“Wake up!” 

Struggling with the duality of his human & Fangire parentage, Wataru Kurenai protected humanity from his own monstrous kind. As Kamen Rider Kiva, Wataru fought for justice, but he also needed a ride. Built by the mysterious Motobat the 16th, and entrusted to Kiva by Kivat Bat III, the Machine Kivaa is a mighty machine worthy of the Fangire king!

Tamashii Nations has done Kamen Rider Kiva fans an incredible solid with this release. The Machine Kivaa Option Parts Set gives fans everything they could possibly want to compliment their Kiva collections. Not only do we get the the Machine Kivaa, a stylish modification of the base Honda Shadow 750 model, but also Kiva’s other signature props. The regal throne we see Kiva sat upon often, particularly in the series opening, as well as the Bloody Rose. The magnificent violin created and played by Wataru’s father, Otoya. This set really is a love letter to a show that’s often derided, but is absolutely one of the most stylish series out there.

For those of you that might be just tuning in, Toho and Tsuburaya will be collaborating on a new Ultraman feature film called Shin Ultraman, helmed by Shin Godzilla director Shinji Higuchi himself.

At Tsuburaya Convention 2019, our friends at Toho and Tsuburaya just unveiled what the design could possibly end up looking like, and it seems like they’re sticking as close to the original design as possible.

There’s still much we don’t know about this movie as of this writing, hopefully as we head into 2020 more news breaks sooner rather than later. Until then, be sure to check back with us at Tokunation, and we’ll be sure to update you as soon as it becomes available.

“Unleash the power!”

Arriving in Amber Beach to find his missing father, Tyler Navarro could never imagine what really lay ahead for him. By chance both he and soon to be allies make contact with the Energems! Ancient crystals that channel the Morphin Grid and the energy of the universe. Entrusted to the ancient dinosaurs by the mysterious Keeper, these Energems have chosen Tyler and the others to be the next generation of Power Rangers! To defend the Earth, to defeat the villainous Sledge and his crew, to unlock the ultimate power of the universe, in a world full of strife the Dino Charge Red Ranger fights to survive!

The Lightning Collection line has been going strong for the better part of a year now. Pumping out regular releases in the form of full waves, two-packs, and store exclusive single figures has made it hard to keep up on occasion. But finally we’ve made our way back around to finish off Wave 1 with the Dino Charge Red Ranger!  An overlooked gem of the first wave, DC Red is a solidly constructed figure with a lot more fine detail than you notice at first glance. Armed with the Dino Charge Morpher, the Dino Saber, an effect part, extra hands, and an unmasked head, this figure is the total package.
