HAGANE WORKS Thunder Gridman Revealed

Posted on February 9, 2020 at 8:32 am by ZeoRangerV under General Tokusatsu News

Winter Wonderfest 2020 has just happened in Japan, and while the event usually strays towards the anime figure side of things there are usually a few tokusatsu-related surprises as well. Among Good Smile Company’s reveals this year is the announcement of HAGANE WORKS Thunder Gridman, based on the combined from of Gridman and the three Assist Machines from the original 1993 series.

The HAGANE WORKS line is still relatively new, and with only this combined form prototype image at the moment it’s uncomfirmed whether this figure will be able to split into its individual components or whether the Assist Machines will also be able to combine into God Zenon. However based on descriptions for previous entries in the line, it’s safe to assume that the figure will at least feature some die cast content.

Stay tuned to Tokunation for more news on the figure as it comes!

Goodsmile Max Combine DX Full Power Gridman Gallery

Posted on June 8, 2019 at 10:20 pm by Den-O under General Tokusatsu News, TokuNation, TokuNation Site Updates, TokuNation Spotlights, Ultraman

“Hyperlink combine!”

SSSS.Gridman took two communities by storm in the last year. The anime & tokusatsu fandoms were united by the amazing animation studio Trigger’s love letter to the original Denkou Choujin Gridman and it’s near countless references to other tokusatsu of year’s past. The series was short but it’s impact was immense, leading to a near endless stream of related multimedia and products since. Ever since the series ended, fans have been patiently waiting for the promised toys to come of it.

DX Full Power Gridman is the first major attempt to recreate the 5 components of Gridman’s true form. Gridman, Gridman Calibur, Battle Tracto Max, Buster Borr, & Sky Vitter. Each component on it’s own may not do much, but combining Gridman with 1 of each, or assembling them all together can create Full Power Gridman! Or if you so choose to leave Gridman out of the equation entirely, then you can create God Zenon! While there’s a wealth of options with this set in hand, does it actually live up to the hype? We have a very very lengthy written review and photo gallery breaking down how expectations, have met reality.

See the full 130 image gallery and 5300+ word review of the Max Combine DX Full Power Gridman by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Share with us what your thoughts are on this set by joining the discussion thread.

Figure Displays from Evolution Toy Exhibition

Posted on March 18, 2019 at 11:30 am by Den-O under Conventions, General Tokusatsu News, Other Conventions

Over the weekend, Evolution Toy held a product exhibition showcasing many upcoming previously announced figure’s as well as new figure’s debuted at the event. Thankfully for us, AmiAmi’s Hobby New attended the event and has provided images and some information about several upcoming releases. Notably, several new HAF (Hero Action Figure) prototypes were on display.

First up is the titular hero of 1973’2 Inazuman series. Inazuman is one of the classic Ishinomori heroes who’ve yet to have a modern figure produced by Bandai. In their stead, it seems that Evolution has obtained a license to add him to the their HAF line. Inazuman is scheduled for release this year for 8800 yen. Also, the heroic duo from Space Ironmen Kyodyne, the brothers Grounzel & Skyzel, were announced for release this year in August and September respectively. Each retails for 8800 yen. The previously announced HAF Gridman was also on display, but surprisingly Evolution also announced an HAF Gridman Sigma! This will mark the first time that a modern poseable figure of Sigma (outside of the Super Minipla release) will be released. Specific release info was not announced for Sigma.

Rounding things out, the combined hero Triple Fighter was also seen on display again. Set for July release, Triple Fighter retails for, you guessed it, 8800 yen. Given their license to produce Redman figure’s as well, Evolution revealed a Kanegon in colors exclusive to the Redman comic from  Matt Frank. No price or specific release month have been announced as of now. This figure will be the inaugural release in a new linen from Evolution, KAF (Kaiju Action Figure.) A reissue of HAF Redman was also confirmed for 2019.

So that’s quite a lot on the way from Evolution. Given their past though, we should expect some degree of delay for those figures without specific release info at this point. As more information becomes available for any of these figure’s we’ll be sure to update you.

WonFest 2019: Figma Rikka Takarada & Soft Vinyl Ghoulgilas

Posted on February 9, 2019 at 8:27 pm by Den-O under General Tokusatsu News, Ultraman

As Wonderfest 2019 gets underway we’re due for a few reveals in tokusatsu world this weekend. To kick things off we have 2 teased releases from SSSS.Gridman!

First up is Figma Rikka Takarada! The high school heroine of SSSS.Gridman and member of the Gridman Alliance is the first of the human characters to get an official product image so far. When she was teased back in November alongside series antagonist Akane Shinjo, we didn’t have a clear indication of when we’d see official prototype images. GSC has finally provided this first look via WonFest and we should be able to expect some release information for Rikka in the near future as well.

Next up is a Soft Vinyl Ghoulgilas! This Kaiju was originally teased for release back in late December with just a silhouette. Now we have our first test shot image of the figure announcing plans to roll it out for release. In case you’ve forgotten, this cyborg like dragon monster faced off against Gridman in the first episode of the series. Presumably this vinyl will be in scale with the Gridman & Grid Knight Figma’s as well. Release details should come at a later date.

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date as more WonFest 2019 news rolls in!

Super Minipla King Gridman & Gridman Sigma Pre Order Info

Posted on September 20, 2018 at 12:30 am by Kiryu under General Tokusatsu News, Ultraman

ACCESS FLASH!

As you may recall, Bandai teased the release of a pair of Minipla: Dyna Dragon and Gridman Sigma way back at Summer Wonder Festival in July. It’s been some time since that event and seems like Super Minipla King Gridman & Gridman Sigma are both finally ready for production. Pre-order-links have gone up, and with that, we have a plethora of new images of what the colored product will look like.

Two options will be available: to pre-ordering Dyna Dragon on his own will run you 4,860 yen while the bundle with Gridman Sigma will cost 6,480 yen. Either way, both will be shipped out sometime in February 2019.

For those new to the fandom: Gridman Sigma is the proposed sequel series to Gridman and proposed ally of Gridman. Gridman Sigma would’ve been the alter ego of Takeshi Todo, a former villain in the previous series. The hero wouldn’t make his debut proper until the 2015 animated short: Gridman: Boys Invent Great Hero.

First Look at Super Minipla Dyna Dragon and Gridman Sigma Revealed?

Posted on July 28, 2018 at 10:06 pm by Kiryu under Conventions, General Tokusatsu News, Ultraman

Super Minipla is showing no signs of slowing down! As you might recall, Super Minipla Gridman and God Zenon were both confirmed to be on the way just a few days ago. To top it all off, Bandai’s given us our first look at Super Minipla Dyna Dragon at Sumer Wonder Festival. 

The model is still in its early stages of development so it’s difficult to really say when this kit will come out or for how much. We can only assume that this bad boy will be able to combine with Gridman proper to create King Gridman.

As always, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll bring you more updates on this exciting new figure as it becomes available,

UPDATE:

Upon further investigating, the Gridman shown next to Dyna Dragon appears to be Gridman Sigma, the lead protagonist from a Gridman show that never aired or made it into production until the 2015 short: Gridman Dawn of a new hero.
