Lion Henge!

We’re back with yet another fired up gallery & review from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! This time we take a look at the massive Sky Otomonin himself, DX Lion Ha Oh!

Unusually for a toy of it’s nature, Lion Ha Oh is not the final toy to be released in this line as we still have the 6-piece Gekiatsu Dai Oh coming up. However Lion Ha Oh still falls into the category of the big but largely hollow Q3/Q4 releases with multiple forms:

  • Lion Ha Ojo– the rolling castle/tank
  • Lion Ha Oh– the unique robot mode form
  • Ha Oh Shurkenjin– A massive combination that incorporates all the primary components of DX Shurikenjin & Bison King

Included for use with any of these 3 forms is also a fun little Chouzetsu Akaninger figure that’s roughly the size of a Bandai America Ranger Key. We’ve got some comparisons with other similarly sized figures as well. Lion Ha Oh itself is larger though, so large that size comparisons really don’t do it justice. Scroll through our gallery to check out how it dwarfs and absorbs DX Shurikenjin.

Ultimately DX Lion Ha Oh will be the make or break figure in the line for many collectors simply due to it’s shear size & cost, but we welcome you to check out our complete 60+ image gallery to make that decision for yourself! Wasshoi!

For those that might not be able to afford DX roleplay weapons or lack the space, Bandai’s revealed the perfect alternative with the recent surprise reveal of of the High Proportion Series which will be making miniature scale replicas of weapons and changers from Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.

The Gashapon series will be released sometime in December, wave 1 for the Kamen Rider side will have Blade’s Blay Rouzer, both Gaim’s and Zangetsu’s version of the Musou Saber, and Kamen Rider Ghost’s Gangan Saber(solicited, though no photo) The weapons will measure around 150mm.

For Sentai, we have the Dino Buckler/Power Morpher, and Zyusouken/Dragon Dagger of Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin, with the Dragon Dagger having it’s own display stand. The Dragon Dagger itself measures at 150 mm though no current word on price.

Wasshoi!

At long last TokuNation is fired up to present this latest gallery! A recent Bandai Premium release from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, today we take an extensive look at the Super Sentai Artisan Chogokin Shinobimaru!

Chogokin Shinobimaru is Bandai Premium’s first entirely new figure for Ninninger, soon to be followed up by Rodeomaru & Chouzetsu Akaninger. More than a simple DX with metal parts like last years’ Chogokin ToQ Oh, Shinobimaru is an entirely new super articulated diecast infused action figure meant to replace the DX that came with Shurikenjin. While it may be lacking a bit in the accessories department (a small shoulder mounted Akaninger) it more than makes up for this with excellent articulation, strong QC, and just the perfect amount of metal to give this little guy some heft.

Make no mistake when we say extensive either, we’ve put together 70 images of Super Sentai Artisan Chogokin Shinobimaru for your viewing pleasure! We’ve even included a comparison between Shinobimaru and the classic release Soul of Chogokin Battle Fever Robo, the predecessor to all modern Sentai Chogokins. Attached to this post are just a small selection of the images, to view them all click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

A new round of magazine scans has surfaced online, giving us some insight into the further adventures of the 39th Super Sentai Series!

*First up, we finally get to see StarNinger Chozetzu! Kinji will get a chance to use the super-armor & avenge his family!

*Two new Ninjas will be appearing in the future: Kikyo, a potential love interest for Takaharu, and her Master Iseki Rock– played by Ryoma Baba aka Blue Buster!

*The scans also depict Kyuemon breaking away from the Kibaoni and developing a secondary army!

A major element of Kyuemon’s backstory is revealed (or at least, hinted at) through these scans. We will keep spoilers off the front page out of respect for fans who wish to experience the story firsthand, but feel free to join in our Discussion Thread for these new scans if you wish to learn the whole story!

Washoi! The dinosaur Otomonin joins the fray in this years theatrical film Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll. And not to be left out on the toy side of the things, a special “EX” release has just hit retail for this new ally to the Ninningers with DX Dinomaru!

EX DX Dinomaru is a pretty wild toy. From the ground up this figure is a remold & repaint of the previously released DX Paonmaru, bet you never thought Bandai could get an elephant and a T-Rex out of the same like that? Sharing much of the same transformation as his mold mate, Dinomaru still manages to be new and creative, bringing his own charm to combining with Shurkenjin to form Shurikenjin Dino!

Before you check out our complete gallery be sure to check out the video below to see a full review of EX DX Dinomaru from friend & site contributor baltmatrix!

Pairing perfectly with the DX Yokai Hammer, Premium Bandai just opened up pre orders for the DX Gashadokuro Yo Shuriken.

This Shuriken is of course the one that Kyuemon uses in the show to summon giant Yokai as such, the Shuriken will share functionality with the DX Yokai Hammer itself. Interestingly, the photos indicate that it can be used with the DX Ichibantou as well.

The DX Gashadokuro Yo Shuriken will be released in December 2015 with a relatively affordable  price tag of just 2,700 yen before shipping and other fees from your preferred middleman.

A few months ago when Artisan Rodeomaru went up for order via Premium Bandai, we were also given a tease of an Artisan release for Chouzetsu Akaninger. Not only do we now know this figure is a pack-in bonus with Artisan Rodeomaru, but we also have official images!

Artisan Chouzetsu Akaninger stands 65mm tall (about 2.5 inches) compared to Rodeo & Shinobimarus’ roughly 125 mm. So he’s quite tiny. But this fully articulated mini-figure serves as a high end replacement for your DX Akaninger included with Lion Ha Oh. The figure includes just 3 accessories as well. The Ninja Ichibantou, and what appear to be a couple of panels that currently serve an unknown purpose. Perhaps they facilitate his combination with Lion Ha Oh? We’ll keep you updated as more information on this diminutive new figure comes out!

The set of Rodeomaru & Chouzetsu Akaninger retails for 5994 yen and is currently set for a December release!

Follow the sun! Catch the sun!

TokuNation returns at long last with a new S.H. Figuarts Super Sentai gallery! Though releases are few and far between in recent years those that have come out have been fantastic figures to review. Today is no different as we’re taking a look at the recent Tamashii Web Exclusive 2-pack of S.H. Figuarts Vul Shark & Vul Panther from Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan!

When we reviewed Vul Eagle way back in December I had nothing but praise to heap upon that figure, and now I get to do the same thing, twice! S.H. Figuarts Vul Shark & Vul Panther retain all of the excellent qualities that made Vul Eagle perfect. Top notch sculpt and paint work on top of an almost perfection accessory selection make it pretty hard to not like these figures. And in a rare occurence this release officially completes the Sun Vulcan team! Granted they only had 3 (technically 4) members but it’s a rarity these days. If you haven’t picked up Vul Shark & Vul Panther yet I highly suggest it, this 2-pack will bring just a little bit more of that old school Showa class to your collection.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but feel free to peruse 70 images of S.H. Figuarts Vul Shark & Vul Panther as well as an in depth review. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. The quick version though? Buy theses figures. And here’s to hoping that one day the Sun Vulcan villains of Black Magma may get the same excellent treatment that these heroes of the sun did. Eagle, Shark, Panther!
