Some new images for the next entry in the Mashin Sentai Kiramager toyline have recently been posted online!

This is our best look yet at the King Express– the second Mecha in the Kiramager lineup.

King Express is formed by fusing two KirameStones:

*The white Mashin Express
*The purple Mashin Jokai.

Through the dark energies of the Yoden Army, Mashin Jokai[/b] can also transform into a Tyrannosaurus-based Mecha known as Smog Jokai.

The DX King Express set is currently scheduled for release in April 2020!

If you’ve been keeping up with recent events, then you may know about coronavirus or COVID-19 and the impact that this awful disease has had on not just the world, but some of our general interests as well. It has just come to our attention that one of the lead actors of Mashin Sentai Kiramager, Rio Komiya aka Kiramei Red contracted the virus and Toei Studios has shut down as a result.

Fortunately, a good chunk of episodes up till the middle of May have been shot but filming was put on halt last weekend, and at this time we have no further information on what sort of delays this will cause.

We at TokuNation wish Rio and anyone else that may have contracted this virus a speedy recovery. We’ll be sure to update you as soon as more information becomes available so stay tuned for future updates.   

 

UPDATE April 3rd, 2020:

An official statement was released from Toei earlier today. A translation reveals that Toei Studios did not, in fact, shut down operations that day and was misinformation spread by the Japanese press.

MASHIN GATTAI!

A new month’s almost upon us, and a fresh set of magazine scans have been found online, here’s the latest on what Toei has in store for Mashin Sentai Kiramager!

A brand new mecha will be added to the Kiramger’s arsenal; King Express! King Express is made up of two train-like vehicles: one of which can transform into a dinosaur-like mode.

Do note that the names of the individual train have yet to be fully translated at the time of this writing, but we’ll be sure to update you as soon as that info becomes available.

“Let’s get this party started!”

In the near future of 2025, Emperor Grumm and his Troobian Empire seek to destroy the fragile peace between alien and human kind on Earth. Having lost one team of Power Rangers already, the defense of Earth falls to the SPD B-Squad! Compiled of 3 new recruits and 2 kids off the street, the odds are stacked against them. But under the leadership of the reluctant Jack Landors, Earth may just stand a chance!

The SPD Red Ranger is our inaugural gallery from Power Rangers Lightning Collection Wave 4. A recently released wave both at retail and online, it’s off to a strong start with Jack here. While this base mold here is something we’ve seen a number of times with some parts differentiation, it’s undeniable how stylish the SPD/Dekaranger suit design is and just well it translates to figure form. Equipped with twin combining SPD Blasters, blaster effect a Delta Morpher, two more hands, and a Jack Landors unmasked head, this figure will fit right into to any ranger/sentai collection as the best of both worlds.

You can check out our full 70+ image gallery and read our full review of the SPD Red Ranger after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a brand new Kamen Rider Build gallery, of Kamen Rider Evol!

RYUSOUL CHANGE!

Ryusoulger’s final episode debuted this past weekend, and P-Bandai is commemorating this departure with a new roleplay item: The Ryusoul Calibur Memorial Edition!

The key difference here is that the blade’s been extended when compared to the DX Toy, the Ryusoul Ken Memorial Edition will also include pre-recorded lines from the cast in addition to a BGM change gimmick akin to some Complete Selection items. Red’s Ryusoul is included with this product, though at this time it isn’t clear if the other DX Ryusouls will be able to function in this.

None the less, the Ryusoul Ken Memorial Edition will retail for 16,500 yen. Pre-orders for this item will begin March 2nd with the cut off date being April 20th. The sword will then ship out in September.

The latest round of magazine scans has given us our best look yet at the 44th Super Sentai series, Mashin Sentai Kiramager!

These scans offer some profiles for the five newest Sentai heroes-

*The Inspiring Genius, Kiramei Red!
*The King of Esports, Kiramei Yellow!
*The Fastest Legs in Japan, Kiramei Green!
*The Famous Action Star, Kiramei Blue!
*The Affectionate Healer, Kiramei Pink!

Each Kiramager has bonded with a sentient jewel known as a Mashin– and the Mashin can offer different effects in combat based on the Kiramagers’ imagination. The Mashin can transform into giant Mecha & take on various configurations. When all five Mashin unite to form Kiramaizin, they can unleash the powerful Kiramei Dynamic strike to finish off enemies!

Three Auxiliary Mashin have been revealed & each one adds a new power to Kiramaizin-

*Mashin Carry becomes a giant shield
*Mashin Lifton turns into a trident
*Mashin Rolland converts to a massive hammer

And more Mashin may be uncovered as the series continues!

Lastly, we have some details on the villains who attack the Kiramagers- the Dark Empire Yodonheim! Led by the Demonic General of Betrayal Galza and aided by the Mask of Darkness Carantula this group seeks to steal hope and radiance from the universe; they despise all that shines.

Each attack from a Yodonheim creature harvests negative energy. Once enough power is gathered, the Yodonheim can open an Invasion Gate to summon a giant creature. In some cases, the Yodonheim can even create dark Mashin (known as Smog Jouki) to attack the Kiramagers!

Mashin Sentai Kiramager officially begins March 8 2020! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new chapter in Super Sentai history!

Joining alongside the previously revealed Minipla Kiramazin, we, of course, have candy toy representations of the main team themselves with our first look at the Yu-Do Mashin Sentai Kiramager team.

The premie of Mashin Sentai Kiramager is right around the corner, and a new assortment of Minipla will be arriving with it. Bandai is hitting the ground running with our very first look at the Minipla Kiramazin model kit.

The case assortment hasn’t been disclosed, but we do know that Minipla Kiramazin will be dropping in March 2020 retailing for 2160 yen. An all-clear version of this kit was also revealed, but that model appears to be tied to some sort of campaign event, so whether or not it will hit P-Bandai isn’t known at this time.
