It’s time for another episode of the Talkin Toku Podcast! After a brief, unplanned hiatus, Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom are back to discuss all things tokusatsu!

The boys start the show off by discussing the revelations of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger and quickly morph themselves in to a deep conversation about Ressha Sentai ToQGer and whether or not TeiOh (the final mech from the show and toy line) is the final culmination of everything wrong with the show and the toy line.

The boys then discuss the Tamashii Nations Event – the things they can’t wait for, the things they were surprised to see, their favorite toku and non-toku item of the show. Can you guess before you listen which item each host is eagerly anticipating? We bet you can’t!

Jordan and Tom discuss everything Kamen Rider Drive from the premiere to current while Chris disappears to eat dinner. Do they like the show? Dislike the show? Does it compare to Kamen Rider Gaim? Should it even be compared? Listen in and find out!

On to a serious topic – the revelation of the USA edition of the Tamashii Web Shop, meaning items only available from middlemen in the past may be ordered direct on the US side from the shop. If it comes to that, what does that mean for Bluefin Tamashii Nations? The guys get in to a very deep conversation about Bluefin Tamashii Nations, Bluefin Distro Group, Bandai Japan, Bandai of America, and even bring in the world of Transformers to make their case for the conversation. If you’ve ever had an interest in some of the inside workings of why certain toys are released or why their colors don’t match up to their source material, listen to this segment!

The show ends with the guys discussing what’s coming next for TokuNation.com as well as some Halloween moments as Chris and Tom dressed up as Power Rangers for the festivities. We also announce our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway – you don’t want to miss this year’s stuff!!

TokuNation.com is pleased to announce that we will be in attendance to cover this year’s show to bring you all the tokusatsu news from Bandai of America and Bluefin Tamashii Nations!

So can we expect the update on the Ranger Keys, Power Rangers Dino Charge in package shots, and maybe Legacy Mighty Morphin Movie Figures? We don’t know for sure – but with Power Rangers Dino Charge figures rumored to release in literally under two months (right at Thanksgiving like with Megaforce and Super Megaforce), we’re expecting to see some cool stuff!

While we were at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, we were amazed at the amount of attention, and just how amazing, the Gundam displays were getting at the Bluefin Distribution booth. So while this is totally not tokusatsu, we know there’s a lot of fans of Gundam and Gunpla out there, so we took over 100 images of what they had on display, prettied up the images a bit, and now want to share them with you.

Click the title bar to see all 100 plus images and join in the discussion thread if you’re a Gundam fan. And if you guys love it enough, who knows, maybe it’s something we’ll feature more often on our front page. Special thanks to Bluefin for creating such an awesome display and for drawing the crowds to look at all the beautiful ‘robits’!

If you’re headed to San Diego Comic Con 2014, be sure to stop by the Bluefin Tamashii Nations booth #3545. When you make a purchase, they will include, while supplies last, a free Uchiwa (Japanese styled fan). They have five different versions that they will be including free with your purchases (one for each day), and the first one revealed is a S.H. Figuarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers themed one.

Be sure that your purchase is none other than their exclusive S.H. Figuarts Mighty Morphin Armored Black Ranger figure (and maybe that animation colored Vegeta too!).

They teased. They toyed with our emotions. For a couple of years now, Bluefin Tamashii Nations have teased us that they could do a Lord Zedd figure, either as a S.H. Figuarts or a FiguartsZERO. After teasing us that they could, they teased that they had something they were working on. But then time passed by. Over a year after teasing that something was in the works, at Anime Expo this past weekend, they finally delivered on their tease. During a panel regarding current and upcoming projects, a blurry image of Lord Zedd with his iconic throne was shown with the tag FiguartsZERO.

It would appear that all that waiting has finally paid off. After showing the blurry image, they later announced on their Facebook page that everything shown at the panel would most likely be shown in person at this year’s upcoming San Diego Comic Con. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered there (our full coverage begins Tuesday, July 22nd … or basically just about 2 weeks away). Here’s a run down on the news from the panel that pertains to Power Rangers!

  • FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd – more details to come, could be shown at SDCC 2014
  • S.H. Figuarts of other Power Rangers teams – they stated that Bandai doesn’t think there’s currently a series that has an overwhelming demand.  They want to see an overwhelming demand for a series before they could begin working on it.  They’ve asked that we please spam their Facebook page with requests for one of three series – Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers In Space, or Power Rangers Time Force.  Doing so will show Bandai that there’s an overwhelming demand and they can move forward.

This is apparently the year of Lord Zedd!  First he gets a Legacy figure, and now he is apparently getting a FiguartsZERO as well. So let’s talk about it #RangerNation! Is a FiguartsZERO Lord Zedd a must-buy for you? Is it a wait and see? Join in the discussion!
