“Time for, Time Force!”

Travelling back in time from the year 3000 the wanted criminal Ransik sought to control the Earth before his enemies at Time Force ever even existed. Having disposed with the Red Ranger of his time, Alex Drake, Ransik had ensured his enemies could no longer Morph despite following him to the past. Luckily for Time Force though, Alex’s ancestor Wes Collins was willing to step up and ensure that the future came to pass. With the DNA locks on their Chronomorphers broken, the Time Force Rangers could access their powers again! Joining these heroes from the future, Wes Collins is the Time Force Red Ranger!

The Time Force Red Ranger brings us the first of these time travelling heroes to the Power Rangers Lightning Collection. Building from all the standard articulation hallmarks of the line, Wes also has quite the accessories to accompany him. Both of his Chrono Sabers, an effect part for them, the Chrono Blaster, a pair of hands, and an unmasked head of Wes Collins based on the likeness of his actor, Jason Faunt! That’s quite a release to kick off a team of rangers with.

“Drago power, white ranger.”

Both of Trent Fernandez’s parents were lost in an archaeological dig accident, while working for Anton Mercer. The man who would be Mesogog. And the man who would also become Trent’s adoptive father. Not knowing his new guardians’ alter ego, Trent unwittingly stumbled into one of Mesogog’s invisportals and discovered the White Dino Gem. Fused with it’s power, and taken control of by it’s evil intent, Trent savagely attacked the Power Rangers many times. That is until his father, able to briefly suppress Mesogog, freed Trent of the gem’s influence. Finally in control of his own power and ready to defend the world against Mesogog’s army of monsters, Trent Mercer joined the Power Rangers as the Dino Thunder White Ranger!

The Lightning Collection Dino Thunder White Ranger was released earlier this year as a Walgreen’s exclusive in the US, actually well before it’s official announcement. And some glaring issues with it’s head aside, this is an excellent release. A dynamic figure with plenty of paint apps (though a few are missing) and some pretty great accessories like the Drago Sword and laser arrow effects, the White Ranger is a great way to kick of the Dino Thunder Rangers in this line.

“Let my true power return!”

Manipulating the world around him since he arrived on Earth, the alien Evolt has continued to evolve. Shedding the skin of Blood Stalk thanks to the Evol Driver at Phase 1, absorbing the rage of a dragon with Ryuga at Phase 2, and absorbing the rabbit genius with Sento at Phase 3. But with the powers of the Evol Trigger finally restored, an even greater evolution is revealed as Evolt enters Phase 4. The awesome power of Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole is reborn! Consuming everything in his path, this is the power that destroyed Mars, and will destroy the Earth if Kamen Rider Build and his allies fail. Are you ready?

The destroyer of worlds return in his Phase 4 form, as Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole! This is a completely stunning remold and repaint of the previously released Evol Phase 1. Though this release doesn’t include any optional armor like that one, only coming with some additional pairs of hands, it’s an incredibly well done recreation of Evol’s ultimate form. While it may have a few minor flaws, it carries with it all the personality and charms of the previous release, while being able to focus on it’s singular form.

Figuarts Kamen Rider Evol Black Hole in the thread linked below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And remember, commenting in this gallery thread will qualify you for one (1) additional entry in our annual TOKU TOY BOX giveaway! Offical rules HERE.

“Do it Ejji! Henshin!”

800 years ago 4 alchemists created the Greeed. Incapable of human emotion and consumed by craving, they desired to consume the world. Before they could, they were sealed away by the first OOO. In the present Eiji Hino was minding his own business as a part time security guard when Ankh managed to break the seal on the Greeed, releasing them back into the human world. Still craving to be whole, nothing could stand in their way without the power of the King. Though still incomplete himself, just a disembodied hand, Ankh stole some of their Core Medals and the OOO Driver looking to find a human pawn. Handing the Driver of the king and the Core Medals over to the hapless Eiji, Ankh allowed him to become Kamen Rider OOO!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ankh is now Bandai’s third attempt to get the incomplete form of this character right. Taking what came before it in the form of a first run bonus, then a bonafide accessory set, Seihou Ankh aims to be the all in one package and for the most part succeeds. Including iconic accessories like Ankh’s Ice Pop, cell phone, and two sets of Core Medals, this figure is also capable of becoming the forearm of Seihou Human Form Ankh. With a variety of options like this, and perfectly complimenting Shinkocchou Seihou OOO, Ankh should hit the sweet spot for most collectors.

Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Ankh in the thread linked below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And remember, commenting in this gallery thread will qualify you for one (1) additional entry in our annual TOKU TOY BOX giveaway! Offical rules HERE.
