An interesting new story has hit the web, courtesy of the good people at The Tokusatsu Network:

After some on the set spy shots captured what was thought to be this Drive Type last month, it was only a matter of time before toy images surfaced. The wait is over now, Tire Koukan TK-05 Drive Type Technique is revealed!

The first thing you should notice is that like Type Wild, Type Technique shuffles the Tire Koukan gimmick around again. Type Speed had a sash along the torso, Wild had a shoulder attachment, but for Type Technique the Tire’s attach to the neck!

This figure will be released in December around the same time as TK-06 Machine Chaser, Drive Type Technique will retail for 3456 yen.

Take this discovery with a grain of salt for now but it appears we may have found our first packaged image of the Original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie White Ranger Legacy Morpher! Originally revealed at SDCC 2014 this morpher was thought to be released in 2015 at Toys R Us.

Posted by Instagram user loonztm the original source for this image has yet to be found. Supposedly this Movie Legacy Morpher was found within a Toys R Us location of some kind, whether that’s a retail store or a warehouse location is unknown, and then posted online. While it certainly appears to be a legitimate shot of the box for this upcoming Toys R Us exclusive, we’ve yet to be able to confirm that.

We’ll keep you updated on any new information for this product as it becomes available!

Let’s be real for a moment – who HASN’T seen the Legendary Battle finale episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce? Many of us already have – in different languages than English – and we saw it over a month ago. So this news is particularly sweet to hear – there IS an extended version of Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Battle, and it will premiere on Monday, November 24th on Nick Toons from 11pm to 12:15am (this block will contain “The Wrath” as well as “Legendary Battle”). This extended version has not aired anywhere in the world and we were first made aware of it when the cast of Power Rangers Super Megaforce tweeted about doing more ADR in the last couple of weeks.

What will we see? Will we get some talking parts for those who didn’t speak? Will that picture that popped up of Astronema appear in the episode? Are we going to get another 5 minutes of Mighty Morphin Green Ranger doing kiyas? Time will tell!

This episode will be available in its entirety on Nick.com as well as the Nickelodeon Smart Phone App the following morning of Tuesday, November 25th. This information comes through our involvement with Saban Brand’s The Power Force, of which TokuNation.com is proud to have two representatives of on staff.

In a return to an age-old tradition with Power Rangers of the past, we are getting a brand new, never before seen trailer for Power Rangers Dino Charge during the finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce. With multiple tweets and Facebook shares coming from the cast of Power Rangers Dino Charge, they seem to hint at it being more than just what we saw during Power Morphicon.

Catch the season finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce tomorrow on Nickelodeon and be sure to share your thoughts and opinions on the trailer for Power Rangers Dino Charge. Will we see the cast in action? Original footage? Maybe a hint at the theme song? Sound off in discussion by clicking here!

At Power Morphicon 2012, Saban Brands stated that Power Rangers Megaforce/Super Megaforce would be the largest budget spent on Power Rangers in a long, long time. They said this was the anniversary season for the fans – from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers homages galore in Power Rangers Megaforce to Legendary Rangers throughout Power Rangers Super Megaforce. Despite many personal, vocal opinions from Ranger Nation, the show continued to do what it does best – entertain children and promote toy sales. And thus, tomorrow, another series of Power Rangers comes to a close.

Tomorrow morning, Power Rangers Super Megaforce will come to a close with the episode Legendary Battle, featuring the return of previous Power Rangers including the iconic Jason David Frank as Tommy Oliver, the original Mighty Morphin Green Ranger. This marks the end of one chapter of Power Rangers and at the same time, opens a new chapter when Power Rangers Dino Charge premieres in February 2015, which is slowly becoming one of the most anticipated Power Rangers shows in recent memory, due mostly to the involvement of famed Power Rangers crew veteran Judd Lynn and an extremely likable (and open!) cast.

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last 18 months, here’s the list of returning Power Rangers in the final episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce:

  • Jason David Frank as Tommy, the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger
  • Selwyn Ward as TJ, the In Space Blue Ranger
  • Patricia Ja Lee as Cassie, the In Space Pink Ranger
  • Danny Slavin as Leo, the Lost Galaxy Red Ranger
  • Reggie Rolle as Damon, the Lost Galaxy Green Ranger
  • Melody Perkins as Karone, the Lost Galaxy Pink Ranger
  • Sean CW Johnson as Carter, the Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger
  • Alison MacInnis as Dana, the Lightspeed Rescue Pink Ranger
  • Jason Faunt as Wes, the Time Force Red Ranger
  • Hector David Jr. as Mike, the Green Samurai Ranger
  • Brittany Pirtle as Emily, the Yellow Samurai Ranger

Wild!

TokuNation continues racing down the track of justice with Kamen Rider Drive! And today we bring you another gallery & video pairing from the Tire Koukan toyline, it’s none other than TK-03 Kamen Rider Drive Type Wild!

Type Wild is only the second stand alone figure release in this line but it already sets the bar high. Rather than just a decent figure like the previously released Type Speed, or a stand alone accessory set like TK-02, Drive Type Wild is the full package. An excellently detailed figure complemented by the perfect accessories. His standard Type Wild Tire, the Rumble Dump Tire capable of splitting off it’s drill attachment for hand to hand use, and to top it of the Handle Sword! Type Wild really has it all, with that mean walking tank look and these weapons it’s a definite winner.

Below is a video review of TK-03 Drive Type Wild by my good friend and frequent collaborator Baltmatrix! Be sure to watch the review below and stay up to date with all his reviews by following him @baltmatrix on twitter and subscribing to his youtube page!

And after the jump we’ve assembled 70 images of this excellent figure for your viewing pleasure! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” to be taken to the full gallery thread. Baltmatrix & I will be back once again in the near future with a series of Power Rangers Dino Charge reviews as well!

Following the release of S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed’s offical gallery just yesterday, the S.H.Figuarts Trideron compaion piece was featured in much more detail in this month’s issue of Figureoh magazine along with our first look at the inside of the figure itself. S.H.Figuarts Drive will be able to fit inside of course, though how this will be done is still unknown.

 

With how much press the S.H.Figuarts Trideron is receiving, the possibility for an actual release seems highly likely! Though whether or not this will be mass retail or Web Shop only, the scans do not say.

At the recently held Miyazawa Model Exhibition, Medicom was present to unveil new products. Of note, we have a new RAH DX Kamen Rider Black 2.0 on the way.

The high end Century King will be going up for pre order this January and will be shipped sometime in August.

The cost of the figure will be a steep 22,680 yen but the time gap between release should offer plenty of time to save up.
