“Stand back rangers, I’ll take it from here.”

In the year 2025 Space Patrol Delta protects the galaxy and Earth, from threats both terrestrial and extra. And the SPD B-Squad has done a valiant job defending Earth since the mysterious disappearance of the A-Squad Rangers. But facing their toughest enemies yet, and even with the help of Shadow Ranger, they may not be enough. In their darkest hour, a mysterious being of light arrives to turn the tide in the fight against Emperor Grumm and his legions. A force from the future has returned to his past to save it! SPD Omega Ranger!

The SPD Omega Ranger arrives in the Lightning Collection and brings along with him his signature ride, the Uni-Force Cycle! This two-pack was a pretty big surprise earlier this year and we’re happy to report it’s turned out very nicely indeed. Featuring all the articulation hallmarks of the line, the Omega Ranger is another stunner of a release. Paired up with his own vehicle, this is by far one of the coolest and most complete feeling releases in the line and definitely sets the bar high for future special sets.

“This’ll be Kurenai’s debut battle.”

It is the Summer of Training. And while mentoring Todoroki’s inconsistent practice of the Taiko drum, and even bestowing the Ongekibou to both Todoroki & Ibuki, Kamen Rider Hibiki furiously trains himself. Faster, stronger, hotter. Burning brighter than he ever has before, Hibiki must master the rhythm of his core and burn like fire! Without it, the deadly Dorotabou will continue to multiply, wreaking havoc on the local villages. With an inferno of strength raging in his heart, Hibiki explodes into a new form, Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai!

Hibiki Kurenai is the first new figure that Kamen Rier Hibiki himself has received in the 6 years since his original S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou release. And explosive is the best descriptor for. A gorgeous redeco of the base Hibiki mold, this fiery repaint brings all the articulation hallmarks of this line with it. But more than that it comes armed with a vast array of accessories and weapons like the Disc Animals, Onkaku, Ongekibou and the Onizume! As the 5th release in the Hibiki Seihou line, what can we expect next of the Oni Riders?

Next time we’re heading back to the year 2025 for our review of a powerful 2-pack, the SPD Omega Ranger & Uniforce Cycle from Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection!

“I was … trapped in a nightmare.”

When the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers freed Tommy Oliver from Rita Repulsa’s control, the prophecy was fulfilled and the Green Ranger, joined the side of good to defend the Earth. In one world. Once free in another, Tommy became something else entirely, Lord Drakkon. He ruled over a shattered world where only the Coinless stood against him. No longer a Power Ranger, Kimberly Hart continued fighting for her world, until she was manipulated by Lord Drakkon. Cursed with the Bow of Darkness, Kimberly became his tool. She became his Ranger Slayer. Her path has been full of darkness, but once a ranger always a ranger….

The Ranger Slayer joins the line as a part of Wave 5, along side the MMPR Blue Ranger, Time Force Red, and Trey of Triforia. Only the 2nd Boom! Studios inspired figure in the line, after Lord Drakkon, Ranger Slayer builds on the imperfect releases of the MMPR Pink & Yellow Rangers to give us our first really great female figure in the line. Armed with her own Blade Blaster, the Bow of Darkness, a triple shot arrow & arrow energy effect part, Ranger Slayer really is one of our favorite releases in the line thus far.

We’ve assembled over 50 images of the Lightning Collection Ranger Slayer for your viewing pleasure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full gallery and review thread. Next time we’re returning to the world of the Oni Riders with a new gallery from Kamen Rider Hibiki!

Today’s geek culture has taken a serious hit thanks to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19.  We have seen the staples in the convention world shut down with a shift to offering only a spattering of the content we’re used to, sometimes behind a paywall.  Power Rangers fans will no doubt know that both Power Morphicon and RangerStop were forced to postpone their shows until next year at the earliest – there is no guarantee conventions will ever resume like they used to.

TokuNation is proud to announce our participation with The Viewing Globe – a Power Rangers Online Fan Experience for this Labor Day Weekend (September 4th through September 6th).  This is a free convention created by fans of Power Rangers and tokusatsu in general.

The first guest announcements are as follows:

  • Jason David Frank (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)
  • Members of the cast of Power Rangers Beast Morphers

Check out the full press release by clicking “Read More”.  Be sure to follow The Viewing Globe on all of their social media to keep up to date with all the news and information coming out for this fan experience.  New guest announcements every day leading up to the show!

“You know better than to think we’d forget about you,
Ryotaro.”

Ryotaro Nogami has terrible luck. He’s clumsy, gullible, frightful, and one of the best people you could ever know. Kind & strong, though not particularly brave, Ryotaro carries in him all the qualities that can make a hero. Including a revolving door of monsters possessing his body! On his own Ryotaro may seem weak, but when he’s partnered with the ‘Taros he’s unstoppable, as Kamen Rider Den-O! With the fiery peach oni Momotaros, Den-O Sword Form is born! But when possessed by the deadly dancing dragon Ryutaros, Den-O Gun Form arrives! Travelling the train of time, righting wrongs of the past, from start to finish this rider is always at a climax!

I have waited years for this day. Since the Shinkocchou Seihou line began I’ve hope for Den-O to receive this premium re-design treatment, and at long last that patience has paid off. This stunning release packs a one-two punch of not only Den-O Sword Form, but parts to form change him to Den-O Gun Form as well. It’s such a lovely way to recreate my favorite Kamen Rider that I purchased an extra to display both forms together. Equipped with the parts for both of these forms, Seihou Den-O also includes the respective forms of the Dengasher, a whopping 7 pairs of hands, and two forms of the Den-Liner pass!! in the personal opinion of this massive Den-O fan, this is Bandai & Tamashii Nations’ figure of the year. Hands down.

We’ve assembled a massive 120 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Den-O. You can read through our entire review as well as check out the full gallery (with more than a few surprise guests!) after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. In a few days we return to the world of The Coinless with a brand new gallery of the Lightning Collection Ranger Slayer!

“The elevation increases as the bullet is fired.”

For as long as Fuwa Isamu could remember, his past was ruined by the berserk Humagears of Daybreak Town. Holding a grudge against them all because of this, Fuwa dedicated himself to their total destruction as a member of A.I.M.S. However, this was all a plot by president Gai Amatsu of ZAIA, to drive Fuwa to hate Humagears even more as he became a Kamen Rider. But with the knowledge of his true past revealed, and both he and Naki free of ZAIA’s control, Fuwa is ready to continue fighting free of the anger that drove him. Instead Fuwa will help defend Humagears with Aruto Hiden & Izu. He will realize his own dream, to truly be Kamen Rider Vulcan!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan is the second release in the Zero-One subline and so far these releases are shaping up very very nicely. Like Zero-One, Vulcan is an articulation dream, capable of striking poses in natural and appropriately exaggerated fashion. While he doesn’t have the same kind of fun black light gimmick as Aruto, Fuwa makes up for that with a wealth of accessories. Like his waist mounted (and functional!) Shot Riser, the 4 sets of hands, his own Attache Shotgun, and the Attache Calibur for Zero-One! This is an incredibly well rounded release.

We’ve assembled 50+ images for our gallery of S.H Figuarts Kamen Rider Vulcan Shooting Wolf and you can see them all in the full gallery thread linked below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we’ll be back with a brand new gallery from the world of the Makai Knights & Garo with Dark Knight Kiba!

“The steel blue warrior! Tank Tank!”

In his berserker Hazard Form, Sento Kiryu can gain the upper hand in any fight. To contain this uncontrollable power, Sento develops a new Full Bottle to channel his strength and his consciousness. With the Full Full Rabbit Tank Bottle, two new divergent forms are born! One with all the speed and agility of a rabbit, the crimson speedy jumper Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Rabbit Form! The other, bearing the firepower of it’s own military force and the strength to wield it, the steel blue warrior, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form! Representing his home Seito in the 3-round battle, Build tests his new powers against the dangerous Kamen Rider Rogue….

Joining an ever growing family of riders, villains, and alternate forms, Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form will fight for love and peace as the beefy power house of your Build collection. A retool of the fantastic Rabbit Rabbit Form, Tank Tank utilizes what has been an excellent base figuart mold throughout the series, but also adds some extra flavor to the mix with the inclusion of the massive Full Full Match Break Tank Mode parts! Armed with these and the Full Bottle Buster, Tank Tank Form is a must own for any Kamen Rider Build fan.

We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Tank Tank Form for your viewing pleasure. To see them all as well as read through our full review of this release, just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back later this week with another authorized gallery from Kamen Rider Zero-One with the shooting wolf himself, Vulcan!
