Once again it’s the time of year that the community and our staff love most – time for all of us to celebrate our respective holidays & traditions with the friends and loved ones we hold dear. Though this year things will look quite different on that front, due to the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic. One thing that we can guarantee isn’t changing though, is our annual giveaway Toku Toy Box! Every year at this time TokuNation.com celebrates the wider tokusatsu community as well as itself. On January 4th 2021, we officially mark 9 years since TokuNation first went public as part of the network of  TFW2005.COM, ToyArk.com, HissTank.com and PWRRNGR.com, through the hard work of both network owner Tony_Bacala and our founder and original Editor-In-Chief, TokuChris.

For 9 years now we’ve posted news, rumors, toy galleries, videos, and even dabbled in podcasts for a bit (never forget Talkin Toku!). As times have changed we’ve done our best to change with them, delivering you content in different ways, covering new and exciting topics, trying to improve our social outreach, and covering toylines new and old as they come and go. But the one true constant that’s been with us since our first year, that you can expect every year? The Toku Toy Box giveaway!

Like years’ past, TokuNation is hosting this annual holiday giveaway open to ALL registered users!

Even with a healthy amount of previous releases mixed in, that’s quite the stack of new reveals from the event. There’s a magnificent display of older releases surrounding the entire rider display that essentially adds up to most if not all of the regular Rider releases from the last decade. It’s an impresssive sight to behold and one that we don’t have the time to list out every individual figure for. We’re sure that more will be revealed through out the weekend though so be sure to stick with us for all your updates from Tamashii Nations 2020!

Following up on our reporting from Tamashii Nations 2020 on the display of previously revealed and newly unveiled Ultraman S.H. Figuarts, Bandai has also dropped a couple massive reveals. While these items are currently listed as “Display Only”, we have our very first looks at two new possible additions to the long running Soul of Chogokin line from two Metal Hero series!

First up is the one which began it all, hailing from 1982’s Space Sheriff Gavan is the Electronic Star Beast Dol Dragon and the Giran Saucer! While the prototypes on display do not currently give us a look at the combined Dol Giran mode, we can probably infer the transformation gimmick in such a comprehensive release as an SOC. As is, What we see on display is a magnificent set and gives us a great sense of  scale, hewing very close to the size of the original toys based on the Tamashii Stages they’re displayed on.

And the second surprise reveal is the massive (and transforming!) planetary battleship Daileon from 1985’s Megabeast Investigator Juspion! Continuing the short lived tradition of the transforming Metal hero robo, Daileon changes from battleship to massive mecha. though we have less of a sense of scale for this release, we can see it does appear to included a small scale Juspion figure, as well as a tiny to-scale version of Juspion’s Garvin Tank!

As mentioned neither of these releases has even been confirmed for release yet, so there are no pricing or full accessory breakdowns to be known at this time. These could very well join the long list of prototypes locked away in Bandai’s vault. But for now, we hope to see much more of these two exciting reveals. Keep it tuned to TokuNation for more updates from Tamashii Naitons 2020!

Yesterday we saw Bandai Tamashii Nations jump into the world of high-end statues with the announcement of the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory- figure, but it looks as though the line won’t be just a one-off thing to celebrate Zero’s 10th anniversary!

A further two releases in this new line have been unveiled at Tamashii Nations 2020 – one of Zero’s rival Ultraman Belial, and another of Kamen Rider Double facing off against two Masquerade Dopants! Like the Zero figure both sport incredible detailing, however it’s unclear whether they also feature illuminating parts. One thing’s for sure though – they won’t come cheap.

Check out the full selection of images after the jump and join in on our Tamashii Nations 2020 discussion!

under Ultraman

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ultraman Zero, Bandai Tamashii Nations have unveiled the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory-, the first in a line of high quality statues.

Sitting atop a rocky plinth (featuring a miniature Pigmon!), Ultraman Zero features illuminating eyes and colour timer as well as a removable cloak. This extremely high quality statue mirrors the detailing of the suit down to the finest detail, making it one of the most impressive pieces the company has produced to date.

Such quality does not come cheap though, with the Tamashii web exclusive statue costing a hefty 132,000 yen. If you’d like to add this incredible piece to your collection though, it will be releasing in July 2021.

Previously teased in the run up to the Tamashii Nations 2020 event this weekend, Bandai have now revealed official images and release information for the S.H. Figuarts Ultra Zero Mantle! This blue mantle worn by Ultraman Zero in the currently airing Ultraman Z has been produced in a similar vein to the forthcoming Ultra Brothers‘ Mantle, utilising fabric on a posable frame.

The Ultra Zero Mantle will be released in May 2021 as a Tamashii web exclusive, priced 2750 yen.

The latest issue of Figure-Oh magazine has just been released, and gracing the cover is the surprise announcement of an S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Black! We’ll bring you more information about this reveal as it comes, and the figure is surely to be on show at the Tamashii Nations 2020 event in a few weeks’ time!

Just ahead of the Tamashii Nations 2020 event due to take place between 6th and 8th November, Bandai have announced  S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Realizing Hopper as a sneak preview!

This is a commemorative item for the event, so is only available for a limited time.

The figure will retail for 3300 yen and release April 2021, with the preorders open from the 6th to the 9th November.
