With the latest round of magazine scans hitting the Internet, it is time to see what lies ahead for Kaito Sentai LupinRanger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger!
*A new DialFighter is added to the LupinRangers’ arsenal- the Cyclone DialFighter! This green helicopter can create electrically-charged tornadoes & replaces the left arm in the teams’ LupinKaiser configuration (a combo known as LupinKaiser Cyclone.)
*Not to be left out, the PatRangers’ receive a new TriggerMachine for combat- the TriggerMachine Biker! This blue motorcycle links with PatKaiser to create PatKaiser Biker and allows the Mecha to strike enemies from a distance with a gigantic YoYo.
Interestingly, the scans appear to show each team using THE OTHERS’ new machines at one point- suggesting there may be some collaboration in the future between the police and the thieves!
Last but not least, a new Gangler villain will be joining the show- Zamigo Delma is a mysterious figure with a dark connection to the LupinRangers’ past.
Definitely some exciting times ahead for the 42nd Super Sentai Series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all LupinRanger VS PatRanger reveals!
In the last 7 years I’ve had the opportunity to review some seriously unique and interesting pieces for this website. Honestly though I think nothing has ever been quite as unique as what I have to share with you today. I’ve recently come into possession of a special Pre-Production Factor Sample of the S.H. Figuarts Hakaider Squad! While Kikaider & Hakaider related products may not necessarily be something of personal interest to each of you, this figure offers us a rare look at what goes into the process of creating a repaint and remold of a previous release.
Yes, this figure is indeed a true blue working sample used to model new parts. At it’s base level it’s your standard Hakaider body. But after disassembly and study, you can see several areas where new parts from the final Hakaider Squad figures were integrated for testing purposes. The new biceps and face are dead giveaways. More than that though we also have the anti-theft paint job, as well as the trademark hole drilled through the figures’ chest that numerous Tamashii display samples have had through out the years.
We’ve attached the full 40 image gallery of this unique item to this post, but please read through the in depth breakdown of what makes this factory sample what it is after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread.
Next time, “Rabbit! Tank! Best Match!”
Did you hear that? If you weren’t listening closely you might have missed it. In episode 04 of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, the episode titled “Making Waves“, a new Power Rangers theme, a rendition of the classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme song, had a debut. In the final battle with the monster of the week, the Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel – aboard a new Megazord – launched their final attack to destroy the monster. Playing in the background was a new theme song. We have uploaded it to YouTube for your listening pleasure – check it out below.
Power Rangers Ninja Steel was known to use many different renditions of the Power Rangers theme song, having utilized versions of both Power Rangers Samurai and Power Rangers Dino Charge. This new rendition begins using the same track as Power Rangers Samurai, but quickly has new vocals and a new rendition of the classic guitar backtrack from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme song. The chorus goes:
Go Go Power Rangers!
Go Go Power Rangers!
Go Go Power Rangers, All Together Power Rangers!
The previous series under Saban Brands have had choruses that do the following:
Go Go Power Rangers!
(Don’t you ever stop – Dino Charge)
Go Go Power Rangers!
(You will rise up to the top – Dino Charge)
– Rangers Together, Samurai Forever! (Power Rangers Samurai)
– Rangers Forever, Megaforce! All Together! (Power Rangers Megaforce)
– Rangers Forever, Dino Charge! All Together! (Power Rangers Dino Charge)
So Ranger Nation what do you think? Is it a cool throwback? Sound off in our episode discussion!

“Masquerase!”
Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger is about to enter it’s third week. So continuing our coverage of the merchandise released so far, we’re revisiting the show with 3 more entries in the Sentai Hero Collection line of vinyls. Lupin Red, Lupin Blue, & Lupin Yellow!
As with the Patrangers these Hero Collection vinyls offer an affordable option for you to own your favorite characters that may not necessarily receive figures in other toylines. In many cases these vinyls offer 1 of few, if not the only option for you to collect a particular hero. That was what drove me to pick them up myself. The Lupinranger designs are very slick, if a bit more limited in this line than your average release. Vinyls may not do much, but as static display pieces they get the job done. Be sure to go back and check out our Patrangers gallery as well!
We’ve attached over 35 images to this post, but you can also check out the full review after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’ll be back with the formula for victory with a gallery from Kamen Rider Build!

With Toy Fair New York 2018 winding to a close, Fortune.com sat down with Brian Goldner, the CEO of Hasbro Inc., and spoke regarding the acquisition of the master toy license of the Power Rangers brand. Speaking with Susie Gharib of Fortune.com, Brian Goldner had this to say about the Power Rangers brand:
“It’s a very young-skewing brand so that the youngest consumer really loves that story, that fun kitsch humor that comes along with that action and adventure of Power Rangers. And then today there’s all these kids who are now adults, are fans of the brand and we think there’s a great opportunity in that fan economy to talk to the Power Ranger fan and give them the products they’re looking for.”
Saban Brands, the parent company of Power Rangers, recently announced both their separation from Bandai America, the toy company that has produced Power Rangers toys for the last 25 years, and subsequently announced their new partnership with Hasbro.
Brian Goldner finishes by saying “We think this brand can be far bigger in our hands over time than it has been in the past.” Join in your thoughts and expectations in our on-going discussion regarding the acquisition of the Power Rangers toy line by Hasbro.
