Announced back in August, we finally have some new images and info from the upcoming Space Squad team-up movie featuring Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger & Uchuu Keiji Gavan!

The information revealed today is mostly things we either already knew or at least assumed. The venerable Kenji Ohba will of course be returning to the role he originated as Retsu Ichijouji/Gavan. This film also sees the return of Doggie Krueger/Dekamaster & Tetsu/Dekabreak. They previously returned with the the rest of the team in Dekaranger 10 Years After. It was assumed they’d be back again but it’s nice to see it confirmed.

Perhaps the most surprising bit of info revealed by the official Space Squad twitter is the addition of a previously unannounced villain to the film. Mad Gallant! This classic villain from 1985’s Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion has been resurrected to menace to menace heroes one more time. Also returning to voice Mad Gallant is his original actor as well, Junichi Haruta! Much like Grifforzer, Geildon, Apollo Geist & other resurrected villains the new Mad Gallant features a design reminiscent of his original with a few new additions.

Space Squad will be screened in theaters on June 17th and released on Blu-ray & DVD on August 9th 2017!

“Mayday mayday SOS!”

Toku Toy Box has officially begun! And the first gallery that can qualify you for entry in this years’ contest is none other than S.H. Figuarts Walter from Tokkei Winspector!

Walter rounds out the Winspector trio in spectacular fashion following up from comrades Fire & Bikel.

Featuring all the hallmarks of this subline, Walter has excellent articulation and a plethora of accessories for display options. His signature Dislider jetpack/shield, a pair of oil cans for having a drink, numerous extra hands, and the ever present Daytric M2 sidearm.

The Holiday Season is here now that Thanksgiving is over and the time for shopping is upon us! But as we search for the perfect gifts for our friends and loved ones (and those new Power Rangers Movie and Power Rangers Ninja Steel toys) it is beyond important to remember that there are so many children out there whose families struggle just to put food on the table let alone gifts under a tree.

That’s where we all come in to play. The Power Rangers teach values of teamwork, respect, friendship, and helping those in need. What better way to take those lessons that they remind us of and put them to good use! We’re challenging all of our friends and followers to head to a local Toys For Tots drop-off location (usually inside big retail stores like Wal-Mart, Toys’R’Us, and Target) by Saturday, December 3rd, and Share the Power by dropping off a Power Rangers toy for a child in need!

And we want to incentivize you to do it.

Get a picture of you dropping off a Power Rangers toy in a Toys For Tots bin by this Saturday, December 3rd, and share that picture with us and the Administration team here at TokuNation.com will select our favorite picture to receive a $50 Amazon gift card. And our second favorite picture will receive a $25 Amazon gift card. That’s it. Give a Power Rangers toy, potentially win a gift card to buy yourself something!

Here are the details:

– Take a picture of yourself donating a Power Rangers toy in a Toys For Tots bin by this Saturday, December 3rd
