Finally, out of the shadows we have our first official look at the newest Super Sentai: Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!!  Premiering on February 15th, 2015!

This full scan of the catalogue cover for the 39th Super Sentai seems to confirm the toy release information we discovered yesterday as well. Meaning we’re in for a pretty unique year theme wise. Further this image also makes mention of 1994 & 2002 in references to Kakuranger & Hurricanger respectively. Much like Kyoryuger’s dino team up could we expect something similar for our ninja theme heroes?

Stay tuned to TokuNation.com as we update this developing story!

Shifting into Top Gear, Premium Bandai has made a surprise announcement with the reveal of a replica Kamen Rider Drive insignia.

Pre orders will be going live on December 22nd and the piece will come out in February 2015. Despite it’s appearance, the emblem is actually made out of ABS according to the Premium Bandai listing.

Nininininininininininininini Ninninger!

The crew of Talkin Toku is back yet again with an action packed episode promising to dull your senses and cause you regret! Join Chris “Kickback”, Jordan “Den-O”, and Tom “Sentai Tamashii” for this trip down toku discussion lane!

Did you get your S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms figure yet? We did – and we’re not happy. Listen to us rant about what all three agree is the worst quality controlled product to come out of Tamashii Nations in quite awhile. We also discuss Power Rangers Dino Charge toys – namely the Dino Charge Megazord – and whether or not we think it’s a good toy and what, if anything, it has over it’s predecessor the Legendary Megazord from Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

EXCLUSIVE! Tom fails at being a good administrator at a leading tokusatsu website community. The plus side? You get to hear his reaction to the first image of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger during the podcast. What does he think? This is actually a pretty neat thing because how often does a fan of Super Sentai have their first reaction to the new series recorded? Check it out, it’s a pretty fun listen. We also touch on speculation of the upcoming series including what our thoughts are on possible henshin devices and so forth. And marbles. That’s right – marbles. Tom talks marbles. I can’t make this up if I tried. Just listen.

Power Rangers Dino Charge had the theme song and the smart phone app come out. Does it get the seal of approval from the guys? What about the theme song – what works, what doesn’t work, and does it hold up? Tom gives his $0.02 as he describes his youngest son’s reaction to the theme song.

We also take an in-depth look at the extended episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce as we end our discussion on the series that seems to have divided part of the fandom in terms of “IT SUCKS” versus “IT KIND OF SUCKS”. What parts of the extended episode were good? Which were unnecessary? And was it really as special as we all thought it was? Jordan gives his rundown on why he feels it was a lackluster extended battle, while Chris and him get in to it about one of the more fandom-popular moments of the extended Legendary Battle.

Finally – we talk some Toku Toy Box giveaway as the episode ends. Have you registered on TokuNation.com yet and posted in the eligible threads so you can win? You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, but don’t miss your chance at entering in each qualifying thread!

Enjoy! Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!

under Kamen Rider

2015 is about to kick off, and we have news of next year’s big Rider movie with a copyright trademark appearing for Kamen Rider Drive VS All Riders: Kamen Rider Taisen The Second!

Unfortunately, we only have a name to go on for now so plot details are a currently non existent but we should be seeing trailers for the film in the coming weeks.

under Power Rangers

Thanks to our friends over at Rangercrew we have yet another look at the forthcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie figure range due for release sometime next year. Previously seen at New York Comic Con, these official Bandai press photos give us a better look at the accessories that will be included with each figure. However for reasons unknown the White Ranger movie figure is missing from this set of images.

Fans of the movie will be pleased to know that Red and Yellow Rangers will come with alternate heads for their Power Scope and Power Beam abilities, which were entirely unique to the film. With the Pink Ranger figure previously revealed to have the Pterodactyl Thunder Whip, hopefully this will mean the Blue Ranger will have his Stega Stinger grappling device. Meanwhile Ivan Ooze will come with an alternate hand holding the flute used to destroy the Command Centre near the beginning of the film.

We’ll bring you more news about these highly anticipated figures’ release as it comes, but in the meantime check out these new images after the jump!
