“Superchange!”

We’re doubling up with yet another retro gallery for this years’ Toku Toy Box! For last years giveaway we took a look at the impressive Superchange DX Kabutack set, and this year we’re following up with Kabutack’s friend and ally, Superchange Kuwajiro!

Kuwajiro, like Kabutack, features an interesting and fun SD style Normal Mode, but by way of the Superchange gimmick can assume the more heroic Super Mode! Each figure in this line features the two, but perhaps Kuwajiro’s are the most similar. While he’s certainly not the most dynamic figure in the line, like everyone else he still has quite the charm to him. And thanks to his included Hasamic Cutter he packs a little bit of heat to make up for it.

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

A new toy commercial for the Power Rangers 2017 Movie has given us our first look at the films’ second villain!

The iconic Mighty Morphin era monster known as Goldar is reborn in an exciting new style! The massive golden winged creature shown here is Rita Repulsa’s most powerful General, almost certainly a worthy opponent for the new team of Rangers and their Megazord. Early script details for the film suggest Rita brings this creature to life by stealing large quantities of gold. While the visual design definitely seems to support that rumor, no official story for Goldar has been released at time of writing.

Goldar will face off against the new team of Power Rangers in theaters on March 24, 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Rangers Movie news!

“Nice Drive!”

The prototype of Proto-Drive arrives in our latest gallery from Kamen Rider Drive! Hailing from Ghost X Drive Movie Wars Genesis, this form has actually been placed outside Drive continuity by a rare announcement from Toei. But that hasn’t stopped us from reviewing S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive for Toku Toy Box!

In the context of the film, Shinnosuke & Takeru are trapped 10 years in the past. So this form is a pre-cursor even to Kamen Rider Proto-Drive, totally experimental, much more dangerous than Type Speed, and actually less powerful. Only Shinnosuke’s experience as the completed Drive in the present allowed him to master the Zero Drive form.

With all that in mind please look below to see our full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero Drive! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to see to complete 50+ image gallery! We’ll be back in 2 more days with yet another Toku Toy Box gallery!

GATTAI, DINO MISSION!

Bandai’s finally went ahead and released coloured images for the upcoming release of the Super Minipla Daizyujin in all of it’s glory!

And the next CSM release has been officially announced! If you can’t tell from my initial excitement, this one is very near and dear to me in particular. Up next for Premium Bandai’s exclusive high end role play line is the Complete Selection Modification New Den-O Belt! The original CSM Den-O Belt was actually released way back in 2008. So it’s taken quite a long time for Kotaro/New Den-O to finally receive his.

In the near future Premium Bandai will be updating their website with more information on this exciting release. We’ll be sure to to keep you up to date when they do!

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.
