Earlier this year, we reported that Shout! Factory would be continuing their official Super Sentai releases with the fan-favorite Seijuu Sentai Gingaman.
Now we appear to have a release date for this Super Sentai release! An official Amazon Order Page has opened, with release currently scheduled for January 30 2018! As always though, release details are subject to change.
Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up on all Shout! Factory Super Sentai releases!
A few days ago, Super Minipla King Brachion(AKA: Titanus) made his grand debut at the All Japan Hobby Model Show, where Bandai announced that this bad boy will run you the astronomical price of 12,960 yen. Since his debut, pre orders for this massive beast of a model kit is set to begin, and with that pre-order some new details have been revealed that might explain why this costs as much as it does along with showcasing the impressive fully combined Ultra Zord mode.
A post from https://www.facebook.com/Tokullectibles]Tokullectibles mentions that it takes AA Batteries, from translating the pre-order page we can confirm that the kit will have electronics for some sort of motorized gimmick. None the less, pre-orders for Super Minipla King Brachion will begin October 5th, 2017 with a final shipping date of February 2018.
Here’s a fun surprise for fans of Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. Thanks to the Bandai Candy blog, we have our first look at an upcoming Morimer Robo Mini-Pla set coming for the Uchu Sentai Kyuranger line of Mini-Pla. For those unfamiliar with the Morimer Robo, they are the giant towers that transform in to giant robots that battle the voyagers in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger.
The set looks to be a Set A and Set B release (consisting of two total packages) for a whopping 350 yen a piece. Stay tuned for more details and eventual colored images.
Merry early Christmas everyone!
In Japan, it is customary for families to have a piece of cake during the Christmas season and it’s nearly that time of year again. P-Bandai just started their ordering service for Kamen Rider Build and Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger themed Holliday cakes.
While most of us overseas won’t be able to enjoy the cake itself, it is noteworthy to mention that this is the only way you’ll be able to get this year’s Christmas themed roleplay items: with a Christmas Kyutama and Christmas Full Bottle being included along with their respective cakes.
Each cake will also include an appropriately themed topper with featuring super deformed versions of Kamen Rider Build Tank Rabbit Form and ShishiRed Orion. Both cakes will set you back 4,104 yen each and will be released December 2017 in time for the Holidays.
In case you missed it, some big news regarding next year’s Super Sentai show’s next year came out. Since then, the rumor mill’s begun churning.
Some unconfirmed rumors have appeared on Tokuinsider via J-Hero. Do note that at the time of this write-up, nothing has been confirmed by Toei or any official channels. So until we hear otherwise from them, please take this with an injection of salt. None the less, the rumors are as follows:
-Both Patoranger and Lupinranger will count as the 42nd Sentai.
-The two shows are both separate works, and the same show, with intersecting storylines that take place in the same world. The shows will air alternately from week to week, and when each reaches episode 20, the show will become one solidified story.
-The toy line will essentially be separate until this joining happens, with the 4th quarter toys able to combine and interact.
-One of the members of Lupinranger is actually an undercover spy for Patoranger. It is likely this cast member will be prominently featured on both shows.
Again, none of this has been 100% confirmed by Toei or another official channel. These rumors could likely be fake, so do take them with a grain of salt until we hear from a more reliable and official source.
Thanks to Bandai Japan we now have official images of the upcoming Orion Battler and Orion Voyager toys. This may be the final mecha of the popular Uchu Sentai Kyuranger series and the Orion Battler allows for a number of your voyagers to connect to form various exciting modes.
The Orion Battler has a total of 4 different modes as well as lights and sounds from the Kyurangers. The release date is October 7th and will retail at the suggested price of 12,000 yen.

In case you missed it, Bandai’s Super Minipla line was gearing up to release the big carrier Zord himself: Super Minipla King Brachion/Titanus . We finally have our first look at the fully completed prototype with photos and release info coming straight from the All Japan Model Hobby Show.
While we don’t have any photos of the combined Ultra Zord mode, we do have an idea of when Bandai plans to release this bad boy: pre-orders for this model kit will begin in October and will ship sometime in January 2018. The cost of all this plastic? A whopping 12,960 yen before any shipping fees.
The latest round of magazine scans for Uchu Sentai KyuRanger has been posted online!

It’s that time of year again folks, the official trademark has been filed for the 2018-2019 Super Sentai. But this time we’re in for a bonus. Toei has filed for, and this has been officially confirmed by the usual Trademark Bot account) two separate sentai trademarks!
The pair are Keisatsu Sentai Patoranger AND Kaito Sentai Lupinranger! Based on those names alone, it certainly sounds like Toei is setting up two teams to square off against one another cops & robbers style. So what do you think of this unlikely development in the saga of Super Sentai? What will it mean for next year? And how many rangers will there be?! We’ll update you with more information on this/these upcoming series(?) as more information becomes available.
Collectors have speculated since GX-72 Daizyujin was released it’s been speculated whether it would sell well enough to warrant the release of more Zyuranger mecha. And Dragon Caesar has been at the top of many Japanese and Western fans’ wishlists. Well wait no longer, it appears that Soul of Chogokin Dragon Caesar is now in production!
Dengeki Hobby has released a scan of a the initial design work for Dragon Caesar, seen here via @TendouToys on twitter, seemingly confirming it’s forthcoming. While there are absolutely no release details available right now, this clearly points towards this mighty figure being released sometime next year. We’ll keep you up to date as more information becomes available for this release.
