For those of you who can remember 2017 (it’s been a minute already, we know!) one of the hardest items to obtain was a pre-order for the Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh. Promising a faithful release of the original figure but with modern day improvements (such as better paint deco, remolded pieces, and new accessories) the Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh sold out in pre-orders within just a couple of days.

Bandai Japan has recently updated their blog to give what would appear to be the final release version update on the upcoming Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh. The figure features brand new paint and looks incredible. The fists have been remolded, the sheath of the blade now matches what you saw in the show, and a second sword has been included so you can recreate the finishing move.

We’ve mirrored all the images here on the site. Click the title of the story to check them all out. Did you grab a pre-order for this? Sound off in discussion and let us know!

Also … you have until the end of the month to reach out to your middle man for a DX WonTiger, which as you know, can combine with the DX DaiRenOh.

A new Super Minipla Encyclopedia has just been released (images from Tendou Toys), and within it’s pages are a number of current and upcoming releases. Among these are also preliminary designs for other projects in the pipeline. So while not revealed physically yet, the most significant items of interest contained in the book are a trio of projects from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!

Following up from the soon to be released Liveman sets, Kakuranger makes a ton of sense given what the collector market is hoping for. And so far we have general design for Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, & Tsubasamaru! That’s quite the triple threat of new Super Minipla if this is indeed the next project the design team embarks on. With Zyuranger kits wrapped up and Liveman about to drop, these would be welcome additions indeed.

The Encyclopedia makes mention of several past sentai and even features some photos of vintage Candy Toy & Gashapon Robo sets from shows like Kousoku Sentai Turboranger. Could we see a series like that next on the horizon? We’ll be sure to update you if so!

“Appear Daizyujin!”

We know this one’s been out for a while, but when you’re dealing with something this incredible, it takes a bit of time to do the job right. So we’ve taken our time and shot an in depth gallery of nearly 200 images, with a full length 7 part review of this fantastic release. It’s well past time we share with you our in depth look at the Soul of Chogokin SOC GX-76 Daizyujin! Of course for the western collectors out there this is none other than the MMPR Megazord!

Daizyujin is that most iconic of Sentai mecha to those of us in the west. It’s gone through various toylines, updates, and revisions over the years, and finally Tamashii Nations has tackled it with an entry in their long line of SOC’s. This figure sat out to recreate the iconic designs of the 5 Guardian Beasts and their two combined forms using modern engineering. The results are near flawless. We have a die-cast laden, poseable, proportionate, and imposing figure to add to our collections. Special note, our review piece today (provided by the infinitely generous TokuChris) features the western Bluefin distribution exclusive packaging. Consisting of new MMPR themed box art.

We’ve attached the MASSIVE 195 image gallery of SOC Daizyujin to this post. But you can also read our lengthy review of this set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. This gallery & review were a labor of love for me. And if you’re a fan of Zyuranger or MMPR, I hope it does the job of making you want this set.

With the latest round of magazine scans hitting the Internet, it is time to see what lies ahead for Kaito Sentai LupinRanger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger!

*A new DialFighter is added to the LupinRangers’ arsenal- the Cyclone DialFighter! This green helicopter can create electrically-charged tornadoes & replaces the left arm in the teams’ LupinKaiser configuration (a combo known as LupinKaiser Cyclone.)

*Not to be left out, the PatRangers’ receive a new TriggerMachine for combat- the TriggerMachine Biker! This blue motorcycle links with PatKaiser to create PatKaiser Biker and allows the Mecha to strike enemies from a distance with a gigantic YoYo.

Interestingly, the scans appear to show each team using THE OTHERS’ new machines at one point- suggesting there may be some collaboration in the future between the police and the thieves!

Last but not least, a new Gangler villain will be joining the show- Zamigo Delma is a mysterious figure with a dark connection to the LupinRangers’ past.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for the 42nd Super Sentai Series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all LupinRanger VS PatRanger reveals!

“Masquerase!”

Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger is about to enter it’s third week. So continuing our coverage of the merchandise released so far, we’re revisiting the show with 3 more entries in the Sentai Hero Collection line of vinyls. Lupin Red, Lupin Blue, & Lupin Yellow!

As with the Patrangers these Hero Collection vinyls offer an affordable option for you to own your favorite characters that may not necessarily receive figures in other toylines. In many cases these vinyls offer 1 of few, if not the only option for you to collect a particular hero. That was what drove me to pick them up myself. The Lupinranger designs are very slick, if a bit more limited in this line than your average release. Vinyls may not do much, but as static display pieces they get the job done. Be sure to go back and check out our Patrangers gallery as well!

We’ve attached over 35 images to this post, but you can also check out the full review after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’ll be back with the formula for victory with a gallery from Kamen Rider Build!

“Patrize!”

As Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger is about to enter it’s second week, much of the Q1 merchandise for this unique series has hit retail. Beginning our coverage of the merch, we’re kicking things off with 3 of the first releases  for the series in the Sentai Hero Collection line of vinyls. Patren 1, Patren 2, & Patren 3!

Following in the footsteps of a long tradition, these new Patranger entries in the Hero Collection series provide cost effective options for you to own your favorite characters. In many cases these vinyls offer 1 of few, if not the only option for you to collect a particular hero. That was what drove me to pick them up myself. The Patranger designs are very solid, and represented well in this line. Vinyls may not do much, but as static display pieces they do just the trick. Which is exactly why I’ll also be picking up Patren Ugo in a few weeks.

We’ve attached the full 40 image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Our next gallery for this special VS series will be focused on the Hero Collection vinyls of the 3 Lupinrangers!
