The first magazine scans for the 40th Super Sentai Series have been posted online! In addition to some fantastic new shots of this upcoming team, we appear to have an accepted English spelling for the series- Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!

While story details are unfortunately lacking at this time, we have learned that each Zyuohger has a personal title (likely part of the teams’ roll call) relating to their animal spirit. The Zyuohgers are referred to as Ohja– meaning Ruler or Monarch.

*Zyuoh Eagle is Ruler of the Skies
*Zyuoh Shark Monarch of the Rough Seas
*Zyuoh Lion is Ruler of the Savannah
*Zyuoh Elephant is Monarch of Forests
*Zyuoh Tiger is Ruler of the Snow Fields

These scans also give us some excellent up-close looks at the teams’ arsenal, including the Zyuoh Buster, the Eagrizer, and the Monarch of Robots, Zyuoh King!

Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger is officially scheduled to begin on February 14, 2016! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all details for this new Super Sentai Series!

A plethora of new Kamen Rider Ghost magazine scans have been posted online! These give us some remarkable details about the future of this haunted hero!

*First up, we have an up-close look at Kamen Rider Ghost Tokon Boost! This blazing red Damashii marks a new stage in power for Takeru, and its weapon- the SunglassSlasher uses a super-strong finishing move nicknamed Mega Omega Shine. In addition, Kamen Rider Ghost will receive two new Damashiis thanks to Tokon Boost: Goemon and Ryoma!

*Kamen Rider Specter will tap the power of the Houdini Eyecon to become Kamen Rider Specter Houdini Damashii! This new form sees Specter combine with his motorcycle, the Machine Hoodie for new & more powerful attacks.

*The third challenger for the Eyecons, Kamen Rider Necrom is fully revealed! Instead of the familiar Ghost Driver, Necrom’s transformation device is a wrist-mounted Changer known as the Megauloder. The identity of this new Rider is sadly unknown at time of writing.

Last but certainly not least, a series of Kamen Rider Ghost special episodes will be posted on Toei’s official Youtube channel to celebrate Kamen Rider’s 45th Anniversary. Ghost & Specter will each be receiving Legendary Rider Damashiis!

*The first special, Drive Chapter will be released on January 15 2016 and feature Kamen Rider Ghost Drive Damashii fighting the Heart Roimude.
*The second special, W Chapter is set for release on January 29 2016 and focuses on Kamen Rider Specter W Damashii VS the Terror Dopant.
*The third (and believed final) special, Gaim Chapter is scheduled for February 12 2016 and will see Ghost Gaim Damashii face off against Lord Baron.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider Ghost! Stay tuned to Tokunation as we keep you up to date on all Ghostly details!

Another image of the 40th Super Sentai Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger toyline has surfaced online, giving us a much closer look at new Red Ranger Jyuuou Eagle transforming into an even more powerful form- Jyuuou Gorilla!

The form-change is referred to as Visor Up in the catalog; Jyuuou Eagle pushes the “beak” portion of his helmet upward to channel his second animal spirit. And this is more than just a cosmetic variation- Jyuuou Gorilla is depicted with HUGE muscles to signify the increase in power!

Will the other Jyuuougers be able to Visor Up as well? Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all details for this new series! And feel free to join in our Ongoing Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about the new Sentai!

A pair of new Tamashii Web Exclusives have jsut been confirmed for released in the latest issue of Figure Oh!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser Mach is set for a May 2016 release for 5940 yen. While accessories are not confirmed at the time of this writing, Mach will at least include both his Zenrin Shooter & Kamen Rider Chasers Shingou Axe!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ghost Musashi Damashii is up for a rather late August 2016 release for the similar price of 5832 yen. It looks like Bandai is returning to a riders alternate forms being Web Exclusives. Perhaps due to very very slow pre-orders for Ghost Ore Damashii? In any case Musashii looks to come with it’s version of the Gan Gun Saber at least. But we’ll know more when official images begin to circulate.

Toku Toy Box returns with yet another gallery of a classic toy! Picking up where we left off with our Superchange Kabutack DX Gallery we’re moving 1 year ahead to Kabutack’s follow up series, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack, the final Metal Hero! Today’s gallery will focus on the series lead character in toy form, Magnet Change Robotack!

A revolutionary toy line, Robotack features my absolute favorite gimmick ever; Magnet (Jishakku) Change! Each figure in the line consisted of a central torso with detachable limbs each embedded with a magnet. Not only did this allow you transform each figure from it’s Normal Mode to Super Mode but every figure in the line was totally interchangeable with one another! Any number of unique combinations is possible. Robotack himself is a sturdy die-cast laden toy more than worth adding to your collection, especially for the low prices he’s available for today!

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to view the entire 80 image gallery as well as a full review of this set! We’ve also included a short synopsis of Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack for those unfamiliar with the series. 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!

A new image has hit the Internet, giving fans of Kamen Rider Ghost a quick look at the haunted hero’s next upgrade- the Grateful Damashii!

Grateful appears to be a heavily-armored form with spiked shoulders and a pointed helmet. The previously-revealed Eyecon Driver G said to unlock Grateful Damashii is unfortunately not pictured in this teaser.

Strangely, this new form appears to abandon the clothing-like appearance of previous Damashii. How this will carry over to the Ghost Change action figure series remains to be seen.

Feel free to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Ghost Rumor Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this new upgrade!
