Rounding out our trio of Zyuranger Minipla releases, Bandai’s Candy Toy blog was just updated with our first look at the Super Minipla King Brachion/Titanus!
No release info was provided in this post given that it’s still clearly in early development. But given that his size and price point matches that of Super Minipla’s King J-Der from GaoGaiGar, we can expect this to be a potential Premium Bandai with a similar price tag of 10,000 yen.
Thanks to our friends at PowerRangersNOW for discovering this leak/reveal. The French entertainment site, Gulli, has posted the finale details for Power Rangers Ninja Steel. The description via translation reads as follows:
– Galvanax uses a magnet created by Victor and Monty to finally take the Ninja Power Stars for himself
– Brody, refusing to let Galvanax win, destroys his Ninja Power Star
– When all hope is lost, the Ninja Nexus Prism arrives and…

In case you missed it Bandai Namco’s forthcoming melee brawler game: Kamen Rider Climax Fighters was just picked up for Asia Localization, which means the chances that we’ll see a Kamen Rider game with sub and English text is very likely.
Not long after that announcement, new screen shots, release info, and a full-length trailer was just released courtesy of gematsu.com.
Here are the details for the game as posted by gematsu:
As is the trend with Kamen Rider games, two versions will be available: a standard version and limited run premium sound version. The premium sound version contains the opening theme songs for Kuuga through Build as in game background music. Regardless of what version you purchase, a Climax Fighters background theme will be included as a pre order bonus.
Kamen Rider Climax Fighters will be released December 2017, the standard release will retail for 7,600 yen while the Premium Sound Version costs 11,100 yen the premium sound version will only be in production until February 2018 so act fast!
UPDATE 02/12/2017: Bandai Asia’s version of the trailer’s just come out complete with English subtitles! As such, the video from before’s been replaced with this version of the trailer.
No info regarding the Asia region release was given as of this writing, but stay tuned and we’ll provide you with up to date info as it’s made available. In the meantime, view the trailer in the link below:
We don’t often advertise podcasts or YouTube updates of people not associated with our site, but we’re making a special exception in this case. Our dear friends for many years, the folks at the Ranger Command Power Hour podcast, have released their 100th episode. In celebration of 100 episodes, they’ve done a crossover episode featuring appearances from nearly every single guest host they’ve had over the last 3 years.
We do play a special part in this episode – @TokuChris (TokuNation webmaster) wrote the script and has an appearance, along with @DenO_TokuNation (TokuNation Content Administrator) and @SoulInkChu (TokuNation Public Relations) representing our former podcast Talkin Toku.
Click here and listen to the episode coming in at an impressive 35 minutes. Congratulations to Ranger Command Power Hour for 100 episodes and for setting the standard of how professional, entertaining podcasts should be.
Kamen Rider Climax Fighters was announced not too long ago for the Playstation 4. It’s a fighting game featuring all titular 19 Hesei-era Kamen Riders – from Kamen Rider Kuuga to Kamen Rider Build. Are there more? Possibly – we have to wait and see. But the big news coming today, courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle, is that Kamen Rider Climax Fighters will be the first main Kamen Rider game to receive localizations throughout Asia.
Why is that news? Well, because Bandai Namco localizations in certain areas of Asia – such as Southeastern Asia – receive the game in English. That’s right – it looks as if Bandai Namco will release the game in Southeastern Asia in the English language (text-wise, at least).
While a release of Kamen Rider Climax Fighters in the West is absolutely slim at best, a chance for fans to import the game in English at the very least seems high. We’ve included pictures courtesy of Playstation Lifestyle in the article so check it out!

Just like Nickelodeon and Power Rangers Ninja Steel, Customs Corner comes back from a month long hiatus. Where we last left off, it was March and we had seen Grimlockimus’s large-scale project- the Original Color Movie Megazord. But while many enjoy the large scale items, what about the smaller scaled ones? What about the Ranger Keys or the Bandai of America Ranger and Monster figures? Well, look no further than one of our site member’s works! This month’s featured article is on ZeltraxMillenium, an old acquaintance of mine and a fellow customizer. Here, you can check out his gallery of past works, as well as read up on his interview in the discussion below.
Be sure to give him a follow on his Twitter account, @ZeltraxMilleniu!
