With the release of the YU-DO Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs Keisatsu Sentai Patranger candy toy figures due at the end of this month, the Bandai Candy Toy blog has featured a new post taking a closer looking at the six figures along with their packaging and accessories. It also gives buyers a closer look at what the figures will look like without any of the stickers applied, so if you’re a fan of painting them this is your opportunity to see just how much work it’ll be!

However as with most of the blog’s posts the images end with a sneak peak of what else the line has in store – a YU-DO Poderman! The Gangler mook figure is still very much in the prototype stage but is looking great so far, and a positive sign that the line will continue on into at least a second wave.

Could more Ganglers be on the way too? Check out the full selection of images after the jump and let us know your thoughts!

Some new images from the most recent Super Sentai merchandising catalog have surfaced online, giving us a quick look at the ever-expanding arsenal of Mecha to be used in Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger!

A total of THREE new Mecha are shown off in this new catalog-

*The zeppelin-based Magic DialFighter
*The fire-engine-based Trigger Machine Splash

Both these new entries should add some much needed versatility to both teams.

Topping off this lineup is the Jackpot Striker! A golden crowned repaint of the GoodStriker, this appears to be the Movie-exclusive Mecha for this years’ Super Sentai special feature.

And rounding off the reveals this time around is a special Mecha Combo! The LupinRangers’ Dial Fighters & the PatRangers’ Trigger Machines will unite (along with the Mecha belonging to upcoming new Ranger Lupin/Pat X) to create a form tentatively known as Good Cool Kaiser VSX.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for these Ranger teams! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all LupinRanger VS PatRanger reveals.

Get ready to blast off into outer space! Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger will be the next Super Sentai series to head to South Korea dubbed in Korean under the Power Rangers Galaxy Force(Not to be confused by the Transformers series of the same name) name along with a spiffy new logo.

At the moment, there is no word on when this dub will air but this is exciting news for collectors and Kyuuranger fans. South Korea will often produce their own take on Sentai toys as seen with the new Zyuohger DX Mecha revealed just a few weeks ago, so it’s entirely possible for Bandai’s South Korea division to the same with Kyuuranger.


Of course, this is all just speculative but we’ll be sure to provide you with more info on this as it breaks.

On this day 43 years ago, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger debuted in Japan as the very first Super Sentai team (though simply referred to as a “Sentai” team until 1994 when it officially became listed as “Super Sentai” with the current series). On April 5th 1975, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger aired in Japan marking the beginning of something no one could ever predict. Super Sentai managed to survive the brink of cancellation more than a few times to bring us some of the most memorable tokusatsu stories and characters for over four decades.

And of course – without Super Sentai there would be no Power Rangers. With the advent of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, using adapted footage from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, Power Rangers took the Japanese Super Sentai worldwide with an American spin on the stories that exists till this day (and celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary).

Please join our anniversary thread and share YOUR favorite Super Sentai series and characters and villains! It’s incredibly rare for properties and shows to last more than a handful of years. For Super Sentai to last 43 years is quite a feat worthy of celebration!

Toei has announced several new details about the upcoming VS film, Uchu Sentai KyuRanger VS Space Squad!

Set four years after the conclusion of the KyuRangers’ series, this film centers around a unique new device known as the Neo KyuTama, which may have the power to restore the damage done to the universe by Jark Matter. But when the Neo KyuTama is stolen, its power is instead used to revive fallen warriors with strong ties to the Planet Earth!

The revived villains in question are:

*Mele from Juuken Sentai GekiRanger, played once again by Yuka Hirata
*Juza Fuwa from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger– with actor Mitsuru Karahashi resuming his role
*Basco Ta Jolokia of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger fame- featuring Kei Hosogai reprising the part
*Escape from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters– Ayame Misaki takes up this character once again

Definitely an exciting reunion of talented Super Sentai alumni!

KyuRanger VS Space Squad is currently scheduled for release on August 8 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exiting new project!

Dobotsu Gattai!

It’s not uncommon for Korea to release new products years after a Sentai show has come to an end in its native country. We’ve seen them release an entirely new line of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Toys under the Power Rangers Dino Force Brave  name, along with a ToqOh variant during it’s run.

This time, Korea brings us two new variants: Titan King based on Zyuoh King and Burst King based on the Zyuoh Wild mold as part of their Power Rangers Animal Force toy line.

Titan King and Burst King will both be released at mass retail on the Korean market, overseas collectors will most likely need to turn to Ebay or gmarket if your looking to add these pieces to your Zyuohger collection.
