It’s a safe bet to say that a lot of fans are very excited with what they’ve seen so far in the upcoming 41st Super Sentai Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger. And after a week of some details, grainy pictures, blurry pictures, we now finally have new high resolution Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger Scans online!

The images show us everything from our nine Rangers to their individual Voyagers to the DX KyurenOh. We also get a look at the arsenal of the Kyuurangers as well as a detailed list of the upcoming collectible gimmick of the series – the KyuTamas – spheres/balls that contain an image of the constellation they represent.

Check out high resolution scans by clicking the title of the story and then join in our on-going discussion. Are you excited for Uchuu Sentai Kyuuranger? Are you all-in on collecting the Voyagers and the KyuTamas? Sound off! Special thanks to @TheRealMattHunt and @_Erasu on Twitter for the heads up on the images.

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!

under Power Rangers Movie

News has been slow on the Power Rangers Movie front since New York Comic Con (minus that whole Alpha 5 thing). One thing that many fans had been wondering about was whether or not the movie, which continues to deviate from the classic television series in terms of style and look, was going to incorporate the iconic “Go Go Power Rangers” theme song.

With thanks to friend of the site @nightmere10 and her blog The Power Scoop, we are happy to share that indeed the movie does appear to feature an orchestrated version of the classic Go Go Power Rangers theme song. The iconic Philharmonia, out of London, has been recording at Abbey Road Studios for the upcoming movie. Claire Newton, a violinist with the orchestra, put out an image on Instagram showing the classic theme song’s score.

The last time the original theme was orchestrated was for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, which has been used at special events by Saban Brands in recent years. Are you excited to hear a new, updated version of the original theme song? Sound off in our discussion thread!

“Cast Off: Change, Stag Beetle!”

Toku Toy Box continues with another gallery of a recent release. Today’s subject was long overdue, and thankfully the wait has been worth it. S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack is yet another incredible entry into Bandai’s high end line of renewals.

Kamen Rider Gattack is of course the secondary rider of Kabuto & the case can definitely be made that he’s the real star of the show. And thanks to the fantastic engineering of the S.S. Kabuto body, this star really gets the chance to shine. Gattack includes the full range of articulation previously seen with Kabuto and brings his own gorgeous color scheme and accessories to the party. Both of Gattack’s Double Caliburs are included & they can combine for his Rider Cutting finish. Also, unlike Kabuto, Gattack even includes an alternate version of his Zecter! To see how vastly improved this figure is you can also check out our S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack (Original Release) gallery.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but you can view the entire 60 image gallery below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in two days with the next gallery for Toku Toy Box!

under Ultraman

Some exciting news for Ultraman fans!

Two new Ultra films have been picked up by US distributor William Winckler Productions, Inc for a limited double-billed English-dubbed theatrical release!

*First up is Ultraman X: The Movie!


When realty TV host Carlos Kurozaki breaks into a mysterious underground pyramid for a television event, he removes a special gem. . . and unwittingly releases a diabolical monster called Zaigorg! The evil creature wants Kurozaki’s gem, so it spawns an army of giant kaijus to get it! It’s up to the famous superheroes Ultraman X, Ultraman Tiga, and the one and only original Ultraman to stop the worldwide monster war!

*And next in the lineup is Ultraman Ginga S: The Movie!


A sinister space warrior, Etelgar, forces a beautiful young alien princess, Alena, to use her magical mirror to trap every Ultraman hero in the Galaxy! In order to stop Etelgar and save the princess and their fellow Ultramen, two brave young men, Hikaru and Shou, must each transform into new Ultra-heroes, Ultraman Ginga and Ultraman Victory, and combine their super-powers! Thus begins an epic battle of the greatest Ultraman heroes teaming up to defeat Etelgar and his army of villainous space warriors!

The Ultraman double-feature hits screens on January 8, 2017! A full list of theaters carrying this special release (along with dubbed trailers) can be found at SciFi Japan!

“Riderrrrrrrrrrrrr, Henshin!”

Toku Toy Box continues! Debuting in the special Superhero Year tie-in film, Kamen Rider 1, the original Rider himself received his first new upgrade in over 40 years. Well Takeshi Hongo’s latest form is on full display in our special gallery of S.H. Figuarts Movie Kamen Rider 1 !

You’d be forgiven for expecting Movie Rider 1 to be a limited figure. While undoubtedly movie magic gave the physical suit a special flare & abilities all it’s own, this figuart packs a real punch. A big beefy and well articulated figure, Movie Rider 1 truly comes across as the embodiment of actor Hiroshi Fujioka. While the accessories may limited, this figures’ potential is not. If you were a fan of the Rider 1 film, or of Hongo in general, this figure deserves a place in your collection.
