Go galactic!

Agter some extensive coverage of this years New York Toy Fair, it’s to share a gallery with the community that we just could not wait on any longer.Power Rangers & Super Sentai collectors are no strangers to special edition repaints & limited releases. And often items in this category can become increasingly rare & expensive over time, but one release in particular is one of the most sought after pieces in Power Rangers history. Mostly because of it’s extremely limited release venue. Well today we have a rare opportunity to share with you a full gallery of the Deluxe 14K Gold Plated Galaxy Megazord! And we’ve also given it a side by side comparison with it’s closest Japenese counterpart, DX Black GingaiOh!

The Gold Galaxy Megazord was an expensive and limited release that was originally only sold at the now defunct FAO Schwartz retail chain. When these began surfacing in the early 2000’s many collectors simply didn’t believe they were real. At one time there were thought to be lass than 5 in existence as well, now that number has been proven to be closer to around 15+. Because of it’s limited nature and the authentic 14K gold used to plate it, this set has commanded high prices for years, luckily we were able to snag one for an amazing deal for this gallery.

We’ve attached a small selection of images to this post but please enjoy over 75 images of this magnificent set after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. It was an honor to be able to handle such a limited set and I hope the community enjoys getting a good look at it. I’ll be back soon with a look back at another sought after limited repaint as well, DX Black Daizyujin from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger!

Just over two years ago, three friends got together and decided that all their conversations they were having on text messages could be translated to an audio format – like a podcast – and maybe people would be interested in hearing what they had to say. Fast forward two years and we’ve been incredibly humbled by everyone’s support and well wishes for our podcast – Talkin Toku Podcast – as we’ve slowly began to close shop.

Today is the day that we officially end the podcast.

But, to quote the immortal band Semisonic and their infamous goodbye song, “every new beginning comes from some other new beginning’s end” – and nothing could be truer. While the podcast comes to a close, we’ve been working behind the scenes on expanding our media footprint in the world. While we don’t have anything specifically to share or announce as of right now, please note that we’ve committed ourselves to new, engaging ways to bring to you the same humor and passion that you’ve come to expect. Trust us when we say it’s worth the wait!

We’ve come to the end folks! With only one day left before we announce the winner of Toku Toy Box we’re officially posting our last gallery for the competition today! Tomorrow we’ll be featuring a roundup of all eligible entries for this years giveaway. But for now we’re going to take a look at our final entry, S.H. Figuarts Red Buster Gallery 2.0!

While Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters was not fondly looked upon by many fans it’s still a personal favorite of mine. Much like the series many people were turned off by the Red Buster figuart. Admittedly he’s not perfect, thanks to the limited upper arm movement and especially difficult to swap hands. But Red Buster more than captures the look of it’s on screen counterpart and includes a wealth of accessories like the Sougan Blade, Ichigan Buster, & the combined Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode! While imperfect Red Buster is still an admirable release that goes for some pretty rock bottom prices. Anyone looking to fill out their Super Sentai displays should definitely pick this one up!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but we’ve assembled a full review and over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Red Buster after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this page to see them all! And remember this is your FINAL chance to qualify for the Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

2015 is officially coming to a close tonight for those of us in the US, and for many of our users around the world 2016 has already dawned! But before we can ring in the new year we wanted to find out what YOU thought about the toy releases of this past year. What were your Top Toku Toys of 2015?

Some of the staff got together recently to share their thoughts on what exactly the top toku toys of this year were. Our answers ranged from the inexpensive and fun 66Action figures, to S.H. Figuarts like Drive & Mach, all the way up the other end of the spectrum with S.H. Figuarts Tridoron!

We’ve included our picks after the jump below, you can see them by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. But please feel free to share what your favorite toku toys of 2015 were.

2016, here we come!

Just in time for the end of the year we have another behemoth Rider Machine to review! Not to be entirely outdone by Kamen Rider Drive’s Tridoron,[/URL] the late Showa classic Kamen Rider Black RX swoops in with this massive release to round out the year. S.H. Figuarts Ridoron!

The Ridoron, much like Black RX’s other ally Acrobatter, is a sentient machine that allied itself with RX in the battle against Crisis Empire. The Ridoron figuart is yet another excellent huge addition to the line following in the footsteps of other big releases like Machine Itasha & Tridoron. This one is a very straightforward release with no real accessories aside from the antennae you need to attach. However Ridoron does feature some excellent action features in the form of spring-loaded mandibles in the front bumper and functional turbines in the rear!

S.H. Figuarts Ridoron is another welcome addition to any Kamen Rider Black or Black RX collection. Feel free to check out over 30 images of Ridoron as well as a full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.  And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

For-For-For-Formula!

After the holiday rush Toku Toy Box is back in full swing with a brand new gallery! Today we’re making another pit stop with Kamen Rider Drive and S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Formula!

Type Formula is Drive’s penultimate form, and much like his final form it has it’s lovers & detractors. I for one have always been a big fan of the Formula design but it doesn’t work for everyone. A recent Tamashii Web Exclusive, Formula is a unique release. Yes it includes the requisite extra hands, Formula Shift Car, Trailer Cannon, & even the swap-out Core Driviar-N chest. But Type Formula also includes a full decal sheet! The decals on this sheet help you recreate every single Shift Car “sponsor logo” on the suit! While this may seem tedious to most I have to admit it wasn’t that bad in practice.

We’ve included basically 2 galleries for the price of 1 here. A number of detailed photos of Type Formla without decals applied and a complete set of photos with decals applied as well! Read on by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to enjoy over 80 images of Drive Type Formula! And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!
