Our final villain gallery from the original Power Rangers Dino Charge 5″ figure line is here with the villain Slammer, who we saw in an early episode of the show capture our beloved Koda and Chase. Unfortunately, that may have been the character’s highlight, as the toy doesn’t really meet up to any expectations (unless you set them pretty low).

Find out in 15 pictures why we this toy doesn’t need to be on your “must buy” list. Simply click ”Discuss on TokuNation Forums link at the end of the page to check the full gallery and the review!

What do you think of this figure? Did you collect the villain figures that were released, and if so what do you think of Bandai America‘s run on bad guy toys, the first in quite a few years? Sound off!

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!
