“All that’s left is your obsession with Amazons!”
“That was there from the very beginning!”

Continually hunted by 4C, Haruka Mizusawa stumbles onto the darkest secret yet in the history of the Amazon Cells. In a quiet mountain village children are cared for until they can find new homes. At least, that’s the cover story. In reality this is a farm for growing meat. Young Amazons are grown and sold to wealthy humans as livestock, eaten as a delicacy. Darker still, these children are bred from the blood of Jin Takayama, miraculously still alive. This horrific new iteration of the Sigma Project brings Amazon Alpha & Amazon Omega together for their final climactic battle. The Final Judgement is here.

It’s been a long time coming for me to review this set. Having collected every other release from Kamen Rider Amazons, I simply couldn’t pass up on this one any longer. Based on the Amazons film The Last Judgement, this set recreates Kamen Rider’s Amazon Alpha & Amazon Omega in their final blood splattered appearances. Remolded and repainted with copious battle damage, these two look live they’ve been through hell, and they really have. While they may seem like superfluous releases to many, they’re absolutely necessary to me. Check out our comprehensive list of Amazons related gallery below to catch up with everything we’ve reviewed for this series:

“Zack here, this is kicking!”

An interdimensional wizard asking him to defend the earth from a 10,000 year old witch may have been just too weird for Zack Taylor, at first. But faced with a choice, let monsters attack him and his friends or step up and defend the Earth, he was always going to do the right thing. Clever & brave, Zack was gifted the powers of the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger & the powerful Mastodon Dinozord! Protecting Earth from the likes of Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd, Zack was the first in a long line of Black Powers Rangers and powerful black heroes.

Finally rounding out the core team of the original 5 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger brings us around to our 2nd release for Zack Taylor in the line. First released in his Dragon Shield form, this standard variant gives us  many of the same accessories. The Power Axe is a straight repack and the effect for it cast in new colors, we get a pair of hands, the Blade Blaster gun mode as well as a brand new sculpt for the sword/blade mode, and we get an all new unmasked headsculpt based on the likeness of Zack’s actor Walter Jones! That’s more than enough variety to warrant purchasing this character again in my opinion.

“Dino Thunder, power up!”

Connor McKnight could have never guessed that his teacher, Dr. Tommy Oliver, was once a Power Ranger. But after accidentally bonding with an ancient Dino Gem, becoming a Power Ranger himself with his two best friends, and facing off against the forces of an evil dinosaur mutant bent on returning Earth to the age of dinosaurs, nothing surprises him now. With power from within and the roar of the T-Rex in his heart, Connor has become the Dino Thunder Red Ranger! Protectors of the right, defenders sworn to fight, together Connor Ethan & Kira are the Power Rangers Dino Thunder!

The 3rd release from Power Rangers Dino Thunder is here! Following on from the White Ranger and Fighting Spirit Green Ranger, the Dino Thunder Red Ranger brings a bit more heroic red presence to your collection, and a ton of accessories along with it. Equipped with the Thundermax Blaster & Saber, Connor also comes with a brand new unique effect part for the saber, the Tyranno Staff, extra hands and an unmasked head based on the likeness of Connor’s actor James Napier! That’s quite the complete package for this figure.

“My strength is off the charts.”

The cruelty of humanity. That is what Gai Amatsu instilled in Satellite Ark. In doing so he instigated not only the Daybreak Town Incident, but also the creation of Metsuboujinrai.net, and all the pain to come for both humans & humagears. For 12 years Gai has manipulated events from the comfortable shadows of ZAIA Enterprise. Now the mysterious man behind A.I.M.S. has his sights set on Hiden Intelligence as well, but can Zero-One keep his grandfather’s company safe? Gai Amatsu is a master manipulator, and maybe one day, he could even be a hero. But for now? With strength that’s 1000% greater than Zero-One’s, the golden solider Kamen Rider Thouser is born!

Sharing it’s essential engineering and even some actual parts with Zero-One, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Thouser is a pretty regal release. Gold & silver with royal purple compound eyes, Thouser is exactly as ostentatious as it’s user would have hoped. A lavishly detailed and well executed figure with a handful of design drawbacks, Thouser is complimented by his Thousand Jacker and even includes a Raidriser for use with other figures! While not a perfect release it will add 1000% more power to your collection.

“Get off our planet!”

Billy Cranston was an average kid with a way beyond average intellect. Making his way through high school with his friends was hard enough, before a benevolent inter-dimensional being chose him and 4 others to protect the Earth from an ancient evil sorceress! Patient & wise, Billy was gifted the powers of the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger & the powerful Triceratops Dinozord! Part of an incredible team, Billy defended the Earth for years to come as it’s one and only Blue Ranger. When things changed, Billy was always there with a steady hand and strong mind to help guide the Power Rangers towards victory.

The Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger finally rounds out our reviews of the Lightning Collection Wave 5 figures, and brings us close to having the full MMPR team. Armed with the Tricera Lance in both forms as well as his Blade Blaster Billy is ready to face any threat. Of course some extra hands, and energy effect, and an unmasked head based on the likeness of actor David Yost also round out this release! Next time we revisit MMPR one more time to round out the final standard member of the team with the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger!

“Time for, Time Force!”

Travelling back in time from the year 3000 the wanted criminal Ransik sought to control the Earth before his enemies at Time Force ever even existed. Having disposed with the Red Ranger of his time, Alex Drake, Ransik had ensured his enemies could no longer Morph despite following him to the past. Luckily for Time Force though, Alex’s ancestor Wes Collins was willing to step up and ensure that the future came to pass. With the DNA locks on their Chronomorphers broken, the Time Force Rangers could access their powers again! Joining these heroes from the future, Wes Collins is the Time Force Red Ranger!

The Time Force Red Ranger brings us the first of these time travelling heroes to the Power Rangers Lightning Collection. Building from all the standard articulation hallmarks of the line, Wes also has quite the accessories to accompany him. Both of his Chrono Sabers, an effect part for them, the Chrono Blaster, a pair of hands, and an unmasked head of Wes Collins based on the likeness of his actor, Jason Faunt! That’s quite a release to kick off a team of rangers with.

“Drago power, white ranger.”

Both of Trent Fernandez’s parents were lost in an archaeological dig accident, while working for Anton Mercer. The man who would be Mesogog. And the man who would also become Trent’s adoptive father. Not knowing his new guardians’ alter ego, Trent unwittingly stumbled into one of Mesogog’s invisportals and discovered the White Dino Gem. Fused with it’s power, and taken control of by it’s evil intent, Trent savagely attacked the Power Rangers many times. That is until his father, able to briefly suppress Mesogog, freed Trent of the gem’s influence. Finally in control of his own power and ready to defend the world against Mesogog’s army of monsters, Trent Mercer joined the Power Rangers as the Dino Thunder White Ranger!

The Lightning Collection Dino Thunder White Ranger was released earlier this year as a Walgreen’s exclusive in the US, actually well before it’s official announcement. And some glaring issues with it’s head aside, this is an excellent release. A dynamic figure with plenty of paint apps (though a few are missing) and some pretty great accessories like the Drago Sword and laser arrow effects, the White Ranger is a great way to kick of the Dino Thunder Rangers in this line.

“Let my true power return!”

Manipulating the world around him since he arrived on Earth, the alien Evolt has continued to evolve. Shedding the skin of Blood Stalk thanks to the Evol Driver at Phase 1, absorbing the rage of a dragon with Ryuga at Phase 2, and absorbing the rabbit genius with Sento at Phase 3. But with the powers of the Evol Trigger finally restored, an even greater evolution is revealed as Evolt enters Phase 4. The awesome power of Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole is reborn! Consuming everything in his path, this is the power that destroyed Mars, and will destroy the Earth if Kamen Rider Build and his allies fail. Are you ready?

The destroyer of worlds return in his Phase 4 form, as Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole! This is a completely stunning remold and repaint of the previously released Evol Phase 1. Though this release doesn’t include any optional armor like that one, only coming with some additional pairs of hands, it’s an incredibly well done recreation of Evol’s ultimate form. While it may have a few minor flaws, it carries with it all the personality and charms of the previous release, while being able to focus on it’s singular form.

Figuarts Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole in the thread linked below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And remember, commenting in this gallery thread will qualify you for one (1) additional entry in our annual TOKU TOY BOX giveaway! Offical rules HERE.

“Do it Ejji! Henshin!”

800 years ago 4 alchemists created the Greeed. Incapable of human emotion and consumed by craving, they desired to consume the world. Before they could, they were sealed away by the first OOO. In the present Eiji Hino was minding his own business as a part time security guard when Ankh managed to break the seal on the Greeed, releasing them back into the human world. Still craving to be whole, nothing could stand in their way without the power of the King. Though still incomplete himself, just a disembodied hand, Ankh stole some of their Core Medals and the OOO Driver looking to find a human pawn. Handing the Driver of the king and the Core Medals over to the hapless Eiji, Ankh allowed him to become Kamen Rider OOO!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ankh is now Bandai’s third attempt to get the incomplete form of this character right. Taking what came before it in the form of a first run bonus, then a bonafide accessory set, Seihou Ankh aims to be the all in one package and for the most part succeeds. Including iconic accessories like Ankh’s Ice Pop, cell phone, and two sets of Core Medals, this figure is also capable of becoming the forearm of Seihou Human Form Ankh. With a variety of options like this, and perfectly complimenting Shinkocchou Seihou OOO, Ankh should hit the sweet spot for most collectors.

“Go tell King Mondo, if it’s a fight he wants, it’s a fight he’s gonna get!”

Tommy Oliver has been a Power Ranger before. First as the corrupted Green Ranger before turning to the side of good, and again as he was given another chance and a new set of powers as the White Ranger. But with his powers destroyed and the Command Center in ruins, what’s left for this once Mighty Morphin hero? Alpha 5 & Zordon have spent years preparing for this , a day when the Power Rangers as we know them, would be gone forever, and a new fighting force would have to take their place. With the Machine Empire and it’s fearsome new monsters invading Earth, the only team that can stand up to them is the Power Rangers Zeo! Imbued with the energy of the Zeo Crystals, each ranger is stronger than before! Tommy once again heeds the call to defend Earth, but this time as Zeo Ranger V, RED!

The Red Zeo Ranger joins the Power Rangers Lightning Collection for Wave 6, and marks the 3rd (or 4th) release so far for the team after Blue and the two different Gold’s. Building off the solid base that is the Zeo Ranger mold, Tommy is an excellent release. With all the right articulation hallmarks needed for dynamic posing, this figure is also packed with accessories. Like an unmasked head sculpt, a Zeo Laser Pistol & effect part for it, the Power Pod Sword, and the Zeo V Power Sword! While a couple of issues persist from the last release, this feels like an all around improvement.
