UFO washoi!

TokuNation returns to the team of ninjas that refuses to hide with Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! And today we’re taking a look at the second release in the Otomonin series of additional mecha, DX UFOmaru!

Apparently the original Otomonin, UFOmaru is the being which all of the Ninninger’s mecha technology is based on. Rather interestingly UFOmaru is also the first and so far only literal UFO based mecha in Super Sentai. We’ve had spaceships in the past but this one takes the cake. An interesting design, UFOmaru can alternate between the traditional “saucer” mode and his own unique robot form that stands tall with Paonmaru & Shinobimaru. When used in place of Shinobimaru, Shurikenjin UFO is formed! Armed with the 3-barrelled UFOmaru Launcher, Shurikenjin UFO succeeds in being another new and unique combination that’s a welcome breath of fresh air.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to see a comprehensive gallery of over 50 images as well as a full review for DX UFOmaru. We’ll see you again in a few weeks for our next ninja themed gallery installment with DX Bison Buggy & Rodeomaru!

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!

With the recent premiere of a new sentai, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, the reviews of the initial waves of merchandise have begun rolling in. We posted our official gallery of this toy earlier in the week, but today our friend and frequent collaborator Baltmatrix has shared his video review of DX Shurikenjin with us!

Check out the above video to see Baltmatrix’s complete review of DX Shurikenjin and be sure to subscribe to his youtube page for future reviews. Balt and I will be teaming up in the coming months to gallery & review as many of the DX Ninninger toys as we can. Also be sure to check the link at the bottom of this post by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums”. This will take you to our extensive photo gallery of DX Shurikenjin featuring over 100 images of this set!

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!

A new round of magazine scans has surfaced online, showing us some upcoming new abilities for the 39th Super Sentai!

Next month, the Ninningers will unlock two new Mecha: PaonMaru the elephant and UFOMaru the flying saucer! Both can combine with ShurikenJin and create brand-new combat styles.

The NinShuriken that unlock these two Mecha can also be used in the Ninningers’ Shinobi Ichibantou for extra powers!

*PaonMaru’s Shuriken grants the Ninningers stretch-arms in combat.
*UFOMaru’s Shuriken makes enemies levitate in midair.

In addition, the scans reveal another member of the Kibaoni that will face the Ninningers: Gabi Raizo!

Definitely looks like many wonderful adventures are coming for this new Ninja team! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ninja news!
