The official reveal of the 39th Super Sentai Series occurs this weekend in Japan! We now have some remarkable new details about the story and production in this new series. With thanks to The Tokusatsu Network for translations-

*Series producer Naomi Takebe states the series will focus on anything fun and include some extensive new stuntwork. TV-Asahi producer Chihiro Inoue suggests that Ninninger will contain several reworks of established Sentai formula in order to create heroes that all viewers will cheer for.

*Long-time special effects director Hiroshi Wakita was responsible for the main Mecha, ShuriKenJin. Wakita suggested combining every major gimmick into a single series because he had grown bored with recent themes.

In addition we learned several new details about the new villain group in this series!

*The Kiba Oni Army seek to restore their greatest general, Gangetsu. To accomplish this, the Army must gather the power of fear from humans.

*The Army create Yokai by attaching 1 of their 48 magical artifacts known as Sealing Shurikens to everyday objects, mutating them into monsters.

Last but certainly not least we received several new images of Ninninger merchandise- including the Shinobi, the Shurikens and ShuriKenJin!

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger premieres on February 15 2015! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ninja antics!

With all the recent news of Kamen Rider Gaim getting more and more releases (bring on those S.H. Figuarts!), we’re happy to bring you a video review of the recently released DX Yomotsuheguri Lock Seed, which was used by Kamen Rider Ryugen as a last resort to try and defeat who he believed was his arch-nemesis. With that version of the character having been released now in Arms Change format, and announced yesterday to be receiving a S.H. Figuarts release, whet your thirst for some hell fruit with what is quite possibly the highest quality and most professional looking video review you will see.

Please be warned – if you haven’t seen Kamen Rider Gaim, or you haven’t finished watching the series, this video CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! Well, technically the toy does, but you get the idea. Check it out!

Please be sure to support our buddy ZeronXepher by subscribing to his YouTube channel. He also does Patreon, a fan-funded service – if you like what you see help him out to keep these amazing quality videos coming!

Thanks to the latest round of magazine scans now online we have a quick look at some future Super Imaginative Chogokin releases!

We now have some concept art for SIC designs based on the tokusatsu hero Kikaider and his enemy, the evil Hakaider! Sadly, no details relating to price or release dates are available at this time.

In addition we have a closer look at SIC Kamen Rider Birth and his backup Rider, Proto-Birth. Previous teaser images suggested that Birth’s release would merely be a ZERO-type (meaning no articulation) but this recent image shows Birth’s armor & weapons- which may imply a fully functional release.

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on these exciting new releases!

When you have a merchandise behemoth like Kamen Rider Gaim you do everything you can to keep releasing product. Bandai Japan has that figured out with the upcoming Blu Ray DVD release of Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Zangetsu & Kamen Rider Baron which features the two popular Riders in a short spin-off story from the original story line from Kamen Rider Gaim. As we reported earlier regarding the upcoming release of the DX Taboo Lock Seed, this new DX Prototype Suika Lock Seed will release as a Premium Bandai exclusive in May of 2015 with pre-orders opening January 30th, 2015.

The plot of this story has Kamen Rider Zangetsu using a prototype version of the Suika Lock Seed in a battle against an all new foe. The DX Suika Lock Seed also comes with a new face plate for your Sengoku Driver featuring the red-hued Kamen Rider Zangetsu which will be seen in Gaim Gaiden as he uses his prototype Suika Arms!

Special thanks to the Tokusatsu Network for the image and the information.

As we work towards one solution
Through a spirit evolution

It’s the end of 2014 and the start of 2015 and Talkin Toku is ringing in the New Year the way they do best – by being late to it! Join Kickback aka Chris, Den-O aka Jordan and Sentai Tamashii aka Tom as they spend 2 horribly long hours reflecting on 2014 and looking ahead to 2015!

Before the reflection begins – it’s time to talk current Toku! Join in the discussion of their continued thoughts as more and more of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is revealed! And the question everyone has on their minds … has Tom even seen the trailers for the damn show?! We also take a look at the extended Power Rangers Dino Charge (and discover if Tom has watched that trailer too).

Then we reflect on 2014. What was the Best Toku Toy of 2014? And the Worst Toku Toy of 2014? Reflecting on the year of news itself, What was the biggest Toku news of 2014? And the question that no one is going to accurately guess the answer to … our opinion on Which of the 3 Toku shows (Power Rangers Super Megaforce, Kamen Rider Gaim, and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger) had the best ending? We also take a moment to read YOUR answers to those questions – thanks to everyone who submitted their thoughts/opinions/answers!

And by popular demand … the return of Toku Company’s New Year’s Resolutions for 2015 … what we think Bandai of America, Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Tamashii Nations, Bandai Japan, Saban Brands Entertainment, and Shout! Factory should have for New Year’s Resolutions!

Join us in this end of the year celebration as we celebrate a staggering average of 1.25 episodes a month and promise to do better in 2015!

A leaked image has given us a close (albeit blurry) look at the mecha for 39th Super Sentai, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!

This shot of DX Shurikenjin shows all five individual mecha- Shinobimaru, Dragonmaru, Danpumaru, Wanmaru and Byunmaru. Interestingly, the combined form appears to have multiple configurations- according to existing rumors, any one of the five Maru can become the centerpiece for the combination and Shurikenjin will have different abilities or forms based on the central component.

What this image does confirm are the Dog, Dump, & Train components initially reported exclusively here at TokuNation!
