Bandai JP’s official YouTube channel has put up a brief preview for the upcoming Premium item –DX DarkLiner Robo as used by the Shadow Line in Ressha Sentai ToQGer.
This video demonstrates the DarkLiner’s transformation and alternate head configurations (to mimic the generic Robo appearance or General Schwarz’s personal Robo based on your preference).
DX DarkLiner Robo will be released by Premium Bandai in December and costs 12.960 Yen.
Rumors of the Super Sentai series after Ressha Sentai ToQger are beginning to surface, and it seems like a trademark for next year’s show has been filed.
The text to look for is 手裏剣戦隊ニンニンジャー which translates into English as Shuriken Sentai Ninninja.
That’s right, if this rumor holds true we’ll be getting a third show that will be running with a Ninja motif. Full disclosure: as this could be a faked image, please take this rumor with a grain of salt for now until more solid confirmation is given.
UPDATE:
Thanks to the Tokusatsunetwork the proper title has been revealed as Shuriken Sentai Nin’ninger
Go!
TokuNation has at long last made it’s way back to the first Sentai. Well, the show that retroactively is known as the first. Himitsu Sentai Goranger! Though it was nearly 20 years after it’s debut that this series gained it’s Super Sentai status it’s unquestionable that the series began a long tradition of colorful spandex heroes helping some big eyed bug men save Japan. So it’s about time that Bandai got around to making S.H. Figuarts Akaranger!
What better way to celebrate this legend than with a gorgeous sculpt, paint job and wealth of accessories? S.H. Figuarts Akaranger is no slouch! He includes several sets of new hands, two versions of his iconic Red Bute rope weapon, the Silver Shot pistol, the Birdie flying rockets, and even a version of the Goranger Storm Ball! Though this figure is a bit on the large side it’s still a fantastic addition to any sentai collector’s display.
Check out our full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Akaranger after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.
Note that although the name on the box is spelled Akarenger, (official romanization) generally his name in English is accepted to be Akaranger, and Toei’s subsequent use of the actual word “Ranger” in many series and hero names would imply that should be the correct term in this instance. So for consistency we went with that.

The (supposed) final DX Mecha for Ressha Sentai ToQGer is due for release next month, and we finally have some official images of this shining fighter!
DX Hyper Ressha TeiOh transforms from Ressha to Terminal form and can carry most other DX Resshas. The price is a steep 13,824 Yen before shipping and handling.
A new round of magazine scans are now online! At last we get to see the headquarters of the Rainbow Line!
The massive Hyper Ressha serves as a rest station (called the Hyper Terminal) for the other Resshas and is also the home of the Rainbow Line President, who wears a costume similar to Conductor & Ticket- except with a gigantic bunny head. The President’s story is not yet revealed in full.
Hyper Ressha transforms into a super-powerful Mecha form, Hyper Ressha TeiOh! This massive Ressha towers over the other combos & has a powerful arsenal strong enough to take on any Shadow creature.
What other new adventures could be coming down the line for ToQGer? Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on the Rainbow Line!
