“S.P.D. Emergency!”

His home planet Sirius decimated by Emperor Gruumm, Anubis Doggie Cruger came to Earth as commander of the law enforcement organization Space Patrol Delta. Cruger would protect the galaxy many times and mentor teams of Power Rangers for a number of years. The greatest team being Earth’s eventual saviors, the S.P.D. B-Squad. As heroic as they were, in desperate times Cruger used his Patrol Morpher to become the sworn defender of the galaxy, S.P.D. Shadow Ranger!

Another wonderful addition to wave 1 of Hasbro’s Lighting Collection line of figures, the S.P.D. Shadow Ranger is absolutely one of the most demanded figures in the line by fans. It’s been 14 years since SPD aired and this character’s popularity has maintained, not to mention the demand from fans of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger for a figure of Deka Master. The LC Shadow Ranegr figure at it’s $20 price point offers a wealth of articulation as well iconic accessories like the Shadow Saber, Patrol Morpher, and even an un-morphed Doggie Cruger head! For fans of both Power Rangers and Super Sentai, this figure is a must own.

A recent news article has given us our first look at the sixth member of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

Kanaro is described as the prince of a splinter RyuSoul Tribe that lives on the sea and detests fighting. The character will officially appear starting in the 14th episode of RyuSoulger- currently scheduled to air June 23 2019.

“Racer Zord, Cheetah Strike!”

When it’s time to take on a Gigantronic with the Beast Racer Zord, there’s one mighty weapon that’s sure to do the trick. To destroy these viral villains the Red Ranger can call on the Cheetah Beast Blaster for one powerful attack! And now thanks to Hasbro you can call on the power of this mighty blaster to take on your friends with the NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!

Roleplay toys are the bread and butter of just about any modern toyline, and Power Rangers Beast Morphers is no stranger to that either. Whether it’s the Morph-X keys included with 6″ figures, the Beast-X Morpher itself, or the very NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster we’re looking at today. This is a wonderful and pretty nicely scaled roleplay blaster with powerful dart firing action and cheetah to blaster mode transformation! I’d also like to mention that this item was provided to us for FREE, direct from Hasbro. It was sent our way as a part of their generous Beast Morphers Product Review Mailer.

We’ve attached the full gallery to this post but you can also read through our full review of the NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we visit Beast Morphers, we’re taking a walk on the dark side with 6″ Basic Cybervillain Blaze!

Seen most recently at the Tamashii Nations Tokyo event in April, Bandai has just confirmed release details for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gamedeus Cronus!

Taking a roundabout way to getting released, Gamedeus Cronus has been seen in one form or another at several Tamashii events. At one point only the Deus Rusher & Deus Rampart sword & shield were seen, being held by a standard Cronus Figuart. Thankfully today’s new images not only confirm it’s status as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, but also it’s October 2019 release window and 7150 yen price.

Since this is an exclusive, be sure to watch your preferred sites or middleman services for pre-orders.

Since this is an exclusive, be sure to watch your preferred sites or middleman services for pre-orders.

Once again the world of Kamen Rider Build offers us a surprise!

Fan-favorite supporting hero Kamen Rider Grease will be starring in a New World V-Cinema set after the events of the series, and with a new adventure comes new Rider powers! Thanks to the Grease Perfect Kingdom adapter- used with the Robot FullBottle in the BuildDriver rather than Greases’ traditional SclashDriver– the powers of Kamen Rider Grease Perfect are activated!

This new form is said to contain the powers of Grease’s subordinates, the Hokuto Three Crows. Perfects’ exact combat abilities remain unknown at time of writing.

Kamen Rider Grease: New World is currently scheduled for release in Autumn 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting project!

The massive mecha known as the Time Mazine is the last line of defense between the rebels of 2068 & the dark overlord Oma Zi-O. In order to complete his mission of defeating Oma Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz travels from the future to the present day in his Time Mazine. Taking on Another Riders & Time Jackers alike, the Geiz Time Mazine is a formidable force in the fight to save the future!

The DX Geiz Time Mazine is a straight repaint of the big DX toy of the line this year, the Time Mazine. If you’ve handled the original Time Mazine, then you know exactly what you’re getting. This DX toy winds up being one of the best articulated mecha we’ve gotten in a while (take that Sentai!) and is completely interactive with the Ride Watches of the toyline. This figure is also scaled to work with the Rider Kicks RKF line and even transforms to vehicle mode. While the original Mazine came with the OOO Ridewatch, the Geiz Time Mazine includes the DX Diend Ridewatch!

We’ve attached the full gallery of DX Geiz Time Mazine to this article, but you can also read up on our full review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week, we’ll be back with the Power Rangers Beast Morphers NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!
