picture of yourself (or have someone else do it for you) in a henshin/morphing pose (your favorite pose, or your own pose) while holding a piece of fruit! Feel free to add special effects to your picture, just please note that the entire concept of the contest is for you to be holding an actual piece of fruit (ie: don’t digitally edit a fruit in to your picture, it must be included in the picture to begin with). If you cosplay, you can get some bonus points from our judges if you include yourself in costume. Once finished, send your picture in an E-mail to contest@tokunation.com. Include your full name, TokuNation.com forum name (if applicable), and Twitter handle (if applicable). Deadline to enter is Sunday, May 25th 2014. Winners to be announced on or near Sunday, June 1st 2014.

The grand-prize winner will have their choice of one of two prize packages – either the package containing the Arms Change Kamen Rider Baron and Arms Change Kamen Rider Zangetsu Shin, or the package containing the Gashapon Kamen Rider Agito Lockseed and Fresh Orange Lockseed. The runner-up will receive the package the grand-prize winner did not select.

YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER TO ENTER. CONTEST IS OPEN TO RESIDENTS WORLD-WIDE.

For a full list of rules and such, simply click the discussion thread for the contest here. Questions about the contest should also be posted in that thread. Best of luck to everyone who enters!

EDIT: Turns out this was a piece of fan work. Oh well, we’ll see you when the real news breaks later folks!

It appears we may have our first behind the scenes look at Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms! The details are still sketchy on this image, but it was posted by user Poraemon of the HJU forums.  Though this is just a shot of the helmet it’s certainly interesting. The latest teaser image of this form  is also shown next to it for comparison.

Feel free to speculate away on the validity of this image as we attempt to confirm it!

As a self-proclaimed giant Kamen Rider Gaim fan, I had no qualms with purchasing this statue from Banpresto! What I didn’t expect was just how amazing this statue is – both with the details and the overall quality – and it is now become a centerpiece for my Kamen Rider Gaim collection!

Standing at over a foot tall with the stand, the statue is hallow making it light weight. The paint is, for the most part, perfectly applied (there’s some smearing on the leg paint where there’s gold on the criss-cross pattern of his suit). But the details on everything from the visor, the Sengoku Driver, the Pine and Ichigo Lockseeds, the Musou Saber, and the armor itself makes this statue a must-own for any die-hard fan of Kamen Rider Gaim.

Into Battle! Hey Hey Oh!

It’s time for our gallery and review of the newest retail release in the Arms Change line from Kamen Rider Gaim! This one’s the beast, the tank, the immovable object that is Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms! 

This bulky form is so far Gaim’s most powerful in the series and as a toy it’s yet another fantastic entry in the line. If you aren’t sold on Arms Change by now you are certainly missing out! See how this figure and it’s higher accessory count stacks up against the older release in the line, and as an added bonus you can see how the Kachidoki Arms look on every previously released AC Rider, AND vice versa! Perhaps you need more convincing than just these images?

Then why not take a look at our gooody buddy baltmatrix’s video review of this figure as well!

In the last week, new images of upcoming Arms Change releases have been piling up. First Bravo, then Sigurd & Marika, and now the next retail release from the line. Arms Chage AC12 Kamen Rider Duke!

Duke of course comes with his Lemon Energy Arms and the trademark weapon of the Energy Riders, the Sonic Arrow. Bandai has also been kind enough to tease us with the Lemon Energy Arms equipped to Kamen Rider Baron!

Duke is set for release later this month so be on the lookout for him at your favorite retailers. And for now be sure to check out all the official images after the jump!
