Gaoranger Dub “Power Rangers Jungle Force” returns to South Korea

Posted on December 5, 2019 at 9:19 am by Den-O under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

UPDATE 8:45 PM EST – Toys are not being reissued as a part of the show coming back to South Korea.

In a pretty odd turn of events, South Korea is set to see it’s third out with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger in 2020! This news comes straight from Yong San Power Rangers event, which you can see a video of HERE from youtube channel [림호]Tokusatsu. Gaoranger, like many sentai, has a bit of an odd history in South Korea. Super Sentai had been imported to the country since 1989 with Flashman. However in 1994, the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was imported and dubbed in Korean as “Invincible Power Rangers”.

The trend of Power Rangers being imported and dubbed continued until 2003 when Power Rangers Wild Force was brought in as “Power Force Rangers”. After this point Super Sentai was directly imported and dubbed again. Jump to 2010 and Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger was at last imported in it’s original form and dubbed over as “Power Rangers Jungle Force”, in lieu of airing Shinkenger, which at the time was seen as too Japanese for the Korean market. Now, it looks as though South Korea will once again be seeing Gaoranger next year in it’s Jungle Force dub, set to stream on the Korean Power Rangers youtube channel!

Power Rangers Dino Force Brave DX Brave Tyranno King Video Review

Posted on March 19, 2017 at 12:25 pm by ZeoRangerV under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

As we edge ever closer to the release of Power Rangers Dino Force Brave in South Korea the first Youtube review of its unique mecha has surfaced! 쿠라 KOORA brings us a look at the DX Brave Tyranno King toy (which will be renamed Kyoryuzin Brave in Japan). The mecha is a remould of the previously released DX Kyoryuzin, sporting a new colourscheme alongside new weapons for all three components. The video review also features a look at the toy’s electronics, which may be changed for the Japanese release.

Power Rangers Dino Force Brave will be released in South Korea on 1st April, with the Japanese equivalent Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Brave following on 14th April!

P-Bandai Teases DX Kyoryujin Brave Release!

Posted on March 17, 2017 at 12:08 am by Kiryu under Super Sentai

If you’ve been keeping up with our Power Rangers Dino Force Brave coverage, and have been clamouring for some of the toys that have been announced then we got good news for you.

It looks like P-Bandai will be picking up a few of these toys for the Japanese market with a teaser picture of that new sweet  Kyoryujin whom we now know is called Kyoryujin Brave, and the DX toy of this mecha appears to be the first to be imported over for this new toy line.

At the moment, we don’t have a whole lot of information to go on P-Bandai has yet to announce a price, release date, or if Kyoryujin Brave is the only toy that they’ll be bringing over. Though it seems that we’ll be getting more info on this release March 22nd 2017, so stay tuned and we’ll bring more info as it becomes avalaible.

Power Rangers Dino Force Brave Press Conference Photos Online!

Posted on March 2, 2017 at 12:32 pm by Kiryu under Super Sentai

BRAVE IN!

A little while ago, we learned that Korea will be producing it’s own adaptation of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger under the Power Rangers Dino Force Brave name.

Since the announcement, a plethora of photos from a recently held  press conference have been released online, where we get to see most of the Korean actors for the show in costume.

Along with that, we also get photos of the toy line. While most appear to be just straight repaints of their respective Kyoryuger toys with a few modified pieces, though a new DX Kyoryujin set was shown along with two new Zyudenryu.

Power Rangers Dino Force Brave is set to air beginning of April and will run for 12 episodes.

UPDATE:

Footage of the show’s been posted online via Twitter thanks to some video recordings from the press conference, you can view that video by making the jump here

In addition, an article by tokusatsunetwork.com reveals the cast will be comprised of various K-Pop singers  along with  Koichi Sakamoto himself will be involved with the project, each episode will have a run time of 12-15 minutes.

Gaoranger DX Silver Chrome Gao Gorilla Gallery

Posted on April 26, 2016 at 10:33 pm by Den-O under Super Sentai

Hyakujuu Gattai!

On occasion TokuNation has the opportunity to share galleries of rare items that aren’t often seen in the toku collecting communities of the world, and today is no different. For your viewing pleasure we’ve assembled a gallery of a rarity from Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, the gorgeous DX Silver Chrome Gao Gorilla!

Silver Gao Gorilla was a promotional release from 2003, 2 years after Gaoranger ran in Japan, & distributed exclusively by Bandai Asia/Hong Kong. It wasn’t an item regularly available for retail sale. Numerous sentai release in varying chrome colors have made their way to market in this nature over the last 2 decades. This rare piece pops up for sale on occasion but is still notoriously hard to find. The 4th of 5 versions of the Gao Gorilla Power Animal mold, Silver Gao Gorilla will add some serious bling to your collection, and especially to your Gao Muscle or Gao Knight display!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can check out over 30 which await you in the full gallery/review thread. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all.

DX Gold ToQoh Sighted in Korea/Hong Kong

Posted on April 20, 2016 at 11:22 am by Kiryu under Super Sentai

RESSHA GATTAI!

Ressha Sentai ToQger’s begun airing in Korea under the Power Rangers Train Force name, and a it seems that a rather peculiar item’s been spotted with a gold colored DX ToQoh having seen in the wilds.

At the same time, the same product’s been spotted in Hong Kong where they’re also airing dubbed ToQger as a Toys R Us exclusive item. For those of us overseas, the DX Gold ToQoh’s occasionally been spotted on Ebay for varying prices. Hopefully, with this item being released in Hong Kong it will become more widlely avalaible.

Gaoranger DX Bonus Gaollery Gao Hunter Silver Chrome Edition

Posted on December 1, 2013 at 1:18 pm by Den-O under Super Sentai

The wild ride is over, Power Rangers Wild Force/Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger month has come to an end with this final Gallery! And today we’re taking a look at a very special release, DX Gao Hutner Silver Chrome edition! This promo set was only available in mainland Asia as a part of a special giveaway. It swaps nearly all plastic colors for silver chrome aside from some key points which feature flat grey plastic instead. These releases were not packaged in a complete boxed set like normal Gao Hunter but were instead released only in individual boxes.

It should be noted that while released in mainland Asia in Gaoranger packaging this set is actually based on the Korean release of the figure. And Korean Gaoranger DX’s are actually made from an entirely separate 2nd production run made specifically for release in that region. As a result diecast parts were removed in most cases and the plastics were of a significantly lower quality. However this set still features diecast shoulders. And it also has nylon strands under Gaolligator’s front legs that are present in the US release which secure them if they come off their hinges. Making this set is a bit of a frankenstein’s monster. As may be evident in the photos, reflective chrome is hard to photograph properly :p

So thanks so much for sticking with us throughout this long month of tributes and photos! Next month we close the year with Power Rangers Megaforce & Super Megaforce! To celebrate we’re going to be bringing you complete galleries of the entire DX line from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

Kamen Rider Fourze Coming to South Korea – Show, Toys, and Go-Buster Toys

Posted on June 13, 2013 at 7:16 am by Toku Chris under Kamen Rider

We reported just a few days ago that South Korea would be getting Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters as Power Rangers Go-Bursters. Now thanks to TokuNation.com member shikishima we have some more details to share along with the fact that Kamen Rider Fourze will also be airing alongside Power Rangers Go-Bursters in South Korea!

Daewon Media, a South Korean company that specializes in cultural content, is responsible for bringing over Power Rangers Go-Bursters and Kamen Rider Fourze to that country. Along with the shows will be imported toys, action figures, and accessories for both shows to the South Korean market.

If you missed your chance at getting some of the swag from these series when they were airing in Japan, this is now your chance!

A big special thanks to TokuNation.com member shikishama for this news!
