A DX Lock Seed set and new Arms change figure had been announced as Premium Bandai exclusives just a few days ago, from the same toy event that the announcement was revealed, a new photo of the actual prototypes were released online via TagHobby.

Thanks to this image we hav our first physical look at the DX Yomi Lock Seed & Arms Change PB06 Ryugen Yomotsu Heguri Arms! While there’s no official confirmation yet, the flyer attached t Ryugen indicates that ACPB06 will also include the Overlord’s weapons in addition to the Kiwi Gekirin AND Budou Ryuhou!

The DX Yomi Lock Seed set will be going up for pre order later in August while Arms Change Yomotsu Heguri Arms will be open to order in September, retailing for 2000 yen and 4000 yen respectively.

Picking up where our last gallery left off we bring you the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black RX & Acrobatter Renewal Gallery!

Much like the previously released Black & Battle Hopper Renewals this pair seeks to improve on the design flaws of the originals. In this case they do an even better job! Black RX Renewal realizes the actual suits designs in toy form in a way never done before with the same real suit design details that Black had. Though the figure may have a couple of minor design flaws it’s undeniable that it’s an improvement on the original Black RX. In the accessories alone this version blows the the previous release out of the water, with 5 pairs of hands, two types of Revolcanes, and an alternate Sunriser, you can create nearly any of Black RX’s iconic scenes and poses with ease! Acrobatter Renewal is one in name only for the most part but it’s still an excellent companion to Black RX himself.

For fans of Saban Brands shows from the 90’s you can definitely consider these the perfect versions of Masked Rider & Combat Chopper too!  And if you’re wondering if you can recreate the iconic team-up scenes from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers crossover A Friend In Need, then scroll through our pictures to find out! We have over 70 images of this pair of wonderful figures for you to check out! Simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of the post to see them all!

Even approaching the end, Arms Change still manages another surprise!

Previous listings had hinted at one more Premium Bandai Arms Change exclusive action figure. Now, a new teaser has come online proving that the Premium release in question is Yomotsu Heguri Arms– the interesting new final form unlocked by Mitsuzane seen in recent magazine scans. Preorders for this figure will open in September and cost 4000 Yen.

In addition Premium Bandai will be offering a special DX Yomi LockSeed complete with a new Sengoku Driver faceplate based on this new form. This set will open for orders late August and cost a mere 2000 Yen.

 

 

under Power Rangers

It’s time for another super mega gallery here at TokuNation! We’re back post-SDCC with a legendary gallery of the Armored Might Super Mega Silver Ranger!

This recently released figure is a part of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce fall assortments but it’s been trickling into retail for the last couple of months now. Being that it’s in the fall assortments we haven’t actually seen the Silver Ranger, Orion, use his powered up “gold mode” on the show yet. But that’s of course the main gimmick of this toy. As with all Armored Might figures, Silver Ranger includes a set of removable armor components that are compatible with the rest of the figures in the line, as well as a few trademark accessories of his own.

Why not check out our 80 image gallery and full review of this fun new figure after the jump? Or perhaps before that you can take a look at our good friend baltmatrix’s video review of the figure below!

under Conventions, Power Morphicon, Power Rangers

Just because there wasn’t an official update from Power Morphicon this week doesn’t mean that news didn’t break! For starters – if you haven’t registered yet we’re sorry to inform you that registration has ended. To attend the show you will now have to buy a pass at the show the day of the show each day. We can’t say we didn’t warn you though! And now for the rest of the news!

It was announced that there will be an official tournament for the defunct Power Rangers Action Card Game! For those who collected, sets one through four were released here in the United States, while set five was released only in Europe. However, the tournament will be open to anyone who would like to participate and they can use any of the cards and promo cards ever released. There will be prizes for the winner(s), including an entire set of the unreleased series 5 and more! Stay tuned for updates on how to enter so you can play.

Now on to the sad news – Jason Smith, better known as Casey the Jungle Fury Red Ranger has cancelled his appearance at the show. He has promised, however, to do some fun fan related events, contests, and so forth in the future. But we can’t end on bad news – so let’s bring up some good news! Previously cancelled guest Alyson Kiperman, who played Taylor the Wild Force Yellow Ranger, has rescheduled to appear on Saturday only! This is great news for those who were bummed about their Wild Force group photo opportunity. Don’t forget to get to the show early so you can grab your Jungle Fury Violet Ranger & Titanium Ranger Key Pack Exclusive – a sure-fire hit as it looks to be the only way to get the Titanium Ranger key!

TokuNation.com is proud to be attending this year’s Official Power Morphicon and will bring you any news as it breaks, as well as tons of pictures and so forth. Our coverage will be light – we’re going as fans! We will be joined by our good friends from the Ranger Command Power Hour Podcast, and a group event with our own Talkin Toku Podcast is being planned. We’ll see you at the show!

Revealed only a few weeks ago to the excitement of Juuko B-Fighter & Big Bad Beetleborgs fans alike, these two figures are one step closer to reality! S.H. Figuarts Blue Beet & S.H. Figuarts Black Beet of Juuko B-Fighter are officially on display at the Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom!

Blue Beet is confirmed for a January 2014 release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, priced at 4860 yen. Black Beet however we’re still unsure of. He was merely teased in the magazine scans which confirmed/revealed Blue Beet. But now that an actual physical sample is on disaplay, at the Akiba Showroom no less, we should be getting concrete details on this figures release very very soon.

Updated: More new images courtesy of TagHobby!

As for fans hoping for a North American release of these figure via Bluefin, definitely make your voices heard. Bluefin Tamashii is aware that there could be demand for these toys with collectors. Let them know it! Tell them you want the Blue Stinger Beetleborg, tell them you want Shadowborg/General Venjix! Get out there and make some noise on twitter @TamashiiNations and on Bluefin’s facebook page!

 

under Contests and Giveaways, TokuNation

After some set backs and some lengthy delays due to a number of circumstances, we’re finally read to reveal the winners of our Fruit Henshin contest! If you remember way back when, the contest involved taking any fruit of your choice and incorporating it in to a henshin/morphin pose – your favorite or your own! We received some great entries – so much that it took longer to figure out the winners because it was hard for everyone to agree on a favorite! But at the end of the day these are your winning entries! And now that we’ve been in contact with the winners, it’s time to share their photos!

GRAND PRIZE WINNER!

While we were at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, we were amazed at the amount of attention, and just how amazing, the Gundam displays were getting at the Bluefin Distribution booth. So while this is totally not tokusatsu, we know there’s a lot of fans of Gundam and Gunpla out there, so we took over 100 images of what they had on display, prettied up the images a bit, and now want to share them with you.

Click the title bar to see all 100 plus images and join in the discussion thread if you’re a Gundam fan. And if you guys love it enough, who knows, maybe it’s something we’ll feature more often on our front page. Special thanks to Bluefin for creating such an awesome display and for drawing the crowds to look at all the beautiful ‘robits’!
