Just wanted to give everyone an update – TokuNation.com will be in full force at this year’s New York Comic Con, the equivalent of the yearly San Diego Comic Con, but on the east coast! This year’s show runs from Thursday, October 11th through Sunday, October 14th.

In attendance this year will be none other than Jason David Frank, who you may recognize now as a UFC fighter, but in the world of tokusatsu, played Tommy Oliver the Green Ranger and White Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; Zeo Ranger V in Power Rangers Zeo; Red Turbo Ranger in Power Rangers Turbo; and the Black Dino Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder as Dr. Tommy Oliver.

Also be sure to keep your browsers tuned in here at TokuNation.com as we bring you the first images of the upcoming SH Figuarts Zyuranger, or basically the first SH Figuarts of a Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. We don’t know for sure which color it will be, but rumor is circulating heavily that it’ll be the Red Ranger. Could a Green Ranger be far behind?

Should be a fun and exciting week for all things tokusatsu!

Online Japanese retailer Rakuten has started taking preorders for a Super Best DX K-Touch from Kamen Rider Decade, the item the rider uses to transform into his complete form.

While there is absolutely no confirmation of this, we’ll keep you up to date should any more news come to light.

The Super Best K-Touch will be released in February 2013, priced at 3990 yen.

Did the Ultraman Saga trailer have you itching to see more? Do you live in Hawaii or plan to be there this week? If so, you can catch the 1st screening of Ultraman Saga in the US at the Hawaii International Film Festival! The Festival runs from October 11-21. The screener is on Saturday October 13 at 11:30AM. Here’s a brief summary of the movie:

Taiga soon finds himself in the apocalyptic version of Tokyo, as Ultraman Zero battles a huge fleet of alien spaceships. As Taiga notices a crashing ship heading straight towards a young boy, he pilots his ship directly into its path in an act of self-sacrifice. Witnessing his brave actions, Ultraman Zero rescues Taiga and joins with him.

Taiga soon encounters Ultraman Cosmos and his human host Musashi, along with Team U and the children. It is now up to Taiga and Musashi to protect the survivors. However, Taiga is not so happy to be joined with Ultraman Zero, and has no intention of fighting…

For those of you who have seen Ultraman Saga, do you think it should be localized? Discuss!

According to Dread Central, Godzilla VS Biollante will finally make its way to the US in both Blu-ray and DVD formats! Both are scheduled for release on December 4th, $6.99 for the DVD, and $14.99 for the Blu-ray. More info:

“According to Toho Kingdom, the print is expected to be taken from Toho’s pristine Japanese Blu-ray release. That means it will be seen in its original, widescreen aspect ratio with two Japanese audio tracks (2.0 stereo and 5.1 surround) with freshly commissioned English subtitles. For those that hate to read and love bad English dubbing, the Miramax English dub with Australian-sounding accents will be included.

Details of disc extras have not been officially announced just yet but it’s expected there will be a 48-minute “making of” feature and another 10-minute featurette imported from the Japanese release. In addition, there will be a commentary track by “Japanese Giants” editor Ed Godziszewski, who can be heard on numerous other American releases of Toho monster movies detailing the history and inside stories behind the various films.”

Looking forward to the release of this movie, finally in the US in December? Discuss!
