Looks like another exciting crossover is coming down the tracks from Toei!

Shison Jun (Toq 1) revealed a photo on his blog that the newest Super Sentai & current Kamen Rider will share the screen in a crossover episode airing March 30th!

This will be the second time the ToQGers come face-to-face with Kamen Rider Gaim (they share screentime in the recent “Hesei VS Showa” Movie War) and is the second in-series crossover between Super Sentai & Kamen Rider (the first being Samurai Sentai Shinkenger’s special appearance in Kamen Rider Decade).

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this fresh and imaginative team-up!

It’s time for another trip down memory lane with the original dionsaur sentai. From Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger it’s S.H. Figuarts Armed Tyranno Ranger! This recent Tamashii Web Exclusive release is better known to western fans as the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger, it was released in North American markets by Bluefin in Power Rangers 20th Anniversary packaging.

This figure represents Geki, Tyranno Ranger, after the death of Burai/Dragon Ranger. He inherited the Dragon Ranger powers from his brother and with them control over the mighty Dragon Caesar! This event was interpreted in the US MMPR adaptation as the Green Ranger powers being weakened and requiring a temporary host in the Red Ranger. The real world explanation for this is the above Zyuranger scenario, at the time no more footage was available of the Green Ranger. In the source footage he was literally dead. It wasn’t until the “Zyu2” footage was created by Toei that the Green Ranger could return on temporary occasions.

Overall this figure takes the best elements of both Tyranno & Dragon Rangers and crafts one excellent toy with them. If you have either of the other 2 figures you may feel this one is superfluous. Trust us, it isn’t. It’s another excellent addition to any Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers collection and will complement your other figures well.

Battle Mode!

At long last Bandai is set to release the highly anticipated S.H. Figuarts Auto Vaijin from Kamen Rider Faiz! 

As a tease of it’s upcoming release they’ve streamed a FULL transformation video of the figure. The best part however is that the video confirms two things. 1, the included Faiz in the Faiz/Vaijin 2-pack will indeed have accurate silver tipped fingers. 2, this Auto Vaijin is not only 100% transformable but it requires a mere single extra part to facilitate this transformation, and that’s only to hold the rear wheel assembly in place! Everything else is pure engineered awesomeness.

S.H.Figuarts Chalice was announced just yesturday as a mass retail release.

Bandai has announced a second special Kamen Rider Gaim set, featuring two DX Lock Seeds and corresponding faceplates for the Sengoku Driver.

This new set contains DX Matsubokkuri (“Pinecone”) and Kurimi (“Walnut”), the perfect set for fans of Armored Rider Kurokage and Armored Rider Knuckle! Even though Knuckle actually has NO faceplate since he uses the mass-production driver but that’s another story altogether.

In addition, Bandai has also revealed a special bonus for people who buy this set or the previously announced DX Durian/Acorn set: the “SID” Lock Seed! This golden decorative device was seen in the Lock Dealers’ possession relatively early in the series but its actual powers are still unknown.

The DX Pinecone and Walnut set will be released on June 30 and has a relatively affordable price tag of 4000 Yen
