“Superchange!”

We’re doubling up with yet another retro gallery for this years’ Toku Toy Box! For last years giveaway we took a look at the impressive Superchange DX Kabutack set, and this year we’re following up with Kabutack’s friend and ally, Superchange Kuwajiro!

Kuwajiro, like Kabutack, features an interesting and fun SD style Normal Mode, but by way of the Superchange gimmick can assume the more heroic Super Mode! Each figure in this line features the two, but perhaps Kuwajiro’s are the most similar. While he’s certainly not the most dynamic figure in the line, like everyone else he still has quite the charm to him. And thanks to his included Hasamic Cutter he packs a little bit of heat to make up for it.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can see the entire 40 image gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two days with yet another gallery for Toku Toy Box!

A new toy commercial for the Power Rangers 2017 Movie has given us our first look at the films’ second villain!

The iconic Mighty Morphin era monster known as Goldar is reborn in an exciting new style! The massive golden winged creature shown here is Rita Repulsa’s most powerful General, almost certainly a worthy opponent for the new team of Rangers and their Megazord. Early script details for the film suggest Rita brings this creature to life by stealing large quantities of gold. While the visual design definitely seems to support that rumor, no official story for Goldar has been released at time of writing.

Goldar will face off against the new team of Power Rangers in theaters on March 24, 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Rangers Movie news!
