We’ve been sharing Toys’R’Us news stories on our Twitter account @TokuNation a lot lately. The reason we’re doing that is because as a site that frequently promotes toys and collectibles, losing the largest toys and collectibles retailer in the world is kind of a big deal.

Toys’R’Us is expected to file liquidation papers today (Wednesday) to give to the court tomorrow (Thursday). This will officially mark the end of Toys’R’Us in the United States as we know it. A report from the Wall Street Journal states that CEO David Brandon announced to home office personnel in a conference call today (Wednesday) that the company is filing liquidation papers today for the court hearing tomorrow (Thursday).

Earlier today, Toys’R’Us UK also announced liquidation with all UK stores closing within the next 6 weeks. Toys’R’Us Canada is seemingly in a better place financially with no updates on their situation, and Toys’R’Us Asia is actually profitable and is expected to be sold to other shareholders in China turning them in to majority shareholders and giving them control of business operations.

A report from CNBC has come out stating that Toys’R’Us may also keep up to 200 US stores open after liquidation, combining those stores with the Toys’R’Us Canada operation, effectively making Toys’R’Us (in the US at least) a Canadian retailer operating in the United States. Those 200 stores would undoubtedly be profitable stores with favorable real estate deals. However, at the time of this posting, there is no concrete information available to share on that note.

As more news breaks we will share it with you. A complete liquidation of US Toys’R’Us stores will result in a 33,000 loss of employees, making it the largest retailer to shut down (in terms of employee size) since Sports Authority went out of business at the end of 2016. Our thoughts are with all the families suffering with the fate of their future paychecks.

“Red Fists Burning In A Blaze! Blue Chained Puzzles In A Craze!“

The latest release from Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has arrived and the Bugster Parad is here to prove he’s still on Emu’s level! Using the powerful Gashat Gear Dual with a Gamer Driver produces a unique fusion of Parad’s two powerful level 5o forms as S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Para-DX Perfect Knockout Gamer Level 99!

Para-DX Level 99 is so far the 2nd figuart we’ve gotten of this character (along with the L Mighty Brother), but this time it’s quite a bite more of a unique one. Level 99 is a powerful and imposing looking form with an array of special abilities. In figure terms, Level 99 is a gorgeously ornate figure that despite the loincloth/skirt has a dynamic range of movement that brings him to life. Armed with the Gashcon Parabragun and 3 sets of hands, Para-DX Level 99 should be a welcome addition for any Ex-Aid Display.

We’ve attached the full gallery of 60+ images to this post, but you can also check out our full review of Para-DX Level 99 by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in the near future with a trio of galleries from Pacific Rim Uprising as well some from Kamen Rider W and the original Kamen Rider TV series.

After a nearly 4 year long wait, and several appearances at Tamashii Nations events in the last year, a new Shinkocchou Seihou release is finally on the way from Kamen Rider Hibiki! Joining the ranks of this top quality sub-line of special releases is Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki!

Kamen Rider Ibuki was the secondary rider of Hibiki’s TV series. The youngest of the original 3 Oni of the series, Ibuki abandoned his human name (Iori Izumi) once he gained his powers. This figure appears to gorgeously replicate Ibuki every bit as well as the line did with Hibiki years ago. Ibuki will include his Ongekikan Reppuu trumpet-gun, a set of disc animals, his Oni Whistle for transforming, and several more accessories.

We don’t have the exact release details available yet, but given the release of these partial images, a full set as well as that retail information will be available shortly. We’ll update you as soon as we can! Credit to @_Erasu for digging up these initial images as well.

Thanks to our friends at PowerRangersNOW, we have our first look at the June covers for both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 028 (Kyle Higgins) and Go Go Power Rangers Issue 010 (Ryan Parrott). As you should be well aware, both titles will be in the midst of the Shattered Grid event, featuring the return of the evil Lord Drakkon as he attempts to transcend time and space to destroy ALL the Power Rangers, EVER.

Go Go Power Rangers Issue 010 will feature a new evil Power Ranger who works for Lord Drakkon – the Ranger Slayer – who will pilot an abomination of zord parts (featuring the Red Dragon Thunderzord, the Tigerzord, and Tor the Shuttle Zord) in an attempt to destroy the Power Rangers in the past to change the future.

In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Issue 028, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers split in to two teams – one with the Power Rangers Time Force and the other with Power Rangers RPM – in battles across worlds in a fading attempt to stop Lord Drakkon.

Check out all the images by clicking the title of the story! We cannot wait for Shattered Grid to begin (which it does later this month!).

For those of you who can remember 2017 (it’s been a minute already, we know!) one of the hardest items to obtain was a pre-order for the Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh. Promising a faithful release of the original figure but with modern day improvements (such as better paint deco, remolded pieces, and new accessories) the Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh sold out in pre-orders within just a couple of days.

Bandai Japan has recently updated their blog to give what would appear to be the final release version update on the upcoming Super Sentai Artisan DX DaiRenOh. The figure features brand new paint and looks incredible. The fists have been remolded, the sheath of the blade now matches what you saw in the show, and a second sword has been included so you can recreate the finishing move.

We’ve mirrored all the images here on the site. Click the title of the story to check them all out. Did you grab a pre-order for this? Sound off in discussion and let us know!

Also … you have until the end of the month to reach out to your middle man for a DX WonTiger, which as you know, can combine with the DX DaiRenOh.
