Toei has released a pair of trailers for this summers’ Super Sentai & Kamen Rider double-billed theatrical release!

First up, in LupinRanger VS PatRanger En Film– LupinRed and Patren 1 must set aside their differences to work together after the remaining Rangers are captured by the Ganglers. Along the way, they will encounter legendary detective Herlock Sholmes and unlock a brand-new VS Vehicle– the Jackpot Striker!

Next, the adventure continues in Kamen Rider Build: Be The One! Surprisingly, this film takes place AFTER the events of Builds’ series- the Rider War has ended & the country is united under a new government. Unfortunately, this government triggers a BUILD ANNIHILATION PLAN and the once-venerated hero becomes a target of every citizen in the country. Aiding in this Annihilation Plan is a powerful new Rider- Kamen Rider Blood!

Both films are currently scheduled for release on August 4 2018!

Boom Studios via our friends at PowerRangersNow has just announced a brand new Graphic Novel: Power Rangers Soul of the Dragon!

Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon will be an all-new story featuring the legendary Tommy Oliver during his retirement life who sets out to find his missing son while the SPD Rangers take charge of defending the Earth.

Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon will be written by Kyle Higgens, author of the fan favorite Mighty Morphin Power Rangers ongoing series. You can look forward to reading Power Rangers: Soul of the Dragon in September 2018. You can find the official synopsis below: 

As a young adult, Tommy Oliver set upon a journey that would inspire hundreds of Power Rangers that would come afterward, thwarting evils like Empress Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, and King Mondo of the Machine Empire. Now, Tommy’s retired with Katherine and leaves protecting the world to Space Patrol Delta–including his son, JJ. But when Jake disappears, presumed dead after an undercover mission goes wrong, Tommy will call on all his training, his friends, and maybe even some of his enemies as he sets out on one last mission: find his son and bring him home. From writer Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Nightwing) comes the final story for history’s mightiest Power Ranger.

“Long live Shocker!”

After the defeat of the great Doctor Shinigami, the Shocker Army needed a new general to command it’s forces in Japan. To destroy the Kamen Riders, a member of their American west coast organization was recruited. The deadly and dangerous, Ambassador Hell! Capable of assuming a Kaijin form as Gargaranda, the Ambassador is a force of pure evil in his humanoid form as well. Utilizing his trademark whip to bind his enemies and rally his forces, S.H. Figuarts Ambassador Hell is here to build a new Shocker Army all his own!

Ambassador Hell joins the line at a time when the original Showa Kamen Rider series is getting more releases than it ever has. Expanding to villains has been something that S.H. Figuarts has always struggled with thanks to lower than average sales numbers. But the iconic greats like this can go a long way to reviving them in toy form. Joining the ranks of the various Shocker Combatmen on or coming to market this year, Ambassador Hell is a wonderfully interesting figure, though with a few faults. He’s sure to menace your Seihou Rider 1 & Rider 2 quite well though.

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery to this post, but you can also read our full review of S.H. Figuarts Ambassador Hell after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll see you soon again for another action packed gallery!
