We’ve come to the end folks! With only one day left before we announce the winner of Toku Toy Box we’re officially posting our last gallery for the competition today! Tomorrow we’ll be featuring a roundup of all eligible entries for this years giveaway. But for now we’re going to take a look at our final entry, S.H. Figuarts Red Buster Gallery 2.0!

While Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters was not fondly looked upon by many fans it’s still a personal favorite of mine. Much like the series many people were turned off by the Red Buster figuart. Admittedly he’s not perfect, thanks to the limited upper arm movement and especially difficult to swap hands. But Red Buster more than captures the look of it’s on screen counterpart and includes a wealth of accessories like the Sougan Blade, Ichigan Buster, & the combined Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode! While imperfect Red Buster is still an admirable release that goes for some pretty rock bottom prices. Anyone looking to fill out their Super Sentai displays should definitely pick this one up!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but we’ve assembled a full review and over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Red Buster after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this page to see them all! And remember this is your FINAL chance to qualify for the Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

The first brief teaser for the 40th Super Sentai Series, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger aired during this weekends’ SuperHeroTime action block!

The official TV-Asahi page for the 40th Super Sentai Series, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger has been opened! This gives us a plethora of new information about this upcoming series!

First off, a basic story outline has been posted:
Zyuland, a world parallel to ours, is attacked by aliens, the Deathgalian. Four of its inhabitants (called Zyuman), Sera, Leo, Tusk and Amu call for help a young man from our world, Yamato. After taking human form, they all five form the Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger!

Next, we have the Zyuohger main cast!
*Nakao Masaki plays Yamato Kazakiri/Zyuoh Eagle
*Miki Yanagi portrays Sera/Zyuoh Shark
*Nanba Shohei has the role of Leo/Zyuoh Lion
*Tsurugi Watanabe will play Tusk/Zyuoh Elephant
*Haruka Tateishi is Amu/Zyuoh Tiger
The four Zyuland Rangers are show to have animal-based alternate forms, similar to the Fist Sages from Gekiranger.

Rounding out the primary cast is Susumu Terajima, a veteran actor who will play Yamato’s uncle- an animal sculptor.

Last but CERTAINLY not least, we have learned the production crew for this new series!
*Zyuogher’s head writer is Junko Komura, previously the secondary writer for Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger.
*The series’ main director is Takayuki Shibazaki, whose resume includes Kamen Rider OOO, Kamen Rider Drive, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters and several others.
*Primary action director for Zyuohger is Hirofumi Fukuzawa, a long-time stunt actor who portrayed the Red Ranger in nearly every Super Sentai from Gaoranger to Gokaiger.
*Finally, the main producer is one Takaki Utsunomiya, veteran of Kamen Rider Wizard and Ressha Sentai ToQGer.

Definitely looks like a promising team for the 40th anniversary! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuohger details!

You may recall that on this day last year we posted our very first 2.0 Gallery kicking off our journey of self-improvement of some of our previous works. That gallery was none other than S.H. Figuarts Gokai Christmas! This year we wanted to remind you of this awesome figure on Christmas and also let you know that this gallery is good for an entry in this years Toku Toy Box! As with any other Toku Toy Box eligible gallery you just need to make a relevant (non-spam) post in this thread to give yourself another entry in out giveaway!

For a little refresher on this figure, Gokai Christmas was a special form achieved by Gokai Silver in Episode 44 of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. A Christmas themed episode itself, Silver/Gai sought to be more festive in the battle against Zangyack and so using his special abilities merged the Gokai Red & Green Ranger Keys! The result is this fantastic repaint that was released in 2013 as a Toei Hero.Net exclusive.

Though we’re sharing this gallery once again to celebrate the Christmas holiday, we know that many of our friends, family members, & staff also celebrate entirely different holidays all around the world. We’d like to take this moment to not only wish the community a Merry Christmas but also Happy Holidays! No matter what you may celebrate TokuNation is happy to have you here and we’re thrilled to continue yet another successful year with you.

The first magazine scans for the 40th Super Sentai Series have been posted online! In addition to some fantastic new shots of this upcoming team, we appear to have an accepted English spelling for the series- Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!

While story details are unfortunately lacking at this time, we have learned that each Zyuohger has a personal title (likely part of the teams’ roll call) relating to their animal spirit. The Zyuohgers are referred to as Ohja– meaning Ruler or Monarch.

*Zyuoh Eagle is Ruler of the Skies
*Zyuoh Shark Monarch of the Rough Seas
*Zyuoh Lion is Ruler of the Savannah
*Zyuoh Elephant is Monarch of Forests
*Zyuoh Tiger is Ruler of the Snow Fields

These scans also give us some excellent up-close looks at the teams’ arsenal, including the Zyuoh Buster, the Eagrizer, and the Monarch of Robots, Zyuoh King!

Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger is officially scheduled to begin on February 14, 2016! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all details for this new Super Sentai Series!
