Today represents a monumental occasion for fans of Kamen Rider and SH Figuarts!

Ever since this line of action figures began, one particular Kamen Rider has been noticeably absent from major release. But now, after ten long years of waiting (and meme-ing) the Fangire Hunter Kamen Rider Kiva finally gets his due!

Kamen Rider Kiva’s basic form has been recreated in exquisite details. The figure will include Kivat (his bat-robot sidekick) along with the six Fuestles used in-series to unlock Kiva’s alternate forms & attacks.

SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Kiva is currently scheduled for release in April 2019! The price is a modest 7560 Yen before shipping and handling.

These days tabletop roleplaying games are all the craze in the tokustasu community. Recently, Sandy Pug Games introduced a Kickstarter campaign for their tabletop roleplaying game “Americana”, a tabletop game set in the 1950’s but with all your favorite fantasy races living normal everyday lives in 1950’s America. That Kickstarter campaign has already reached its funding goal so it will be released! But now, they’ve introduced one of their stretch goals – a tokusatsu themed expansion! Introducing Super Americana Magic Force Go!

“Americana Magic Force Go is a tokusatsu tabletop RPG setting, taking place in that same fantasy 1950s, but instead of investigating a murder, the party is a group of teenagers given the power of legendary mythical beasts, charged with battling the evil werewolf dictator Xueh, who intends to conquer the world and seize the minds of the Earth’s werewolf population from their massive battle station, hanging high above the Arctic.”

Americana Magic Force Go will be, if funded, a fully developed new setting with mechanics to match – mirroring classic tokusatsu shows and films with an awesome escalation mechanic, unique character generation mechanics and a fantastic enemy creation system to provide the meanest, most special foes for your team to combat!

As previously stated – the game is already 100% funded! This is a $10,000 stretch goal (as of the time of the post they are less than $2,300 away with 11 days to go). There are plenty of different tiers you can choose from with varying prices. If you are interested we encourage you to check out the project, the stretch goal, and to consider contributing!

Everyone at Sandy Pug Games is really excited to make this project a reality, and we’re really looking forward to the stories and worlds our fellow tokusatsu lovers make!

Click here to check out the Kickstarter and to make your pledge! Special thanks to Sandy Pub Games for reaching out and sharing this exciting project with us and the rest of the tokusatsu community! Check out Sandy Pub Games at the links below!

EDITOR’S NOTE: TokuNation.com normally does not endorse crowd-funding campaigns due to continued abuse from creators (the Power Rangers community has been taken for well over $100,000 over years in campaigns that became funded yet never delivered on promised content). However, an exception was made as Sandy Pub Games has items already released in the tabletop RPG community. As always, you pledge to projects at your own discretion and risk.

Kamen Rider Zi-O’s first big feature film is headed to theaters December 22nd with Heisei Generations Forever. The third, and supposedly final installment in the Generations trilogy. While Zi-O’s TV series has already featured a number of Another Riders and a handful of proper Rider cameos, we now know that Heisei Generations Forever will feature the debut of 3 more such creatures.

According to Cinema Today JP, we now know that Another W, Another Den-O, and a brand new Imagin linked to Another Den-O, Futaros Imagin, will all make their debut in this film. Roughly speaking it would seem the implied meaning of the Futaros’ name is negative or minus, so this character makes sense to be the contract Imagin of Another Den-O (too bad Negataros was already taken!). But time will tell if this character is or is not, another foil for our heroes.  Both Another W & Den-O are sporting some truly wicked designs as previous Another Riders have.

Heisei Generations Forever hits Japanese theaters on December 22nd. Join our ongoing Zi-O News & Rumors discussion by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

under Power Rangers

Hasbro Inc., the toy company who recently purchased the entire intellectual property library from Saban Brands – including Power Rangers – may be looking at laying off a number of employees in different offices around the world (totaling a single percentage point of their workforce). Hasbro has two main offices in the United States – in Pawtucket, Rhode Island and also Burbank, California (though we have been told the Burbank office is newer and much smaller in comparison to the Pawtucket location, which serves as the main Hasbro headquarters).

While we do not know how, or if, this will effect anything in regards to the production of Power Rangers, we cannot help but cringe at another blow to the toy industry as a whole. As you may remember – the bankruptcy at Toys’R’Us caused major toy companies like Hasbro and Mattel to lose out on millions and millions of dollars owed to them which they were forced to take as a loss. Part of those losses, and the communication of those losses, have also resulted in a class action lawsuit against Hasbro by some of its investors and shareholders claiming securities fraud. Hasbro has strongly denied the allegations in the class action lawsuit and also claims any “tough decisions coming up” are not in relation to the lawsuit.

It’s not often we get to cover astronomical details in this line of work, but this deserves some attention!

NASA has officially named a star constellation after the legendary King Of The Monsters, Godzilla.

According to the official filing -The unique star cluster grouping is (theorized) to contain high levels of gamma-jet rays, similar to Godzilla’s own Atomic Breath.

A most deserving accolade for the legendary kaiju!

Recently, at Brand Licensing Europe, Licensing.org sat down with Casey Collins, Senior Vice President General Manager of Global Consumer Products at Hasbro, and discussed the future of the Power Rangers brand, and other brands, purchased by Hasbro from Saban Brands earlier this year. Here are some details!

  • Power Rangers Beast Morphers – 22 episode season in 2019 and in 2020 (44 total episodes over 2 years) will debut in February 2019
  • The vast majority of current license deals for the Power Rangers brand expire at the end of 2018 or 2019
  • Hasbro has been meeting with various companies regarding licensing for Power Rangers in Europe
  • A Power Rangers “live event” is in consideration for the future
  • New licensees will have a broader access to some categories previously limited by Saban Brands licensing deal with Bandai
  • “We want to work with best in-class partners and sometimes less is more”

Other bits of information worth noting is Hasbro is excited to own the Power Rangers entertainment side of things (the show) as it allows them to do more with the licensing with their partners. You will find Hasbro toys of Power Rangers in 2019 as well as back-to-school items, costumes, and party goods.

2019 is right around the corner and with it new and exciting Power Rangers products and entertainment. We can’t wait to see what is next!

It’s sexy time! That’s right Power Rangers fans – it’s time to power up your foreplay game in the bedroom and what better way to do it than to bring in everyones’ favorite Power Rangers series from 1993! Yandy.com has available (NOTE: link not safe for work), RIGHT NOW, sexy and sleek Mighty Morphin Power Rangers themed lingerie for you and/or your partner(s)! Yes, that’s right – Power Rangers lingerie.

Surprise your significant other(s) with the Red Ranger‘s white mesh panties, the Black Ranger‘s teasing teddy, the Pink Ranger‘s skirted lace panties, the Yellow Ranger‘s delicately trimmed and cut panties, the Blue Ranger‘s matching g-string, or the Green Ranger‘s boy shorts with a cheeky back cut!

In what can only be a massive oversight in licensing (is this even licensed?), the Green Ranger‘s sexy lingerie doesn’t come with a dragon shield. What a missed opportunity at turning the heart-wrenching and emotional loss of the Green Ranger‘s power in to a scene replayed in the bedroom time and time again.

The best part of all of this? The one-liners used to grab your attention. Rest in peace, Power Rangers In Space morph call – you will never be thought of the same. If this is your thing – go grab a pair and may the power protect you.
