A teaser for an upcoming release in the Ghost Change action figure series has given us the best glimpse yet at Kamen Rider Specter in a new form- DEEP SPECTER!

The figure appears to be a heavily modified Specter with several new armor bits. How this release can interact with other Ghost Change toys remains unknown at time of writing.

In addition, a new toy listing has surfaced online for a new roleplay release: the DX Extreme Loaded Deep Slasher! This seems to be Deep Specters’ signature weapon; allegedly a modified rerelease of Kamen Rider Ghosts’ own Sunglas Slasher.

The Deep Slasher is set for release in April 2016 at a price of 5200 Yen. Be sure to join in our Ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears about Kamen Rider Specter and his exciting new abilities!

The first image of 2017’s team of cinematic teenagers with attitude is online! This gives us a great look at the new Movie Rangers in civilian dress.

Movie director Dean Israelite offers some comments about the (sadly still-unseen) hero suits for this film:
““We’ve really pushed ourselves to make them feel different from any other superhero costume that’s out there. One key that’s different to the Power Rangers suits is that they’re not really suits that people get into. They’re suits that morph onto our kids, so they already have this almost metaphysical quality to them.”

Israel also had this to say about the films’ villain, played by Elizabeth Banks:
“It’s very exciting that we got [Banks], and I think what she loves is the opportunity to really embrace the insanity and deliciousness of Rita Repulsa in terms of how weird and wonderful that character was, and really dive into and consume that character. You should always be off-balance when you’re watching her. Is she insane? Is she totally calculated? Does she know what she’s doing? Elizabeth can toe that line really well.”

Power Rangers premieres in theaters on March 27, 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this exciting project!
