“Cast Off: Change Beetle!”

Toku Toy Box is taking a look at another new premium style release from Tamashii Nations! Recently released as a Tamashii Nations 2016 event exclusive S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto follows up S.S. Gattack and S.S. Kabuto as the third release in the Kabuto line. You may recall that last month , we also did a gallery of the Original Release Dark Kabuto, well let’s just say that the Shinkocchou Seihou is a massive improvement.

Just as with S.S. Kabuto & Gattack, Dark Kabuto features the brilliant body type that began the entire Seihou line. Once again this figure proves just how incredible the engineering for premium releases like this is. We recently glimpsed prototypes of the infamous Hopper Bros from Kabuto at Tamashii Nations 2016 as well, so the Kabuto lineup of S.S. releases  is really starting to shape up nicely. For now though Dark Kabuto is another fantastic addition that includes the perfect accessories to compliment his gorgeous design and paint scheme.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view over 50 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Dark Kabuto in the full gallery thread. 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!

Released exclusively through Den of Geek, the first trailer for Power Rangers Ninja Steel is live!

This trailer is our first official look at the team in action and actually gives us a start time for the series, January 2017. Read the full synopsis below:

“With the franchise’s 24th season, Saban Brands’ Power Rangers Ninja Steel starts deep in space, where Galvanax is the reigning champion of the most popular intergalactic game show in the universe in which monsters battle to prove who is the mightiest warrior. Galvanax is determined to become invincible by controlling the mythical Ninja Nexus Prism, which contains six supernatural Ninja Power Stars. The only thing standing in his way is a new team of heroic teenage Power Rangers who possess it. The evil Galvanax sends his warrior contestants down to Earth to steal the Ninja Power Stars, where each epic battle against the Power Rangers is broadcast throughout the universe. Together, the Rangers must master their arsenal of Ninja Power Stars, Zords and Megazords, each made of legendary Ninja Steel, in order to stop this evil threat and save Earth from destruction.”

We’ll be tuning in sometime in January 2017 for Power Rangers Ninja Steel, will you?

One of Ultraman’s oldest & most persistent foes arrives for today’s Toku Toy Box Gallery with S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan!

The 2nd release commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Ultra franchise, Alien Baltan is a companion piece to the recently released S.H. Figuarts Ultraman. However, unlike Ultraman, Baltan is a very straightforward and pretty bare bones release. With no accessories at all, the merits of this figure are based solely on it’s exquisite sculpt, paint apps, and personality. Does it effectively recreate the classic space ninja we all know and love? Read on to find out!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can view the entire 50 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two days with another Toku Toy Box gallery!

The final episode of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge, the Christmas special “Here Comes Heximus”, airs this weekend on Nickelodeon. Many fans speculated exactly where in the Dino Supercharge timeline this would fall seeing as the ending of the main story kind of left things … well, prehistoric. Best rest assured, we see in the following preview clip that this Christmas episode falls AFTER the finale of Dino Supercharge, which ends up leaving a lot more questions on the table as the preview continues.

But hey – check out the preview below and we’ll wait and see what developments come out of everything this weekend with the final episode of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge. NOTE: Story image is from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, and will not be in the actual episode.

under Kamen Rider

A new image has surfaced online, showing the next level of power for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

By using the Maximum Mighty X Gashat, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid can transform into his strongest form yet- the LVL 99 MAXIMUM GAMER! This configuration is an oversized reuse of the LVL1 model, and will act as a cocoon of sorts for Ex-Aid’s final form- which requires 1 more Gashat still unrevealed at time of writing.

But Ex-Aid isn’t the only Rider gaining new powers in the future! This scan reveals a second Gashat called the Gashat Gear Dual Beta which allows both Kamen Rider Brave and Kamen Rider Snipe to upgrade to LVL 50 forms:

*Brave obtains heavy stylized armor to become Kamen Rider Brave Fantasy Gamer!
*Snipe gains an arsenal of mounted weapons and transforms into Kamen Rider Snipe Simulation Gamer!

Definitely some exciting times ahead for this series! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider news!
