In celebration of the Power Rangers and their anniversary season, our very own conundrum is taking you back in time so you can Shift in to Turbo with a look at an older figure – the 8 inch Quick Draw Phantom Ranger figure!  For those of you who remember Power Rangers Turbo, the Phantom Ranger was an ally to the Power Rangers.  He would appear in both Power Rangers Turbo and Power Rangers In Space, but his true identity was never revealed (but the speculation runs rampant to this day).  If you’re more a fan of the Sentai side of things, then you recognize the figure as the VRV Master from Gekisou Sentai Carranger, an ally but not an official 6th Ranger to the team.  Unfortunately, due to his lack of an appearance in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, the probability that he appears in Power Rangers Super Megaforce is slim, as his costume was never seen on set.

So we’ll celebrate him right here!  Take a trip down memory lane and click the discussion link at the bottom, or simply click here to see the full gallery!

At last year’s Toy Fair, Bandai announced the domestic release of the DX Gosei Great mould that saw release in Japan akin to the Samurai Megazord.

The toy has finally resurfaced and is now available for pre order  on Amazon. Though the website lists it as the “Legendary Megazord”, the toy photoed is indeed the Gosei Great  not to confuse it with the US name for Gokaioh.

No word on a street date was given, but Amazon.com lists the Nihon Edition DX Gosei Great for $80 with a Free Shipping listing available.

We’re almost at the halfway point of Let’s Watch Wednesdays @ TokuNation featuring Mahou Sentai Magiranger!

Hikaru, has taken it upon himself to guide & teach the Ozu family. Using the powers of Magi Shine and the Heavenly Steel God Travellion he’s more than a match for most Infershia. But Wolzard has once again returned, with a new sword forged of N-Ma’s fang! To turn the Magirangers to darkness he will attempt to defeat a Heavenly Saint once again. And Tsubasa will tempt fate and the universe to use Reverse Magic. To save the souls of many, he may lose his own.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, this is the part where we link you to this weeks discussion. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to join in our weekly roundtable on all things Magi(ranger)cal.

Even though Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger has ended, the release of the S.H. Figuarts of the series are just beginning to ramp up with Kyoryu Blue and Green seeing release this last week.  Releasing as Bandai Premium Web Exclusives, the set will cost most collectors around $100 after shipping.  Our very own KamenRiderOOO received his figures and took a nice, high-resolution gallery to whet your desire for the Kyoryugers … also to be known as the Power Rangers Dino Charge Rangers in 2015!

These figures come with a lot of accessories similar to that of the already-released S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Red, which saw a general release at retail.  To check out the full 50+ gallery, either click on the discussion link at the bottom of this post, or simply click right here!  As a personal owner of these figures, if you’re a fan of Kyoryuger then I can’t recommend these figures enough!  If you’re a passing fan or collector, these are essentially the same figures as Kyoryu Red.  Check out the gallery for all the details.  Kyoryu Change!

It’s time for another ride on the Rainbow Line! 

Today we’re taking a look at the DX ToQ Buckle set! This buckle set of course includes the Rainbow Pass necessary to board the Rainbow Line in show. And the included DX Shield Ressha can be used to equip your DX ToQ Oh with, you guessed it, a  shield! But is this set really worth it for what you get? Enough bang for your buck?

You decide after checking out our full gallery. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to let us know what you think! We’ll be back later this week with galleries & reviews of the DX ToQ Blaster & DX ToQ Changer!

Tenku Henshin!

Mahou Sentai Magiranger is back! And Let’s Watch Wednesdays just keep on rolling along, and this week we brought a train! It’s time for a new warrior and a transforming train of magical justice for this installment!

Branken is defeated. And the Magitopian traitor Raigel has revived as the madou priest, Meemy! Using his dark powers he’ll revive the Hades Beast Men, so it looks like it’s time for a new hero to appear! Smoky, the wish granting genie of the lamp! Though he doesn’t seem so heroic on his own. But perhaps his master will appear? A cursed golden hero, freed by a kiss? The shining solar elemental, Magi Shine! And he brings with him the mighty Travellion!

GO FOR IT! 

The full version of Ressha Sentai Toqger’s  opening theme song is scheduled for release later this month.

ColumbiaMusicJP was kind enough to release a short TV-sized preview of the official music video for the song, via Youtube performed by Daiki Ise.

The single for Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger’s opening theme song is due out March 19th. In the mean time you can see the video in the box below which is just as uplifting as song itself:

It’s time for the ultimate Den-O/Baltmatrix team-up that no one demanded but you all deserve!

The 38th Super Sentai has officially entered the station, and with it comes an avalanche of new toys! From Ressha Sentai ToQger today’s gallery is of the DX ToQ Oh! Composed of 5 Ressahs (train cars) DX ToQ Oh is a great example of what Bandai of Japan’s toy engineering can accomplish when they really try. It’s a fantastically efficient and intelligently designed toy. It’s solid as a stand alone set, and in conjunction with the role play toys.

Neither pictures nor video reviews can really convey how awesome it is. You need it in hand to really get on board the imagination train! Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to check out our full 80 image gallery!

And speaking of video reviews our good buddy and photo & content staff member Baltmatrix has one to share! Check out his video review of the DX ToQ Oh below! And stay tuned as he and I will be collaborating in the coming weeks on more ToQger product as well!

After the release of Episode 04, “The Longest Hiatus”, the hosts of Talkin Toku at the Nation vowed to never let such a long hiatus happen again. And then Kickback’s computer blew up, and an unintentional delay occured – creating the new longest hiatus. To make up for it we’re bringing you an episode crammed full of discussion on the things you want to hear us talk about! After being challenged by a listener and a good friend, there is no dedicated talk to Kamen Rider Gaim in this episode. That’s right – NO JUICY FRUIT. Instead, we focus on the bigger items that occured … Toy Fair 2014 with Sentai Tamashii, who was there and provided a ton of the information and images that we put up! We spend the most time discussing Power Rangers Super Megaforce and its first episode premiere – and end the show tasting the trainbow with discussion on the premiere episode of Ressha Sentai ToQGer! Here’s a more specific run down!

 

  • Kickback’s computer woes
  • A News Brief to touch on a few items we didn’t have time to discuss in full
  • Sentai Tamashii’s first hand experience of Toy Fair 2014
  • Why Sentai Tamashii can’t be allowed to attend conventions anymore
  • Power Rangers Dino Charge and the skipping of Tokumei Sentai GoBusters
  • Our thoughts on the premiere of Power Rangers Super Megaforce
  • Our thoughts on the use of the suits of Gosei Sentai DaiRanger
  • Tasting the Trainbow with Ressha Sentai ToQGer’s Premiere
  • An inappropriate conclusion involving Super Mega, Sentai Tamashii, and his wife
