A plethora of new images from the upcoming 42nd Super Sentai Series Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger vs Keisatsu Sentai PatoRanger have just been released!

While the scans do not provide much NEW information about these upcoming series, they do offer some excellent clarification on several items teased in the early catalog photos:

*We see the VS Changer, henshin device and sidearm for both teams.
*The LupinRangers’ powers are fueled by aircraft-based Dial Fighters while the PatoRangers use automotive-based Trigger Machines. Both can grow in size to become the teams’ Mecha.
*Members of LupinRanger are armed with the Lupin Sword (which also functions as a grappling hook). Meanwhile, Team PatoRangers’ signature weapon is the Pat Megabo– a baton that can turn into a megaphone.

Finally, a brief story teaser for this new series is included! A legendary thief known as Arsène Lupin gathered a series of powerful artifacts known as the Lupin Collection until all were stolen by a mysterious enemy force. The LupinRangers- who have taken their name as tribute to the iconic thief- declare it their duty to recover the Collection, but the PatoRangers have also been assigned to recover the treasures AND arrest the LupinRangers. Will the teams overcome their differences? Only time will tell!

Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatoRanger is currently scheduled to begin in February 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Super Sentai Series!

After some early teasers, the full catalog of new merchandise for the upcoming 42nd Super Sentai Series Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger vs Keisatsu Sentai PatoRanger has now been released!

In addition to clearer shots of the new Ranger suits and Mecha, several new pieces are seen in full detail-

*Both teams use the same henshin device; a sidearm known as the VS Changer! This device loads this seasons’ apparent collector gimmick-special craft called VS Vehicles -for combat purposes.

*Team LupinRanger uses aircraft called Dial Fighters as the source of their powers, while Team PatoRanger is powered by automobile-based TriggerMachines.

*The GoodStriker is the centerpiece of both team Mecha combos, becoming LupinKaiser when it combines with DialFighters or PatoKaiser when combined with TriggerMachines.

*The LupinRangers’ signature weapon- the Itadaki KaiTou– a sword that can also function as a reaching-claw.

*The PatoRangers have their own signature weapon- the Kakusei Keibou– a police baton that can transform into a megaphone.

Yet another new image for the next Super Sentai Series has been posted online!

This is our first look at the TriggerMachine configuration of the GoodStriker weapon- a form used by the Keisatsu Sentai PatoRanger to power attacks & summon Mecha. While the previously-revealed DialFighter configuration is aircraft-based, the TriggerMachine is automotive-based.

Continuing the slow-but-steady release of information for the 42nd Super Sentai Series, we now have another new picture online!

This time we get a close look at the GoodStriker, a weapon used by both Ranger teams. The photo in question shows the DialFigher configuration; another mode known as TriggerMachine remains unseen at time of writing.

The GoodStriker can also combine with the as-yet-unrevealed henshin device to form a special weapon for both teams.
