A leaked image has given us a close (albeit blurry) look at the mecha for 39th Super Sentai, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!

This shot of DX Shurikenjin shows all five individual mecha- Shinobimaru, Dragonmaru, Danpumaru, Wanmaru and Byunmaru. Interestingly, the combined form appears to have multiple configurations- according to existing rumors, any one of the five Maru can become the centerpiece for the combination and Shurikenjin will have different abilities or forms based on the central component.

What this image does confirm are the Dog, Dump, & Train components initially reported exclusively here at TokuNation!

Kaiju fans rejoice! Namco Bandai Games just recently announced that the brand new Godzilla game is heading to the west.

The game is currently slated for a release timeframe of Summer 2015 with the actual date and other pre order bonuses to be revealed at another time. Currently, it’s unknown if the game will be released on actual disc or as a digital only title and at this time the game will only be available on Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 consoles.

While we wait for more news to come up, be sure to check out the epic reveal trailer!

After the early reveals this week for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, at least one sneaky Japanese fan has managed to snag a spy shot of the Shuriken Gattai DX Shurikenjin! The full Ninninger catalog should be available any time now. As more and more leaks happen they bring us one step closer to it!

For now though enjoy this image which confirms much of what we’ve seen and heard about Shurikenjin! The humanoid core robot Shinobimaru, the left arm Dragomaru, & the right arm Danpumaru! What the legs look like exactly is still suspect but we’re sure Wanmaru & Byunmaru will be revealed soon as well!

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!

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!
