Just over 1 month ago TokuNation began the countdown to today, January 5th 2014, which marks our official 3 year anniversary!

Over the course of December & the first week of January we posted over 20 image galleries of various toys running the entire spectrum of tokusatsu. The goal? To give our users the chance to discuss these incredible toys. The result of these discussions? Every time a post was made in these threads, the users making them automatically had their names put into a random drawing for 1 of 4 MASSIVE Prize Packs for our annual Toku Toy Box Giveaway!

With 21 galleries, 66,000 page views, over 1700 posts, and a slew of new users joining the fray, we’re at long last ready to reveal the 4 winners of our prize packs! Check out the video below to see who the lucky winners are!

CONGRATULATIONS to our 4 winners and thanks once again for another incredibly successful year here at TokuNation.com! We can’t wait to do this again!

We look to the past
As we head towards the future
To reclaim the Digital world

With faith in ourselves
And trust in each other
We live by the lessons we learned

As we work towards one solution
Through a spirit evolution

It’s the end of 2014 and the start of 2015 and Talkin Toku is ringing in the New Year the way they do best – by being late to it! Join Kickback aka Chris, Den-O aka Jordan and Sentai Tamashii aka Tom as they spend 2 horribly long hours reflecting on 2014 and looking ahead to 2015!

Before the reflection begins – it’s time to talk current Toku! Join in the discussion of their continued thoughts as more and more of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is revealed! And the question everyone has on their minds … has Tom even seen the trailers for the damn show?! We also take a look at the extended Power Rangers Dino Charge (and discover if Tom has watched that trailer too).

Then we reflect on 2014. What was the Best Toku Toy of 2014? And the Worst Toku Toy of 2014? Reflecting on the year of news itself, What was the biggest Toku news of 2014? And the question that no one is going to accurately guess the answer to … our opinion on Which of the 3 Toku shows (Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Kamen Rider Gaim, and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) had the best ending? We also take a moment to read YOUR answers to those questions – thanks to everyone who submitted their thoughts/opinions/answers!

And by popular demand … the return of Toku Company’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2015 … what we think Bandai of America, Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Tamashii Nations, Bandai Japan, Saban Brands Entertainment, and Shout! Factory should have for New Year’s Resolutions!

Join us in this end of the year celebration as we celebrate a staggering average of 1.25 episodes a month and promise to do better in 2015!

Youtube user 開封戦隊ショウカイジャーJP has put up an in-depth look at the Bandai’s latest Super Sentai Premium item- the DX Cryner Robo (that’s the official spelling, though many fans refer to it as the Darkliner Robo).

This review lets us see the transformation and alternate forms for this Shadow Line Mecha!

DX Cryner/Darkliner Robo will cost roughly 14000 Yen before shipping and middleman fees and is available now from Premium sellers.

Follow the sun!

TokuNation has indeed caught the sun with this gallery from Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan! In this installment we’re taking a look at the team leader of Sun Vulcan, S.H. Figuarts Vul Eagle!

Released just at the end of 2014, Vul Eagle begins a new subline of Sentai Figuarts and apparently a new level of quality as well. In my personal opinion Vul Eagle is one of the best sentai figuarts ever produced. This figure truly captures the look of the actual suit, is exquisitely detailed, and includes just about every accessory possible. Multiple sets of hands, 2 versions of the Vulcan Stick, and a very special Katana that allows you to display this figure as either version of the character! Vul Eagle I Ryusuke Oowashi, or Vul Eagle II Takayuki Hiba, his katana wielding successor!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but check out over 50 images of this incredible release after the jump. And be sure to leave a comment in the attached discussion thread for an entry in our Toku Toy Box giveaway! This gallery will qualify you for a chance to win our All Aboard Sentai Prize Pack. Full prize pack breakdowns and details for Toku Toy Box are posted here.

The folks at Toei and TV-Asashi are giving you a special Christmas gift in the revelation of the cast of the upcoming Shuriken Sentai Ninninger as well as the production staff behind the series. With thanks to HeroShock.com for the images and to the TokusatsuNetwork.com for the translations, we’re happy to share the images and information with you today!

The story of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is as follows – The Yokai were sealed away roughly three generations ago by Igasaki Yoshitaki, the Last Ninja. But around the time that Igasaki Yoshitaki passes away, the Yokai revive and it is up to his descendants, five cousins, to come together as a team and defeat the Yokai. Our heroes are not yet fully developed as ninjas and thus train together in the dojo run by Igasaki Tsumuji, the father of AkaNinger and ShrioNinger. The cast, as well as their previous works, is as follows.

  • AkaNinger/Igasaki Takaharu – played by Shunsuke Nishikawa, notable for having practiced judo over the last five years
  • AoNinger/Kato Cloud Yakumo – played by Gaku Matsumoto, his first main-cast role
  • KiNinger/Matsuo Nagi – played by Kaito Nakamura
  • ShiroNinger/Igasaki Fuka – played by Yuka Yano.  Her first major acting role, plays the sister of AkaNinger
  • MomoNinger/Momochi Kasumi – played by Kasumi Yamaya.  Previously seen in Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze Movie Ultimatum as well as Space Sheriff Shaider: Next Generation
  • Igasaki Tsumuji – played by Tashihiro Yashiba.  Is the father of AkaNinger and ShiroNinger, and the son of the Last Ninja
  • The Last Ninja/Igasaki Yoshitaka – played by Takashi Sasano, he is the grandfather of AkaNinger and ShiroNinger, the father to Igasaki Tsumuji, and is the Last Ninja

We also know the production staff behind Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!  Some of it will make you happy, some if it may make you cringe.  Either way, check it out below!

  • Head Writer – Kento Shimoyama (episodes of Tensou Sentai Goseiger, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Tokumei Sentai GoBuster, Kikaider: REBOOT, and V-Cinema Tokumei Sentai GoBusters Returns vs Dobutsu Sentai GoBusters)
