With the official reveal of the 38th Super Sentai team Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger due any day now, Japanese website Tokyo Sports has revealed some interesting tidbits of info to tide us over until then.

It seems that this new Sentai team is aimed at train collectors as well as children, so we should be seeing a wide variety of train types within the show! It will also be promoted at train stations across Japan.

The team are said to transform using electronic tickets, while also using a new naming scheme for the characters. They will be known as Tokkyu 1, Tokkyu 2 and onwards.

Discuss this latest news of the newest Super Sentai team after the jump!

The wild ride is over, Power Rangers Wild Force/Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger month has come to an end with this final Gallery! And today we’re taking a look at a very special release, DX Gao Hutner Silver Chrome edition! This promo set was only available in mainland Asia as a part of a special giveaway. It swaps nearly all plastic colors for silver chrome aside from some key points which feature flat grey plastic instead. These releases were not packaged in a complete boxed set like normal Gao Hunter but were instead released only in individual boxes.

It should be noted that while released in mainland Asia in Gaoranger packaging this set is actually based on the Korean release of the figure. And Korean Gaoranger DX’s are actually made from an entirely separate 2nd production run made specifically for release in that region. As a result diecast parts were removed in most cases and the plastics were of a significantly lower quality. However this set still features diecast shoulders. And it also has nylon strands under Gaolligator’s front legs that are present in the US release which secure them if they come off their hinges. Making this set is a bit of a frankenstein’s monster. As may be evident in the photos, reflective chrome is hard to photograph properly :p

So thanks so much for sticking with us throughout this long month of tributes and photos! Next month we close the year with Power Rangers Megaforce & Super Megaforce! To celebrate we’re going to be bringing you complete galleries of the entire DX line from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

Just a few short days before our Power Rangers Wild Force tribute is over and “Gaollery” number 15 is here! Straight from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger is this special repaint of DX Gao Hunter.

Gao Hunter Blue Moon appears only once in the course of Gaoranger. In Quest 40. This form was only accessible because Gao God sealed the Power Animals and Sky Island off from the Gaorangers leaving them helpless, as a test. Only Gao Silver was able to still call forth his Animals. And in the midst of losing a battle the other 5 Gaorangers boosted Hunters power by offering their own, creating Gao Hunter Blue Moon!

Blue Moon swaps all the green plastics of the standard release for blue, which effectively means that Gaolligator is the only figure that shows any differences, Hammerhead and Wolf are unchanged from their initial releases. Gao Hunter Justice is the only version of this mecha that’s capable of using this form in show as well. Though the DX toy can still assume Justice or Evil form.

AND be sure to tune in Sunday for a special bonus “Gaollery” to round out our month long tribute!

The hits just keep coming! Our tribute to Power Rangers Wild Force is almost over, but to wet your appetite before Thanksgiving here’s yet another gallery from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger! Today we focus on another special release, DX Gao Ape!

Gao Ape is along the same lines as the Black Gao King set[/URL] and at first glance you may assume it’s just a black repaint of Gao Gorilla. However it’s actually a repaint of Gao Kong and as such features the Gao Knight faceplate! So if you already own the Black Gao King, were able to get the rare TRU Gao Knight set with bonus Black Elephant, AND were able to get this Gao Ape figure via the mail in campaign then you can create what you see here, Black Gao Knight!

This figure was only available via a special mail in campaign through the Super Sentai Mecha Visual 1975-2002 Art Book. As such it’s an extremely limited release, and to cut costs it comes in a box that’s about 3 inches smaller than the normal Gorilla or Kong boxes. It also lacks the Gao Jewel figurine and Anchor Chain weapon as a result. And despite it’s nature as a repaint, Gao Ape is officially included in the master list of 100 Power Animals.

Several new images of the upcoming special Kyoryuger VS Go-Busters have given us a close look at the villains behind this explosion of saurian Sentais!

The Kyoryugers are confronted by Space WarGod Boldos who is able to resurrect several fallen villains as “Neo Enemies.” Among the returning foes are Grifforzer (Goldar to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fans), Gailton (known as Zeltrax to Power Rangers Dino Thunder fans) and several Golems (perhaps better recognized as the Putty Patrollers from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers).

Go-Busters’ enemies Enter & Escape are also said to be resurrected but are not featured among the scans.

Kyoryuger VS Go-Busters airs January 18, 2014!

You know the drill by now right? Well of course! It’s Power Rangers Wild Force month at Tokunation! And as we begin to round out our little series of “Gaolleries” we take a look at a very special release from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!

DX Black Gao King is a special repaint of the standard Gao King set done up in, you guessed it, black/silver, packed in a black/white version of the normal Gao King box. The set has a nice sleek uniform color scheme that’s very pleasing to the eye. Though if you already have a normal Gao King this may not be a set you’d want to double up with. The Black Gao Elephant released with the TRU Gao Knight set[/URL] is also a perfect addition to this set allowing you to make a full on Black Gao King Sword & Shield!

Of course this set is part of a long long tradition of black repaints not only for sentai, but for mecha shows in general. The first black edition sentai robo being the Black Daizyujin later altered for release in the US as the Black MMPR Megazord.

Tokunation’s month long celebration of Power Rangers Wild Forceis about to come to a close! With only a few galleries left today we take a look at the Toys R Us Japan exclusive DX Gao Knight set from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!

At the heart of Gao Knight is a Power Animal exclusive to the Gaoranger film, The Fire Mountain Roars, Gao Kong! Kong is a repaint and slight remold of Gao Gorilla with a new combined mode face plate. The same accessories are included however down to the Anchor Chain and Gao Jewel figure, though the Gorilla or Kong rather is cast in Gold now.

You may ask what makes the TRU set so exclusive? Well a proper Gao Knight requires the standard blue Gao Elephant. This one is special because it includes a Black Gao Elehpant for use with the separately released Black Gao King. This is an exquisite set that shows just how far some extra paint apps and a remold can go. Kong itself was released individually before this set, hence the added bonus of this set including Black Gao Elephant.
