As reported by orendsrange.com, recent scans have revealed that Narutaki, nemesis of Kamen Rider Decade will be playing a role in the much anticipated Ressha Sentai Toqger/Gaim crossover special.

His exact involvement isn’t known, but from the images we do know that he’ll have is own monkey puppet and will be appearing along side a monster called Mouraroid.

As this special is a prequel to Heisei VS Showa,  this most likely means that the whatever causes the events of Heisei VS Showa, it’s probably Decade’s fault.

Shift into Turbo!

It’s time for another vintaqe ranger gallery! This time we’re taking a trip down memory lane with Power Rangers Turbo and the Turbo Shifter Phantom Ranger figure! Based on VRV Master from Gekisou Sentai Carranger, Phantom Ranger has a much more significant role than his original counterpart. An ally to both the Turbo and In Space rangers he quested across the galaxy to find Zordon, fought the Alliance of evil, and all the while provided the rangers with new zords! VRV Master was much more of a support type character and as such when the time came for Gokaiger’s 35th sentai anniversary season, he was not counted among the sentai teams nor even 6th rangers or extra heroes, and thus a ranger key was never made for him.

But we can change that! Saban’s Morphin Madness is still ongoing and while Phantom Ranger has made it to round 2, it’s up to you the fans to make sure he makes it all the way to the end! The 5 winning rangers of the Morphin Madness bracket will in fact be turned into limited edition Ranger Keys! This bracket would appear to be the ONLY chance for the Titanium Ranger & Phantom Ranger to ever make it into key form! So check out our full gallery of Turbo Shifter Phantom Ranger by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post, then head over to Morphin Madness and cast your vote for Phantom Ranger!

I should also mention that once again, this vintage piece of Power Rangers history was provided by the awesome people at Ranger Stop! If you’re looking for vintage and collectible Power Rangers merchandise they are your #1 stop! Head over to their site and check out their selection, and don’t forget the upcoming  2nd Annual Ranger Stop Superhero Toy & Comic Con in Orlando FL, November 7th-9th!

The latest batch of toy magazine scans have began cropping up online and among them is the news that Kamen Rider Hibiki will FINALLY be joining the ranks of the S.H. Figuarts toy line. Specifically he will be a mass release figure in August, retailing for 5400 yen. This high price suggests that he will be using the same new type body as the soon-to-be-release Kamen Rider Kabuto renewal.

Also revealed is Zangetsu Shin from Kamen Rider Gaim, who will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in August (priced 4536 yen).  But before all that Kamen Rider Leangle, the last of the base four Blade Riders to be released, will be coming as a mass release figure in July for the price of 4104 yen.

Our site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com fired off an update earlier today letting everyone know they have the previously released yet incredibly hard to find Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Megazord available for pre-order. The price is higher than it was at retail – but they do state that these were acquired from an aftermarket seller and not through actual distribution channels. That means that they paid a higher price to get these items, and thus, have to charge a higher price when selling them.

With the Legacy Dragonzord arriving in the next month or so, the prices for your Legacy Megazords are going to continue to go up – it’s hard to find one on eBay for anything less than $150 at the moment. So why not check out BigBadToyStore.com and order yourself both the Legacy Megazord and Legacy Dragonzord and just save yourself the hassel?
