Paon! Paon! Paon! Wasshoi!

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is moving right along in both show & toyline. The first release in the DX Otomonin series for Ninninger recently hit Japanese retail and we’ve finally gotten our copy in hand for review. Today we’re taking a look at DX Paonmaru!

Paonmaru made it’s first appearance a matter of weeks ago on Ninninger and as the name implies Paonmaru is an elephant. It came to the aid of the Ninningers as the first of the restored Sealing Shurikens. Not only does it have a role as a beast, but it can also be reconfigured into a small robot formation that’s very similar to Shinobimaru at a basic level. Though Paonmaru has a bit more bulk to it. The real star of the show however is this machine’s combination with Shurikenjin, Shurikenjin Paon! Wielding the Paon Axes Shurikenjin Paon benefits from the inherently awesome articulation of the primary figure.

Check out over 50 images as well as a full review of this wonderful new addition to the toyline of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger after the jump! We’ll be back later this week with our look at DX UFOmaru!

New listings for Shuriken Sentai Ninningers’ April episodes have come online. The most interesting one listed is the 7th episode, currently scheduled to air April 12, 2015:

Emissaries From the Past
Summary: Tsumuji (Takaharu and Fuka’s father) brings in Ninja Red and Hurricane Red to teach the Ninningers.

Three generations of Ninja Sentai united! And as a side note, if the 39th Super Sentai premiere had not been delayed by tragic circumstances, this episode would instead be airing on April 5th 2015– exactly forty years to the day when the Super Sentai franchise began with Himitsu Sentai GoRanger.

At the time no other details about this apparent crossover are known. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ninja news!

Youtube reviewer wotakufighter has put up a new review looking at the latest item in the Shuriken Sentai Ninningers’ arsenal- DX UFOMaru!

UFOMaru is the second Otomo Shinobu released in this series, a flying saucer capable of combining with DX ShurikenJin and granting even more fantastic abilities.

The DX UFOMaru is priced at 3024 Yen and should be available from all major Super Sentai retailers very soon!

Courtesy of youtube user k2eizo we have our first in hand reviews of DX Paonmaru & the DX Karakurihengen from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!

DX Paonmaru will be the first in a series of Otomo Shinobu upgrades for DX Shurikenjin. The mecha itself is set to premiere in tomorrow’s episode of Ninninger! The DX Karakurihengen is the all purpose 3 moded Shuriken weapon that each of the 5 main Ninningers can use as either a Blade, Bow or Claw depending on the users preference!

Our gallery is now live for the first release in the Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Ninnin Action series – #01 Aka Ninger!

This year’s Ninnin Action line is a bit of a line-drawer in the sense that unlike previous years, Bandai Japan is now using the same 5″ figures that Bandai of America has been using the last few years – the super muscular bodies that cause havoc when trying to pose the figures accurately to their actions in the actual show. So how did they do in their first run? Are there any differences that we can tell between these figures and the Bandai of America 5″ figures that you can buy at retail right now? Are the accessories the same unpainted soft plastic that we get on this side of the Pacific Ocean?

Check out the full gallery and review by clicking here and find out. We’ll also let you know whether or not these are worth picking up. But at least now they match your Power Rangers figures, right?

Another new teaser for the upcoming film project Super Hero Taisen GP is now online!

Unlike previous teasers, this one focuses mostly on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger team and offers a quick look at Rider Robo– a giant Mecha controlled by the Kamen Riders and powerful enough to stand against ShurikenJin!

Super Hero Taisen GP premieres in theaters on March 21st!

For now we only have a single image to base this assumption on, but it looks like the Super Hero Taisen GP film may be the second such film primarily about Kamen Riders, to feature Super Sentai!

A new magazine scan for the movie has surfaced showing what appears to be a Kamen Rider Drive Nin Shuriken! Thus implying that Shuriken Sentai Ninninger will indeed appear. On top of this is a silhouetted image of what looks like a new Shinobimaru style robo. One that could very well be the Tridoron given humanoid form!

Time will tell if this pans out but it looks like for now that we may have another special movie combo following in the footsteps of last years ToQ Oh Kyoryuzin featuring Den-Liner!

Bandai Japan has opened an official page for the next Super Sentai Artisan release: a fully-articulate DX Shinobimaru!

The personal Mecha of Shuriken Sentai Ninningers’ Aka Ninger is brilliantly recreated with a superb level of articulation and vastly improved paint details. This release is still perfectly compatible with the DX Shurikenjin Mecha set, already released.

This Artisan item will be open for orders beginning February 27 and ending May 8 with a release scheduled for July 2015. Shinobi Maru will cost 5378 Yen before shipping, handling and related fees.

Shuriken Gattai!

TokuNation is proud to prevent it’s first gallery & review of the year from the latest sentai, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! The 1st item up is none other than DX Shurikenjin!

A quirky combiner DX Shurikenjin is made up of the Otomo Shinobi or Companion Ninja machines; Shinobimaru, Dragomaru, Dumpmaru, Wanmaru, & Byunmaru. With the aid of this toylines Nin Shuriken gimmick these 5 machines can combine to form Shurikenjin! When Shinobimaru sits in the pilot seat this standard form of the mighty robot exists. But swap Shinobimaru out to become a new arm adnd insert Dragonmaru and Shurikenjin Drago is born! This is an all around fantastic set that’s sure to perk up the interest of sentai buyers after last years seemingly lack luster selection.

We’ve assembled over 100 images of this incredible new toy including some images of the 1st run bonus Nin Shurikens included with it! We’ve attached a selection of these images to this post but click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our fully gallery/review thread. Because of the sheer number of images they’ll be split across the first 3 posts of that thread.

Enjoy!
