QUE BOOM!
The last round of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger magazine scans revealed two new Kishiryu: ShadowRaptor and ShineRaptor. While we’re eagerly awaiting to see these two in action, Bandai went ahead and released official images for their toy-counter parts.
These new images for the DX ShineRaptor and ShadowRaptor show the pair off in their various modes and combinations. Both raptors will be included in the set of course, in addition to a Cosmo Kyo RyuSoul. The set will be coming August 2019 and will have a suggested retail price of $52.00 according to tokullectibles.com
“I am the emissary of Hell!
And I shall fight this great evil for the fate of all spiders!”
400 years ago, Professor Monster came to invade Earth with his Iron Cross Army. Active once again in 1978, his legions would cross paths with the young motocross racer Takuya Yamashiro. With a fate greater than he knew, Takuya was both destined to lose his father to Iron Cross, and encounter the strange race of the Planet Spider. Now infused with the Spider Extract, and given command of the mighty Spider-Machine GP-7 and Marveller, Takuya has become the Spider-Man! This Emissary of Hell will fight to defend the Earth for as long as it takes to stop Professor Monster and his hordes!
The classic 1978 Toei produced Spider-Man series has become a cult classic in the US, particularly after the character’s involvement in Marvel Comics Spider-Verse event series (which the above quote comes from). Mattel has been the first toy company to capitalize on the series US popularity with merchandise though, giving us the SDCC exclusive Hot Wheels Spider Machine GP-7! A welcome addition for any 1/64 Hot Wheels collector, and a wonderful one for any fan of Spider-Man, the Spider Machine is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
We’ve got a full 50 image gallery of the Spider Machine GP-7 after the jump as well as a full review. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see it all. Next time, we dive into another SDCC Exclusive from Hasbro’s Power Rangers Lightning Collection line!
Another round of magazine scans for Super Sentai has also been released online, giving us some quick hints at the further adventures of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!
Two new Kishiryu will be joining the fray- the Velociraptor twins, ShineRaptor & ShadowRaptor! These Kishiryu were captured by the Druidon over 65 million years ago, and fed on light and darkness to increase their powers. Both Raptors can combine into a single advanced Kishiryu known as CosmoRaptor.
The Raptors can unite with Kishiryu Oh to form a new configuration- KishiryuOh CosmoRaptor! This new Mecha channels cosmic energy to chase Minusaurs out of hiding.
ShadowRaptor in particular will have a close relationship with RyuSoul Gold, combining with MosaRex to create Kishiryu Neptune Shadow– a Mecha that can control gravity in combat. RyuSoul Gold will also obtain ShadowRaptor Armor to become RyuSoul Gold DarknessSoul– which allows the MosaChanger weapon to fire black holes at enemies.
Finally, RyuSoul Red will master the powers of CosmoRaptor Armor to transform into RyuSoul Red CosmoSoul– a form that unleashes the strength of light & darkness.
Certainly seems like some exciting times ahead for RyuSoulger fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Super Sentai reveals!
We are growing closer and closer to the premiere of the first Kamen Rider in the Reiwa Era and to mark the occasion we now have our first batch of magazine scans starring Kamen Rider Zero-One!
As stated previously, Kamen Rider Zero-One fights using the Progrise Keys that convert animal abilities into combat data. Zero-One’s signature Key is the Rising Hopper which makes him extremely fast and agile. Using this form Zero-One can deliver a Rising Impact attack to defeat enemies. Kamen Rider Zero-One’s second form is activated by the Flying Falcon Progrise Key, unlocking flight capabilities and new red armor.
Zero-One lives in a world where humans share their existence with androids known as HumaGear. While most exist peacefully, there is a terrorist group known as MetsuboJinrai that insists HumaGear are superior to organic beings and use their abilities to force android bodies to attack civilians.
The A.I.M.S. force exists in this world to protect humans from attacks- led by the Rider duo Kamen Rider Vulcan & Kamen Rider Valkyrie! Vulcan uses the ShootingWolf Progrise Key while Valkyrie holds the RushingCheetah Progrise Key. Vulcan is described as a “wild fighter” while Valkyrie’s abilities are more precise.
Kamen Rider Zero-One is officially scheduled to begin on September 1st 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!
COUNT THE MEDALS!
It’s a double whammy of Kamen Rider OOO goodness today! Joining alongside our magazine scan magazine coverage of S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider OOO GataKiriBa Combo, Bandai recently revealed the next entry for the SO-DO Chronicle Kamen Rider series, with Kamen Rider OOO himself.
Of course, So-Do Chronichle Kamen Rider OOO will be starting off with the default form itself: TaToBa Combo. Further release info is pending as of this article, but we can tell from the photos that it’ll come with his Medajaribur weapon, a long with a decent range of articulation.
We’ll be providing you with more info as it becomes available so stay tuned for further updates.
Yet another veteran Kamen Rider will be making a comeback in the anniversary celebration series known as Kamen Rider Zi-O!
Actor Mitsuoka Matsuoka will reprise his role as the NEVER Rider; Kamen Rider Eternal!
Eternal was first introduced in the Kamen Rider W movie and was popular enough to receive a separate V-Cinema release detailing his origins.
Feel free to join in our Kamen Rider Zi-O Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears on this returning Rider!
Earlier in the week, we had our first look at Kamen Rider Zero-One, ushering in the age of the Reiwa Era we now have our first look at the show proper thanks to a press conference that was held in Japan. This press conference gives us our first look at the actual stunt suit for Zero-One himself, as well as revealing the show’s ensemble and the show’s story:
AI and robots replace the need for human workers in a lot of labor-related jobs. The civilian identity of the Zero One is Hiden Aruto, he’s the president of Hiden Intelligence. There’s a group called A.I.M.S. which is an anti-AI group and fights the bad robots while a group of hackers serves as the main antagonists for this show. Kamen Rider Valkyire’s civilian identity’s been confirmed as female as many have speculated when the scans were first released and it seems like she’ll be part of the show’s main cast early on in the series’ run.
Voice actors Koichi Yamadera will be the show’s narrator, while Noriko Hidaka will be providing the voice for the A.I system. The press conference can be viewed in full in the box down below:
AM-A-ZOOON!
Just in case you missed it, P-Bandai teased the release of a Complete Selection Modification Amazons Driver sometime ago. The Pre-Order page for that item’s finally launched and with that, we now have new photographs of this wonderful piece along with pricing and release info.
