We’ve only just recently had our cast reveal, and yet more information for the much anticipated Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger has come our way.

The following information comes from CraneJoe, who lists a Ryusoul Gold Sentai Hero series vinyl in June and DimeVolcano as the next Mecha. This seems to suggest that we may be getting our 6th team member earlier compared to past series.

In addition, CraneJoe lists a DX KishiryuOh set which presumably contains all five mecha for the main team due out in April for 13,400 yen.

Of course, the scans themselves have yet to come out. But given CraneJoe’s track record, we have reason to believe that this information is accurate. Still, please take this with a grain of salt until we get more information.

FUTURE TIME!

New information regarding the future of Kamen Rider Zi-O toys has surfaced. A post from Cranejoe himself suggests that Zi-O and Woz could be due for future upgrades and additional powers.

The post from Crane Joe suggests that we’ll be getting two new Ride Watches in the future: The DX Woz Ginga Miraide Watch and the DX Grand Zi-O Ride Watch. The former will be released in June, and the latter in May both retailing for 3,200 yen.

Keep in mind that the scans themselves have yet to drop, but CraneJoe has been accurate in the past so we have reason to believe that this listing could be true. Still, until the official toy catalog gets scanned so do take this posting with a grain of salt.

AM-A-ZOOON!

When we last looked at Figureoh magazine, the scans revealed an S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement two-pack featuring Kamen Rider Amazon Omega and Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha in bloody decos.

Since the last time we looked at these bloody boys, the pre-order page has now gone live at the time of this writing and with that, we have some new images that were released via the P-Bandai pre-order page.

Pre-Orders for this set will open February 8th 2019 and will ship out sometime July 2019 with a suggested retail price tag of 11,880 yen before shipping and middleman fees apply.


Perfect opportunity for those that may have missed out on these two figures the first go around. In the meantime, our very own Den-O took photos of the original non-blood-soaked versions of these figures so if your on the fence about these Figures be sure to check out the galleries below.

The end of an era has arrived for Super Sentai.

Long-time suit actor Hideaki Kusaka has announced that this weekends’ finale of Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger will be his final performance in tokusatsu.

Kusaka has been a mainstay in Super Sentai since 1980’s Denshi Sentai Denziman and has been the performer inside virtually all major Super Sentai Mecha costumes- he is currently portraying both LupinKaiser & PatKaiser in LupinRanger VS PatRanger.

In addition, Kusaka has been the performer for several Super Sentai heroes- including DekaMaster from DekaRanger and Shou Ronpo in KyuRanger.

We here at TokuNation extend our best wishes to Hideaki Kusaka and hope he enjoys his retirement. Thank you for decades of entertainment!

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!
