“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?

“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!

“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!

“There’s only one thing that can stop you, and that’s me!”

In a world where the life of the average human has been made easier by robotic helpers called Humagears, Hiden Intelligence is at the forefront of technological advancement. But with the passing of their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, the duties & responsibilities of president have passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, this young man will fight to build a world where Humans & Humagers can coexist and smile together, as Kamen Rider Zero-One!

The Reiwa Era has begun with the first fantastic release from Kamen Rider Zero-One! I must say that Rising Hopper is an excellent design that’s translated to figure form rather perfectly. Exuding personality and functionality, Zero-One really has knocked it out of the park with it’s first release. While this figure isn’t armed with much aside from additional hands (his weapons comes with Vulcan) it’s undeniable how stylish and realistic this figure looks in person. And of course there’s that added bonus of black light reactive parts to drool over!

We’ve assembled 60+ images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Rising Hopper for your viewing pleasure. You can view the entire gallery and read through our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we have the formula for another great gallery with Build Tank Tank Form!

“We’re the Power Rangers!”

When 5 teenagers with attitude were chosen to defend the Earth, each of them was given access to a universe of power. Transported to the Command Center, and introduced to the quirky robot Alpha 5 & the inter-dimensional being Zordon of Eltar, these young heroes were bestowed with the strength of the ancient dinosaurs. Fearless and agile, Trini Kwan was honored with the powers of the mighty Saber-Toothed Tiger Dino Zord! Power Daggers in hand, Trini joined her teammates as they battled the likes of Goldar, Scorpina, and the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa!

Hasbro continues checking off the list of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with another Lightning Collection release! The Mighty Morphin Yellow Ranger joins a slew of her teammates in various forms rounding out Wave 4 of the series as well. Joining the likes of Zeo Ranger III Blue, the Cyber Villain Blaze, & the SPD Red Ranger. So how does Trini Kwan stack up to the rest of the original team? Well she includes the now standard unmasked head, doubles up on effect parts, has both her Power Daggers, and a Blade Blaster! Read on, to our full thread for an in-depth review of this figure.

Now that Wave 4 is out of the way and we’re still on the hunt for Wave 5, we’re taking a turn back into Kamen Rider with a run of galleries from Build, Zi-O, & Zero-One!

“Zeo Ranger Three – Blue!”

Rocky DeSantos was a Power Ranger. And not just any ranger, but the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger! Inheriting a legacy of power from Jason Lee Scott, Rocky helped defend Angel Grove and the world from the likes of Lord Zedd & Rita Repulsa. But as the Machine Empire descended toward Earth, the Command Center lay in ruins. And the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, were destroyed. But unknown to our heroes, Alpha 5 & Zordon have spent years preparing for this time. A day when the Power Rangers as we know them, are gone forever, and a new fighting force must take their place. The Power Rangers Zeo! Imbued with the energy of the Blue Zeo Crystal, Rocky once again heeds the call to defend Earth, but this time as Zeo Ranger III, BLUE!

The Blue Zeo Ranger is the 2nd Power Rangers Zeo entry in Hasbro’s Lightning Collection lineup, soon to be following by a second outing of the Gold Ranger as Trey of Triforia. Rocky utilizes the same base mold as the Gold Ranger save for some accent changes. A solidly built figure, the Blue Ranger release also includes the Zeo Laser Pistol, the Zeo Power Pod Sword, an effect part for it, 2 extra hands, and an unmasked Rocky head. All in all a pretty great release, though it does have a few design caveats to dive into.
