The hosts of Talkin Toku decided to take part in the celebration of tacos in the annual TacoNation day by releasing a brand new episode of the official TokuNation.com podcast – Talkin Toku!

Join in the conversation of all the great taco debates – sour cream or no? Do you get guacamole on your tacos? What type of sauce do you get and which one is better? And finally, the greatest debate of them all … which you’ll have to listen to in order to hear it!

Sit back, relax, have a laugh or two at the expense of tacos as we attempt to talk toku but end up talking tacos!

It’s time for another episode of our official podcast – Talkin Toku! Join your hosts Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom as they embark on the first episode in over a month. Since their last episode, babies have been born, conventions have come and gone, and your favorite shows like Power Rangers Dino Charge, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, and Kamen Rider Drive have all either premiered, continued, or had some interesting developments happen. And that’s where the hosts come in!

What are their initial thoughts on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger? Was it worth sitting through Ressha Sentai ToQGer to get to? And has Power Rangers Dino Charge lived up to the hype since the premiere? And just what the heck is going on with Kamen Rider Drive? They discuss it all – and in one of our favorite twists, the hosts share which show they have the least amount of problems with and knowing our hosts and the history they have with theses franchises, it’ll surprise you for sure.

There’s also toy talk – their thoughts on the DX Shurikenjin mecha from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger as well as Kickback’s thoughts on the roleplay items that he’s purchased. The hosts also discuss their thoughts on the Toys’R’Us listings for the Legacy Blade Blaster and Legacy VIP Dino Chargers Set, as well as what other Legacy items they’d like to see down the road (besides the obvious ones).

And finally – they go off topic and talk Hot Toys, various online stores, and the hobby they left that is slowly sucking them back in – Transformers. Come take a listen and leave your thoughts in the discussion thread by clicking here!

The new year has started and the convention season starts off with a bang with the annual Toy Fair taking place in New York City. For the third year running, TokuNation.com is proud to be one of the first to bring you pictures of all the new and upcoming product for 2015! We’re incredibly excited to share it with you and we give a huge thank you to Bandai of America for giving us such exclusive access to their showroom!

As the pictures come in they will be put up on our front page here at TokuNation.com. But as they come in, Kickback/Chris, along with Den-O/Jordan and trekkieb47/Eric, will be looking through the images as they’re put online and commenting on the cool stuff they see. Last year we revealed the Legacy Titanus and how amazing it looked. Who knows what we’re going to see this year?!

Here’s the live-stream of the live show below! Stay tuned for updates coming within the hour from Toy Fair 2015 and only at TokuNation.com!

under Power Rangers, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates

For over a year, the hosts of Talkin Toku have relentlessly shared their negative opinions towards Power Rangers Megaforce and Power Rangers Super Megaforce. To the point that some in the fan community choose not to listen to us because we refuse to accept anything less than GOOD writing, GOOD acting, and GOOD story-telling. We are labeled as “haters”, and “just more people bashing Power Rangers”. To that we say THANK YOU – we refuse to accept something just because the name is slapped on it, and for the last four years that is exactly what we’ve had – poor story-telling, poor acting (from most, not all), poor direction, poor editing, and poor decisions regarding the television program that we all grew up with as kids.

On Saturday, February 7th, kids across the world will be introduced to Power Rangers Dino Charge, the next iteration of the fabled Power Rangers franchise. Returning to helm the show is fan-favorite executive producer Chip Lynn, who many praised before the first episode was even released. Will his presence be felt? Or is Power Rangers now forever destined to be a mere “Google translate” show of Super Sentai?

Join Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, Sentai Tamashii/Tom, and two very special guests – trekkieb47/Eric and baltmatrix/Matt – as we spend over an hour and a half discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly with Power Rangers Dino Charge. Did it live up to the hype? What are our individual thoughts on the episode and the direction of the franchise with this new series? And most importantly (and most shocking) – what did Den-O/Jordan, best known for his utter disdain for all things Power Rangers, feel about the premiere?

You WILL be surprised!

Before we begin the discussion of Power Rangers Dino Charge the group takes a moment to discuss the elephant in the room and the tragic incident regarding Rick Medina, who played the role of Cole Evans the Red Wild Force Power Ranger as well as Dekker in Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai. The question we ask – does Saban Brands react in any way, and if so, how?

NOTE! This episode was recorded before Rick Medina was released from jail with no charges pressed (at the moment, investigation is on-going).

And maybe most importantly, the Twitter trend from the night of the recording and the focus of our episode picture is revealed (to an extent). See the beginning of how five nerds started a brief trend on Twitter within the Tokusatsu community and how it all came to be. Unfortunately, we weren’t recording when everything really took off – but we saved the pictures and they are now available for you to view.

Also – we read your reactions to the premiere from Twitter!

Brave in!

Leading up to the February 7th TV premiere of Power Rangers Dino Charge, TokuNation has prepared another serving of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger for your viewing pleasure! Continuing our new series of Gallery 2.0’s today we’re bring you S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Blue & Kyoryu Green!

These fantastic figures are based on the equally excellent Kyoryu Red mold, though Kyoryu Blue & Green were released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive 2-pack. Because of this they’ve become a bit harder to find for a decent price and have seen a significant increase in demand. But don’t let that deter you. S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Blue & Green share Kyoryu Red’s excellence in accessory count, sculpt, and articulation. It’s like getting a double dose of fantastic figures loaded down with best accessories they could possibly have. But definitely take a look at this gallery if you need some convincing.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but feel free to peruse 80 images of this two pack by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a nother gallery 2.0 as well, S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Black & Kyoryu Pink!

It’s time for another episode of the official podcast of TokuNation.com – the Talkin Toku Podcast! Join your hosts Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom as they take an in-depth look at last summer’s toku movies – the summer movies of Ressha Sentai ToQGer and Kamen Rider Gaim! Did they like either movie? Did they dislike either movie? The answers you hear may surprise you – even more on who feels what way!

They also talk a little Shuriken Sentai Ninninger at the start of the show and their feelings on the upcoming toy releases. Just like with ToQGer, at least one host isn’t on board with the dump truck dog UFO ninjas – and this time it isn’t Kickback! Who it is will shock you!

Finally – we read YOUR comments from Twitter!

And stay tuned for a very special episode of the Talkin Toku Podcast to be released later this week as the hosts and two special guests join in on a nothing-but-Power Rangers conversation discussing all of our thoughts and feelings on the premiere of Power Rangers Dino Charge!

Until then – check out this episode and relive last summer all over again!

Brave in!

TokuNation has slowly begun the process of going through it’s archive of toy galleries to revamp some of our older work and re-present to the community. This process began with our  Gokai Christmas Gallery 2.0 and today we continue it in honor of the upcoming February 7th premiere of Power Rangers Dino Charg!  It’s time to check out the S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Red Gallery 2.0!

Released way back in October 2013, Kyoryu Red was the first figuart from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, though far from the last. Kyoryu Red began a new era of consistency and detail in sentai figuarts that for the most part has remained consistent since. Daigo, includes a plethora of accessories that really make this release one of the best for 2013 and still one of the best Sentai Figuarts to date. The included Gaburevolver, Gaburicalibur, and even Gabutyra Fang & Zyudenchi allow this figure to really capture the wild flexibility and mannerisms of Kyoryu Red and look fantastic wild doing it.

Frankly S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Red is one of my absolute favorite figures. And it’s still cheap on most secondary market websites! This figure and the remaining Kyoryugers won’t be imported by Bluefin so now’s the time to jump on it before the actual premiere of Power Rangers Dino Charge drives up demand with Western fans. For now though feel free to browse through a full 80 image gallery of this incredible figure after the jump! We’ll be back soon with 3 more Gallery 2.0’s as well focusing on the other 5 Kyoryugers!

Along with those topics we also touch base on new toys, what new toys we’ve recently purchased as well as our thoughts, and a whole lot more. We also read YOUR answers to two of our questions – whether or not having past cast members of Power Rangers for Power Rangers Dino Charge will disappoint you, and if you think the lack of news on the movie is a good or bad thing.

Nininininininininininininini Ninninger!

The crew of Talkin Toku is back yet again with an action packed episode promising to dull your senses and cause you regret! Join Chris “Kickback”, Jordan “Den-O”, and Tom “Sentai Tamashii” for this trip down toku discussion lane!

Did you get your S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms figure yet? We did – and we’re not happy. Listen to us rant about what all three agree is the worst quality controlled product to come out of Tamashii Nations in quite awhile. We also discuss Power Rangers Dino Charge toys – namely the Dino Charge Megazord – and whether or not we think it’s a good toy and what, if anything, it has over it’s predecessor the Legendary Megazord from Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

EXCLUSIVE! Tom fails at being a good administrator at a leading tokusatsu website community. The plus side? You get to hear his reaction to the first image of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger during the podcast. What does he think? This is actually a pretty neat thing because how often does a fan of Super Sentai have their first reaction to the new series recorded? Check it out, it’s a pretty fun listen. We also touch on speculation of the upcoming series including what our thoughts are on possible henshin devices and so forth. And marbles. That’s right – marbles. Tom talks marbles. I can’t make this up if I tried. Just listen.

Power Rangers Dino Charge had the theme song and the smart phone app come out. Does it get the seal of approval from the guys? What about the theme song – what works, what doesn’t work, and does it hold up? Tom gives his $0.02 as he describes his youngest son’s reaction to the theme song.

We also take an in-depth look at the extended episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce as we end our discussion on the series that seems to have divided part of the fandom in terms of “IT SUCKS” versus “IT KIND OF SUCKS”. What parts of the extended episode were good? Which were unnecessary? And was it really as special as we all thought it was? Jordan gives his rundown on why he feels it was a lackluster extended battle, while Chris and him get in to it about one of the more fandom-popular moments of the extended Legendary Battle.

Finally – we talk some Toku Toy Box giveaway as the episode ends. Have you registered on TokuNation.com yet and posted in the eligible threads so you can win? You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, but don’t miss your chance at entering in each qualifying thread!

Enjoy! Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!
