Toku Toy Box: Power Rangers Lightning Collection Dino Thunder White Ranger

Posted on December 11, 2020 at 1:10 pm by Den-O under Contests and Giveaways, Network News and Updates, Power Rangers, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“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.

Toku Toy Box: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole Phase 4 Gallery

Posted on December 9, 2020 at 10:47 am by Den-O under Contests and Giveaways, Kamen Rider, Network News and Updates, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“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.

Toku Toy Box: S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ankh Gallery

Posted on December 7, 2020 at 10:49 am by Den-O under Contests and Giveaways, Kamen Rider, Network News and Updates, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“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.

Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ankh 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.

Toku Toy Box: Power Rangers Lightning Collection Zeo Ranger V Red Gallery

Posted on December 5, 2020 at 3:23 pm by Den-O under Contests and Giveaways, Network News and Updates, Power Rangers, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“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.

Toku Toy Box: S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One Gallery

Posted on December 3, 2020 at 11:02 am by Den-O under Contests and Giveaways, Kamen Rider, Network News and Updates, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“This Zero-One Driver’s different from the usual one.”

In one world the life of the average human has been made better by Hide Intelligence’s Humagears. When their founder, Korenosuke Hiden, passed away the responsibilities of president passed on to his grandson, Aruto. Authorized to use the Progrise Keys & Zero-One Driver, he fought to build a world where Humans & Humagers could coexist, as Kamen Rider Zero-One! But in another world, where Humagears exterminate humans, Aruto is on the run. His company lost, his driver taken, teaming up with Kamen Rider Zi-O, and relying on a Forceriser given to him by a mysterious stranger, Aruto fights to bring his world back and begin a new generation of heroes as Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One!

Zero Zero-One is Aruto’s movie exclusive form from Reiwa: The First Generation. The S.H. Figuart of this design is much like the actual suit, an amalgam of parts from multiple characters. Zero Zero-One features a mix of body parts from Kamen Rider Horobi, as well as a surprising number of parts carried over or slightly remolded from Build villain Night Rogue and vis various remolds, all while featuring a brand new Zero-One head sculpt. And while this release doesn’t come with much, only a few pairs of hands, it’s a striking design that’s sure to accent your ever growing Zero-One Figuarts collection.

Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Zero-One 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.

Toku Toy Box: Power Rangers Lightning Collection Zeo Gold Ranger Gallery

Posted on December 1, 2020 at 2:52 pm by Den-O under Contests and Giveaways, Network News and Updates, Power Rangers, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“It’s time for a Gold Rush!”

Courage, Wisdom, & Heart. Travelling to Earth in the mighty Pyramidas, Trey of Triforia carried with him the awesome powers of the Zeo Gold Ranger! Aiding the Power Rangers whenever a new threat appeared, the Gold Ranger rushed onto the battlefield. And although Trey had to pass his powers to Jason Lee Scott for a time, this golden hero is tough to defeat. After helping the rangers to defeat the Machine Empire once and for all, Trey remained an ally of Earth for years to come in the battles against both the Alliance of Evil and the Armada. After all, once a ranger, always a ranger.

Quick as lightning, strong as steel, this galler is for real! We kick off Toku Toy Box season this year with our gallery of the Power Rangers Lightning Collection Zeo Gold Ranger! This release marks the figure’s debut in the retail line after previously being exclusive to the SDCC 2019 2-pack with the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger. And this release of the mold is also as the original user of the powers, Trey of Triforia. So of course this retail release includes a new unmasked head for Trey, but it also includes a new version of the Golden Power Staff as well as a recolor of the energy effect included with the last release. But are there more differences between these two Gold Rangers? You’ll have to read the full review to find out!

Power Rangers Lightning Collection SPD Omega Ranger Gallery

Posted on September 27, 2020 at 10:10 am by Den-O under Power Rangers, Super Sentai, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“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.

Check out the full 70 image gallery & review after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we’re getting morphinominal with a classic hero in our gallery of the Lightning Collection Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai Gallery

Posted on September 19, 2020 at 8:46 am by Den-O under Kamen Rider, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“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?

Check out the full 60+ image gallery & review after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’re heading back to the year 2025 for our review of a powerful 2-pack, the SPD Omega Ranger & Uniforce Cycle from Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection!

Power Rangers Lightning Collection Ranger Slayer Gallery

Posted on September 3, 2020 at 8:36 pm by Den-O under Power Rangers, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights

“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!
