Thanks to user coolztoys at Rangerboard we have some up close in-package images of the upcoming Wave 5 figures from the Legacy Power Rangers 6.5″ Figures collection. Notably absent from the wave is the Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger and Zeo Pink Ranger, although Bandai America has issued a statement weeks ago that collectors should not worry because they are still releasing female figures (no images of the Wave 4 Zeo Yellow Ranger have surfaced yet and she was excluded from the first assortment of Wave 4).

The figures available in the first assortment of this wave appear to be:

– Dino Thunder Black Ranger
– Zeo Red Ranger
– Zeo Blue Ranger

We do not yet know the case assortment yet, but one could assume it will be Tommy-heavy in shipping (x3 and x2 on the Tommy figures, most likely). Stay tuned for more information as it comes available.

Thanks to Instagram user @powerrangerstoysau and @lestraque we have some in package images of the upcoming Legacy Zords. For those unawares, the Legacy Zords are larger scale articulated versions of the original Dino Zords. They come with a small Power Ranger pilot and do NOT combine or transform in any way shape or form.

The first wave consists of the Tyrannosaurus-Rex Zord and the Sabertooth Tiger Zord. Check out the images by clicking the title of the story.

NOTE: The prices on the packaging are NOT final prices for the United States, as they are located in a specialty store in Australia.

As a natural follow up to S.H.Figuarts Night Rouge, we now have confirmation that S.H.Figuarts Blood Stalk is coming our way who was discovered thanks to some data mining from Twitter user @_Erasu. Further release info is pending, but for now, we do know that he’ll include some nice steam effect parts as part of his accessory count.

“5th Gear!”

You’ve seen our previous galleries of the Drago Knight Hunter Z derived Level 5 forms for Kamen Riders Ex-Aid, Brave & Snipe. But now it’s time for Kiriya Kujou to shift into 5th Gear with his own form based on this Gashat! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Hunter Bike Gamer Level 5! 

Lazer Level 5 is an interesting release because frankly it’s one that many fans have settled for. At the time of it’s announcement, it was the only one of Lazer’s three humanoid rider forms to have been solicited for release. And while it shares elements with his more heavily favored Level 3 form, it’s just not the one that many collectors wanted. Now we know that Lazer Turbo Level 0 is on the way as well, Level 3 seems even more likely to happen in the future. So does this figure merit a spot in your collection? At least ti go with the rest of a 4-player co-op display? Check out our full review to decide for yourself.

We’ve attached the full 70 image gallery to this post, but you can also read the entire review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with a double sized gallery featuring two releases separated by nearly 4 years. It’s been too long since we’ve revisited the Showa Era!

A new trailer for the upcoming GARO project Kami No Kiba has been posted online! This film reunites the heroes of Garo: The One Who Shines In Darkness for one more adventure.

The series will begin filming in 2018, but sadly no other details are available at time of writing.

In the meantime, Jinga will serve as the primary antagonist for Kami No Kiba- which is currently scheduled for release on January 6 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all GARO details!

– Kamen Rider Brave

Following the release of Super Sentai Artisan DX Rairen’Oh last year Bandai teased us with the prospect of an Artisan Won Tiger release, and that piece has fully been revealed in the latest issue of Figure Oh magazine.

Of course, Super Sentai Artisan DX Won Tiger is fully capable of combining with the aforementioned Dairen’Oh. Also included are seven Treasure Perals which can be swapped out.  All of this will cost 14,400 yen as a P-Bandai release.
