“The man who will rule the world… must walk the path of American availability.”
Bluefin Distributing has picked up the much-hyped Kamen Rider Kabuto Renewal– an excellent opportunity for Western buyers and a great way to demonstrate the new Figuarts body-type!
Renewal Kabuto will be available in April 2014 for 50.99 USD
You know the drill by now right? Well of course! It’s Power Rangers Wild Force month at Tokunation! And as we begin to round out our little series of “Gaolleries” we take a look at a very special release from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!
DX Black Gao King is a special repaint of the standard Gao King set done up in, you guessed it, black/silver, packed in a black/white version of the normal Gao King box. The set has a nice sleek uniform color scheme that’s very pleasing to the eye. Though if you already have a normal Gao King this may not be a set you’d want to double up with. The Black Gao Elephant released with the TRU Gao Knight set[/URL] is also a perfect addition to this set allowing you to make a full on Black Gao King Sword & Shield!
Of course this set is part of a long long tradition of black repaints not only for sentai, but for mecha shows in general. The first black edition sentai robo being the Black Daizyujin later altered for release in the US as the Black MMPR Megazord.

GABURINCHO! A release this month that everybody is excited about is the DX Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Kamitsuki Gattai Kyoryujin Dark Version, a fusion of the 3 dark versions of Gabutyra, Stegochi and Dricera!
Youtube user wotakufighter/ヲタファ has put up a review of the dark dinos! Watch it here! (Although he doesn’t demo the 3 Deboss Batteries, he does demo the unique Sentai battery that was part of this release.)
Tokunation’s month long celebration of Power Rangers Wild Forceis about to come to a close! With only a few galleries left today we take a look at the Toys R Us Japan exclusive DX Gao Knight set from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!
At the heart of Gao Knight is a Power Animal exclusive to the Gaoranger film, The Fire Mountain Roars, Gao Kong! Kong is a repaint and slight remold of Gao Gorilla with a new combined mode face plate. The same accessories are included however down to the Anchor Chain and Gao Jewel figure, though the Gorilla or Kong rather is cast in Gold now.
You may ask what makes the TRU set so exclusive? Well a proper Gao Knight requires the standard blue Gao Elephant. This one is special because it includes a Black Gao Elehpant for use with the separately released Black Gao King. This is an exquisite set that shows just how far some extra paint apps and a remold can go. Kong itself was released individually before this set, hence the added bonus of this set including Black Gao Elephant.

Kamen Rider Gaim continues to pump out merchandise, and according to an article that we reported on earlier it would appear that the toy line is selling incredibly well.

I have my Pine Arms and Ichigo Arms on order – do you? Discuss these awesome additions to the Arms Change toy line in our discussion!
According to the Rising Sun Tokusatsu blog Kamen Rider Gaim is showing remarkable sales figures for a brand-new show and is on track to become the best financially-performing Rider series.
Currently “Kamen Rider OOO” holds the record for greatest sales but Gaim may well break the previous numbers. Sadly, it seems the ratings for Gaim are still low- continuing a downward trend in tokusatsu programming in recent years.
Are you contributing to this success? Then be sure to join in our Gaim Toy Discussion :D
It should be no surprise at this point that the staff here at TokuNation.com is in love with everything that is Kamen Rider Gaim – from the show to the merchandise, we just think it’s one of the greatest things to happen in years!
The Arms Change series of figures for Kamen Rider Gaim have an amazing play-feature included that has the giant fruit that falls from the sky able to fold down as armor on the Kamen Riders!
We’ve partnered with baltmatrix to bring you some of the best video reviews of toku-related product out there! And he managed (before I did, I might add!) to get his hands on Arms Change 03 Ryugen and did a video review! Check it out below!
