Lion Henge!

We’re back with yet another fired up gallery & review from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! This time we take a look at the massive Sky Otomonin himself, DX Lion Ha Oh!

Unusually for a toy of it’s nature, Lion Ha Oh is not the final toy to be released in this line as we still have the 6-piece Gekiatsu Dai Oh coming up. However Lion Ha Oh still falls into the category of the big but largely hollow Q3/Q4 releases with multiple forms:

  • Lion Ha Ojo– the rolling castle/tank
  • Lion Ha Oh– the unique robot mode form
  • Ha Oh Shurkenjin– A massive combination that incorporates all the primary components of DX Shurikenjin & Bison King

Included for use with any of these 3 forms is also a fun little Chouzetsu Akaninger figure that’s roughly the size of a Bandai America Ranger Key. We’ve got some comparisons with other similarly sized figures as well. Lion Ha Oh itself is larger though, so large that size comparisons really don’t do it justice. Scroll through our gallery to check out how it dwarfs and absorbs DX Shurikenjin.

Ultimately DX Lion Ha Oh will be the make or break figure in the line for many collectors simply due to it’s shear size & cost, but we welcome you to check out our complete 60+ image gallery to make that decision for yourself! Wasshoi!

Wasshoi!

At long last TokuNation is fired up to present this latest gallery! A recent Bandai Premium release from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, today we take an extensive look at the Super Sentai Artisan Chogokin Shinobimaru!

Chogokin Shinobimaru is Bandai Premium’s first entirely new figure for Ninninger, soon to be followed up by Rodeomaru & Chouzetsu Akaninger. More than a simple DX with metal parts like last years’ Chogokin ToQ Oh, Shinobimaru is an entirely new super articulated diecast infused action figure meant to replace the DX that came with Shurikenjin. While it may be lacking a bit in the accessories department (a small shoulder mounted Akaninger) it more than makes up for this with excellent articulation, strong QC, and just the perfect amount of metal to give this little guy some heft.

Make no mistake when we say extensive either, we’ve put together 70 images of Super Sentai Artisan Chogokin Shinobimaru for your viewing pleasure! We’ve even included a comparison between Shinobimaru and the classic release Soul of Chogokin Battle Fever Robo, the predecessor to all modern Sentai Chogokins. Attached to this post are just a small selection of the images, to view them all click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

Washoi! The dinosaur Otomonin joins the fray in this years theatrical film Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll. And not to be left out on the toy side of the things, a special “EX” release has just hit retail for this new ally to the Ninningers with DX Dinomaru!

EX DX Dinomaru is a pretty wild toy. From the ground up this figure is a remold & repaint of the previously released DX Paonmaru, bet you never thought Bandai could get an elephant and a T-Rex out of the same like that? Sharing much of the same transformation as his mold mate, Dinomaru still manages to be new and creative, bringing his own charm to combining with Shurkenjin to form Shurikenjin Dino!

Before you check out our complete gallery be sure to check out the video below to see a full review of EX DX Dinomaru from friend & site contributor baltmatrix!

After checking out the above video be sure to view our full 60 image gallery of DX Dinomaru by simply clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forum” at the bottom of this post! And be sure to take a moment to get up to date on our previous Ninninger DX galleries:

A few months ago when Artisan Rodeomaru went up for order via Premium Bandai, we were also given a tease of an Artisan release for Chouzetsu Akaninger. Not only do we now know this figure is a pack-in bonus with Artisan Rodeomaru, but we also have official images!

Artisan Chouzetsu Akaninger stands 65mm tall (about 2.5 inches) compared to Rodeo & Shinobimarus’ roughly 125 mm. So he’s quite tiny. But this fully articulated mini-figure serves as a high end replacement for your DX Akaninger included with Lion Ha Oh. The figure includes just 3 accessories as well. The Ninja Ichibantou, and what appear to be a couple of panels that currently serve an unknown purpose. Perhaps they facilitate his combination with Lion Ha Oh? We’ll keep you updated as more information on this diminutive new figure comes out!

The set of Rodeomaru & Chouzetsu Akaninger retails for 5994 yen and is currently set for a December release!

In just 1 week this years pairing of summer films, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll & Kamen Rider Drive Surprise Future, will be released in Japanese theaters. As such the related toys for each film are set to be released soon, and new official images have given us the best look yet at them.

For Ninninger we have DX Otomonin EX Dinomaru. This remold of Paonmaru is of course the movie exclusive mecha for this year in the same vein as Safari Ga Oh, Tobaspino, FS0O Frog, and a host of other toys. This figure will be released on August 8th to coincide with the film and retails for 4104 yen.

For Kamen Rider Drive we have a bit of a surprise! Not only will this years movie henshin device set include those used by Drive in the film, the DX Shift Next/Special Car & Tridoron Key, but a third item is also in the mix. And it’s the DX Newton Eyecon from Kamen Rider Ghost! This set will be released a bit later this month, August 29th, for 2160  yen.

Surfin’ Washoi!

We’re back with  another review of a recent addition to Shuriken Sentai Ninninger’s bizarre toyline! This time we’re taking a look at the ally of the seas, DX Otomonin Surfermaru!

DX Surfermaru is the last of the regular “upgrade” Otomonin aside from the Movie exclusive Dinomaru & the massive new mecha Lion Ha Oh. And while each toy in this line has been unique in it’s own right, Surfermaru is kind of bizarre. A robot that can ride a wheeled surf board or transform into a submarine form with a shark like face. It’s interesting to say the least. Possible combinations to be made with this toy are Shurikenjin Surfer & Bison King Surfer. It should also be noted that so far, Surfermaru is the only extra otomonin documented to have intentional functionality with Bison King.

We’ve got 60 images of DX Surfermaru in the full gallery (with review) which can be viewed by clicking the link at the bottom of this article. Next time for Ninninger we take a look at DX Lion Ha Oh!

In addition the Kamen Rider Ghost & Kamen Rider Drive August magazine scans that have popped up, we have a round of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger images as well! The following images reveal a few new details for the upcoming August airing episodes of the series.

First off we see the introduction of 3 brand new Great Yokai, but these aren’t the typical enemies of the Ninningers. These are the Great Western Yokai! Summoned by Ariake No Kata these three hail from America & Europe. Each of them is themed after a classic monster and are named in that fashion; Werewolf, Dracula, & Franken. Werewolf seems to be the final piece of the puzzle as to what happened to Starninger’s family.

And on the topic of Kinji it appears that another user of the Chouzetsu Changer has proven himself. In the comings months we’ll be treated to Chouzetsu Starninger! Details of Kinji’s new transformation have yet to be revealed but we’ll keep you up to date as we find out more about these upcoming episodes!
