The Tamashii Pickup reveals for the months of June & July have gone up through the Tamashii Nations website. And this month’s reveals bring us only one toku toy, but it’s certainly a good one. Hailing from the series Ultraman Ginga S is Ginga’s partner, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Victory!

Born from the powerful Victorium Stone, Ultraman Victory has the ability to Ultrans, gaining the powers of certain Spark Dolls in his right arm as a result. The good news is that the Victory Figuart can apparently replicate this ability. Though there’s only two Ultrans shown off, they’re both pretty big winners. We now know that Victory will include the EX Red King Knuckle as well as the Shepherdon Saber! This is of course thanks to scans popping up from this month’s Figure Oh, which of course also confirms a June release for Victory at 6480 yen. Victory is also a retail release.

Could Ultraman Ginga or perhaps even Ginga Strium be on the way to accompany Ultraman Victory? Time will tell, and we’ll let you know if it does!

The time has come for a new upgrade to Kamen Rider Zi-O!

This is our first full look at Kamen Rider Zi-O’s enhanced form, officially known as Kamen Rider Zi-O II! Thanks to the powers of a mysterious new gold & silver RideWatch the King Of Time’s power grows exponentially.

With the new form comes a brand-new weapon- the Saikyo Gilade! Zi-O II can combine this Saikyo with his previous Zikan Gilade to form the Saikyo Zikan Gilade!

And it seems a fearsome new opponent will be the genesis for this upgrade: Zi-O II is seen facing off against Another Ryuga, a dangerous new Another Rider from the Mirror World of Kamen Rider Ryuki!

Definitely some exiting times ahead for Kamen Rider Zi-O fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kamen Rider Zi-O Reveals.

The latest entries in the fan-favorite Super Minipla collector series have been revealed in full!

First up is the main Mecha from 1991’s Super Sentai series Chojin Sentai Jetman! The Celestial Fusion Jet Icarus is recreated in exquisite detail- with all five Jet Machines able to combine into either Jet Icarus or the attack craft Icarus Hawken. All of Jet Icarus’ weapons will be included with this release- the Birdonic Sabre, Wing Shield, Icarus Axe, Icarus Crusher, & Icarus Magna!

Not to be outdone, the second Jetman Mecha will also be included in Super Minipla. This is our first look at the Minipla Jet Garuda! The powerful craft is able to switch from Bird Garuda airship mode to Jet Garuda Robot Mode. In addition, the Garuda can combine with Jet Icarus in two forms- first in vehicle mode to create the Hyper Hawken or in Robot Mode to create the Great Icarus!

While price & release dates have not been confirmed at time of writing, it appears that the Jet Icarus is a standard retail release while Jet Garuda is a Premium Bandai item.

Toei has released the first preview for the upcoming Super Sentai crossover special, the Super Sentai Strongest Battle!

This four-week special will feature a number of Super Sentai heroes assembled for a tournament on a faraway planet, to determine the strongest hero in the universe.

Of particular note, this preview features the first appearance of the 43rd Super Sentai Series- Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger!

A very strange figure can be spotted fighting the Ryusoulger team- a knight, in purple armor, wielding the same RyuSoulKen sword weapon used by the rest of this team. Could this be our first hint at the SIXTH member of the Ryusoulger team? Or perhaps the signature opponent of the legendary Knights? Only time will tell!

The Super Sentai Strongest Battle begins on February 17 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting special release!

As Kamen Rider Zi-O marches on through time and space, more Legends of the Kamen Rider franchise are joining the series’ toyline! Bandai B-Boys has just updated their site this week with official images and release information for two more of these Legends joining the Rider Kicks Figures Legends line:

The popular mobile game Power Rangers Legacy Wars was released almost 2 years ago to quite a bit of excitement from fans. nWay games really struck a chord with fans of the franchise in creating the beat ’em up fighting game. However the game being limited to mobile has been the source of complaint from some fans. Now it looks as though nWay is about to take the game, or at least some version of it, to a wider market.

A trailer has appeared online (featuring Jason David Frank) showcasing what appears to be a new console & PC port of the game called Power Rangers Battle For the Grid. While nWay Games has yet to publicly reveal the game themselves, or even comment on the veracity of the trailer, it certainly looks like we’re about to get a console & PC port of the popular fighter. The game is reportedly set for an April 2019 release. Let us know what you think in the thread below!

If you’ve somehow managed not to pick up the multitude of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers DVD releases over the years – whether the individual season sets, the series set, the 20th Anniversary collector set, or the steelbook series set – you’re in luck because yet another release is on the horizon!

Shout! Factory has announced an upcoming steelbook DVD release of the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Containing the first 60 episodes of the series (otherwise known as Season 1) and a steelbook cover of the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger, this set is scheduled to release April 16th and is available to order directly from Shout! Factory for $27.99.

Fans continue to wait for an individual release of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie on Blu-Ray, which was available in the 25th Anniversary set released last year. As of the time of this story, Shout! Factory has not changed their stance from “It is currently only available in that set”.
