We’ve come to the end folks! With only one day left before we announce the winner of Toku Toy Box we’re officially posting our last gallery for the competition today! Tomorrow we’ll be featuring a roundup of all eligible entries for this years giveaway. But for now we’re going to take a look at our final entry, S.H. Figuarts Red Buster Gallery 2.0!

While Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters was not fondly looked upon by many fans it’s still a personal favorite of mine. Much like the series many people were turned off by the Red Buster figuart. Admittedly he’s not perfect, thanks to the limited upper arm movement and especially difficult to swap hands. But Red Buster more than captures the look of it’s on screen counterpart and includes a wealth of accessories like the Sougan Blade, Ichigan Buster, & the combined Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode! While imperfect Red Buster is still an admirable release that goes for some pretty rock bottom prices. Anyone looking to fill out their Super Sentai displays should definitely pick this one up!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but we’ve assembled a full review and over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Red Buster after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this page to see them all! And remember this is your FINAL chance to qualify for the Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

He will stop at NOTHING to get the Energems from the Power Rangers Dino Charge, including becoming an articulated toy for children! Releasing initially in the final wave of the Power Rangers Dino Charge 5″ figure line as well as being repackaged for one of many (someone at Bandai America is trolling collectors with the current distribution of toys) different waves in the first release of the 5″ Power Rangers Dino Supercharge figures, he’s the first original villain to receive a toy in a mainline release in … a very long time!

With thanks to both our friends at MorphinLegacy.com as well as our very own Kickback, we’re able to confirm that new Power Rangers Dino Supercharge figures have been spotted in the wild! Now showing up at Walmart stores are the Dino Drive Gold Ranger, Dino Drive Aqua Ranger, Dino Drive Purple Ranger, and Dino Drive Graphite Ranger figures. They are in a main aisle half-feature displayer with other Dino Drive figures and the elusive regular forms of Aqua Ranger and Purple Ranger.

If your local Walmart store did NOT put out the side endcap displayer that contained the Dino Steel versions of the Power Rangers Dino Charge figures, there’s a good chance you’re getting this new Dino Drive displayer. These items so far have been found in Colorado Walmarts, both north and south of Denver, Colorado.

Happy hunting! If you do happen to find new toys – let your fellow fans and collectors know! Post your findings in our Toy Sightings Forum, which is broken down by state and region so you don’t have to dig through a ton of posts. Good luck!

Just in time for the end of the year we have another behemoth Rider Machine to review! Not to be entirely outdone by Kamen Rider Drive’s Tridoron,[/URL] the late Showa classic Kamen Rider Black RX swoops in with this massive release to round out the year. S.H. Figuarts Ridoron!

The Ridoron, much like Black RX’s other ally Acrobatter, is a sentient machine that allied itself with RX in the battle against Crisis Empire. The Ridoron figuart is yet another excellent huge addition to the line following in the footsteps of other big releases like Machine Itasha & Tridoron. This one is a very straightforward release with no real accessories aside from the antennae you need to attach. However Ridoron does feature some excellent action features in the form of spring-loaded mandibles in the front bumper and functional turbines in the rear!

S.H. Figuarts Ridoron is another welcome addition to any Kamen Rider Black or Black RX collection. Feel free to check out over 30 images of Ridoron as well as a full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.  And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

The next big Super Sentai & Kamen Rider teamup project has been revealed!

Next spring, we can all look forward to Superhero Year: Kamen Rider 1– a special film commemorating the 45th anniversary of Kamen Rider along with the 40th anniversary of Super Sentai.

No plot details are available at this time, but the poster for this new film reveals a highly-revised new look for Kamen Rider 1. The upcoming Super Sentai team, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger is also featured prominently in the poster- meaning they should have a role in the film.

Superhero Year premieres on March 26, 2016. Stay tuned to Tokunation for further details!
