Today, Tsuburaya Productions has officially announced the next hero of the Ultraman franchise! Beginning July 6th on TV Tokyo is Ultraman Taiga! This series will also be a unique 3-for-1 special! Our host this year, Hiroyuki Kudo, has the ability to transform into 3 different Ultra’s! Hiroyuki uses the Taiga Spark wrist changer and Ultra Taiga Accessory to access the power of these 3 heroes.

From Planet U40 is Ultraman Titas! This buff Ultra is a skilled heavyweight fighter and hails from the same planet as 1979’s Ultraman Jonias. Next up we have Ultraman Fuma! This speed based fighter has a strong sense of duty even if his personality is a bit rough. Fuma hails from Planet O-50, the same world where Orb, Rosso, & Blu became warriors of light! And leading the series is the titular Ultraman Taiga! A young Ultra with a strong sense of justice, Taiga comes from the M78 Nebula just like his father, Ultraman Taro! Together these 3 heroes form the Tri Squad and take on the villainous, Ultraman Tregear!

The latest of the New Generation Heroes series, Ultraman Taiga, is set to begin this July 6th at 9AM JST!

“Unleash the Beast!”

With Hasbro’s acquisition of the Power Rangers brand, both the TV show and the toy line have been revitalized. From the lowest price point entries up to the largest scale figures, everything has changed. While the majority of the brand is heavily focused on the currently airing Beast Morphers, we are still getting some product from throughout the franchise. One way is with collector style figures in the Lightning Collection line, another is through the mini figure line of Micro Morphers! Consisting of rangers, villains, and even some megazords, this line offers a fun alternative for fans of all ages.

Today we’ve taken a look at the Micro Morphers line for a little mini-review with 1 Blind Bag of rangers and 1 Megazord Blind Box. Coming 2 with 2 rangers per pack, the blind bag we opened came with a lovely Morph-X Red Ranger and the one and only Rita Repulsa! While our Megazord pack included the Beast-X Megazord as well as Smash the Beast Bot and the villainous Slicertron!

We’ve put together a 40 image mini-gallery of these figures that you can see attached to this post. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see our full review and breakdown of these blind packs as well. We’ll be back soon with 6″ Blaze & Tronic!

“In that case, I need to put an end to that destiny right now!”

Born in a future without hope, Geiz Myokoin fought as a resistance fighter against the overlord, Oma Zi-O. But with everything in his life decimated by the overlord, Geiz resolved to travel to the past and eliminate him before he could ever rise power. Using a Time Mazine & Ziku Driver, Geiz comes to the present day as Kamen Rider Geiz! But faced with a Zi-O who’s anything but the evil overlord he knows, can Geiz bring himself to change the future? Or will a begrudging friendship with present day Sougo Tokiwa send history down another path?

The final secondary rider of the Heisei Era arrives! Following up from our review of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz brings basically all the same qualities to the line. A minor retool and extensive repaint of the Zi-O mold, Geiz is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. While it lacks weapons like Zi-O, Geiz does include two 20 Rider Kicks Ridewatch Tamashii Stages!

We’ve attached the full 70+ image gallery to this post, but you can also check out the full review of Kamen Rider Geiz by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we head back to the Morhpin Grid with a review Beast Morphers 6″ Cybervillain Blaze!

Highlights from this new catalog include:

*The personal Kishiryu of the Sixth Ranger, RyuSoul Gold! This newcomer is a Mosasaurus-based figure called MosaRex! MosaRex can combine with the previously revealed DimeVolcano for a battle combination known as SpinoThunder.

*MosaRex also has a unique battle configuration- KishiRyu Neptune! This Mecha is armed with a pair of mini-drones known as AmmoKnuckles– which appear to be based on ammonites.
KishiRyu Neptune & KishiRyuOh can combine to form the strongest Dino Knight yet- Giganto KishiRyuOh!

But Gold’s Kishiryu aren’t the only newcomers this time around:

*A pair of Velociraptor-based Kishiryu will be introduced; they are known as ShineRaptor & ShadowRaptor with a combined form called CosmoRaptor. The Raptors can combine with KishiRyuOh to form new weapons & appear to grant a new battle armor form for RyuSoul Red as well.

*A Pachycephalosaurus styled Kishiryu rounds out the lineup, named Pachygaru. Combining with KishiRyuOh unlocks powerful punching attacks.

Last but certainly not least is the Movie-exclusive Mecha! This is a black and gold rerelease of Tyramigo with a new dragon motif- officially titled KishiRyuJin!

“Unleash the Beast!”

Was it chance or fate that Devon Daniels just happened to sneak into Grid Battleforce headquarters on the day that the villainous Evox infiltrated it? Planning to turn the soon to be Power Rangers into his avatar puppets, Evox struck and succeeded with two potential heroes. But thanks to Devon, Ravi, & Zoey, Evox hasn’t won yet. To stop the avatars Blaze & Roxy the latest generation of teenagers with attitude harness the power of Morph X to become the Power Rangers!

The Beast Morphers toyline has officially kicked off in Canada and the US! Meaning collector’s all over are beginning to see these toys in the wild for the first time. Some of the first products being spotted at most retail stores are the 6″ Basic Figure Wave 1 assortment. The Red Ranger from this assortment kicks the line off really nicely and sets the bar a lot higher than any ranger figure’s from Bandai America ever did at this price point. The new 6″ scale is a welcome change to most, there’s better articulation than what we used to get, no more steroid muscle proportions and these figure’s actually come with multiple accessories! Like the Beast X Saber, Cheetah Beast Blaster, and a Morph X Key! 

We’ve assembled over 65 images of the 6″ Basic Red Ranger in this gallery. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our full review thread. Our next Beast Morphers gallery will feature none other than Cyber Villain Blaze!

In a rather surprising turn of events, we’ve just recently learned that the next Super Sentai dub to air in South Korea will not be last year’s Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatRanger, but rather the 43rd Super Sentai series: Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger which is set to debut later this weekend.

It’s no secret that Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger was a big hit over there, which saw release in South Korea under the “Power Rangers Dino Force” title. It was such a success that an entirely new sequel series titled Dino Force Brave was put into production. South Korea chose to skip Lupin VS Pat, for now, is likely a reaction to the numerous similarities Ryusoulger has to Kyoryuger, and how well that series did over there.

it is currently unknown if Ryusoulger will see a simultaneous air time in Korea as it does in Japan, or if there’ll be a delay between episodes but we’ll be sure to bring you an update on the situation as more info becomes clear.

 

UPDATE: We now know that the Ryusoulger dub will begin airing in August 2019.

“I feel power, overflowing.”

To stop Blood Stalk, to save Sento, to reclaim Pandora’s box, Banjou will bathe in the fires of his own rage! Born from the burnt Dragon Magma Full Bottle, Cross-Z undergoes his ultimate transformation. Let’s see just how bright this fire burns in our latest gallery, with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma!!

Cross-Z Magma is a lavish repaint and retool of the fantastic Cross-Z version of the Build body type, that we’ve seen numerous times in this line. Decked out in alternating hues of metallic orange and gold paint, adorned with a number of ornate dragon faces, and equipped with the massive pair of Pyro Wings on his back, Cross-Z Magma is a fierce and striking figuart. The included Magma Knuckle which is removable from the Build Driver, and can transform, adds an extra layer of playability to this figure or any other rider you wish as well.
