Thanks to a pair of new listings posted on Toywiz we have our first looks at two as of yet unannounced new items for Power Rangers Beast Morphers. Both Zords are of the “Converting” variety. So these are the combining zords meant to go along with the upcoming Beast-X Megazord components!

First up we have the Silver Ranger’s Beast Jet Zord! Luckily for this one, Toywiz does have an official description:“Imagine calling on the power of the Beast Jet Converting Zord and battling the Power Rangers’ toughest foes. Convert from robotic Scarab Mode, ready for a fight, to Jet Mode, ready to fly to the next place Zord power is needed. And, combined with Beast Racer Converting Zord, Beast Wheeler Converting Zord, Beast Wrecker Converting Zord and Beast Chopper Converting Zord (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.), kids can assemble the Beast- X Ultrazord to imagine taking on even more powerful foes. Go Go Power Rangers!” The listed price via Toywiz is $29.99and the figure is expected to ship in September.

Next, we have the Gold Ranger’s Beast Wrecker Zord! While the Toywiz listing doesn’t have an official description yet, it’s apparent what we’re getting from this release. This Beetle Based zord converts from insect to mechanical crane truck mode and can also combine with the Beast Wrecker or be used with the other 4 Zords to create the Beast-X Ultrazord! This Zord is also listed at $29.99 with a September release.

When a proper description arrives for the Beast Wrecker Zord we’ll be sure to update this story. Hopefully the reveal of these two zords also means that official images of the Beast-X Ultrazord won’t be far behind either.

Our good friend @MisturYellow on twitter originally discovered these listings.

Months after the SSSS.Gridman series finale, can this massive collector’s set live up to the hype? We’re working on a full gallery of these big bots ourselves. But for the time being, the first video review of these figure’s has been posted by the one and only Wotakufighter! 

This is a pretty hefty breakdown and video review so it’s actually split into two parts, and clocks in at a combined hour of video. Check em out below!

We’ll have our own gallery of DX Full Power Gridman set in about a week!

“UltraLive!”

Ultra Series fans can rejoice as the current lineup of New Generation Ultras is about to finally be complete with the release of S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga! After being previously revealed via magazine images, these new images from Bandai Tamashii Nations give us a better look at the 2013 Ultra hero, based on his original appearance in the series.

Available as a retail release in October for the price of 6050 yen, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga comes packaged with three pairs of additional hands, a replacement colour timer, Ginga Cross Shoot effect part and the Ginga Spark Lance. Japanese preorders will begin on June 3rd!

Last week, news emerged that a reissue of sorts was planned for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga. Details had been sparse save from the Decade Version designation it was given. Thankfully a full set of official images has just been released via Tamashii Nations.

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga (Decade Ver.) will be a part for part reissue of the original Seihou Kuuga Mighty Form with some paint differences. The shade of red used on the Decade Kuuga suit is a bit brighter while the gold accents are a bit deeper as well. This reflects the way the original Kuuga suit changed between filming for the Kuuga TV series and the Decade one. Having been repainted previously, in an attempt to color match the suit to it’s original scheme, Toei did miss the mark a little. This resulted in a subtly unique version of Kuuga for Decade, and this figure represents that.

Many collectors who missed out on the original Seihou Kuuga release will undoubtedly be happy to see this unique reissue, allowing them to finally pick the figure up for a reasonable price. Kuuga Decade Version will be out as a retail release in October for 6050 yen, which is still 650 yen more than the original release. No new accessories are included with this release.

The latest round of magazine scans has also given fans some teasers for the future adventures of the 43rd Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

Taking center stage this month is the Knight of Destiny, RyuSoul Gold! Hailing from a long-lost RyuSoul Tribe hidden in the seas, the warrior Kanaro comes armed with two unique weapons- the MosaChanger gun and the MosaBlade saber. RyuSoul Gold has already mastered a powerful RyuSoul known as the BiriBiri Soul which activates powerful electric armor in combat.

RyuSoul Gold has two purposes in joining the surface world: to repel the Druidon Tribe attacks on Earth, and to find a bride! Kanaro is aided in both tasks by his younger sister, Oto.

Joining RyuSoul Gold in combat is his signature Kishiryu– the massive MosaRex! The only aquatic Kishiryu yet revealed, MosaRex is described as Kanaro’s Master who taught the young RyuSoulger everything he knew about combat. MosaRex has a unique Mecha configuration- transforming into KishiRyu Neptune!

Finally, another villain will be joining the series- the cursed knight Gaisorg! This legendary warrior first appeared in the Super Sentai Strongest Battle mini-series, and now at last his hunt for the RyuSoulgers takes center stage.

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

RIDER TIME


The latest round of magazine scans has dropped, giving us some new insight on the adventures of Tokiwa Sogou and his path to becoming a king.

In this batch of scans, a couple of new details have been confirmed:

The next Heisei era Kamen Rider to receive a tribute episode will be 2007’s Kamen Rider Den-O. Previously, we’ve already gotten a glimpse at Another Den-O via the Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever movie which saw release last year. It’s currently not known when the Den-O tribute episode will take place or which veteran actors will be making an appearance.

In addition, the scans give us a good look at the latest form for the series: Kamen Rider Grand Zi-O! We previously got a look at the suit via toy listings sometime ago, and the latest scans provide us with a cleaner look at the actual stunt suit that will be used in the T.V. show.

The story details along with Grand Zi-O’s powers remain unknown at the time of this writing, nor can we say when the form will make its appearance. We can confirm that Grand Zi-O will be released as an RKF action figure later on down the line.
