Never give up!

Continuing 9 days of celebration for Kamen Rider Gaim and it’s finale, TokuNation proudly presents another long awaited gallery! Today we’re taking a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gridon (Donguri Arms)! Kamen Rider Gridon is of course Hideyasu Jonouchi, the one time leader of Team Invitto, and half of the dynamic duo we’ve taken to calling the Nut Bros!

S.H. Figuarts Gridon  is another impressive addition to the Gaim line of S.H. Figuarts. Sporting his standard Donguri Arms and brandishing his trademark Donkachi hammer, Gridon is ready to bravely (sort of) save the day! This figure may be a bit sparse on accessories but it’s full of personality and exquisite details. Gridon is another winner in my book, check out our full review & 60 image gallery after the jump to see if he’s a winner in yours.

Our Gaim Celebration continues tomorrow with a look back at Kamen Rider Duke!

TokuNation is continuing a Titanium Powered week of galleries with another winner, Super Legends Titanium Ranger!

Following up on our 5″ Super Megaforce Titanium gallery we wanted to take a look at the first “super” figure of this character. Super Legends was a brief albeit very popular line of roughly 6″ scale rangers (and 1 villain) inserted into case assortments of Power Rangers Jungle Fury & RPM figures. Unfortunately the line ended prematurely when the Power Rangers franchise was cancelled with RPM, but of the figures released Titanium Ranger is one of the best. It fact it’s one of the best figures ever released of the character. Super Legends Titanium Ranger is a must own if you’re a fan of the character at all.

Check out 40 images of this great figure as well as a full review by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And be sure to stay tuned this week as we bring you images of the long awaited Power Morphicon Ranger Key Set featuring Titanium Ranger & Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger!

It’s time for another round of Titanium Power at TokuNation! In honor of the Titanium Ranger’s inclusion in the finale of Power Rangers Super Megaforce we’ve got 3 galleries coming up for your viewing pleasure. And the first one is today’s featuring the Super Megaforce 5″ Titanium Ranger from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue!

Having only just made it to retail in the final Super Megaforce 5″ assortments, this figure has been spotted mostly at Walgreen’s. And I was lucky enough to stumble across one. As a massive fan of the Titanium Ranger I had to own this guy to display with all my other Titanium figures. If you have the chance, and can find this guy for retail price, then definitely pick him up to compliment your 5″ ranger collection. You can always use another 6th ranger. And we don’t exactly get figure of good old Ryan Mitchell very often.

We’ll also be bringing you another pair of galleries later in the week for the Power Morphicon Ranger Key set as well as the Super Legends Titanium Ranger! Stay tuned for these upcoming galleries and for now click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see over 30 images of this unique addition to the line as well as a full review!

When the going gets tough, the tough shout out “GO GO MEGAFORCE!”, and they never, NEVER let go of their weapons!

TokuNation.com is back with another gallery and review of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures, and this time it’s none other than the current leader of the team, the Megaforce Red Ranger with thanks to Fury Diamond from RangerCrew for hooking me up with this figure.

This is the first time the Megaforce Red Ranger has been released in 5″ size but how does the figure hold up? Does the detailing on the molding of the accessories continue to shine as seen in previous galleries? Click here to see the gallery and review!.

And don’t forget to check out our previous galleries and reviews from this line – the MMPR Green Ranger and Zeo Red Ranger combined gallery/review, as well as the Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger gallery and review! And stay tuned for two more galleries coming very soon – and a special gallery of the Titanium Ranger and celebrating his toy releases throughout the years!

When trouble rears its ugly head, you’d better make it a Lightspeed Rescue!

Continuing the galleries of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5″ Figures, we’re proud to bring you another legendary Red Ranger gallery. Having surged in popularity in recent years his figure is desired by many and found by few. That’s right – we’re talking about the Lightspeed Rescue Red Ranger, Carter Grayson.

Releasing in Wave 4 of the 5″ figure assortment, this figure is actually harder to find than you might expect – a lot of stores never got Wave 4 and if they did, you had one (at most maybe two) chances at grabbing the figure as he was packaged one per case.

To see all 32 images of this figure and to read the review, simply click here! And stay tuned to TokuNation.com for more upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce 5 Inch Figures – including an AWESOME looking gallery coming of the Titanium Ranger and the gallery everyone has been waiting for, the Zeo Gold Ranger!

A special thanks to Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com for helping obtain this figure!

under Kamen Rider

Just because Kamen Rider Decade is years and years old now doesn’t mean we don’t still have some cards up our sleeve! We are very happy to present to you a review and a gallery from an older figure from the S.H. Figuarts line, which is none other than Kamen Rider Diend. Courtesy of our photo contributor ryan, we have 26 images to share with you of this character from one of the popular (and debated) Kamen Rider series!

But just like every figure out there this one has some flaws. What are they, and does ryan think this older figure compares at all to the newer body styles found in the S.H. Figuarts being released today? Click here for the full gallery and review, then share your thoughts on Kamen Rider Diend!

Mirroring what happened with the Legacy Dragonzord before it’s release, Bandai UK has just revealed brand new in hands images of the upcoming Legacy Titanus!

This whopping behemoth will retail for $200 at Toys R Us this fall, and as you can clearly see is meant to be combined with the previously released Legacy Megazord & Dragonzord to complete the Legacy Ultrazord! If you can’t tell already Titanus is huge and apparently very heavy. Be on the lookout for this bad boy on TRU shelves in the coming months!

under Power Rangers

First revealed waaaaay back in June, we finally have images to confirm the upcoming Legacy Power Rangers figures from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie!

Seen for the first time these figures are modeled on the original Power Rangers suits from the classic 1995 MMPR film. Though the movie came out at the height of Power Rangers popularity there are actually very few toys that represent the things seen in the film. The armored up designs the rangers sported are the most criminally over looked though. But rectifying their absence from a toyline for almost 20 years Bandai of America has created this new assortment of Legacy Power Rangers! The assortment will contain 6 figures 5 of which are rangers (Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, & Pink). The 6th figure which has yet to be seen is the awesome villain of the original film, Ivan Ooze!

Defying all the odds it seems the sure bet of a White Ranger has been skipped for this assortment but will no doubt be released at a later time. In any case it appears that these figures are based on the looks the rangers had in the early part of the film before losing their powers, as indicated by the origianl power coins on their chests. They appear to include their awesome personal weapons that were created for the film in lieu of their TV show counterparts as well, though only Pink Ranger is shown with hers.

For now enjoy several press images of these exciting figures courtesy of the awesome people at Rangercrew!

We couldn’t think of a witty catch phrase for this gallery so we will go with the basic one that works – It’s Morphin Time!

What are you waiting for? Click here to check out 60 high resolution images of these two popular figures! What did we think of these figures? What’s their quality like? Are they worth the hassel of trying to find? We answer those questions and more for both figures!

Special thanks to our friend Fury Diamond from RangerCrew.com for helping us acquire these figures.

under Conventions, Power Rangers, San Diego Comic Con

Back at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, I contacted a good, old friend of mine from my days in the Transformers community from working for a decade at our sister site TFW2005.COM. His name is Marcelo Matere, and if you are, or were, a Transformers fan then you’ve seen his work – whether it be in comic books from both Dreamwave and IDW Publishing, to official box art work for Hasbro and their Transformers product. Knowing he has tremendous skill in drawing anything robotic in nature, I commissioned from him a Power Rangers piece – the Dragonzord fighting the original Megazord. Using nothing but pictures of toys for references, he hit the project out of the park! I wasn’t the only one who was impressed – even Bandai of America was impressed with his artwork.

In case you don’t remember the original story with the actual sketch – you can find it by clicking here.

We are incredibly pleased and proud to reveal the final version of this beautiful piece of artwork colored by comic book colorist Tom Chu, who has worked on various projects for Marvel Comics, DC Comics, IDW Publishing, and Archie Comics, as well as independent comics and official products for major toy companies. You may recognize his name from our very own Talkin Toku Podcast which he co-hosts, as well as being one of our administrators here at TokuNation.com under the name Sentai Tamashii, or even on Twitter as @SoulInkChu.

I think you will agree with us that this is one of the most impressive pieces of artwork for the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that we’ve ever seen. And we are beyond excited to share with you in future updates higher resolution versions of this image (minus our watermark) for use as wallpapers and other such things.

Please take a moment and follow these incredibly talented individuals and show their work some love. And, if you happen to want something awesome drawn for you or colored for you, please don’t be shy in asking them about their commission prices. I can personally guarantee that you won’t be disappointed in their work!!
