The first Kamen Rider crossover project for the new Reiwa Era has been confirmed!

Titled Kamen Rider Reiwa: The First Generation this cinematic adventure will feature a team-up between Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Zero-One.

The film is tentatively scheduled for release on December 21, 2019!

Sadly, no story or cast details have been released at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider reveals!

under Super Sentai

Not to be outdone, a number of new scans for Super Sentai have been released online- offering some hints at upcoming adventures for the Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

Here’s what we have to look forward to-

*The RyuSoulgers will uncover a strange egg that hatches into a mini-Kishiryu, nicknamed Pi-Tan. Pi-Tan can add extra powers to other Kishiryu- such as granting Tyramigo the ability to fly in a combination called Pi-Tyramigo.

*Upon growing to full Kishiry size, Pi-Tan will be known as Pterardon! Armed with fantastic ice powers, Pterardon converts into a powerful mecha- YokuRyuOh!

*But of course, true strength comes from combination! Once Pterardon unites with Tyramigo and the newly-uncovered PachyGaroo, they form KishiRyuOh Jet– an amazing flying Mecha with unstoppable force!

*Pi-Tan also brings a new RyuSoul to combat- the HieHie Soul grants its user new armor and ice-based attacks. RyuSoul Red will be the first to master the HieHie Soul- and this power may finally turn the tide in battle against Gaisorg.

Certainly seems like things are picking up for Super Sentai fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all RyuSoulger reveals!

Once again some new images have been released online detailing the further adventures of Kamen Rider Zero-One!

Special highlights this month include:

*TWO new Kamen Riders! The sinister duo of Kamen Rider Horobi & Kamen Rider Jin are finally shown in full detail. These two use a new device known as the MetsuboJinrai ForceRiser. Horobi’s signature Progrise Key is the StingScorpion while Jin obtains the FlyingFalcon Key for his own use.

*To keep up with these new threats, the current Riders will have to master some new Progrise Keys! Kamen Rider Zero-One is shown using the Freezing Bear Progrise Key while Kamen Rider Valkyrie gets a new form thanks to the Lightning Hornet Key.

*But the BIGGEST new entry this month is the most powerful Progrise Key to date: the Breaking Mammoth! This unique new form is actually a satellite transformed into heavy battle armor for Kamen Rider Zero-One.

Definitely some exciting things ahead for Kamen Rider fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Zero-One reveals.

“What’s that you usually yell about now?
Something about ‘Morphin Time,’ isn’t it?”

For 4 seasons and 2 movies, one villain has been an ever present threat to the Power Rangers. This mighty winged has waged wars on countless worlds, making his mark across the universe. But after being freed from a 10,000 year slumber, the Power Rangers of Earth became his greatest foes. For millennia, he has served at the beck and call of his empress, Rita Repulsa. And even before that, he was a loyal general in the armies of the fearsome Lord Zedd. Born on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, the shining warrior Goldar is a force for all heroes to reckon with.

A Gamestop Exclusive, Lightning Collection Goldar has easily become one of the most in demand figures in this line. As the first truly modern action figure the character has received, there was quite a bit of hype surrounding it’s release. Pairing your Goldar up with Lord Zedd or the recently released Putty, a real army is starting to take shape to take on your Power Rangers. LC Goldar is armed with his signature sword as well as a pretty lethal looking effect part to accent it, and his iconic golden wings. As a standalone figure Goldar may have a handful of issues, but as a part of your larger Power Rangers collection he’ll feel right at home.

Check out our full 60+ image gallery of Goldar after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. You can also read through our full review of the figure in that thread. We’ll be back soon with a look at the future in our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz!

under Power Rangers

Renegade Game Studio’s Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid tabletop game came out last month and after a successful launch they’re back at it again with another Kickstarter campaign.

We’ve known for some time now that a Power Rangers: Zeo expansion was planned thanks to a Backer’s Choice poll that was held some time ago. The Evil Robot Clone of Dino Thunder Black is present on the banner, suffice to say that an expansion based on the Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel anniversary episode: Dimensions in Danger is also quite possibly in the works.

Other details are unknown at this time, but we’ll be sure to update you once the Kickstarter goes live on September 17th 2019.
