UFO washoi!

TokuNation returns to the team of ninjas that refuses to hide with Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! And today we’re taking a look at the second release in the Otomonin series of additional mecha, DX UFOmaru!

Apparently the original Otomonin, UFOmaru is the being which all of the Ninninger’s mecha technology is based on. Rather interestingly UFOmaru is also the first and so far only literal UFO based mecha in Super Sentai. We’ve had spaceships in the past but this one takes the cake. An interesting design, UFOmaru can alternate between the traditional “saucer” mode and his own unique robot form that stands tall with Paonmaru & Shinobimaru. When used in place of Shinobimaru, Shurikenjin UFO is formed! Armed with the 3-barrelled UFOmaru Launcher, Shurikenjin UFO succeeds in being another new and unique combination that’s a welcome breath of fresh air.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to see a comprehensive gallery of over 50 images as well as a full review for DX UFOmaru. We’ll see you again in a few weeks for our next ninja themed gallery installment with DX Bison Buggy & Rodeomaru!

Paon! Paon! Paon! Wasshoi!

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is moving right along in both show & toyline. The first release in the DX Otomonin series for Ninninger recently hit Japanese retail and we’ve finally gotten our copy in hand for review. Today we’re taking a look at DX Paonmaru!

Paonmaru made it’s first appearance a matter of weeks ago on Ninninger and as the name implies Paonmaru is an elephant. It came to the aid of the Ninningers as the first of the restored Sealing Shurikens. Not only does it have a role as a beast, but it can also be reconfigured into a small robot formation that’s very similar to Shinobimaru at a basic level. Though Paonmaru has a bit more bulk to it. The real star of the show however is this machine’s combination with Shurikenjin, Shurikenjin Paon! Wielding the Paon Axes Shurikenjin Paon benefits from the inherently awesome articulation of the primary figure.

Check out over 50 images as well as a full review of this wonderful new addition to the toyline of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger after the jump! We’ll be back later this week with our look at DX UFOmaru!

After some good partial images early this week, we now have several full-page images featuring Shuriken Sentai Ninninger’s sixth member- StarNinger!

These scans offer us excellent details on StarNinger’s arsenal- in particular the Star SwordGun weapon that StarNinger uses to fight against the Yokai.

In addition the scans provide a close look at StarNinger’s Otomo-nin combo, RodeoMaru and the Bison Buggy! These two can combine to form a new Mecha, Bison King!

New listings for Shuriken Sentai Ninningers’ April episodes have come online. The most interesting one listed is the 7th episode, currently scheduled to air April 12, 2015:

Emissaries From the Past
Summary: Tsumuji (Takaharu and Fuka’s father) brings in Ninja Red and Hurricane Red to teach the Ninningers.

Three generations of Ninja Sentai united! And as a side note, if the 39th Super Sentai premiere had not been delayed by tragic circumstances, this episode would instead be airing on April 5th 2015– exactly forty years to the day when the Super Sentai franchise began with Himitsu Sentai GoRanger.

At the time no other details about this apparent crossover are known. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ninja news!

It’s time for another episode of our official podcast – Talkin Toku! Join your hosts Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom as they embark on the first episode in over a month. Since their last episode, babies have been born, conventions have come and gone, and your favorite shows like Power Rangers Dino Charge, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, and Kamen Rider Drive have all either premiered, continued, or had some interesting developments happen. And that’s where the hosts come in!

What are their initial thoughts on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger? Was it worth sitting through Ressha Sentai ToQGer to get to? And has Power Rangers Dino Charge lived up to the hype since the premiere? And just what the heck is going on with Kamen Rider Drive? They discuss it all – and in one of our favorite twists, the hosts share which show they have the least amount of problems with and knowing our hosts and the history they have with theses franchises, it’ll surprise you for sure.

There’s also toy talk – their thoughts on the DX Shurikenjin mecha from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger as well as Kickback’s thoughts on the roleplay items that he’s purchased. The hosts also discuss their thoughts on the Toys’R’Us listings for the Legacy Blade Blaster and Legacy VIP Dino Chargers Set, as well as what other Legacy items they’d like to see down the road (besides the obvious ones).

And finally – they go off topic and talk Hot Toys, various online stores, and the hobby they left that is slowly sucking them back in – Transformers. Come take a listen and leave your thoughts in the discussion thread by clicking here!
