under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

In celebration of the Power Rangers and their anniversary season, our very own conundrum is taking you back in time so you can Shift in to Turbo with a look at an older figure – the 8 inch Quick Draw Phantom Ranger figure!  For those of you who remember Power Rangers Turbo, the Phantom Ranger was an ally to the Power Rangers.  He would appear in both Power Rangers Turbo and Power Rangers In Space, but his true identity was never revealed (but the speculation runs rampant to this day).  If you’re more a fan of the Sentai side of things, then you recognize the figure as the VRV Master from Gekisou Sentai Carranger, an ally but not an official 6th Ranger to the team.  Unfortunately, due to his lack of an appearance in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, the probability that he appears in Power Rangers Super Megaforce is slim, as his costume was never seen on set.

So we’ll celebrate him right here!  Take a trip down memory lane and click the discussion link at the bottom, or simply click here to see the full gallery!

under Godzilla

Last week reports started to trickle in of Godzilla 2014 toy product making it to store shelves across the country. IDW’s Chris Mowry teased us with what he found at retail too. Well it seems for everyone else the wait is finally over! ToyArk member Trivial Psychic stumbled across the gargantuan Jakks 24″ Godzilla figure at his local Toys ‘R’ Us and was kind enough to share images of the beast!

Standing tall at a whopping 24″ this behemoth is also 40″ long from snout to tail! Trivial Pshychic has some articulation details listed after the jump. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to see what the big guy can really do. Thanks to sister site ToyArk for the tip.

Even though Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger has ended, the release of the S.H. Figuarts of the series are just beginning to ramp up with Kyoryu Blue and Green seeing release this last week.  Releasing as Bandai Premium Web Exclusives, the set will cost most collectors around $100 after shipping.  Our very own KamenRiderOOO received his figures and took a nice, high-resolution gallery to whet your desire for the Kyoryugers … also to be known as the Power Rangers Dino Charge Rangers in 2015!

These figures come with a lot of accessories similar to that of the already-released S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Red, which saw a general release at retail.  To check out the full 50+ gallery, either click on the discussion link at the bottom of this post, or simply click right here!  As a personal owner of these figures, if you’re a fan of Kyoryuger then I can’t recommend these figures enough!  If you’re a passing fan or collector, these are essentially the same figures as Kyoryu Red.  Check out the gallery for all the details.  Kyoryu Change!

Cross one more off the list for Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger! 

S.H. Figuarts Mammoth Ranger was just released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. But don’t let that stop you from getting him! The Bluefin release of this figure will be out next month as the Mighty Morphin Black Ranger.

This  of course awesome figure goes perfectly with the 4 previous Zyuranger releases. Mammoth Ranger is another excellent addition to the line though the accessories included are  a bit odd. He’s got the standard extra hands, Ranger Stick, & Thunder  Slinger. The other Zyuranger weapons included are remolded from their past (and upcoming) releases. They’re meant to combine into the Howling Cannon (Power Blaster). But that also means the  Mammoth Breaker included isn’t quite accurate, read on to find out why.

Strike in the Shadows!

We’re back with a final Arms Change Gallery (for now). The most recent release in the line is none other than AC09 Kamen/Armored Rider Kurokage! Although this toy is meant to represent the original Kurokage, it could quite easily be troop built as the Kurokage Trooper. The inclusion of their signature lock vehicle, the Tulip Hopper helps get this point across.

Another welcome addition to the line, Kurokage officially rounds out the the first 6 Armored Riders before the introduction of Bravo. His Bandai Premium webshop release won’t be for a few months either. So the next AC gallery you’ll be seeing after this is Gaim Jinba Arms after it’s release! So far now, be sure to check out our FULL 50+ image gallery of AC 09 Armored Rider Kurokage & Tulip Hopper by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

Lock On!

We’re back once again with another figure from everybody’s favorite line, Arms Change! Today we’re taking a look at the AC 08 Kamen Rider Shin Zangetsu figure from Kamen Rider Gaim!

At first glance you’ll notice a lot of similarities between this version of Zangetsu and the original. But don’t be fooled, there’s more than just a few repaints and retools separating the two. The Melon Energy Arms themselves are a fantastic departure from the original featuring a really awesome asymmetrical transformation.

Though this figure is by no means perfect, it’s a really fun and playable interpretation of one of the more powerful and recently likable characters in the series. If Shin Zangetsu is an indicator of the quality for the future AC Energy Rider releases then it’s safe to say they’ll be great!

It’s time for the ultimate Den-O/Baltmatrix team-up that no one demanded but you all deserve!

The 38th Super Sentai has officially entered the station, and with it comes an avalanche of new toys! From Ressha Sentai ToQger today’s gallery is of the DX ToQ Oh! Composed of 5 Ressahs (train cars) DX ToQ Oh is a great example of what Bandai of Japan’s toy engineering can accomplish when they really try. It’s a fantastically efficient and intelligently designed toy. It’s solid as a stand alone set, and in conjunction with the role play toys.

Neither pictures nor video reviews can really convey how awesome it is. You need it in hand to really get on board the imagination train! Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to check out our full 80 image gallery!

And speaking of video reviews our good buddy and photo & content staff member Baltmatrix has one to share! Check out his video review of the DX ToQ Oh below! And stay tuned as he and I will be collaborating in the coming weeks on more ToQger product as well!

under Power Rangers

Wild Access!

The Power Ranger Super Megaforce dry spell has ended thanks to photo & content member conundrum! So with that we’re back with a brand new gallery, and this time it’s the Wild Force Red Lion Zord!

The Red Lion is of course based on the mighty Gao Lion from Gaoranger, specifically based on his Gokaiger version of the character and his DX toy. Red Lion like Gao Lion features two unique combos with the Legendary Megazord. One a centaur like mode that serves as the Power Rangers Wild Force homage. The other is a massive samurai armor form that pays homage to Power Rangers Samurai. So far these forms are unnamed in the show, the toy packaging hasn’t given a name for them either. Their Japanese counterparts are Gao Gokai Oh and Shinken Gokai Oh respectively.

Raiden Kamitsuki Gattai!

The original minipla fiend himself, Moonbasetom, is at it again with this gallery of Minipla Raiden Kyoryuzin Lightning Brave Finish Version from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!

This kit represents Raiden Kyoryuzin just at the moment it uses the  Lighting Brave Finish attack. Hence the very awesome mix of orange and yellow translucent plastics to replicate the energy of the attack. As with all of these special multi-box premium minipla sets, some awesome gold foil labels are also included to really spice up the kit. This set was originally a Bandai Premium Webshop exclusive released last month for 3675 yen. Check your favorite secondary retailers now to find this set!

And we’re back with another Ultra-Act gallery! You may remember our little segment on Let’s Watch Wednesdays last year featuring Ultraman Nexus. Is so you’re in luck, today’s gallery is of none other than Ultraman Noa!

Noa is the true and Ultimate form of The Next & Ultraman Nexus. A being of immeasurable power Noa has protected his universe for hundreds of thousands of years. Dark Zagi was even cloned from Noa by the Visitors in the hopes of creating a second great hero. In an ironic twist of this relationship the Ultra-Act Noa figure is a remold of Ultra-Act Dark Zagi instead. As yet another excellent addition to the Ultra-Act line, Noa has received a gorgeous design & sculpt as well as selection of accessories despite his extremely limited appearances.
