A brand-new full-length trailer for the upcoming Kamen Rider Drive is now online! This extensive preview gives us a close look at Drive’s Shift Cars and combat styles, along with a brief hint at the upcoming Movie War!
Kamen Rider Drive premieres October 5th! Until then stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this amazing new hero!
When trouble rears its ugly head, you’d better make it a Lightspeed Rescue!
Continuing the galleries of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures, we’re proud to bring you another legendary Red Ranger gallery. Having surged in popularity in recent years his figure is desired by many and found by few. That’s right – we’re talking about the Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger, Carter Grayson.
Releasing in Wave 4 of the 5″ figure assortment, this figure is actually harder to find than you might expect – a lot of stores never got Wave 4 and if they did, you had one (at most maybe two) chances at grabbing the figure as he was packaged one per case.
To see all 32 images of this figure and to read the review, simply click here! And stay tuned to TokuNation.com for more upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5 Inch Figures – including an AWESOME looking gallery coming of the Titanium Ranger and the gallery everyone has been waiting for, the Zeo Gold Ranger!
A special thanks to Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com for helping obtain this figure!
Just because Kamen Rider Decade is years and years old now doesn’t mean we don’t still have some cards up our sleeve! We are very happy to present to you a review and a gallery from an older figure from the S.H. Figuarts line, which is none other than Kamen Rider Diend. Courtesy of our photo contributor ryan, we have 26 images to share with you of this character from one of the popular (and debated) Kamen Rider series!
But just like every figure out there this one has some flaws. What are they, and does ryan think this older figure compares at all to the newer body styles found in the S.H. Figuarts being released today? Click here for the full gallery and review, then share your thoughts on Kamen Rider Diend!
A fresh batch of Premium Bandai Lock Seeds have just hit the market, and the first video demos of the DX Pinecone, Walnut, and promotional Sid Lock Seeds have hit Youtube, courtesy of a Japanese toy reviewer.
More interestingly is that the video showcases just how the SId’s personal Lock Seed works.
It’s important to note that the Seed was not designed to work in any of line’s Roleplay toys. Instead, the Seed functions exactly like a Gashapon one and contains quotes from the Lock Dealer himself.
Kamen Ride, Decade!
It looks like it’s time for another releases in Premium Bandai’s line of high end rider belts! Following up from the recently released CSM Kabuto Zecter its seems the next belt up for the treatment is the Complete Selection Modification Decadriver! The belt of Kamen Rider Decade appears to include at least the all the Heisei Rider cards he used to henshin throughout the series.
No word yet on what else may be included with the belt card wise, or what the price and release date might be. But we’ll keep you posted as new details and information become available.
The newest Kamen Rider Gaim Arms Change Premium releases is at hand!
Youtube reviewer k2eizo gives us a close look at Premium Bandai 03- featuring Kamen Rider Sigurd and Kamen Rider Marika!

And you thought VR Troopers, Syber-Squad, & Power Rangers anniversaries were the only milestones this month!
The one and only Kickback’s birthday is today! Of course Kickback AKA Chris is the the founder of TokuNation itself and the man behind everything since it’s inception. A lot of you know him from the TFW2005 forums and his work in the Transformer fandom over the last decade. But luckily he jumped ship and created this place for all of us to enjoy and share! It’s safe to say that a lot of us wouldn’t have a welcoming environment to discuss our spandex heroes, bug men, giant monsters, toys, and everything else in between without Kickback’s hard work for us over the last 3 years.
So please take a moment out of your day to wish one of my best friends in the world, Kickback, a happy birthday! TokuNation is what it is thanks to you buddy!
With a recent anniversary for VR Troopers, you may not have realized another series premiered only a week later in 1994. Celebrating it’s 20th Anniversary today is Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad! Unlike the majority of other 90’s tokusatsu this series was not a Saban production nor was it adapted from a Toei series. Syber-Squad was brought to the US by DIC-Entertainment and was in fact adapted from the Tsuburaya series Denkou Choujin Gridman. The focus was on our main hero Sam Collins who transformed into the digital hero Servo, and along with Team Samurai would enter the digital world to fight the forces of the evil Kilokahn Artificial Intelligence.
Though the series never quite had the staying power of it’s Saban competitors Syber-Squad actually still has a decent following today. The original Japanese releases of the DX toy line have become just as expensive if not more so than many Sentai toys released in the same era. And even items from the American counterpart toy line produced by Playmates can still command a high price on the secondary market. Just last year Mill Creek Entertainment released the entirety of Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad on two DVD sets that can be easily found around the $10 range now.
Take a moment to reflect on Syber-Squad and it’s impact on the western toku market, and while you’re at it check out some previous galleries we’ve posted relating to the series:

Mirroring what happened with the Legacy Dragonzord before it’s release, Bandai UK has just revealed brand new in hands images of the upcoming Legacy Titanus!
This whopping behemoth will retail for $200 at Toys R Us this fall, and as you can clearly see is meant to be combined with the previously released Legacy Megazord & Dragonzord to complete the Legacy Ultrazord! If you can’t tell already Titanus is huge and apparently very heavy. Be on the lookout for this bad boy on TRU shelves in the coming months!
