“T-Rex Zord, it’s time for battle!”

Toku Toy Box continues today with TokuNation.com’s first official look at product from the 2017 Power Rangers Movie! With Movie toys having just hit stores in recent weeks we finally ran across the Movie T-Rex Battle Zord out in the wild and figure, what better time to do a full gallery & review!

The T-Rex Battle Zord is a behemoth toy. As a part of the colossal Movie Megaord, it’s no surprise that this figure makes up the bulk of it’s mass. Contributing the chest/upper torso, arms, cannon, tail whip/sword, and part of the wings, the T-Rex has a lot to offer. But the majority of it’s play value right now comes from it’s dino mode. Without the other 4 zords on the market, the T-Rex is more fun as a T-Rex. With pressure firing missile launchers, an electronic cannon with phrases & sounds effect, and a really neat mini pilot feature, the T-Rex Battle Zord is a great entry point to this line for fans.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but feel free to check out the complete  60+ image gallery after the jump. 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!

Thanks to sieunhanvietnam, a poster at RangerBoard, we have some new items listed under the Legacy Power Rangers line. The online store The Falcon’s Hangar has put up some already-known and yet-to-be-revealed new Legacy Power Rangers items listed online. Check out the list below.

  • 12″ Legacy MMPR Red Ranger with spandex
  • 6.5″ Legacy Dino Thunder Red, Blue Rangers (part of the Zeo wave 1 of Legacy figures due in mid-late 2017)
  • Legacy Power Sword
  • Legacy Black and Gold Titanus
  • Legacy MMPR gold coin set
  • Legacy MMPR silver coin set (called “Movie Edition”)

There are no official product images for these items so there’s not much to show. It has been rumored heavily that the Power Rangers Dino Thunder figures would be part of the Power Rangers Zeo wave of Legacy 6.5″ figures and this is as close to a confirmation as we will get before Toy Fair 2017. Join in the discussion – are you going to grab these new figures? And what’s this 12″ Spandex Legacy Red Ranger all about?!

“Magnet Change!”

We’ve returned with another retro gallery from one of my favorites toylines ever for Toku Toy Box! That of Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack! You may recall that last December the inaugural gallery in this series was the shows’ lead character Robotack, well today we’re taking a look at his companion and equally awesome super robot, Magnet Change Kamerock! For a broader explanation of the series itself, feel free to read through my previous Robotack gallery linked to above.

Kamerock is yet another wonderful example of one of my favorite toylines. With the Magnet Change/ジシャックチェンジ gimmick on full display when using another figure in the line, you can see just how addictive it is. Kamerock is a Wonder Turtle type robot with a pretty innocent looking Normal Mode, but a beefy bruiser of a Super Mode. You can see how he interacts with his companion Robotack, in the full gallery below.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can view the full 40 image gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back in 2 days with another new gallery for Toku Toy Box!

“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.

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?
