While a heavily watermarked scan from Figure Oh appeared yesterday confirming that this release was on the way, we now have a great selection of in hand images as well. The next release from Kamen Rider Build will be S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros!

The combined form of Engine Bros & Remocon Bros, Hell Bros is the first of the Kaiser family of characters to be released in the line. The official S.H. Figuarts Blog has shared this selection of in hand prototype images giving us a great idea of what to expect from the final release. Based on the excellent Night Rogue/Blood Stalk mold, Hell Bros looks like he’ll fit in just perfectly with your Build Collection.

While release month & price are not included in the blog post, we do know that pre-orders will begin through the Tamashii Web Shop on July 27th. We’ll let you know when final official images, and release info are available.

As Kamen Rider Build approaches its final episodes, new merchandise has come to light. Premium Bandai is set to release the DX Last Pandora Panel White, Last Pandora Panel Black, and Black Lost Bottles Set. These items play a prominent role in the later episodes, with the Black Lost Bottles being an important plot point. While the Pandora Panels are just repaints of the original Pandora Panel, two of the Lost Bottles are only obtainable in this set- the Hasami (Scissors) and Spanner Lost Bottles. While collectors may already have a majority of these Lost Bottles in their original silver and purple color scheme, this black and gold set is a perfect opportunity to obtain the ones that are harder to find, such as Kuwagata and CD. 

The set is now available for preorder, priced at 8640 yen with a January 2019 release date.

Displayed with the Super Mini-Pla Shogun Megazord are the Super Mini-Pla Megazord, Super Mini-Pla Dragonzord, Super Mini-Pla Titanus, and the combined Super Mini-Pla Ultrazord. The latter are all currently available at your favorite hobby retailers online and in stores.

Fans of the Netflix documentary series The Toys That Made Us have been wondering for some time now if the show might explore tokusatsu and any related merchandise.

Well, wonder no more!

Announced at San Diego Comic-Con, the documentary series’ third season will be taking a look at the Power Rangers franchise- exploring the development of the original television show & the related action figure craze that followed, while examining later influences as well.

Sadly, no release date has been announced for The Toys That Made Us’ third season as of this writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

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.

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.
