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!
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!
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!
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!
A photo for the next Rider Hero Series vinyl figures has been posted online, showing off the new Kamen Rider Zi-O and the counterpart Rider, tentatively known as Kamen Rider Gates. This is our best look yet at the new suits for this Kamen Rider project!
Be sure to join in our Kamen Rider Zi-O Rumor Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this new Kamen Rider series!
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.
Last month we received a teaser for a new Power Rangers Legacy figure exclusive to GameStop.
Now, after much speculation this new Legacy figure is at last available to order!
The figure in question is a Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger and includes the Dragon Shield, Dragon Dagger, Blade Blaster & Power Sword. An excellent “last-hurrah” of sorts for the Legacy series!
Legacy Armored Red Ranger is currently scheduled for release in November 2018! The price is a very modest $22.99 USD before shipping and handling!
“Zero Gear.”
Kiriya Kujou once made the ultimate sacrifice in the battle against Kuroto Dan. But in a universe full of game worlds, living viruses, and super deformed super heroes, it’s no wonder that the coroner with a cause would return! Making a return to the battlefield in our latest gallery, is S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo Bike Gamer Level 0!
Lazer Turbo once again utilizes the popular and wonderful Ex-Aid body type to full effect. A solid mold with ample articulation, Lazer looks just as stylish as ever. Though armed lightly with the Gashacon Sparrow, it can split into it’s Sickle Modes as well and even features an improved connection tab. Looking stylish riding himself (Lazer Level 2) or teaming up with himself (Lazer Level 5), Lazer Level 0 is another welcome addition to your Ex-Aid collection.
We’ve attached the complete 50 image gallery to this post and you can check out the full review thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a number of galleries from Garo, Ultraman Orb, Kamen Rider Build, and the original Kamen Rider soon!
INSTALL, MEGARANGER!
Well, it’s certainly beginning to look like the year of Megaranger as we have a double whammy of toy reveals. Not to be outdone by the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer & Battleraizer shown previously, but Super Minipla will also be diving into Denji Sentai Megaranger. We have our first look at Super Minipla Galaxy Mega & Delta Mega in grey prototype form. While not much about these kits are known, we can only assume that they’ll retain full transformation from their DX counterparts and the ability to combine into a little Super Galaxy Mega.
At the moment, no release date or price was given but stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll be sure to provide you updates as they become available.
It’s that time of year again folks! Kamen Rider Build is sadly drawing to a close, and as we say our farewells a new hero rises to take his place: Kamen Rider Zi-O who was revealed earlier in the week.
Not long after the reveal, our first toy catalog scans are beginning to surface online thanks to Twitter user @Tokullector and translations from @SpecialForm12
A few things worth noting from the translations:
Do note that what we are seeing are scans for the Gashapon toys, we’ll be seeing scans for the DX stuff in the next few days. In the meantime, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you more updates as they become available.
Bandai Japan has put up an official product page for the next entry in the Super Sentai Artisan line!
