Friend of the site Stylin Online[/URL] has launched a Kickstarter[/URL] project along with B’lockhouse (aka Josh Blaylock of Devils Due fame) to produce a new artist based T-Shirt line called Artist Alley Tees. They have gotten the project up and running already, with artwork and test runs done (artists paid), but are looking to Kickstarter to see if there is demand for a wider production run. Of note for our Tokunation fans – one of the first themes are Kaiju!

From the Kickstarter page:

ARTIST ALLEY TEES is a simple concept. We pick the comic artists you love, give them some themes that are all the current rage, and set them loose designing their own tees.

For this inaugural launch we have Zombies, Robots and yup, giant “Kaiju” monsters!

We envision an apparel brand where in the future you’ll be able to find AA Tees at the convention table of your favorite artist, at our own comic-con booths, and online. But after each run, when shirts are gone they’re gone, just like a limited edition variant cover.

The initial round of artists include Art Baltazar, K. Lynn Smith, Nei Ruffino, Phil Hester, and Tim Seeley. This isn’t like some of the parody / mash up / one a day sites out there. Seems to be more artist focused with larger print runs and available longer, even if limited. Bagging and boarding the shirts is a nice touch too IMO.

Check out full details over at Kickstarter[/URL], and support if you dig it!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming this week, for a movie! That’s right, it’s that time at Let’s Watch Wednesdays! Time for a movie interlude for Mahou Sentai Magiranger!

The Bride of Infershia, is Yamazaki?! The Hades Beastman Groom Do Bridon has claimed her as his bride, now Kai and his siblings must save his young love from the King of beastmen. For if he marries a human woman, the souls of his trapped brethren will roam free again. The world will be Infershia’s in an instant. To stop the Groom the Ozu’s will travel to Magitopia and seek the aid of a legendary steed, Unigolon! The mighty Saint Kaiser will rise!!

Be sure to click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our weekly discussion thread for Magiranger. And remember we’ll be back on track with regular episodes of the series starting next week, just before our detour into a certain VS movie!

Let’s Watch Wednesdays continues an adventure of magic, monsters, and cats in lamps! It’s time for more Mahou Sentai Magiranger!

A thieving Hades Beast has stolen Kai’s courage, and along with it the Travellion ticket! But the team will overcome, Hikaru certainly thinks so, and that these five magicians can create a new Legend together. And Wolzard’s magic has been taken by Meemy, and crafted into the Wolzaphone! And the 4 Beastman Hell Kings will rise once more. The beings who once almost defeated the Magirangers father, Blaigel….

As always be sure to join our discussion of this weeks selection of episodes by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t forget that next week we’ll be taking a detour on our magical adventure. Next week we’re watching Magiranger The Movie: Bride of Infershia!

We’re almost at the halfway point of Let’s Watch Wednesdays @ TokuNation featuring Mahou Sentai Magiranger!

Hikaru, has taken it upon himself to guide & teach the Ozu family. Using the powers of Magi Shine and the Heavenly Steel God Travellion he’s more than a match for most Infershia. But Wolzard has once again returned, with a new sword forged of N-Ma’s fang! To turn the Magirangers to darkness he will attempt to defeat a Heavenly Saint once again. And Tsubasa will tempt fate and the universe to use Reverse Magic. To save the souls of many, he may lose his own.

If you haven’t figured it out by now, this is the part where we link you to this weeks discussion. Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to join in our weekly roundtable on all things Magi(ranger)cal.

Tenku Henshin!

Mahou Sentai Magiranger is back! And Let’s Watch Wednesdays just keep on rolling along, and this week we brought a train! It’s time for a new warrior and a transforming train of magical justice for this installment!

Branken is defeated. And the Magitopian traitor Raigel has revived as the madou priest, Meemy! Using his dark powers he’ll revive the Hades Beast Men, so it looks like it’s time for a new hero to appear! Smoky, the wish granting genie of the lamp! Though he doesn’t seem so heroic on his own. But perhaps his master will appear? A cursed golden hero, freed by a kiss? The shining solar elemental, Magi Shine! And he brings with him the mighty Travellion!

After the release of Episode 04, “The Longest Hiatus”, the hosts of Talkin Toku at the Nation vowed to never let such a long hiatus happen again. And then Kickback’s computer blew up, and an unintentional delay occured – creating the new longest hiatus. To make up for it we’re bringing you an episode crammed full of discussion on the things you want to hear us talk about! After being challenged by a listener and a good friend, there is no dedicated talk to Kamen Rider Gaim in this episode. That’s right – NO JUICY FRUIT. Instead, we focus on the bigger items that occured … Toy Fair 2014 with Sentai Tamashii, who was there and provided a ton of the information and images that we put up! We spend the most time discussing Power Rangers Super Megaforce and its first episode premiere – and end the show tasting the trainbow with discussion on the premiere episode of Ressha Sentai ToQGer! Here’s a more specific run down!

 

  • Kickback’s computer woes
  • A News Brief to touch on a few items we didn’t have time to discuss in full
  • Sentai Tamashii’s first hand experience of Toy Fair 2014
  • Why Sentai Tamashii can’t be allowed to attend conventions anymore
  • Power Rangers Dino Charge and the skipping of Tokumei Sentai GoBusters
  • Our thoughts on the premiere of Power Rangers Super Megaforce
  • Our thoughts on the use of the suits of Gosei Sentai DaiRanger
  • Tasting the Trainbow with Ressha Sentai ToQGer’s Premiere
  • An inappropriate conclusion involving Super Mega, Sentai Tamashii, and his wife

Mahou Sentai Magiranger continues on Let’s Watch Wednesdays at Tokunation!

The key has been found! The woman “Rin” is who the Magirangers must protect. But does she merely have the key, or is she the key itself? Or will she reveal herself to be something much more? Wolzard has finished amassing dark power as well. His chance to battle a Heavenly Saint has come. And the Hades Gate will appear, will the Infershia legions slip through? Will Branken actually be the victorious general at last? A new darkness will rise, very soon.

As always we’d like you to join us in our weekly discussion thread for LWW. Just click “Discussion the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to head right over!

And we’re back with another Ultra-Act gallery! You may remember our little segment on Let’s Watch Wednesdays last year featuring Ultraman Nexus. Is so you’re in luck, today’s gallery is of none other than Ultraman Noa!

Noa is the true and Ultimate form of The Next & Ultraman Nexus. A being of immeasurable power Noa has protected his universe for hundreds of thousands of years. Dark Zagi was even cloned from Noa by the Visitors in the hopes of creating a second great hero. In an ironic twist of this relationship the Ultra-Act Noa figure is a remold of Ultra-Act Dark Zagi instead. As yet another excellent addition to the Ultra-Act line, Noa has received a gorgeous design & sculpt as well as selection of accessories despite his extremely limited appearances.
