Street Fighter is having one heck of a 30th anniversary while Power Rangers enjoys it’s 25th. After the hugely celebrated Street Fighter update for the Power Rangers Legacy Wars mobile game, this latest news makes perfect sense.

Produced by Bat In The Sun, known for their incredible Super Power Beat Down videos, we have the announcement of a Legacy Wars Live Action Web Series featuring both Power Rangers & Street Fighter! 

We wont spoil the content of the teaser trailer on the front page, though you can watch it below. But suffice it to say, this is a ground breaking project for both franchises and opens the door for some very powerful possibilities.

Thanks to TokuNation user PsychoPurple we have our first far off look at Hasbro’s booth for San Diego Comic Con! In particular, for Power Rangers!

While no toys are on display Hasbro has produced a classy display with the original MMPR White Ranger suit encased in glass. Next to it is a video feed featuring white ranger footage from across the 3 seasons of MMPR as well.

This display is likely a mere tease of things to come. As any Marvel or Transformer collector knows, Hasbro updates their displays often through out SDCC. We’ll keep you informed with every single update as it happens.

under Conventions, Kamen Rider, Other Conventions

Tamashii Nations 2018 is just around the corner, and thanks to the official @t_features twitter we have confirmation of the two tokusatsu exclusives for the show.

First up is a repaint of the well received Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1 S.H. Figuart in Sakurajima colors. Since Tamashii seems to be working backwards from the “Shin Rider 1” design, how long until we get Hongo in his original colors? Rider 1 will retail for 6480 yen.

“Oh no!” The Black Hazard arrives continuing the pattern of black repaint event exclusives with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Rabbit/Tank Hazard Form! With Hazard confirmed at last, could we see Rabbit/Rabbit or Tank/Tank as well as Genius on the horizon? Here’s hoping. Hazard Form will retail for 6480 yen as well.

Both exclusives will be available at Tamashii Nations 2018, October 26th-28th.

under Kamen Rider

New information for the upcoming series Kamen Rider Zi-O is slowly making its way out!

This time, we get to see a few more samples of the RideWatch Armor that grants this new Rider his powers. By activating a RideWatch in the Jikan Driver Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates can obtain the powers of past Kamen Riders!

The Armors currently shown are:


*Kamen Rider Wizard
*Kamen Rider Drive
*Kamen Rider Ghost
*Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
*Kamen Rider W
*Kamen Rider Fourze
*Kamen Rider OOO
*Kamen Rider Gaim

Additional RideWatches are shown for the remaining Heisei-Era Kamen Riders but their armors have not yet been detailed in full.

under Power Rangers

The end of the Shattered Grid is approaching. While the last appearance in the main book will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 30, there will be a one-shot double sized Shattered Grid Finale issue released which will show us the end (?) of Lord Drakkon!

BOOM! Studios has shared the wrap around holofoil cover variant for the finale special. Check it out! Hello there Power Rangers Beast Morphers!

under Kamen Rider

At long last the full merchandise catalog for the next Kamen Rider series has been revealed- detailing the powers and abilities of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

*Both Zi-O and the counterpart Kamen Rider Gates use the Jikan Driver to henshin. This Driver uses a primarily digital display and changes format depending on Zi-O’s attacks- the most powerful move is listed as FINISH TIME.

*The Riders gain new powers from the RideWatches– small items with the faces of past Kamen Riders! These can be stored in the RideWatch Holder or compiled in the RideWatch Dizer for a combination attack! The RideWatches are not limited only to past Kamen Riders- some watches actually represent ITEMS from past shows, including the Suika Arms from Kamen Rider Gaim. The first catalog covers ALL Heisei-era Kamen Riders!

*By using the RideWatches, Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates will obtain armor based on a previous Kamen Rider design. The first configurations shown in the Rider Kicks action figure line show Kamen Rider Ghost, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider OOO & Kamen Rider Decade!

*Zi-O’s signature weapon is the Jikan Gilade– a sword that becomes a gun. Meanwhile, Gates is armed with the Jikan Zax– a crossbow that turns into an axe. A third weapon known as the Ride HeiSaber is also on display, which channels the powers of past Kamen Riders for attacks.

*Kamen Rider Zi-O’s motorcycle is known as the Ride Striker and is summoned from a unique RideWatch.

*Last but CERTAINLY not least, Kamen Rider Zi-O has a giant Mecha! Known as the Time Majin, this robo will change forms & attacks based on what RideWatch is equipped.

Kamen Rider Zi-O is currently scheduled to begin on September 2 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation between now & then as we keep you up to date on this exciting new Rider series!

under Godzilla

A new prototype sculpt image has surfaced online, potentially giving fans a look at the next monstrous entity to be introduced in the upcoming Legendary Pictures film Godzilla: King Of The Monsters!

As reported by Godzilla-Movies.com the famous flying Kaiju RODAN is scheduled to appear in the film according to preproduction reports. This sculpture is said to represent Rodan’s new design, and does seem to be in-line with Legendary’s Godzilla appearance.

However, this reveal of Rodan has not been confirmed by official sources at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

under Kamen Rider

The past few days have given us some impressive teasers for the next Kamen Rider series, but now at last we have a look at the first official bits of merchandise for Kamen Rider Zi-O!

In case you missed it, Kamen Rider Zi-O had it’s big showing a just a few days ago with the first round of toy catalog scans have appeared online. At the time of the posting, only the Gashapon scans were available to us but J-Hero.com posted a potential list for the first quarter DX Toy releases.

While J-Hero claims that this list was provided to him by a vendor, we have no way of proving if this list is legitimate or not so, for now, please do take this bit of news with a grain of salt, and as always: stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you with more updates on this as it becomes available.
