The new Ultras in question are:


*Ultraman Taiga
*Ultraman Titus
*Ultraman Fuma

Unfortunately, no other information about the new Ultra characters or series is available at time of writing.

Presumably, these new heroes will begin their adventures upon the conclusion of the current series Ultraman R/B (currently expected to end in March 2019).

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

ACCESS FLASH!

If your among those clamoring for more of Studio Trigger’s hit SSSS.Gridman anime, we have good news for you. This comes straight from the SSSS.Gridman account, who teased that a 2nd season might’ve already entered production.

At the moment, not much else is known about this potential 2nd showing other a date that was given along with the image of May 26th, 2019. This could be a possible start date, which would put SSSS.Gridman Season 2 in the running for the summer. 

Either way, be sure to tune back into Tokunation as the date draws near, and we’ll bring you the updates as it becomes available.

 

UPDATE:

New information has just recently come to our attention since publishing this article: the tweet and image in question is actually the date for a follow-up to a talk show. Of course, it is still possible we might see SSSS.Gridman season 2 get announced during that show. But if anything noteworthy comes up, we’ll be sure to let you know!

Another new image has surfaced online for the 43rd Super Sentai Series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

This is our first proper look at the members of the series’ villains- the Druidon Tribe! According to the early story details, these monsters attacked Earth during the time of dinosaurs but fought against the KishiRyu and the Knights, finally fleeing before the great extinction. But now in modern times they have returned to finish what they started!

*The heavily-armored general is named Tankjou and he commands the series’ foot soldiers- known as Dorun Soldiers.

*The smaller green general is known as Creon and has the power to create monsters (known in-series as Mynasaurs to battle the RyuSoulgers.

Keep in mind, official English spellings for these names have not been confirmed at time of writing.

The Druidon’s battle with the RyuSoulgers officially starts March 17 2019! Feel free to join in our Ongoing RyuSoulger Rumor Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this remarkable new Sentai series!

After the initial reveal of this figure in early January, we haven’t been offered much in the way of further updates for S.H. Figuarts Oma Zi-O. However, thanks to a new post on the official S.H. Figuarts Blog we have two new looks at the upcoming figure. While we still don’t have any sort of release or pricing details yet, we can certainly see that Oma Zi-O will be a lavish and ornate repaint of the first Zi-O Figuart.

The Figuarts Blog does mention to check back in regards to future releases, and we doubt that after seeing the figure twice now that it won’t see the light of day at some point. So as release details become available we’ll be sure to update you.

This is our first look at the RyuSoulger team in action, highlighting the full potential of the legendary Knights and their signature Mecha, KishiRyuOh.

Throughout the month of March Bandai Tamashii Nations will be holding a special ULTRA HEROES TAMASHII event in Shanghai, China. As well as featuring displays of the previously released (and hopefully forthcoming) Ultraman Figuarts, the event will also have special commemorative items on sale. Among them are special “Ultra Heroes Tamashii Limited” versions of the previously released S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Geed Primitive and S.H. Figuarts Jugglus Juggler figures!

Not much has been confirmed about these figures yet, but from these single images we can see that they will have more weathered colour schemes to their mainline counterparts (with Geed also featuring red eyes that more closely match his father Belial), as well as recoloured accessories. Geed’s Wrecking Burst effect part will be red and black (as opposed to the original’s blue and red), while Juggler’s Serpent-Hearted Blade will now have a red blade part.

ULTRA HEROES TAMASHII is a free event that will be held at the Shanghai Longshan Railway Bridge Tianchi from the 1st to 31st March. Both Figuarts will be available at the event and retail for 390 RMB each. Check out the full-sized images after the jump!

Some official images have been released for the first merchandise for the upcoming Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

This is our best look yet at the series’ Mecha, KishiRyuOh! This Mecha starts off as Ryusoul Red’s personal KishiRyu partner, Tyramigo. Thanks to the power of a unique RyuSoul (the mysterious devices that power the RyuSoulgers, resembling dinosaur heads that transform into knights), Tyramigo is able to transform into the gigantic robotic knight KishiRyuOh! This DX release will include a special Red RyuSoul for collectors.

As will all Super Sentai Mecha, true strength comes from combination! Uniting with the other KishiRyu creates brand new forms for KishiRyuOh. By combining with Ryusoul Pink’s Ankylose and Ryusoul Blue’s TriKen they create the all-powerful KishiRyuOh Three Knights!

The DX KishiRyu can be purchased in a set for all Three Knights (priced at 7800 Yen) or separately (which would cost 2600 Yen apiece for Blue & Pink; 5200 Yen for Red). All are currently scheduled for release in March 2019!

Stay tuned to TokuNation for all RyuSoulger reveals!

ACCESS FLASH!

It’s hard to believe that Max Factory is now coming out with five Figmas from Studio Trigger’s SSSS.Gridman anime. The latest one is to join the list is the Initial Fighter recolor of the upcoming Figma SSSS.Gridman.

A Twitter post from the official SSSS.Gridman Twitter account reveals that this figure will come exclusively bundled with the DVD/Blu-Ray release of the anime so while a price point and release date have yet to be announced, we’re not expecting this to be cheap.
