Entertainment Weekly has posted the first image for the upcoming 2019 Legendary Pictures film- Godzilla: King Of The Monsters!

Director Michael Dougherty gives some insight into this film, a sequel to 2014’s “Godzilla” release-


“The world is reacting to Godzilla in the same way we would react to any other terrifying incident, in that we are overreacting,” says Dougherty, whose previous credits include the horror movie Krampus. Godzilla hasn’t been seen since that destructive finale, “but there’s paranoia and endless speculation about whether he is the only one out there or whether we’re threatened by others like his kind.”

In addition, it seems Godzilla might not be the ONLY Kaiju in this story!


King of the Monsters makes it enormously clear that there are other big beasts, notably the three-headed King Ghidorah, the giant insect Mothra, and another flying monster, Rodan, who in the original Japanese movies could create hurricane-force winds.

“Rodan’s been kind of a sidekick character, but I’ve always had a soft spot for him” says Dougherty. “In a lot of ways he’s more powerful than Godzilla. He’s like this winged A-bomb. I think we’ve done him justice.” But let’s not forget Godzilla himself, who reveals he has the ability to exhale “atomic breath.” Can Dougherty expand on that description? “Not without giving away too much,” he laughs. “But it takes place at a very key moment and it’s a sort of call to arms.”

Godzilla: King Of The Monsters is currently scheduled for release on May 31 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on the Legendary MonsterVerse!

This impressive set recreates both devices to the finest details including the Battleraizer’s cradle.

We have a better look at the suit of the upcoming Kamen Rider Zi-O! As an anniversary season it does seem that Kamen Rider Zi-O will be utilizing past Riders/Legend Riders as part of the power up motif.

A second form is also present although at the time of this post we are unsure if it is a second Kamen Rider or if this is a different form (think A.M. vs P.M.). We won’t have to wait too much longer for more information so stay tuned for more news on Kamen Rider Zi-O!

“You boys, never stood a chance against me.”

After devastating Mars, the extraterrestrial being Evolt came to Earth seeking to repeat this tragedy. To rebuild his arsenal & powers and become a complete being once again, he would play the long game of manipulating humans to do his bidding. Helping to create Faust, the Rider System, and taking on the guise of Blood Stalk, Evolt has meddled in human affairs for a over a decade. Now, he can also meddle with your collection thanks to the release of S.H. Figuarts Blood Stalk! 

Blood Stalk sees the return of the well received mold created for Night Rogue with a few key changes to give Stalk his trademark Cobra theme. As ever this mold is nicely poseable and full of personality. But it’s the accessories that really sell it. Thanks to a full compliment of hands, a functional Transteam Rifle, and some new Steam Effect parts. This mold will undoubtedly return at least a third time for Mad Rogue and I eagerly await it!

For now though, you can check out our full review and complete 80 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Blood Stalk after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back later this week with a review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo!

While they never officially announced the the Power Rangers Zeo Legacy Super Zeo Gems, the listing was discovered (and shared) with us via Amazon.com earlier this year. Today on Twitter, Bandai America responded to @PowerRangerTalk stating: “Yeah this one unfortunately isn’t happening anymore. Again, with the changeover a lot of things have been thrown into limbo/taken off the table. The good news is, there are still a few items up our sleeve that we haven’t announced yet that we’re extremely excited about!”.

However, they do have some surprises left in store for the Power Rangers line before Hasbro takes over in Spring 2019. Stay tuned for more news and information from Bandai America here at TokuNation!
