Official images and release info have just dropped courtesy of Tamashii Nations for S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude!

Super Evolved Heart was confirmed for release late last month but these official images finally give us a really great look at it. But don’t expect this release to outdo the originals’ accessories. As with the first S.H. Figuarts Heart, Super Evolved Heart only includes 3 sets of additional hands.

S.H. Figuarts Super Evolved Heart Roidmude will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2017 for 5940 yen.

Bruno from MMPRToys recently visited the headquarters for Bandai America and sat down with the powers that be to discuss all things Power Rangers. While there, he was given an exclusive first look at the upcoming Power Rangers Dino Charge Poisandra 5″ figure, which was made possibly due to overwhelming fan-demand. Here are the bullet points you need to know of the visit:

  • Poisandra figure close to being done
  • Silver belts on Legacy MMPR Wave 02 figures an accident, NO RE-RELEASE OR FIX PLANNED
  • Accessories for Legacy figures made just working out details on how to get them released
  • Legacy Ninja coins are coming in a gift-set, no need to re-purchase morphers

Discovered online and revealed through @PowerRangersTalk on Twitter, we have our first look at the upcoming 5″ Rita Repula figure from the upcoming Power Rangers Movie. The evil empress is sporting her green armor and the Green Power Coin on her golden staff.

What do you think? This is probably the best Rita Repulsa figure we’ve ever had – will you pick one up? Sound off in our discussion thread linked in the story.

“T-Rex Zord, it’s time for battle!”

Toku Toy Box continues today with TokuNation.com’s first official look at product from the 2017 Power Rangers Movie! With Movie toys having just hit stores in recent weeks we finally ran across the Movie T-Rex Battle Zord out in the wild and figure, what better time to do a full gallery & review!

The T-Rex Battle Zord is a behemoth toy. As a part of the colossal Movie Megaord, it’s no surprise that this figure makes up the bulk of it’s mass. Contributing the chest/upper torso, arms, cannon, tail whip/sword, and part of the wings, the T-Rex has a lot to offer. But the majority of it’s play value right now comes from it’s dino mode. Without the other 4 zords on the market, the T-Rex is more fun as a T-Rex. With pressure firing missile launchers, an electronic cannon with phrases & sounds effect, and a really neat mini pilot feature, the T-Rex Battle Zord is a great entry point to this line for fans.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but feel free to check out the complete  60+ image gallery after the jump. Just click, “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two more days with another Toku Toy Box gallery!

Thanks to sieunhanvietnam, a poster at RangerBoard, we have some new items listed under the Legacy Power Rangers line. The online store The Falcon’s Hangar has put up some already-known and yet-to-be-revealed new Legacy Power Rangers items listed online. Check out the list below.

  • 12″ Legacy MMPR Red Ranger with spandex
  • 6.5″ Legacy Dino Thunder Red, Blue Rangers (part of the Zeo wave 1 of Legacy figures due in mid-late 2017)
  • Legacy Power Sword
  • Legacy Black and Gold Titanus
  • Legacy MMPR gold coin set
  • Legacy MMPR silver coin set (called “Movie Edition”)

There are no official product images for these items so there’s not much to show. It has been rumored heavily that the Power Rangers Dino Thunder figures would be part of the Power Rangers Zeo wave of Legacy 6.5″ figures and this is as close to a confirmation as we will get before Toy Fair 2017. Join in the discussion – are you going to grab these new figures? And what’s this 12″ Spandex Legacy Red Ranger all about?!

“Magnet Change!”

We’ve returned with another retro gallery from one of my favorites toylines ever for Toku Toy Box! That of Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack! You may recall that last December the inaugural gallery in this series was the shows’ lead character Robotack, well today we’re taking a look at his companion and equally awesome super robot, Magnet Change Kamerock! For a broader explanation of the series itself, feel free to read through my previous Robotack gallery linked to above.

Kamerock is yet another wonderful example of one of my favorite toylines. With the Magnet Change/ジシャックチェンジ gimmick on full display when using another figure in the line, you can see just how addictive it is. Kamerock is a Wonder Turtle type robot with a pretty innocent looking Normal Mode, but a beefy bruiser of a Super Mode. You can see how he interacts with his companion Robotack, in the full gallery below.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view the full 40 image gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in 2 days with another new gallery for Toku Toy Box!
