The first teaser trailer for the next GARO series has been posted online! The good people at The Tokusatsu Network have translated this video for fans.
Long-time GARO veteran Yukijiro Hotaru returns once again as Gonza, servant to the Golden Knight. Hotaru will serve as narrator/storyteller for Makai Retsuden as characters from the previous 10 years of GARO are revisited.
Makai Retsuden begins on April 8, 2016!
Another month has come & gone and so we have a number of toy galleries and in depth reviews by our Photo & Content staff to round-up once again! Though all the products we reviewed this past month were released in the last 3 or 4 years, the content they covered spanned decades. A selection of Ranger Keys took us down the path of Metal Heroes from 1982 all the way to 2012, the Legacy line gave us a one-two punch throwback to 1994 & 1995, and we caught up with some much needed gallery 2.0’s a recent and often overlooked sentai.
As always you’ll find below links to this months gallery/reviews. We look forward to bringing you even more content this month!

A new round of magazine scans has hit the Internet, giving us a look at the future of Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
*The next piece of the Zyuoghers’ arsenal is Cube Mogura! A purple mole Mecha with a drill weapon that can pierce Deathgalien armor.
*By uniting all 8 Cubes, the Zyuoghers can form Wild Zyuoh King! This is the strongest fusion of Animal Instincts yet!
*We also get our first look at the still-unnamed Eagle Zyuman who first gave Yamato the Champions’ Symbol. In his human form, Eagle is played by Kohei Murakami, who fans may recognize as Kamen Rider Kaixa.

“Ryuuj!!!”
The TokuNation Gallery 2.0 project adds another entry today with another visit to Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters! Last week we posted our S.H. Figuarts Blue Buster gallery 2.0, so as a companion to that entry today we’re bringing you Ryuuji’s partner Buddyroid, S.H. Figuarts Gorisaki Banana!
Much like Nick Cheead, Gorisaki is a totally new mold for this line. A unique robotic gorilla (as the name implies), Gorisaki features articulation and posability that’s in line with what a person wearing a suit and acting as this character would likely have available. While the accuracy of this isn’t lost on me, it also hurts what the figure can do to a degree. Gorisaki also comes with no accessories at all, so the figure has to hit the mark perfectly. And while he may not have done so, Gorisaki undoubtedly is a fun figure with some great personality to him.
We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but the full 40 image gallery is view-able after the jump. As well as an in depth review into the pros & cons of this figures’ design. Just click “Discuss on The TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be backnext month with a final Gallery 2.0 for Go-Busters with the S.H. Figuarts Yellow Buster & Usada Lettuce 2-Pack!
A new magazine scan has given us our first real look at Kamen Rider Specter in his final form: Deep Specter!
Obtained using the Deep Specter Ghost Eyecon this form comes with a special new weapon known as the Extreme Loaded DeepSlasher! Now Specter has power to match even the strongest Ganma.
Sadly, the exact origins of this new form are unknown at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ghostly details!
Let’s Morphin!
The TokuNation Gallery 2.0 initiative slowly marches on! It’s been a while since we posted one of our updated looks at a figure gone by. But today we’re back with the third in our series of do-overs for Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters with S.H. Figuarts Blue Buster!
First things first, Blue Buster is basically identical to the previously released Red Buster. The only mold difference is the helmet. If you have experience with this mold then you know it well. Admittedly it’s not perfect, there’s limited upper arm movement & especially difficult to swap hands. But Blue Buster is still a more than serviceable release with a great selection of accessories including the Sougan Blade, Ichigan Buster, & the combined Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode! If you’re looking for another addition to your sentai figuarts display, this one is both inexpensive to acquire and still pretty great despite it’s flaws.
We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but the full 40 image gallery is view-able after the jump. Just click “Discuss on The TokuNation Forums”. We’ll be back in just a few days with yet another Go-Busters gallery 2.0 with S.H. Figuarts Gorisaki Banana!
