Power Rangers Beast Morphers premieres this weekend, March 2nd!!
“Reddo Fight!”
A while back we reviewed the very first figure in Evolution Toy’s Hero Action Figure (HAF) line. HAF Redman was unfortunately a mixed bag of QC issues. In the time since that figure’s release, the first and now second volume’s of the amazing REDMAN comic from Phase 6 and Night Shining. Series writer & artist Matthew Frank has crafted and truly compelling reinvention of the Redman story and breathed new life into an otherwise obscure cult character. Thanks to Matt we also got our hands on the subject of today’s gallery.
Today we’re looking at the incredibly limited Tokyo Comic Con exclusive REDMAN Volume 2 Dark Channel Edition! Not only does this version of volume 2 feature an exclusive limited cover differing from the retail version, but the Dark Channel also came packed with the the even more limited (just 300 pieces!) HAF Redman Dark Version! Thankfully, Matt was kind enough to pick up a Dark Channel Edition for us while he was set up at the Tokyo con, and was also generous enough to sign inside my personal copy of Japanese volume 2. Redman Dark himself is a familiar figure if you’ve handled the original, but there’s something to be said for a sleek black color scheme and some truly incredible glow-in-the-dark eyes.
Check out our full 40 image gallery and review after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in a couple days with a gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Heat/Metal!
The latest round of magazine scans has come online, giving fans even more details about the upcoming Super Sentai series Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!
Taking center stage this month are the RyuSouls– the devices that will enhance the RyuSoulgers’ powers. Each Soul has a different function:
*The MabushiSoul creates a blinding light
*The MukiMukiSoul gives its user super-strength
*The GyakuSoul can fix broken items
*The NemuSoul makes opponents fall asleep
And many more RyuSouls await discovery!
Not to be outdone, we also get some better images of the KishiRyu– the partner dinosaurs belonging to each RyuSoulger! The KishiRyu team consists of Red Tyramigo, Blue Triken, Pink Ankydoze, Green TigerLance & Black MiNeedle. Each one has unique combat abilities. RyuSoul Red is shown using another RyuSoul- the ChiaSoul on Tyramigo to shrink down his Kishiryu to the size of a human.
The KishiRyus combine to form the great Mecha Knight, KishiRyuOh! The RyuSoulgers’ first combination will be Tyramigo, Triken and Ankydoze creating KishiRyuOh Three Knights! Then, when TigerLance is added to the group they will create KishiRyuOh TigerLance! This new form is much faster and has even greater swordsmanship.
Finally, we are given a quick glimpse at the series’ villains- the Druidon and the monsters they will create, called Minusaurs. The villain character Creon will select human beings to transform into monsters, draining away their life energy.
Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger officially begins March 17 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation for any new details on this remarkable new series!
Yes you read that right, Ryusoul Red of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger will indeed be getting a Ridewatch for the Kamen Rider Zi-O toyline! Though not the first time a Super Sentai member has been inducted into a Kamen Rider toyline (the Super Sentai Wizard Ring) or vice versa (the Den-Liner Ressha) these little crossovers of gimmicks are always really cool.
The Ryusoul Red SG Ridewatch will be made available exclusively through Uniqlo stores in Japan. 3/21 is the start of the giveaway campaign, customers will have to buy two Kamen Rider Zi-O graphic T-Shirts to qualify for it. Quantities will be limited, so expect this Ridewatch to increase in value on the secondary market pretty quickly in a similar fashion to the Cross-Z & GenM Ridewatches. This is an SG Ridewatch, not DX, but it of course will still work just fine with the DX Ziku Driver.
A pair of new magazine scans for Kamen Rider Zi-O have just been released!
At last, Kamen Rider Geiz is receiving an upgraded form- officially known as Kamen Rider Geiz Revive! This form is activated by a new hourglass-based RideWatch and has multiple configurations- which can be changed by rotating the RideWatch. The Orange form utilizes defensive abilities, while the Blue form allows for powerful attacks.
In addition, the scans confirm the return of fan-favorite Masahiro Inoue to the series! The Destroyer Of Worlds has taken on a new role- this time as a police officer. But just what is Kamen Rider Decade up to now?! Only time will tell!
Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kamen Rider reveals!
After tonight’s episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O a new Premium Bandai release was just announced. The DX Mirai Driver set comes with one DX Mirai Driver (a remold of the DX Ziku Driver) and each of the future Kamen Rider’s necessary transformation trinkets:
Shinobi’s Shuriken Starter

The DX Mirari Driver Set retails for 9720 yen, pre-orders begin today and run through April 8th , and the set releases in July 2019. Be sure to get in touch with your proffered middleman service or site to secure a pre-order for the set during the order window.
Toei has revealed a number of supporting cast members for the upcoming 43rd Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!
These are the Master Rangers– the predecessors of the current team who have retired from active duty & begun training the next generation of heroes. The Masters are armed with basic silver swords rather than the traditional RyuSoulKen weapons wielded by the RyuSoulgers.
Each Master is played by a tokusatsu veteran:
*Master Red is portrayed by Masaya Kikawada– previously known as Ichigo in Kamen Rider: The First.
*The role of Master Blue is played by Jouji Shibue who previously portrayed Kamen Rider Ibuki in Kamen Rider Hibiki.
*And Master Pink is portrayed by Miyuu Sawai best known for the title role in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
Last but certainly not least is the mysterious Elder of the RyuSoul Tribe. This figure is the overseer of all RyuSoulgers, past and present. The Elder will be played by Jiro Dan, best known for the role of Ultraman Jack.
Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger is scheduled to begin on March 17 2019! Be sure to join in our Ongoing RyuSoulger Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this remarkable new series!

FUTURE TIME!
It wasn’t that long ago that Bandai unveiled S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz in all of his glory, and that he’d be released at mass retail. It hasn’t even been a day yet, and already Bandai’s Tamashii pick up page was updated with new photos of this future Rider.
Woz’s signature Zikan Despear weapon will be included, in the Figureoh scan, it showed that it will include parts to create its other modes. It doesn’t appear that his Ride Watches are detailed, a trend which sadly started with Zi-O and Geiz and themselves.
None of the less, S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz will be released July 2019 for 5940 yen.
