The thunderous brave, Kyoryu Gold, has arrived!

S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold was recently released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, and currently he’s the final Kyoryuger to be released in this line. We haven’t heard anything yet about the rest of the team but who knows. Oddly enough Kyoryu Gold is also not only the 6th Kyoryuger, but coincidentally he’s the sixth 6th ranger Figuart to be released, joining the ranks of Dragon Ranger, Gosei Knight, Shinken Gold, Kiba Ranger, & Gokai Silver.

Kyoryu Gold of course includes his trademark Zandar Thunder & Gaburi Changer as well as the final piece you’ll need to complete your S.H. Figuarts Kentro Spiker! Though the previous Kyoryuger releases are by no means bad, Kyoryu Gold is easily the best of the 6 released thus far. He’s an absolutely solid figure with crisp paint apps and so far top notch quality control. To see our full 40 image gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold, simply click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And how about you check out our previous Kyoryuger S.H. Figuarts galleris as well!

Busters, Ready, Go!

It’s time once again to use your imaginations and view our latest gallery from Ressha Sentai ToQger! Today we’re having a look at the first EX/Legend Sentai Ressah released in the toyline, DX Go-Busters Ressha!

Go-Busters Ressha of course borrows it’s likeness from the Go-Busters Ace of Tokuemei Sentai Go-Busters. It’s Ressha form is styled after the Ace’s cheetah mode whereas it’s head when combined with ToQ Oh is clearly an approximation of the Go-Buster Ace’s robot mode. When combined with ToQ Oh, ToQ Oh Go-Buster Ace is formed. Of course since this figure features all the same connectors as the rest of the line you can combine it in as many different ways as you choose. This combination may or may not be in a film or TV episode. Currently it’s actual physical appearance outside of toy form is unconfirmed.

The original big bad kaiju has just returned to theaters after a 10 year hiatus. Legendary’s Godzilla is on screens world wide and he’s absolutely destroying them. If you haven’t seen the film yet, we HIGHLY recommend that you do. And to celebrate the film’s release TokuNation.com is proud to present this companion piece to it. A full summary & review of the Godzilla Awakening Graphic Novel prequel!

Godzilla Awakening follows the exploits of the elder Dr. Serizawa (Ichiro’s father) from 1945-1954 as a member of the elite Monarch Unit. A group tasked with finding and exterminating the MUTO creatures. Though what the good doctor would theorize, and this unit would later discover, would be something far greater. A living legend, a monstrous myth, the king of all monsters, Godzilla! This book set out to expand the historical universe of the 2014 Godzilla film and it has succeeded wonderfully. If you want more insight into just what drives Ken Watanabe’s character, Dr. Ichiro Serazawa in the film, then this story about his father, is a must read.

By clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” you’ll be taken directly to a lengthy and spoiler heavy review and summary of Godzilla Awakening. Again, this book contains MASSIVE spoilers for the film as does our review. Read on at your own risk.

All aboard!

Tokunation has pulled back into the station with Ressha Sentai ToQger. And we’re back with a new gallery of DX Diesel Ressha!

Diesel Ressha, or as Right/ToQ 1 would call him “Grandpa”, is pretty unique in this line. Instead of being the typical “2-car” Ressha like the previous ones Diesel comes in 5 pieces. So this guy is crazy big when compared to the other Resshas. His addition to the line allows you to take the already released Tank & Car Carrier Resshas and create Diesel Oh! This blocky awesome robo is a welcome shelf mate to go with your  ToQ Oh. And if you’d prefer to display them combined, you can! As Cho ToQ Oh!

Deep from the depths of 2010 we bring you a special sponsored gallery courtesy of EntertainmentEarth.com. For a great selection of figures and collectibles from all different genres, including a selection of case pricing, check out EntertainmentEarth.com for your action figure and collectible needs!

Originally released four years ago in 2010, Kamen Rider G3-X (from the era of Kamen Rider Agito) manages something that a lot of the older S.H. Figuarts do not – it stands the test of time! Featuring the old waist and diecast metal feet, these older features actually work quite well for this figure which many refer to as the RoboCop Terminator. The Cerebrus Gun comes included with Kamen Rider G3-X, as well as the Unicorn, Scorpion, and Guard Acceler accessories.

To all our friends up north – head to Toys’R’Us! The Legacy Dragonzord was spotted and purchased at Toys’R’Us store in Vancouver by ayane from the RangerBoard forums.

ayane also managed to take a ton of pictures of the Legacy Dragonzord. We’ve mirrored all 20 images here for your viewing pleasure. The original images were shared on RangerBoard. NOTE! The head-fin on the Legacy Dragonzord appears bent. This is apparently due to packaging – the plastic wrapped around the fin is too tight. There are many fixes for this and if it turns out to be a mass issue, we’ll share some tips and tricks on how to get it fixed.

Happy hunting!

Today proves to be a big news day for the Power Rangers franchise as Saban Brands announces partnership with Lionsgate for a Power Rangers live-action feature film.

No specific details of the project  are mentioned in the press release, other than that “the new film franchise will re-envision the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world.”

The release continues to say:

“Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” said Saban. “They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from The Hunger Games to Twilight and Divergent. In partnership with the Lionsgate team, we’re confident that we will capture the world of the Power Rangers and translate it into a unique and memorable motion picture phenomenon with a legacy all its own.”

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Haim Saban and his team to maximize the potential of this immensely successful and universally recognized franchise,” said Feltheimer. “The Power Rangers stories and characters have been embraced by generations of audiences for more than 20 years, and today they are more powerful than ever. We have the ideal partner and the perfect brand with which to create a motion picture event that will resonate with moviegoers around the world for years to come.”
