The Premium Bandai website has finally been updated with new pictures of the Ticket puppet that was revealed just last week.
The actual puppet itself unfortunately isn’t quite the high end replica that people were speculating. None the less, Ticket is still coming out in limited quantities for the relatively low price 2,970 yen.
The Ticket Puppet will be shipping out in August 2014.
Special thanks to board member Goblez for giving us the heads up!
Welcome to the first of many Power Rangers Mondays here at TokuNation.com! Every single Monday we will have an article focused on all things Power Rangers.

We’re kicking off our first Power Rangers Monday in style with an article focused on the upcoming series Power Rangers Dino Charge, which is to be an adaption of the popular Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger series. And what better way to start off that whole area of discussion than with an article all about adaption – namely, our list of what we consider the Top 5 Things We Want to See Adapted from Kyoryuger.
So charge those batteries and brave in to our article by clicking “Read More”! And once you’re done, join the discussion and tell us what YOUR top 5 things are that you believe should be adapted. Enjoy!
Time for another official image dump! Bandai of Japan has just updated their official Ressha Sentai ToQger pages with new official images of:
Goseiger & Gokaiger Resshas follow in the footsteps of the Kyoryuger & Go-Busters Resshas, all of which can form new heads and chest pieces for the DX ToQ Oh, each one resembling the main mecha of their respective series. The Yuudou Breaker is the personal weapon of the soon to be seen ToQ 6 and will include his Drill Ressha!
Check these new images out after the jump!

It’s here! It’s Part 02 of the Talkin Ranger Toku Command at the Nation Summer Crossover Special! Featuring a line-up of hosts (Chris, Jordan, Tom, Eric, Zach, AP) from two podcasts (Talkin Toku and Ranger Command), the group gets together to discuss the pro’s and the con’s to Japanese Tokusatsu, specifically Super Sentai in comparison to Power Rangers (it was deemed prior to recording that comparing Kamen Rider or Garo to Power Rangers would be a bit unfair).
But before you do ANYTHING ELSE – CLICK HERE to listen to Part 01 of the crossover, only at RangerCommand.com!
The dramatic, wonderfully acted and Oscar-deserving performances, comes to its epic conclusion! Be sure to listen all the way to the end to get to that epic conclusion! And included for your lol’ing pleasure are BLOOPERS! Granted, there were so many we went with the ones centered mostly on the scripted dramatic story – we have a ton to use in a future “bloopers” episode, which we will announce at a much later date.
Some of the topics we touch on – Premium Bandai is planning to release older Super Sentai merchandise in new packages (as well as some new merchandise). Like everyone else in the world – we speculate. We also discuss some of the new S.H. Figuarts that were revealed – Akarenger, Biorider, Kachidoki Arms. We also talk about Kamen Rider Malus, Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms, and even make predictions about Kamen Rider Drive, the next installment of Kamen Rider.
Please leave us comments and let us know what you think! Did you like this whole crossover? Did you like the dramatic acting (it was REALLY good, we know). Do you want to see more of it later in the future? Sound off! Post here in this thread, or hit us up on our social media.

As speculated earlier in the series it seems ToQger will feature a new power up, Hyper Mode!
Accessible through the Hyper Ressha, Hyper Mode gives the ToQger’s bright golden train armor for the chest and shoulders. Something very reminiscent of the Super Goseigers. Though for now this power up is confirmed only to be used by ToQ 1 it’s entirely possible that the other members may have access to it as well!
These magazine scan also show us our first image of Hyper Mode in toy form with the ToQ 1 Hyper Mode vinyl. We get a great look a the DX Daikaiten Cannon which includes the Hyper Ressha. And we get looks at the very first Shadow Line vinyls! General Schwarz and the Kuros!
One of the most anticipated S.H. Figuarts of the year has just been released! S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger is of course from the classic series Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Or if you’re picking up the US release then he’s the original Blue Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! Either way this is one fantastic figure to add to your collection!
On his own Tricera Ranger is an absolutely gorgeous figure. In this photographers opinion he’s the best of the Zyurangers released thus far. This figure nails the look of his onscreen counterpart near perfectly. As you can see from the images in this and our previous Zyuranger/MMPR galleries, Tricera/Blue Ranger is perfectly suited to vehicles released in both the MMPR & Zyuranger toylines, just like his team mates Dan/Billy will look right at home on any of them.
Tricera Ranger includes not only the standard accessories of extra hands, a Ranger Stick, and Ranger Slinger. But he also comes with his signature Tricera Lances as well as their combined form. AND he includes the newly molded Sabre Daggers & Ptera Arrow necessary to form the Howling Cannon! Of course for our Power Rangers fans out there that means you just got 2 steps closer to forming the Power Blaster! These accessories, as well as those included with S.H. Figuarts Mammoth Ranger gets us most of the way there, but the appropriate Mammoth Breaker will be included with the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger.
If you’re on the fence about this figure, don’t be. S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger/Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger will not disappoint. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see over 60 images of this wonderful figure!
ALL ABOARD!
From Ressha Sentai ToQGer,Premium Bandai has announced plans to release an actual Ticket puppet!
The cost for the puppet will be a mere 2,970 yen but the bad news is that it seems like the Puppet will be sold in limited quantities and a chance to pre order the item will be raffled off via some sort of lottery. For now, there isn’t a whole lot of information to go on but stay tuned! We’ll bring you more info as it becomes available.
We now have our first real look at ToQ 6’s arsenal!
The Orange newcomer transforms using the smartphone-based Appli Changer which is sold with the DX Build Ressha, not to be confused with the larger DX Build Resshas that make up his robo. The Appli Changer is priced at 3500 Yen.
ToQ 6’s main weapon is the Yudou Breaker which includes the DX Drill Ressha. Buying the Breaker will set you back 4200 Yen.
Both items should be released by the end of June! Keep an eye on your favorite retailers if you want to add these to your collections!
Some new scans for the ToQGer summer movie “Galaxy Line SOS” are now online!
The “Galaxy Line” is the official name for the Safari Ressha team. The Safaris have their own new conductor (identified only as Lady) who seems to have her own version of Ticket. Lady’s Line is pursued by Count Nil, a new Shadow warrior voiced by Kenichi Maeyamada (also known by the stage name “Hyadain”) a composer responsible for several anime projects.
“ToQGer The Movie: Galaxy Line SOS!” premiers in theaters July 19! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
