Our own Sentai Tamashii is at Toy Fair 2016 and spent some time with Bandai America. Here are some snippets of information while we await on pictures!

  • The Ninja Megazord on display was NOT the Legacy Ninja Megazord – it was the original toy, simply there as a placeholder.
  • Will retail between $80-$90
  • Legacy Figures – appear to be 6″ tall, more detail, not “powerful Rangers” style but still American muscle style
  • Female Legacy Figures have slits in skirts to allow figures’ legs to move
  • Each Legacy Figure will have a “build a figure” piece to build that season’s Megazord
  • 6th Rangers in the Legacy line will have more accessories instead of a “build a figure” piece
  • There will be 3 assortments released in a year, with 2 seasons per year
  • First year will be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Ninja Storm – thanks Ninja Steel influence!
  • Assortment 1 will be Ninja Storm Red, Blue, and Yellow, Mighty Morphin Red, Green and one other figure
  • Ninja Coins when?  Bandai America doesn’t want to let collectors down – still many more shows to reveal things at this year
  • Currently no other focus other than mainline toys and Legacy toys (sorry Ranger Key fans!)
  • Bandai America cannot discuss anything Movie 2017 related at this time.
  • Future Legacy release?  “All in due time” … stay tuned, still three big conventions this year (SDCC, NYCC, PMC)
  • Bandai committed to not letting girl fans down – there will be plenty of female oriented items released

Stay tuned for high res pictures from the event!

This weekend is a busy weekend for fans of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge! First, you have Toy Fair 2016 with all new product reveals for the toy line (as well as the popular Legacy line). Then, right after the reveals, you have a brand new episode of Power Rangers Dino Supercharge!

In this new episode titled “Nightmare in Amber Beach“, Shelby, the Dino Charge Pink Ranger, receives a pillow from a monster that puts her to sleep! When she awakes, she sees her fellow Rangers as Vivix! Can our heroes stay awake to avoid the same fate, or will Heckyl/Snide finally defeat our heroes and take their Energems? Enjoy two preview images sent to us from Saban Brands!

For those of you who collect vinyl figures, or specifically the action vinyl figures from The Loyal Subjects, will be pleased to know that a recent listing at online retailer EntertainmentEarth.com has popped up for a Series 2 set of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures to release this coming August.

For those who don’t know – The Loyal Subjects released action vinyl figures from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers last year that blew up in popularity, with the rare figures going for well over $100 at times. Since their release, metallic and crystal versions of the figures have been released at San Diego Comic Con 2015 as well as Hastings stores. What will we see in Series 2? Some assume we’ll get vinyl figures of Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Bulk, Skull, Alpha 5, and possibly more. With Toy Fair 2016 happening this weekend, we may get our first look – or at least a hint!

Stay tuned to our coverage of Toy Fair 2016 this coming weekend.

under Garo

A poster for the upcoming anime movie Garo: Divine Flame has recently surfaced online.

In addition, a teaser trailer for the film has been uploaded by Garo Project (but be warned- there may be spoilers ahead!)

Divine Flame will serve as a sequel to the first Garo anime series, Seal of Flames. The movie will be released in May 2016.

under Kamen Rider

A new image has appeared online teasing out some of the final forms we’re looking at for Kamen Rider Ghost!

The fully lit figure in the image is of course Ghost Grateful Damashii. The near final power up for Ghost which at first glance seems to indicate he can use the powers of all 15 heroic Eyecons at once. Looking closely you can see the emblem of at least Musashi present on his chest.

The middle teaser is for Deep Specter. We don’t have much to go on other than that name and this image but it certainly looks like an ornate design. Lastly and totally out of view is our first tease of Ghosts’ final form, Mugen Damashii. No information about this form other than Mugen Eyecon is currently known.

We’ll update you as more information becomes available.

under Super Sentai

The first crop of reviews for the next Super Sentai series, Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, are beginning to roll in. First up – check out the video review of the highly anticipated (for a variety of reasons) DX ZyuOhKing, the main Megazord of this new series!

Featuring a few “firsts” for Bandai Japan – this Megazord does not seem to have any electronics and is significantly smaller to previous DX Mecha released. Is this part of Bandai Japan‘s new vision – to once again make toys easier to import to the United States (as seen with Ninninger‘s Power Rangers styled 5 inch figures)? Time will tell! Let us know what you think of the video review in the discussion thread!

Here we go again! Some more repaints for Power Rangers Dino Supercharge, or as Bandai is referring to the repaints as “Limited Edition” items have popped up once again on KMart.com. Listed today are a Limited Edition Deluxe Spino Zord, a Limited Edition Deluxe Black T-Rex Zord (aka Gold), and a Limited Edition Deluxe Dino Saber.

This brings our repaint total for Power Rangers Dino Supercharge to 463 … (just kidding, it’s more like 462). More shockingly than that – two of these new items (the zords) appear to be in stock and ready to ship!

Are your wallets ready? Or is this just becoming too much for the wallet (and the stomach) to handle? Sound off in discussion.

under Ultraman

Just displayed late last week at Wonderfest 2016, the Tamashii Web Shop has just updated with official info and images for Ultra-Act X S.H. Figuarts Ultra Seven!

Looking every bit as good as the displayed prototype, Ultra Seven (Ultraman Suit Ver 7.2) includes 2 sets of hands, his Specium Sword & sheath, and his Eye Slugger. Ultra Seven has also been confirmed for release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive releasing in August for 6480 yen. 

Get with your preferred middleman or service today to secure an order. Pre-orders officially open February 12th!

The first image showing the Sixth Ranger of Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger has finally surfaced online!

This years’ Sixth is known as Zyuoh The World! Unlike the previous Zyuohgers, this Ranger has THREE animal spirits- Crocodile, Rhino and Wolf! The costume is a hybrid of colors- orange, black and silver.

According to recent rumors, Zyuoh TheWorld can switch between animal abilities using the Visor Up skill demonstrated by ZyuohEagle in previous listings.

Sadly, nothing is known about the identity of this new Ranger at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuogher news!

under Kamen Rider
