Dinosaur Might, Ready to Fight!

TokuNation’s look at the worlds latest prehistoric heroes continues with a new gallery! Today we’re looking at the Power Rangers Dino Charge 5″ Red Ranger!

The inaugural release from Dino Charge’s take on the 5″ line, Dino Charge Red Ranger takes the basics established by the Super Megaforce 5″ figures and adds a layer of detailing and intricacy that was much needed. While the 5″ line is definitely more for collector’s on a budget it’s certainly not without merit and Dino Charge Red proves that. He has a fantastic range of motion, a hinged shoulder pad, intricate scaled detailing, and a pretty great likeness to his screen counterpart. Dino Charge Red also includes his Dino Saber & Dino Charge Morpher for weapons!

After the jump check out a complete 40 image gallery of this figure as well as a full review! Also don’t forget to leave a comment in this discussion thread as well. You’ll be automaticlaly entered in for a chance to win one of our Toku Toy Box Giveaway prize packs! In this case the Charged Up Rangers Mega Prize Pack! Full details of prize pack breakdowns & rules for entry are posted here.

It’s the return of the king here at TokuNation! Today we’re proud to present a long awaited new gallery, Ultra-Act Ultraman King!

Ultraman King, the ancient elder of the Ultra race, has guarded his people for generations operating in secret. Sometimes he intervenes or trains young heroes, but he’s always watchful. And this legendary hero has at long last joined his brothers in the Ultra-Act line! A recent Tamashii Web Exclusive, Ultraman King includes his own personal cape/mantle, his signature King Hammer, the Great Protector armor, and several sets of additional hands. A unique Ultra-Act release, King has some of the more snazzy duds for an Ultra, and sports the even more rare facial hair. His hammer also puts him in the small group of toku heroes that call it their weapon of choice as well. An interesting and offbeat release to say the least, for many Ultraman King has been a dream come true for the line.

Read on with our full review and check out a complete 40 image gallery of this unique addition to the Ultra-Act line after the jump. And don’t forget to share your thoughts on Ultra-Act Ultraman King, good or bad, in this thread as well. A post in this gallery thread will qualify you for entry in our Toku Toy Box giveaway! Specifically you could win our Monolithic Monsters Prize Pack! Full prize pack details and official rules for Toku Toy Box are posted here. We only about a week left to go with this giveaway but we still have more in store for you. Good luck to all!

The folks at Toei and TV-Asashi are giving you a special Christmas gift in the revelation of the cast of the upcoming Shuriken Sentai Ninninger as well as the production staff behind the series. 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.

  • AkaNinger/Igasaki Takaharu – played by Shunsuke Nishikawa, notable for having practiced judo over the last five years
  • AoNinger/Kato Cloud Yakumo – played by Gaku Matsumoto, his first main-cast role
  • KiNinger/Matsuo Nagi – played by Kaito Nakamura
  • ShiroNinger/Igasaki Fuka – played by Yuka Yano.  Her first major acting role, plays the sister of AkaNinger
  • MomoNinger/Momochi Kasumi – played by Kasumi Yamaya.  Previously seen in Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze Movie Ultimatum as well as Space Sheriff Shaider: Next Generation
  • Igasaki Tsumuji – played by Tashihiro Yashiba.  Is the father of AkaNinger and ShiroNinger, and the son of the Last Ninja
  • The Last Ninja/Igasaki Yoshitaka – played by Takashi Sasano, he is the grandfather of AkaNinger and ShiroNinger, the father to Igasaki Tsumuji, and is the Last Ninja

We also know the production staff behind Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!  Some of it will make you happy, some if it may make you cringe.  Either way, check it out below!

Figuarts Gokai Christmas! A limited Toei-Hero.Net exclusive of a one-off form used by Gokai Silver/Gai Ikari in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger episode 44.

We posted up a gallery of this bad boy all the way back in January 2013, but now we can finally give this fantastic figure the time & love it deserves with this full fledged gallery!

Go on!

It’s time that TokuNation and I personally finally wrap up a segment we started over a year ago. Back in July 2013 we had an extensive look at the entire DX mecha line of Engine Sentai Go-Onger, save one very rare release. But today I finally have it, and we can finally share it with you. The DX Police Deco Gunbir-Oh Gallery!

This rare Toy Dreams Project exclusive release takes the original DX Gunbir-Oh and slaps some gorgeous police themed paint apps on the set. Birca, Gunpherd, & Carrygator have never looked better than they do here. From their Engine Souls to their fully combined form, this set just works. Never mind the alligator car or fish arm, this thing looks glorious in Police themed colors. And don’t forget it can still form it’s own versions of the Engine Oh G6, G9, & G12 as well! It runs a bit pricey these days but this is definitely a set for the ultimate Go-Onger collector.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but check out a full 40 image gallery of this excellent set, as well as our review, after the jump. And don’t forget to leave a comment in this thread as well. A post here will automatically enter you into our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! Specifically you’ll have a chance to win our All Aboard Sentai Prize Pack! Full details of our giveaway as well as prize pack breakdowns can be found here. Best of luck to all who enter!

Fight, power! Fight, power! Fi-fi-fi-fi-fight!

Lemon Energy! TokuNation is back with another stellar gallery from Kamen Rider Gaim! Today our very own Kickback is supplying the sweetness with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Baron Lemon Energy Arms!

Lemon Energy Baron was recently released as a Tamashii Nations 2014 at show exclusive, and a lottery system via the Tamashii Web Shop has also been opened for people to have a chance to purchase it. Regardless of how you come into possession of this figure, you need to. Lemon Energy Baron takes the already stellar Baron Banana Arms and catapults it to the next level. If the gorgeous next level detailing on Baron doesn’t sell you hard enough, then the 2 included version of the Sonic Arrow, 7 optional hands, and a Lemon Energy Lock Seed should more than do the job!

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of the post to see Kickback’s entire gallery! And be sure to leave a comment in the gallery thread linked to this post as it will qualify you for our Toku Toy Box Giveaway!

It’s only appropriate that after a day of new reveals and in hand images for upcoming Kikaider releases, that TokuNation brings you a gallery of the latest release in the line, S.H. Figuarts Side Machine! 

Side Machine is the personal ride of the original Kikaider himself. An outstanding bike with a side car, Side Machine was way ahead of it’s time for rocking vehicle designs in tokusatsu during the 70’s. Seeing as it’s based on the real world Kawasaki GT 500 Mach III bike, Side Machine happens to include a set of officially licensed Kawasaki decals to accessorize it! This is just an added bonus for a vehicle that sets itself apart by leaps and bounds from most S.H. Figuarts vehicles. Seriously this is one of the nicest bikes in the entire line, gorgeous details, crisp paint, and did I mention those decals?! But don’t just take my word for it, check out 30 images of this awesome ride after the jump.

Also be sure to leave a comment in this thread as well. Posting in the S.H. Figuarts Side Machine Gallery thread will automatically enter you for a chance to win one of our Toku Toy Box Giveaway Prize Packs! Specifically you’ll be entered in for our Monolithic Monsters Prize Pack with this one. For full details on entry & Prize Pack breakdowns for Toku Toy Box follow this link. And Best of luck to all! We’ll have another gallery up for entries later this week!
