S.I.C. Kikaider at least might be coming out sooner than we think with a new Bandai teaser image having been released. Giving us a much clearer look at what the finished design should end up looking like. At the moment, there’s not that much info to go on but stay tuned and we’ll keep you up to date as more becomes available.

A recent story at ComicBook.com gives us a few more details about the supporting cast for this new season!


Lining up to aide and challenge this season’s Power Rangers are Keeper, Poisandra, and Sledge. In Power Rangers Dino Charge, a prehistoric cache of 10 powerful “Energems” become the target of Sledge, an intergalactic bounty hunter, and his fiancee, Poisandra. Protecting the gems is Keeper, who must enlist the Power Rangers’ help in finding the gems and keeping the alien enemies at bay.

As the Power Rangers’ guiding force, Keeper is the reptile-like creature tasked with the responsibility of guarding the highly sought after Energems, which provide the Power Rangers Dino Charge with their unique set of abilities. An ancient being who has protected the Energems since prehistoric time, Keeper will also be a moral and spiritual compass for the Power Rangers during their times of struggle.

And the Rangers will certainly struggle, as the season’s villains, Sledge and Poisandra, will stop at nothing to find the Energems and destroy the Power Rangers. A selfish bounty hunter with aspirations for invincibility, fame, and riches, Sledge is the least-worthy person in the universe to obtain the gems. Still, his foul ways don’t seem to phase the equally despicable Poisandra, his partner and fiancee with selfish intentions of her own.

This is the first story confirming the existence of Sledge’s fiancee, a character fans may recognize as Lady Candelira from Kyoryuger.

The news dropped a couple of days ago that The Ranger fan film will be getting a sequel which will release in Spring 2015. Today, a teaser trailer was dropped by Matt Jayson who stars as The Ranger. Check it out below.

The Ranger takes a look at our hero, Jason Lee Scott (played by Matt Jayson), in the present day. The original film captured the audience’s attention because it portrayed Jason in a more real-life sense – just how would a teenager with attitude cope with having to give up so much of their young life to save the world only to end up losing their powers and then having to figure a way to make it on their own without being able to reveal just who they were and what they did? Would they be bitter? Would they suffer from a form of PTSD? The Ranger gave us a glimpse at that entire situation before getting in to the story – that Agent Kimberly Hart has gone missing, and there’s only one person that they can think of to find her and get her back – Jason, aka The Ranger.

Share your thoughts on this teaser and what you hope to see in the next installment of The Ranger! And if you have some questions, be sure to ask them – we’ll be sitting down with the creator and star of the film, Matt Jayson, very soon so he can answer all of our, and all of your, questions!

New magazine scans have revealed a special new power-up form for the current Kamen Rider series: Type DeadHeat!

DeadHeat is a form apparently shared by Kamen Rider Drive & Kamen Rider Mach, allowing one Rider to use the other’s abilities. The resulting hybrid form is definitely an unique visual for this series.

Type DeadHeat should be appearing this February! Tune in to Kamen Rider Drive and see what this new form is truly capable of!

A plethora of new images for the 39th Super Sentai Series have been uploaded online! These were officially released during last weekends’ press conference, which introduced the Ninningers to the world.

In addition to the fantastic new looks at ShurikenJin and the Ninninger fighting styles, we also learned a bit more about the story behind this new series:

*The plot will involve searching for the 48 Sealing Shurikens that were originally used to trap the Fanged Demon Army. Some of the Shurikens are used by the Ninningers, a few have been taken by the Yokai- and the rest are missing for now.

It’s another year of Power Rangers merchandise which means it’s another year for the continuation of the Armored Might sub-line of figures. Following the successful line of figures from Power Rangers Super Megaforce which included figures like the Silver Ranger, Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, and Mighty Morphin White Ranger, the first figure to be released in the Power Rangers Dino Charge line is none other than the star of the show – the Dino Charge Red Ranger.

Featuring a grand total of 12 accessories and the now commonplace heavy muscular build, this figure is able to be posed in a variety of ways. The included accessories allow you to customize your Ranger to match all of his on-screen appearances with various Dino Charger power-ups. But even this muscular hulk of a hero has his flaws.

Check out the full gallery as well as our review by clicking here or by clicking on the “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” link at the bottom of this post. Have you picked up this figure? Do you plan to? What do you think this figure needs to make it a must-buy? Sound off in the discussion thread!

And here’s a special treat – our own staff member baltmatrix purchased this figure and did a quick review on it. Find out his thoughts and see if they match your own with the video below.
