With a total of 54 galleries from 2018 making our users eligible for entry, it was anyone’s game to win. As stated with the announcement of this year’s giveaway, we aren’t doing big huge prize packs anymore.

And for this year, we wanted your prizes to be total surprises. So the winners won’t know what they’re getting, until it arrives! The only thing that we ask, as always, is that if a prize is something you already own or do not want, please pay it forward. We’d just ask that you pass the good will along to someone else who could use a little good luck to kick their year off right.

Now, without further adieu, the 7 winners of the 7th Toku Toy Box are:

-ARGiammarco
-Switchblade

Once again it’s the time of year that the community and our staff love most – time for all of us to celebrate our respective holidays & traditions with the friends and loved ones we hold dear. But it’s also time for TokuNation.com to celebrate itself. Our little community is hitting another milestone this year, our 7 year anniversary!! January 4th 2019, will officially mark 7 years since TokuNation first went public as part of the network of TFW2005.COM, ToyArk.com, and HissTank.com through both network owner Tony_Bacala and our founder and original Editor-In-Chief, TokuChris.

For 7 years now we’ve posted news, rumors, toy galleries, videos, and even dabbled in podcasts for a bit (never forget Talkin Toku!). As times have changed we’ve done our best to change with them, delivering you content in different ways, covering new and exciting topics, and trying to improve our social outreach. This year we even had some leadership changes as I took over full time as Editor-In-Chief from our founder and my dear friend Toku Chris. But the more things change, the more they stay the same as well! There’s one constant that’s been with us since our first year – the annual Toku Toy Box giveaway!

Like years’ past, TokuNation is hosting an annual holiday giveaway open to ALL registered users! You’ll recall that in years’ past giveaways, users could post in a selection of galleries within the contest period to automatically be entered into the drawing for several prizes. This year however we’ve opened things up. Not only will we be posting a number of eligible galleries throughout the month of December, but every gallery we’ve posted in 2018 also makes you eligible! If you’ve already posted in the 1 of the over 40 galleries we’ve produced this year, then you’re already entered. If not, you already have over 40 chances with more on the way this month! To show our appreciation to you, the community, we’ve assembled a number of individual prizes instead of prize packs this year. We wanted to share the love around a bit more than we have with big concentrated prizes in the past. So this year will see a number of individual prizes distributed to our random winners, so there are even more chances to win this year than ever!

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the OFFICIAL RULES for of Toku Toy Box 2018! The first new gallery of the giveaway period will be posted later today, so be on the lookout! For now though, thank you. Thanks to all of you who continue to call this place your home for news, discussion, images, sales, friendships, artwork, videos, podcasts, and everything else in between. Happy Holidays from all of us, and best of luck in our giveaway! It’s our gift to you this, and every, holiday season!

“I’ve taken my sons’ Drive back!!”

As we prepare to celebrate the new year, we look forward to the future. What? No, not 2018, but the year 2035! The Paradox Roidmude traveled back from that time to trick Kamen Rider Drive into giving him his ultimate power. Desecrating even the memory of Shinnosuke’s son, by posing as him to do it. Using the corrupted powers of the future Drive, Paradox tried to take everything from Shinnosuke. But with a bit of luck, Mr. Belts’ help, and the spirit of Eiji Tomari a power was born to defeat Paradox. A fusion of Shinnosuke’s Type Speed and Eiji’s un-corrupted Type Next, the subject of our final gallery of the year is none other than S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special! 

Drive Type Special is one again heavily based  on the trusty Type Speed body we’ve come to know over the years. More specifically it’s a slight repaint and remold of Dark Drive which was also recently released. The two suits were exclusive to the Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future movie.  This figure takes the great things implemented with Dark Drive and adds a more heroic spin to them. While lite on the accessories, Drive Type Special is just such a charming release, and it’s nice to have one more of Drive’s movie exclusive forms at last.

We’ve attached the full 60+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll see again in the future! Happy New Year!

“We’ll clear this with perfect co-op play!”

Toku Toy Box is bringing it back again with another new gallery from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!  When Emu Hojo managed to create the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat no one was more surprised than him about what came next. Two riders from one person! One half cool and collected Emu, one half Genius Gamer M (or rather Parad), the Mighty Brothers were an incredible tag team that took on Kuroto Dan when no one else could. Now they take him on in toy form with the release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer Level XX LR Set!

The Mighty Brothers are of course bringing back that excellent Ex-Aid/Mighty Action body type. We’ve seen it a few times and it’s always excellent. Each Brother is the perfect compliment to one another. The perfect foil to a Dangerous Zombie in your display, both are armed with Gashacon Key Slashers, multiple sets of hands, and a swap out part to recreate their signature pose. This set has all the charm, charisma, and slick colors to make the perfect addition to your collection!

We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery to this post but you can also check out our extensive review of the Mighty Brothers below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with another new Ex-Aid gallery!

“5th Gear!”

You’ve seen our previous galleries of the Drago Knight Hunter Z derived Level 5 forms for Kamen Riders Ex-Aid, Brave & Snipe. But now it’s time for Kiriya Kujou to shift into 5th Gear with his own form based on this Gashat! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Hunter Bike Gamer Level 5! 

Lazer Level 5 is an interesting release because frankly it’s one that many fans have settled for. At the time of it’s announcement, it was the only one of Lazer’s three humanoid rider forms to have been solicited for release. And while it shares elements with his more heavily favored Level 3 form, it’s just not the one that many collectors wanted. Now we know that Lazer Turbo Level 0 is on the way as well, Level 3 seems even more likely to happen in the future. So does this figure merit a spot in your collection? At least ti go with the rest of a 4-player co-op display? Check out our full review to decide for yourself.

We’ve attached the full 70 image gallery to this post, but you can also read the entire review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with a double sized gallery featuring two releases separated by nearly 4 years. It’s been too long since we’ve revisited the Showa Era!

Our site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com have sent out a new E-mail announcing their Holiday Sale as well as new pre-orders and new arrivals! The cool thing about their Holiday Sale is that they’ve broken it down in to two categories – gifts over $50 and gifts under $50. Looking for some toku merchandise for yourself or that special someone this holiday season? We’ve created our cheat sheet – check it out below after the new pre-orders and new arrivals!

NEW PRE-ORDERS! NEW ARRIVALS! HOLIDAY SALE – TOKU GIFTS OVER $50! HOLIDAY SALE – TOKU GIFTS UNDER $50

As always, we’ve listed the newsletter in the “Read More” portion of this story. Happy toy hunting/purchasing! Can’t recommend grabbing that S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Red figure at that price – he will NOT be that cheap in the future once Power Rangers Dino Charge begins airing!
