Boom! Studios has announced the next major crossover event for their fan-favorite Power Rangers comic book series!

The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers will team up with fellow avatars of childhood nostalgia, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a five-issue mini-series written by Ryan Parrot (previously responsible for the Necessary Evil story in Power Rangers comics) and drawn by Simone di Meo (whose resume includes the Boom! special series Beyond The Grid).
Artist Dan Mora has drawn the initial cover for this series and several variant covers will also be made.

A brief story outline was released for this crossover:


“The Power Rangers arrive in New York City to find Tommy Oliver – AKA The Mighty Morphin Green Ranger – but soon discover he’s joined forces with the villainous Shredder and the Foot Clan! As the Rangers are sent reeling by this betrayal, they’re confronted by another (fr)enemy – the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Can these heroes find a way to work together to defeat the bad guys and save the world from total destruction?!”

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 will be released on December 4 2019!

Following the exciting initial reveal we now have some full catalog scans for the first Kamen Rider of the Reiwa Era– Kamen Rider Zero-One!

Here is everything we know about this new Kamen Rider thus far:

*The main gimmick for this series involves memory-card based devices known as Progrise Keys which are inserted into Drivers and weapons to unlock new abilities. Thus far all Progrise Keys seem to be based on animals.

*Kamen Rider Zero-One will henshin using the Rising Hopper Progrise Key in his unique Driver- tentatively known as the Hiden Zero-One Driver. Additional forms to be used by Zero-One include Flying Falcon, Biting Shark, Flaming Tiger, Freezing Bear and a massive armored drone form called Breaking Mammoth.

*Zero-One’s motorcycle converts into his phone- a device called the RisePhone. Additional Progrise Keys will be carried in Zero-One’s belt attachment, the Progrise Key Connector.

Once again we will have MULTIPLE Kamen Riders in this series!

*Kamen Rider Vulcan is armed with a new gun-based Driver- the AIMS Shot Riser. Vulcan’s signature Progrise Key is Shooting Wolf and he has access to a separate form called Punching Kong.

*Kamen Rider Valkyrie also uses the AIMS Shot Riser and has two unique Progrise Keys- Rushing Cheetah & Lightning Hornet.

*Kamen Rider Horobi uses the Sting Scorpion Progrise Key and has a unique Driver- the Force Riser.

Each Rider has a signature weapon based on an attache case: Zero-One uses the sword-like Attache Calibur, Vulcan uses the Attache Shotgun and Horobi uses the Attache Arrow. Another weapon called the Authorise Buster is also detailed- this is an axe that can transform into a gun and may be available to multiple Riders.

Finally, we have some quick teasers for the first Rider Upgrades! Using a new model of Progrisse Keys, Zero-One will unlock the Shining Hopper form while Vulcan activates Assault Wolf.

So far Kamen Rider Zero-One is shaping up to be a very interesting series! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kamen Rider Zero-One reveals!

Some new images from the next wave of Super Sentai toys have also been released online, giving us a quick look at what lies ahead for Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

*The newest Kishiryu has been revealed! The YokuRyu transforms from a penguin-like Pit Mode to its true Kishiryu configuration. In addition, YokuRyu can combine with RyuSoul Red and Tyramigo to form a dragonic configuration known as PuTyramigo. YokuRyu has a unique Mecha configuration, becoming the powerful YokuRyuOh!

*A new weapon has also been revealed- the Max RyuSoul Charger! This claw-like device boosts the power of RyuSouls beyond anything seen before, activating an upgrade form for RyuSoul Red.

Definitely some exiting times ahead for Super Sentai fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all RyuSoulger reveals!

Bandai’s Candy Toy Blog has just fully revealed two new upcoming waves of Shodo-X! Consisting of releases from Kamen Rider Agito as well as Kamen Rider Black & Black RX, we get a huge variety for forms and a few Rider Machines:

Kamen Rider Agito
– Agito Ground Form
– Agito Trinity Form
– Agito ShiningForm
– Machine Tornador (A parts)
– Machine Tornador (B Parts)
– Extension set (Weapons & parts to make Flame/Storm forms)

So you get nearly every Agito form aside from Burning as well as his Rider Machine in this wave! Of note however is that you will need duplicates of Ground & Trinity Form in order to have stand-alone Flame & Storm Forms at the same time. So expect to see cases broken down to sell extras when this wave releases.

Black & RX
– Black
– Black RX
– Battle Hopper
– Acrobatter
– Shadow Moon

Comparisons are shown between these new Shodo-X releases and the original Shodo VS releases for Black & company, illustrating the improvements of the X line. So if you picked up the older VS releases, it looks like a fairly significant upgrade this go around.
