Warner Brothers has released a new extended trailer for their upcoming Kaiju feature-film, Godzilla: King Of The Monsters!
This latest preview shows the legendary creatures awakening for a battle of epic proportions.
In addition, a new poster has been released showing Godzilla at the height of his power and ready to take on any challenger.
Godzilla: King Of The Monsters will be released in theaters on May 31, 2019!
It’s best if you’ve seen episode 10 of SSSS.Gridman before reading this post, or you may spoil yourself on it.
Goodsmile has been showing off some updates recently on their upcoming Figma Gridman, a totally separate release from their 2019 releasing DX Gridman Assist Weapon set. Figma Gridman looks to be a bit more of stylized take on the character as a single action figure, is a bit larger than the one from the DX set, and doesn’t appear to be compatible with that. It’s still a gorgeous figure, but now it looks like a new companion piece is coming to go with it.
Making his debut in episode 10, Grid Knight is yet another new imagining of previously unused elements from the Gridman franchise. Twitter user @Mach_Dent has by far been proving to be one of the best resources for breaking down references and homages in SSSS.Gridman since it began. And this week he gives a fantastic breakdown of the elements that have led to Grid Knight’s origin. The Figma Grid Knight prototype is still hidden in shadow, very likely to conceal some of the more obvious spoilers about the character, but we can expect more updates soon.
It’s pretty wild that SSSS.Gridman now has 4 individual Figma’s in development with Akane, Rikka, Gridman, and Grid Knight simultaneously being teased out. Could these recent developments bode well for any more of the cast like Yuta, Anti, or Alexis? Let’s hope!
Try not to let the fantastic news about Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger take your thoughts too far from our annual holiday giveaway. Toku Toy Box is headed back to the Armour Zone today with a ferocious new gallery of S.H. Figuarts Crow Amazon!
Given special permission to create a new Sigma Type, the 4C organization salvaged the remains of Iyu Hoshino, after her father’s deadly Amazon rampage. A weapon capable of defeating other Amazons, the only one other Sigma ever created was Jun Maehara AKA Kamen Rider Amazon Sigma. With Iyu’s rebirth, she gained strength and abilities far beyond most Amazons. While not a particularly extraordinary figure, Figuarts Crow feature’s some truly gorgeous sculpted details. Certainly more versatile than she first appears, Crow Amazon is a wonderful companion to Amazon Neo, or in fact any growing Amazons collection.
We’ve attached the full 40+ image gallery to this post but you can also read our full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we head to the windy city of Fuuto once again! And if you need a refresher on the rules of Toku Toy Box then give them a quick read.
New details are emerging about the 43rd Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger!
An official logo has been released for the series, giving us the best look yet at the new suits and the full appearance of the main Mecha, Kishi RyuOh.
In addition, some extra information about the series’ collectible gimmick- the RyuSouls has been revealed. The Souls are small figures resembling dinosaur heads that can transform into medieval-knight styled figures. Each Soul unlocks a different power for the Ryusougers-along with special armor forms.
A brief story outline for the new series is also available:
“Before… There were knights who fought their archenemy ‘Druidon” using the powers of ancient dinosaurs. They were called Ryusouger. They rode their partner dinosaurs, the Kishiryu, and the days of their fierce fight using the Ryusouls that house their souls unraveled.No release date has been confirmed at time of writing but if Super Sentai patterns hold, we can expect to see Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger in late January/early February 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!
At long last we have the first images of the 43rd Super Sentai team- Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger!
Digging back into the Toei well, this series appears to be DINOSAUR themed!
*This new team will consist of five members- Red T-Rex, Blue Triceratops, Pink Ankylosaurus Green Sabertooth, & Black Stegosaurus. Each Ranger is referred to as a “Knight” in the listings.
*The Ryusougers’ powers come from Ryu Souls– miniature device resembling dinosaur heads that transform into knights & can fit into their henshin device (the Ryusou Changer! This device activates with the phrase “RyuSou Cool!” Extra Ryu Souls are stored in the Ryu Soul Buckle.
*Each Ranger is armed with the Ryu SouKen– a Gun/Sword sidearm.
*The teams’ main Mecha will be Red’s T-Rex- which has a unique form, KishiRyuOh! Other Ryusougers can form weapons & armor for KishiRyuOh- when the first three Knights come together, a combination known as KishiRyuOh Three Knights! Additional combos are shown based on the other Knights- KishiRyuOh TigerLance and KishiRyuOh MiNeedle!
Definitely some exciting times ahead for Super Sentai fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!
“A transformation into a more mature style, perfect for formal occasions.”
The tradition of the Hyper Battle Video (and the rider forms exclusive to them) dates all the way back to Kamen Rider Kuuga, though that special did not feature an exclusive form for him. To this date none of the various HBV exclusive rider forms have ever had figuarts produced of them and likely never will either. In a search to rectify that case for Kamen Rider Drive, I stumbled across a fantastic artist & customizer. @relgnadam on twitter. Thankfully relgnadam had actually already created the form I was looking for, and after some correspondence agreed to recreate one more time for me, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type High Speed! For Toku Toy Box today we’re taking a look at this magnificent work of art in the full gallery below!
I’ve followed relgnadams blog for some time now, which you can find here, madangler blog. You may be familiar with some of his more recent projects such as re-creating Dark Drive’s future ride the NEXTridoron or his brilliant work recreating fully poseable Cronus robes. Relgnadam is a professional, and his work is a labor of love. He tirelessly recreates figures and vehicles down to the most minute detail, with absolute precision. I was ridiculously happy to be able to come to an agreement on the Type High Speed custom you see today, and having it in hand after a little over a year of anticipation, I am nowhere near disappointed.
We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery of this impressive custom piece to this post, but you can also check out our review by clicking the link below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to our full review thread! In a couple days we’ll be back with another Toku Toy Box gallery, and this time, we’re headed back into the Armour Zone….
In case you missed it, Bandai announced the second set of Another Ride Watches was coming on the horizon, and since we initially posted that article, the pre-order link for Another Watch Vol 2 is now live. With that, we now have pricing, release info, along with the two previously unknown mystery Ride Watches revealed.
As many have speculated, the then-unknown Watches will belong to Another Ghost and Another Kuuga, in addition to Gaim, W, Den-O, and OOO. Another Watch Vol.2 will retail on P-Bandai’s website for 3,564 yen and will ship sometime in May 2019.
To celebrate the return of the Destroyer Of Worlds, Premium Bandai has announced a special new release of Kamen Rider Decade‘s signature henshin device- the DecaDriver!
Labeled as the Neo DecaDriver this new device is an upgrade on Kamen Rider Decade’s original powers now granting Tsukasa the ability to henshin into ALL Heisei-Era Kamen Riders; from Kamen Rider Kuuga to Kamen Rider Zi-O!
To properly channel these new abilities, the Neo DecaDriver includes Kamen Ride and Final Attack Ride cards for all Heisei Riders, along with Decade’s original Final Form Ride cards.
The DX Neo DecaDriver is currently scheduled for release in March 2019! The price is a very modest 9180 Yen before shipping and handling.
“Black Hazard! Oh no!”
Toku Toy Box is kicking off strong this year with a dangerous and deadly gallery from Kamen Rider Build! An item of unmatched power, based upon something even more ancient and powerful, the Hazard Trigger was given to Sento Kiryu by Blood Stalk. Using it’s uncontrollable power, the black hazard, Kamen Rider Build Rabbit Tank Hazard Form emerges! For better or worse Sento must use this dangerous power to fight. Now we take a look at the Tamashii Nations 2018 event exclusive S.H. Figuart of this form!
A brilliant repaint and remold of the original Build Rabbit/Tank mold, Build Hazard is sleek and sexy. A form that gives off an aura of power and danger, Hazard Form is easily one of the best Build releases in the line so far. All of the same standard articulation from the original mold is back, but we get a really gorgeous and fierce new helmet design and some fantastic new shoulder pad designs. While Hazard includes a few hands for posing, the truly impressive accessories with this figure are the Hawk/Gattling Hazard Form parts! We get a new head, the Hawk Gattlinger weapon, and the Taka & Gattling Full Bottles. More Figuarts should come with swap out accessories such as this.
We’ve attached the full 80 image gallery of this impressive release to this post, but you can also check out our lengthy review by clicking the link below. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to our full review thread! In a couple days we’ll be back with another Toku Toy Box gallery, and this time, it’ll be of a truly impressive custom figure we’ve been waiting over a year to share with you!
Once again it’s the time of year that the community and our staff love most – time for all of us to celebrate our respective holidays & traditions with the friends and loved ones we hold dear. But it’s also time for TokuNation.com to celebrate itself. Our little community is hitting another milestone this year, our 7 year anniversary!! January 4th 2019, will officially mark 7 years since TokuNation first went public as part of the network of TFW2005.COM, ToyArk.com, and HissTank.com through both network owner Tony_Bacala and our founder and original Editor-In-Chief, TokuChris.
For 7 years now we’ve posted news, rumors, toy galleries, videos, and even dabbled in podcasts for a bit (never forget Talkin Toku!). As times have changed we’ve done our best to change with them, delivering you content in different ways, covering new and exciting topics, and trying to improve our social outreach. This year we even had some leadership changes as I took over full time as Editor-In-Chief from our founder and my dear friend Toku Chris. But the more things change, the more they stay the same as well! There’s one constant that’s been with us since our first year – the annual Toku Toy Box giveaway!

You’ll recall that in years’ past giveaways, users could post in a selection of galleries within the contest period to automatically be entered into the drawing for several prizes. This year however we’ve opened things up. Not only will we be posting a number of eligible galleries throughout the month of December, but every gallery we’ve posted in 2018 also makes you eligible! If you’ve already posted in the 1 of the over 40 galleries we’ve produced this year, then you’re already entered. If not, you already have over 40 chances with more on the way this month!
