Revealed last week, we’ve finally gotten confirmed release information for the Complete Selection Modification Decadriver! However some of this information may hurt collector’s wallets. On one hand the Decadriver itself will retail for 12,960 yen, scheduled for release in February 2015.

However, despite initial speculation, it appears the Rider Cards are sold separately.  That’s right, Also being released in February 2015 for 7,560 yen is what appears  to be a “complete” set of Rider Cards. It would seem these cards will be similar to previous premium card archive sets released for other rider shows. The price suggests this will be an extensive collection of cards, possibly including ALL of Decades’ cards used throughout his various show &  film appearances.

More details will be released by Bandai for both the Deacdriver & Rider Cards set  October 24th.

Medicom has just announced/revealed their next upcoming Premium Club release. A true 70’s classic, it’s Real Action Heroes DX Inazuman! 

Inazuman is finally getting the 1/6 scale premium figure treatment with this release and it really does the premium aspect justice. Sold exclusively through the Medicom Premium Club this figure will retail for a whopping 22,000 yen & be released in June 2015. With a high end figure like this coming along, could we see an S.H. Figuart in the near future?

Much like they did with the fan favrioute Arms Change series last year, the latest issue of Figuroh has previews on just how this year’s gimmick based action figure will work. Kamen Rider Drives Tire Koukan.

The gimmick figure looks similar to the OOO Combo Change figures where the figure itself splits apart into sections to allow the tires to be swapped out. Right off the bat, TK01 Drive Type Speed also includes his Flare Wheel for an alternate.

TK01 Kamen Rider Drive is scheduled to come out next month, retailing for 3456 yen.

Another gem from the new magazine scans: we now have our first look at the villainous Black Beet from Juukou B-Fighter – better known to Western audiences as Shadow Borg from Big Bad Beetleborgs or perhaps as General Venjix in Power Rangers Wild Force.

Black Beet will be available in March 2015 and cost 5814 Yen. Sadly it appears this evil robot is a Tamashii Web Exclusive, requiring a middleman to purchase. Interested fans, keep an eye on preorder sites or contact your preferred buyer if you wish to add Black Beet to your shelf!

One of the coolest things to come out of the entire Power Rangers fandom over the years is that the kids who grew up watching it are now old enough to begin producing their own work – and a lot of them are! Introducing “Teenagers With Attitude”, a self-funded fan film reboot of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, but done in a more modern and (in some cases) realistic setting in regards to the teenagers themselves.

This fan film was written by, directed by, shot by, and edited by Cisco Davis Jr. Check it out below!

I think you’ll agree this was one heck of a fun show. Here’s to hoping Cisco will release a follow up because that is one hell of a teaser at the end! Sound off in the comments your thoughts on Teenagers With Attitude!

TokuNation is continuing a Titanium Powered week of galleries with another winner, Super Legends Titanium Ranger!

Following up on our 5″ Super Megaforce Titanium gallery we wanted to take a look at the first “super” figure of this character. Super Legends was a brief albeit very popular line of roughly 6″ scale rangers (and 1 villain) inserted into case assortments of Power Rangers Jungle Fury & RPM figures. Unfortunately the line ended prematurely when the Power Rangers franchise was cancelled with RPM, but of the figures released Titanium Ranger is one of the best. It fact it’s one of the best figures ever released of the character. Super Legends Titanium Ranger is a must own if you’re a fan of the character at all.

Check out 40 images of this great figure as well as a full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And be sure to stay tuned this week as we bring you images of the long awaited Power Morphicon Ranger Key Set featuring Titanium Ranger & Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger!

It’s time for another episode of Talkin Toku!

Join Kickback, Den-O, Sentai Tamashii, and special guest host Danny as they discuss their thoughts and feelings about the upcoming finale of one of the most well-received toku series in recent memory – Kamen Rider Gaim!

In the toy talk segment they discuss the hunt for Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures at their local Walgreens, as well as their reactions to the Kamen Rider Gaim Overlord weapons in the upcoming release of the Arms Change Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi Arms figure.

Conversation is lost when … well, the graphic in the story will make a lot more sense. Around 20 minutes in the fact we’re unscripted with no clear direction rears its ugly head as conversation changes to Chuck E Cheese?

But take a listen – find out who is right, who is wrong, and who was way off base when the Kamen Rider Gaim live stream airs later this afternoon and releases via sub groups next week!

There’s also a bit of talk about Power Rangers Dino Charge, a small wishlist for the 2015 Super Sentai series, and more stuff!

Enjoy the episode and we’ll see you on the flip side of the series finale of Kamen Rider Gaim in a little over a week!
