For now file this one under the maybe category.

Bandai of America revealed a cryptic teaser for their San Diego Comic-Con 2015 exclusives just last week. And while we have a good idea what those 4 items are (1 of them confirmed to be non-toku) we may have a new item in the mix. An ebay listing has just been discovered for what appears to be a Loyal Subjects Mighty Morphin Red Ranger vinyl cast in translucent red plastic. While we haven’t heard about this figure being available at SDCC yet, it could be a similar case to the translucent Ranger Keys that were passed out at the show last year where select attendees received them.

For now feel free to speculate on the claim that this is an SDCC 2015 figure. As a Loyal Subjects item it wouldn’t be part of BOA’s pre-show reveals so right now we have no way to confirm it’s validity. As SDCC approaches (July 9th-12th) news will begin to trickle out about the upcoming exclusives, as it does we’ll be there to share all the information with you! And be sure to follow TokuNation as we report LIVE from SDCC yet again!

It’s finally here – the debut episode for the final form for Kamen Rider Drive – and we’ve got an episode synopsis with review (and pictures!) for you to enjoy. This episode features the debut of Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron, which as previously stated is the final power up form for Kamen Rider Drive.

Having just debuted in yesterday’s episode of Kamen Rider Drive, today brings us official images of the 11th entry in the Tire Koukan toyline!

TK-11 Drive Type Tridoron is Kamen Rider Drive’s final form, as such it really has all the bells an whistles of a final form toy. The figure includes the base Type Tridoron Tire as well as the first of several blended 3-in-1 tires, in this case the People Saver Tire. A combo of Justice Hunter, Mad Doctor, & Fire Braver. Of note is an additional Tire Koukan connector around the left wrist much like Type Formula. The figure also appears to feature a visor dial gimmick which allows you to change between the yellow visor (Shinnosuke) & red visor (Mr Belt).

TK-11 Drive Type  Tridoron will be released in July for 3780 yen.

After a case assortment pre-order for Power Rangers Dino Charge 5″ Wave 5 was posted at Entertainment Earth just yesterday, someone has already found them at US retail! Instagram user @mikey_the_husky was lucky enough to stumble across the 5″ Ptera Charge Megazord, Gold Ranger & Graphite Ranger at Walmart in Dinuba, CA.

While the rest of the assortment has yet to be seen at retail (the Dino Drive Rangers) it’s only a matter of time before they pop up as well! On top of finding these brand new figures Mikey has seen fit to share the on package bios of both Gold & Graphite Rangers as well! MAJOR SPOILERS below:

 

Gold Ranger Bio-

Spoiler:
“900 years ago, Ivan was a valiant young knight who dared to chalenge Fury for the Gold Energem. Having finally escaped his imprisonment years later, Ivan joins the Power Rangers as the Gold Ranger. He brings legendary skill to the team as we wield’s a magnificent saber and morpher that doubles as a weapon”.

Graphite Ranger Bio-

Spoiler:
“Prince Phillip admires the Power Rangers and aspires to be like them- so much so that he embarks on a quest to find his own Energem and become a ranger too!”

Let us know if you find any of the new Wave 5 Dino Charge figures by posting in our Toy Sightings forum, a state by state breakdown of what you can find and where!

“Excellency, surely you remember me? Goldar, your faithful servant.”

Well we certainly do! And it would seem that Mattel does as well! The inaugural releases in the company’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Imaginext line have begun to hit retail in recent weeks and we’ve gotten our hands on one such set for gallery & review. Imaginext Goldar & Rita Repulsa!

This set takes the mighty Sorceress Rita Repulsa and shrinks her down while taking her most famous general and making that monster grow! Goldar is a simplistic but large and imposing toy. Featuring the pattented Imaginext Power Pad gimmick, Goldar can unleash his mighty wings or swing his sword! While Rita can mount behind Goldar’s head with her Magical Staff. 

While aimed at children (ages 3-8) this set will undoubtedly appeal to adult collectors and fans of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for it’s big play value. We’ve attached a selection of images to the front page but you can check out over 50 images of Imaginext Goldar & Rita Repulsa by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!

One can never have enough of the hit series Kamen Rider Gaim! Revealed just a few short weeks ago, the Official Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden page has been updated with an image showcasing the next two focus Riders – Kamen Rider Duke and Kamen Rider Knuckle – as well as release date information and yet another exclusive Lock Seed!

Available in both DVD or in Blu-Ray, you can also order the DVD or Blu-Ray with a new exclusive Lock Seed! Needless to say, if there’s some more arms changing that happens, like in the last Kamen Rider Gaim Gaiden, you can probably expect some new figures to come along with it! Official pricing has the DVD at 4,500 yen without Lock Seed or 7,000 yen with, and the Blu-Ray is 5,500 yen without Lock Seed, and 8,000 yen with.

As more details come out we’ll be sure to share them! In the mean time, join the discussion! Are you excited for more Kamen Rider Gaim? Sound off!

UPDATE! So we’re getting a normal, non-energy DX Lemon Lock Seed along with a Kamen Rider Duke face plate for the Sengoku Driver!

Thanks to twitter user @Rickman0804 for this one! Revealed via a Dino Charger packaging insert image we have our first look at the 5″ Graphite Ranger figure from Power Rangers Dino!

Graphite Ranger, as well as the other extra rangers this season have yet to receive much or any attention yet from Bandai Of America’s toyline. However we knew from our Toy Fair 2015 coverage that the Packy Zord for Graphite was on it’s way. So It’s good to see the extra rangers have NOT been forgotten by the 5″ line!

The end of the retail release of the Ranger Keys toy line from Power Rangers Super Megaforce has come – the final keys have been released at Toys’R’Us stores. That being said – we decided to take a look at these keys in what we’re calling the Ranger Key Celebration Week here at TokuNation.com!

Before we look at the Power Rangers Jungle Fury B assortment of Ranger Keys, please take a moment and check out our previous Ranger Key galleries!

– Power Morphicon – Titanium Ranger & Wolf Ranger Exclusive Key Set
– Zeo Ranger Keys – Set A & B
– Lost Galaxy Ranger Keys Set B
– Operation Overdrive Ranger Keys Set B
– Wild Force Ranger Keys Set B
– Samurai Ranger Keys Set B
– Time Force Ranger Keys Set B
– In Space Ranger Keys Set B
– Dino Thunder Ranger Keys Set B

Easily one of the best sets in the bunch, the Power Rangers Super Megaforce – Power Rangers Jungle Fury Ranger Keys Set B comes with three awesome Ranger Keys – a translucent Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger Key, a translucent Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger Key, and a Jungle Fury Rhino Ranger Key. For those who don’t remember – the Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger was one of the finalists Ranger Keys from the Morphin Madness contest from 2014 but ultimately did not end up in the Final 5 Winners. The normal version (well, kind of normal) of this Ranger Key was available as a Power Morphicon 2015 exclusive. You can find that gallery, which also features the Titanium Ranger, by clicking here. This set completes your Power Rangers Jungle Fury Ranger Keys collection – the Jungle Fury Red Ranger, Jungle Fury Blue Ranger, and normal version of Jungle Fury Yellow Ranger were released in the initial release of the Ranger Keys.

Speaking of which – how cool is it to have a translucent key of a female Ranger? It turned out real nice and we’re big fans of it.
