With thanks to HeroShock.com for the images and to the TokusatsuNetwork.com for the translations, we’re happy to share the images and information with you today!

The story of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is as follows – The Yokai were sealed away roughly three generations ago by Igasaki Yoshitaki, the Last Ninja. But around the time that Igasaki Yoshitaki passes away, the Yokai revive and it is up to his descendants, five cousins, to come together as a team and defeat the Yokai. Our heroes are not yet fully developed as ninjas and thus train together in the dojo run by Igasaki Tsumuji, the father of AkaNinger and ShrioNinger. The cast, as well as their previous works, is as follows.

Thanks to some sneaky photographers we’ve been given the gift of our first behind the scenes look at Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!

A few new magazine scans for the upcoming 39th Super Sentai Series have been found online!

This time we get a quick look at the Nin Shurikens– the special weapons that can unlock the Ninninger’s true power!

In addition the scans reveal each Ninningers’ basic catchphrase:

*AkaNinger:  Storming applause! Firey Ninja.

*AoNinger: Thundering cloud! Cool Ninja.

*KiNinger: Sparkling lull! Agile Ninja.

*ShiroNinger: Petal flurry! Energetic Ninja. In addition the scans confirm ShiroNinger is AkaNinger’s younger sister.

*MomoNinger: Shimmering haze! Intelligent Ninja.

Last but not least these new scans have given us our first look at the suit design for ShuriKenJin!

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger is set to premiere February 15, 2015! Stay tuned to TokuNation until then as we keep you up to date on all Ninja news! And feel free to join in our ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts about all the latest reveals!

We all eagerly awaited the initial toy images and after our long wait for those full reveals, the first round of magazine scans for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger are out!

Though these images are taken rather close-up from a strange angle or two they give us a great look at some items and design elements of the Ninninger costumes:

-Shuriken visor desigins
-Ninnin Buckles with Shurikens
-Gamagama Gun
-Shinobi Ichibangatana

What do you think of this better look at the Ninninger suit designs? Sound off in the thread linked below!

At last some new images for the 39th Super Sentai Series have come online!We now have full images of several key elements in the Shuriken Sentai Ninninger merchandise catalog, including:

*The Ninningers’ main weapon and changer, the Shinobi Ichibangatana -a sword that all five Ninningers take into combat.

*As reported previously, this years’ primary collector gimmick involves Shinobi Shurikens that can unlock new powers, weapons and can create new weapons and features when used with individual mecha as well as DX Shurikenjin. Each Ninninger carries Shurikens in the Ninnin Buckle.

*The Ninningers also have a blaster weapon, the Gama Gama Ju– a gun shaped like a frog.

*Another piece of the Ninningers’ arsenal is the Karakuri Hengen– a massive Shuriken capable of 3 distinctive forms- Blade, Claw and Bow.

*The last new Shuriken revealed in this catalog is the Goton Shinobi Shuriken which allows the Ninningers to attack with any one of five elements: Fire, Water, Wood, Metal or Earth.

Feel free to join in our ongoing Ninninger Catalog Discussion Thread & share your thoughts on all that this new Super Sentai Series has to offer!

A leaked image has given us a close (albeit blurry) look at the mecha for 39th Super Sentai, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!

This shot of DX Shurikenjin shows all five individual mecha- Shinobimaru, Dragonmaru, Danpumaru, Wanmaru and Byunmaru. Interestingly, the combined form appears to have multiple configurations- according to existing rumors, any one of the five Maru can become the centerpiece for the combination and Shurikenjin will have different abilities or forms based on the central component.

What this image does confirm are the Dog, Dump, & Train components initially reported exclusively here at TokuNation!

Finally, out of the shadows we have our first official look at the newest Super Sentai: Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!!  Premiering on February 15th, 2015!

This full scan of the catalogue cover for the 39th Super Sentai seems to confirm the toy release information we discovered yesterday as well. Meaning we’re in for a pretty unique year theme wise. Further this image also makes mention of 1994 & 2002 in references to Kakuranger & Hurricanger respectively. Much like Kyoryuger’s dino team up could we expect something similar for our ninja theme heroes?

Stay tuned to TokuNation.com as we update this developing story!

Nininininininininininininini Ninninger!

The crew of Talkin Toku is back yet again with an action packed episode promising to dull your senses and cause you regret! Join Chris “Kickback”, Jordan “Den-O”, and Tom “Sentai Tamashii” for this trip down toku discussion lane!

Did you get your S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms figure yet? We did – and we’re not happy. Listen to us rant about what all three agree is the worst quality controlled product to come out of Tamashii Nations in quite awhile. We also discuss Power Rangers Dino Charge toys – namely the Dino Charge Megazord – and whether or not we think it’s a good toy and what, if anything, it has over it’s predecessor the Legendary Megazord from Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

EXCLUSIVE! Tom fails at being a good administrator at a leading tokusatsu website community. The plus side? You get to hear his reaction to the first image of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger during the podcast. What does he think? This is actually a pretty neat thing because how often does a fan of Super Sentai have their first reaction to the new series recorded? Check it out, it’s a pretty fun listen. We also touch on speculation of the upcoming series including what our thoughts are on possible henshin devices and so forth. And marbles. That’s right – marbles. Tom talks marbles. I can’t make this up if I tried. Just listen.

Power Rangers Dino Charge had the theme song and the smart phone app come out. Does it get the seal of approval from the guys? What about the theme song – what works, what doesn’t work, and does it hold up? Tom gives his $0.02 as he describes his youngest son’s reaction to the theme song.

We also take an in-depth look at the extended episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce as we end our discussion on the series that seems to have divided part of the fandom in terms of “IT SUCKS” versus “IT KIND OF SUCKS”. What parts of the extended episode were good? Which were unnecessary? And was it really as special as we all thought it was? Jordan gives his rundown on why he feels it was a lackluster extended battle, while Chris and him get in to it about one of the more fandom-popular moments of the extended Legendary Battle.

Finally – we talk some Toku Toy Box giveaway as the episode ends. Have you registered on TokuNation.com yet and posted in the eligible threads so you can win? You’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future, but don’t miss your chance at entering in each qualifying thread!

Enjoy! Thanks for listening and Happy Holidays!
