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

Raiden Kamitsuki Gattai!

The original minipla fiend himself, Moonbasetom, is at it again with this gallery of Minipla Raiden Kyoryuzin Lightning Brave Finish Version from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!

This kit represents Raiden Kyoryuzin just at the moment it uses the  Lighting Brave Finish attack. Hence the very awesome mix of orange and yellow translucent plastics to replicate the energy of the attack. As with all of these special multi-box premium minipla sets, some awesome gold foil labels are also included to really spice up the kit. This set was originally a Bandai Premium Webshop exclusive released last month for 3675 yen. Check your favorite secondary retailers now to find this set!

Mahou Sentai Magiranger continues on Let’s Watch Wednesdays at Tokunation!

The key has been found! The woman “Rin” is who the Magirangers must protect. But does she merely have the key, or is she the key itself? Or will she reveal herself to be something much more? Wolzard has finished amassing dark power as well. His chance to battle a Heavenly Saint has come. And the Hades Gate will appear, will the Infershia legions slip through? Will Branken actually be the victorious general at last? A new darkness will rise, very soon.

As always we’d like you to join us in our weekly discussion thread for LWW. Just click “Discussion the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to head right over!

After some initial teasing during the Toq6 magazine scans, we now have a close look at ToQGer’s special movie form used in “Hesei VS Showa: Featuring Super Sentai!”

The combinations’ official name is “ToQOh Kyoryuzin, Featuring Den-Liner!” This Mecha will be piloted through a joint effort of Kyoryu Red, Den-O Sword Form and the ToQGers!

As of this writing the Go-Buster Ace Ressha also seen in toy scans does not appear to contribute to this movie combination. Perhaps the G0-Busters have once again been left out in the cold. We will find out full details in the “Hesei VS Showa: Featuring Super Sentai” Movie War, premiering March 29!

Kanpai Senshi After V is a new Sentai parody show about what a Super Sentai team might do after a long hard day’s work of fighting evil. The show focuses on a team called Golden Warriors Treasure V, during the day they fight off the forces of evil but at night they crash at a local bar and bicker with one another.

The series stars Toku alumni Murai Ryota(Alternate Kuuga from Kamen Rider Decade) as the Red of the team in addition to Kato Kazuki(Kamen Rider Drake and The NEXT V3) as the blue ranger.

While faces new to our fandom include actress Kikkawa Yu playing the role of Pink, Buffalo Goro A as Green, and Comedian Tobinaga Tsubasa in the role of Green.

After V is set to begin televised broadcast starting April 7th.

We now have our first look at ToQOh’s first add-on Mecha combos!

Previously hinted at in early toy scans, these new images reveal the full power of ToQGer’s imaginative combinations!

*The blue Tank Ressha creates ToQOh Tank, granting ToQOh super punching powers

*The yellow Car Carrier Ressha can send out a fleet of miniature ToQGer vehicles to attack the enemies!

Both new Resshas should be appearing on-screen and in-stores relatively soon. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

Looks like another exciting crossover is coming down the tracks from Toei!

Shison Jun (Toq 1) revealed a photo on his blog that the newest Super Sentai & current Kamen Rider will share the screen in a crossover episode airing March 30th!

This will be the second time the ToQGers come face-to-face with Kamen Rider Gaim (they share screentime in the recent “Hesei VS Showa” Movie War) and is the second in-series crossover between Super Sentai & Kamen Rider (the first being Samurai Sentai Shinkenger’s special appearance in Kamen Rider Decade).

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this fresh and imaginative team-up!

It’s time for another trip down memory lane with the original dionsaur sentai. From Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger it’s S.H. Figuarts Armed Tyranno Ranger! This recent Tamashii Web Exclusive release is better known to western fans as the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger, it was released in North American markets by Bluefin in Power Rangers 20th Anniversary packaging.

This figure represents Geki, Tyranno Ranger, after the death of Burai/Dragon Ranger. He inherited the Dragon Ranger powers from his brother and with them control over the mighty Dragon Caesar! This event was interpreted in the US MMPR adaptation as the Green Ranger powers being weakened and requiring a temporary host in the Red Ranger. The real world explanation for this is the above Zyuranger scenario, at the time no more footage was available of the Green Ranger. In the source footage he was literally dead. It wasn’t until the “Zyu2” footage was created by Toei that the Green Ranger could return on temporary occasions.

Overall this figure takes the best elements of both Tyranno & Dragon Rangers and crafts one excellent toy with them. If you have either of the other 2 figures you may feel this one is superfluous. Trust us, it isn’t. It’s another excellent addition to any Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers collection and will complement your other figures well.
