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!

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!

“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.

Today is the official “launch day” for the Power Rangers Movie toys! And as fans rush out to their local Toys’R’Us stores to grab themselves some new Power Rangers Movie toys, RangerNation.com has shared some of the upcoming toy images.

We get our first look at the 5″ Movie figures. Red Ranger comes with his Power Sword, while Blue, Black, Pink and Yellow come with … blue fire-effect fist weapons. At this time, it’s hard to say whether or not they will have their traditional weapons like the Red Ranger or not, but some fans are expressing disappointment on social media. Also shown is Alpha 5.

We also get our first look at the Movie FX Red Ranger mask, complete with sounds from the Red Ranger in the Power Rangers Movie.

Head over to RangerNation.com for the official reveals. Images in this story are from Power Rangers NOW, who managed to find the retail-version images of these upcoming figures. Join in our discussion – are you going to pick up the new toys? Sound off!
