START YOUR ENGINE!! Because all we need is Drive! S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive that is, and you can get your very own in April of 2015 for 4,320 yen.  Tamashii Nations went all out and provided many detail pictures of Kamen Rider Drive as well as a YouTube Video.  Unfortunately the pictures did not disclose Tamashii Nation’s plans with the tire change gimmick features heavily in the show, but the YouTube video did show Kamen Rider Drive with the Max Flare form.  For now, enjoy the pictures and get ready to lose all the tiny shift cars and tell us if you are ready for Drive in our discussion forum.

 

UPDATE: We stumbled upon another image thanks to @pencoin on twitter, it seems that the April release will come with the bonus swappable Max Flare Tire and flame effect, and then Midnight Shadow and Funky Spike will follow in May and June respectively

Joining the Tire Koukan line next month it seems TK-06 Machine Chaser will be more of an all inclusive package than we thought. Not only will he include his Break Gunner weapon but also all 3 weapons accessed from his Chaser Spider, Chaser Bat, & Chaser Cobra Viral Cores! This new image of Machine Chaser also confirms his compatibility with Kamen Rider Drive’s Tires!

So now we know that Machine Chaser can steal and use Shift Cars as recent episodes have shown, the toy demonstrates his ability to use Drive’s Tires, and we know that in the near future his bike the Ride Chaser will have a combination features with Kamen Rider Mach’s Ride Macher. What do all these bits of information amount to? We’ll find out in the coming months.

For now be sure to pick up TK-06 Machine Chaser which releases in December for 3456 yen.

It’s almost December which means time to get ready for that Holliday shopping. For those out there looking to get the perfect stocking stuffer for that special Toku fan, there’s Super Hero Generations: a crossover title involving Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and Mobile Suit Gundam which was released on PS3 and PS Vita just last month.

For those still on the fence on picking this title up, multiple videos have found their way onto Youtube. Of note, we have the game’s opening cinematic with Psychic Lover singing the opening theme song

Along with that, we have a couple of gameplay videos of note we have the very first stage of the game which introduces Ultraman Tiga and Kamen Rider Den-O and the stages that introduce Ultraman Ginga and Kamen Rider OOO, the OOO stage seems to be following the Megamax plot with some slight alteration:

The hits just keep coming this weekend! Power Rangers Dino Charge products continue to trickle out to retail and as they do more and more of our users are finding them. Today our very own GoseiWonder has come upon the Dino Charge Dino Cycle with Black Ranger figure!

Found at the St Cloud MN Toys R Us location, the Dino Cycle is Power Rangers Dino Charge’s interpretation of the Deinochaser motorcycle from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. The example found here is a red/silver variation of the standard yellow/black Dino Cycle and comes packed with the Dino Charge Black Ranger 4″ figure. A standard yellow/black Dino Cycle with Red Ranger is also currently hitting retail as is a silver/black variant including a Blue Ranger.

Contrary to popular belief the Dino Cycle indeed splits into it’s two dino zord components though not in the same way as it’s Japanese counterpart. It does however feature Zord Builder ports making it compatible with the other zords in the Dino Charge toyline. Check out 20 images after the jump of this set and look below for a quick  & dirty un-boxing video from GoseiWonder as well!

Check back with us later in the week for an in depth Hi-res gallery of the Dino Cycle set as well! As more Dino Charge product hits retail we’ll be covering every piece of it!

If you’ve found new toys – tell us! Tell your fellow collectors! Post your sighting in our state-by-state Sightings forum! Don’t forget you can also tweet us your findings @TokuNation on Twitter and we’ll retweet it to the rest of Ranger Nation!

It’s finally here!

One of the most anticipated figures to be released since Power Rangers Super Megaforce released this time last year, the Power Rangers Dino Charge Megazord has been found at various Toys’R’Us stores in the midwest of the United States! And thanks to our good friend trekkieb47, we have an extensive first look, in-hand image gallery to bring you of this figure.

The first thing you will notice – Triceratops is pink! And not just kind-of pink. We’re talking full on “bubblegum” pink. That’s a win for the fans – and a special thanks to Bandai of America for listening to the fans on this one. You also receive a clear Red Ranger Dino Charger – and only one. You do not receive a Dino Charger for the Stego or Tricera zords. But why let me tell you? Trekkieb47 has that covered! Check out his unboxing video below!

Check out nearly 60 images of this highly desired figure by clicking the title of the story! Images watermarked by request of the photographer. And don’t forget to check out the other two exclusives we did earlier – Power Rangers Dino Charge Para Zord, and Power Rangers Dino Charge Raptor Zord!
