It’s time for another episode of Talkin Toku!

Join Kickback, Den-O, Sentai Tamashii, and special guest host Danny as they discuss their thoughts and feelings about the upcoming finale of one of the most well-received toku series in recent memory – Kamen Rider Gaim!

In the toy talk segment they discuss the hunt for Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures at their local Walgreens, as well as their reactions to the Kamen Rider Gaim Overlord weapons in the upcoming release of the Arms Change Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi Arms figure.

Conversation is lost when … well, the graphic in the story will make a lot more sense. Around 20 minutes in the fact we’re unscripted with no clear direction rears its ugly head as conversation changes to Chuck E Cheese?

But take a listen – find out who is right, who is wrong, and who was way off base when the Kamen Rider Gaim live stream airs later this afternoon and releases via sub groups next week!

There’s also a bit of talk about Power Rangers Dino Charge, a small wishlist for the 2015 Super Sentai series, and more stuff!

Enjoy the episode and we’ll see you on the flip side of the series finale of Kamen Rider Gaim in a little over a week!

Bandai has opened an official page for Ressha Sentai ToQGer’s latest special item: the DaiKaiten Cannon! This interesting new weapon channels the power of six Resshas into one mighty attack!

The DX DaiKaiten Cannon also comes with the super-powerful Hyper Ressha which allows ToQ 1 (and potentially the other ToQGers) to transform into the golden-armor Hyper ToQ form! Hyper Ressha is also shown to be cross-compatible with other DX Resshas and the already-released ToQ Changer.

DaiKaiten Cannon & Hyper Ressha will be released on September 13 and cost a mere 6800 Yen.

Talkin Toku is back!

After nearly 2 months since the last episode with your regular hosts, the boys of Talkin Toku return! Join Kickback, Den-O, and Sentai Tamashii in the all new, all different, all unedited and uncensored Talkin Toku!

Since the last full episode, Kickback and Den-O have gone to San Diego Comic Con, and Kickback then went to Power Morphicon. Listen to his reactions to the overall convention as we talk the good, the bad, and the ugly! Special shout-outs to some good friends made over the weekend – Dan’s Toku Rants, the Toku Ladies Podcast, Zeron Xepher, and Shukuen Shinobi, as well as the guys from Ranger Command Power Hour.

We also discuss some of the latest collectibles that have come out that we’ve purchased – S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryugen and S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gridon – as well as discuss a lot of the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge toys and information from Power Morphicon to the present – including the rumor that Saban Brands isn’t interested in adapting Ressha Sentai ToQGer!

There’s also some brief discussion on Kamen Rider Drive – our hopes and our fears – as well as whether or not we’re going to go “all in” on the merchandise like we did with Kamen Rider Gaim (and have loved every wallet-draining moment).

Finally – it’s Gaim Time. The boys discuss everything so far in Kamen Rider Gaim up through episode 43 including some of the parallels that the show has with some other Hesei era Kamen Rider shows (spoilers right there). Will Micchy redeem himself? And do we want Micchy to redeem himself? And just who – and what – is Kamen Rider Jam? And our thoughts on whether or not the show ends on Episode 46 (the final episode written by Gen Urobuchi) or if it ends on Episode 47 (the rumored Kamen Rider Drive hand-off episode featuring Kamen Rider Jam).

Also – we want to give you guys free stuff. So we’re going to come up with ways to get free stuff, including the convention exclusive Super Megaforce Red Ranger key as well as a Mighty Morphin Green Ranger translucent key, and more importantly, an entire set of Season 2 S.H. Figuarts Akibarangers. Stay tuned for that and throw some suggestions out in our discussion thread! Check out the episode directly linked to this post below! (NOTE: You have to push play!)

See you in a couple of weeks!

San Diego Comic-Con 2014 has come and gone, the TokuNation.com crew had a great time at the show, and of course we had to share a souvenir or two with you. So up today is our final entry (for now) in the long list of Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Ranger’s galleries we’ve worked on for the last year. Today we look at the 2014 Exclusive SDCC Armored Black Ranger!

A unique product of the “Zyu2” footage created for MMPR season 1, Armored Black Ranger is a very unique toy as well. This figure shares the honor of being one of only two truly US exclusive MMPR related figuarts released here, along with the female bodied Yellow Ranger. Created in response to the demands of the US market Armored Black Ranger is a fantastic release that continues the tradition of quality and excellence that the Zyuranger/MMPR line of S.H. Figuarts releases has had from the beginning. Likely the last releases in this particular franchise of figures, Armored Black Ranger ends it in style. This awesome yet briefly seen form from the finale of MMPR season 1 “An Oyster Stew” is incredibly satisfying to finally own. If you have the chance to pick this figure up, we highly recommend it.

To check out the full 60 image gallery of this fantastic release, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And while you’re at it, take a stroll down memory lane with us too! Here are some handy links in case you’d like to take a look back at any of our previous Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers related galleries!

It’s Morphin Time!

Checking one more off the list for MMPR/Zyuranger releases today we’ve got the S.H. Figuarts MMPR Yellow Ranger (female body) gallery! This figure was recently released exclusively by Bluefin to western markets. Likewise in Japan S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger was recently released as an exclusive. Catering to two different markets these differing releases of this figure have some unique traits. Here in the US the footage of Tiger Ranger, or rather the original Yellow Ranger, lined up with a female character. And as such a new female version of the figure was created for release in this market!

Created for and by the demand of the US market, S.H. Figuarts Yellow Ranger is the first truly unique release we’ve gotten since the Zyuranger/MMPR series of releases got under way! As the final piece to complete your team of original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers you will not be disappointed. Whether you think of Yellow Ranger as Trini or Aisha it will finish off a team of rangers a couple years in the making, and the accessories included with her will FINALLY complete the incredible Power Cannon! Maybe some of you will even feel the need to double dip ad get the male and female figure like I did? You totally should.

To check out our full gallery of Yellow ranger click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And if you’d like to see how Yellow stacks up to the original release of this figure, check out our S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger Gallery as well! And rounding out the Zyu/MMPR love we have one final gallery for you coming up this week. The long awaited exclusive SDCC Armored Black Ranger!!

After a brief period where many fans seemed unsure of the fate of the Super Sentai line of S.H. Figuarts, it seems Bandai have decided to catch the sun with the announcement of S.H. Figuarts Vul Eagle! The red hero from the fifth Super Sentai series Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan, Vul Eagle will come packaged with a selection of alternate hands, Vulcan Stick (both extended and holstered) and the sword used by the second Vul Eagle – Takayuki Hiba.

Vul Eagle is a mass release Figuart due in December 2014, priced 4860 yen (tax included). Preorders will go up September 1st, so in the meantime check out the full-sized images of this Showa era Sentai hero after the jump!

Not to be outdone, the ToQGers also have a handful of interesting new magazine scans online now!

This September we will see the introduction of the Hyper Ressha! This unique new addition to the ToQGer arsenal grants new enhanced abilities and special golden armor, transforming the regular Toq1 into  Hyper ToQ1!

The Hyper armor comes with a new weapon, the DaiKaiten Cannon– a roundtable based blaster that channels energy from six Resshas into a single massive attack!

Last but certainly not least, the magazines reveal another villain joining the cast: Marchioness Morc will fight alongside the Shadow Line. What are her motivations for coming to Earth? How will the other Shadows react to this newcomer? Only time will tell!
