Courtesy of our friend @PowerRangersTalk on Twitter, we have our first look at the packaging for the upcoming Legacy Ninja Megazord figure due out in October! These images were found on the Amazon image server. As like the Legacy Falconzord, the Legacy Ninja Megazord keeps the style of original movie packaging.
What do you think? Are you planning to pick one up, or is this a pass? Sound off in discussion!
With the debut of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid looming overhead, Toei’s finally released the first full length preview for next year’s show online, giving us a glimpse of not only how the characters interact with one another but a few scenes with Kamen Rider Brave, Kamen Rider Snipe, and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid in action.

It’s been a long and hot summer but TokuNation is bringing you in to the homestretch of 2016 for the holiday season! August has come and gone and before you know it so will September. But before we head that way, let’s take a look back at your favorite toy galleries posted for the month of August 2016:
Tokkei Winspector
S.H. figuarts Bikel
Kamen Rider Ghost
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Specter
Kamen Rider Kuuga
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form (original release)
Kamen Rider Kabuto
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack (original release)
Metal Heroes & Kamen Riders dominated our August, what will September bring? Actually more of the same! For this month we’ll have classic galleries from Kamen Rider Kabuto, our third entry from Tokkei Winspector, a sprinkling of Sentai, and perhaps some vintage figures we’ve yet to share…. And we definitely can’t forget our VERY special 500th gallery this month as well! Stay tuned!
Chang, Stag Beetle!
We’re trying something a little new this month at TokuNation. Or rather, something old. Recently we took a look at the original release of Kuuga Ultimate Form, ahead of his Shinkocchou Seihou renewal. Well today we’re going to take a look at another older release that’s about to be made obsolete by his S.S. replacement, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack!
The 4th release from the Kabuto line in 2008, Kamen Rider Gattack is showing his age quite a bit these days. While serviceable for the era he was released in, Gattack suffers from more than a few QC issues common at the time. On the flip side if you aren’t looking to drop the 6480 yen that the Shinkocchou Seihou release will run you next month, then the original Gattack may do the trick.
We’ve attached a selection of photos to this article but enjoy over 50 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We”ll bring you a full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack next month!
Chou Henshin!
My how time flies, it was only yesterday that S.H. Figuarts was starting to make it’s presence known in the era of Kamen Rider the First/Next & Decade. But the line has evolved in incredible ways since then, so it’s not often we take a step back with it. This month sees the release of Bandai’s latest premium style renewal with S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. But before we get our hands on it, we wanted to turn back the clock with this figure from 2010, the original release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form!
A dated figure by today’s standards, the original Kuuga Ultimate Form was actually pretty great. A solid sculpt with intricate paint apps, the then standard diecast feet, Toss in an abnormally decent accessory count, and that made this figuart one of the better releases for it’s day. But how does it hold up today? We’ve included 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form in the full gallery thread as well as a lengthy reviews detailing the ins & outs of this aging mold.
Consider this gallery prep work for our upcoming look at S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. Just based on official images alone it looks to be one of the most impressive figuarts releases this year. We’ll have the full gallery ready for you in a couple weeks!
Our final gallery from this year’s Power Morphicon is here and it’s none other than the highly anticipated, incredibly popular 6.5″ figures from Bandai America‘s new Power Rangers Legacy line! Every figure scheduled through late spring of next year is on display, however we skipped the figures that have already been released. Enjoy some nice images of:
Announced at the show was the continuation of the line through late Fall 2017, as well as who is coming out in what assortment. Check out that list below!
Late Fall 2016
Spring 2017
Fall 2017
Late Fall 2017
Who are the mystery figures?! There’s some speculation that it’ll be a four person team – and we’re sure whomever it is will be thunderous!

If there was one disappointment from this year’s Power Morphicon, it would have been the severe lack of anything new movie related being revealed to the hordes of diehard Power Rangers fans. But we’ll go in to detail on the wins and losses at this year’s show later – for now we did manage to get some very nice up close and personal shots of the upcoming Movie Legacy figures.
These figures are all 6.5″ in scale, the same scale as the newer Legacy figures that you’re finding in stores everywhere. Fun fact! The Movie Red Ranger figure is not the same as first photographed at San Diego Comic Con – in fact it was swapped out with a more updated figure after the first or second day of San Diego Comic Con! You should be able to tell based on the fact that it appears to have more paint than the other figures and the detailing looks a little more crisp.

While there was plenty of new and exciting things to see at this year’s Power Morphicon, easily the most surprising and most exciting was the reveal of the upcoming Soul of Chogokin DaiZyuJin from Tamashii Nations. Featuring diecast metal and an incredible amount of detail, there was no details given about the new item from the Soul of Chogokin line. Adam from Tamashii Nations was on hand and the only details he would give us, or anyone, was that the best thing to relate this item to was the previously released Soul of Chogokin Voltron figure.
Teased in the text is “Battle mode has been initiated for NYCC 2016” … promising a more in-depth look at this amazing set of figures at this year’s New York Comic Con. And dare we say it … the first look at a combined mode? I mean, it’s not like we can see the Megazord’s head in a couple of the images we took … or can you?

Absent from San Diego Comic Con 2016 but teased for Power Morphicon 5, Bandai America delivered – the first wave of Power Rangers Ninja Steel product was revealed this past weekend! On display were the following items:
Bandai America also answered a few questions about this upcoming product. Jokingly, they stated the slits in the skirts for the 5″ female Rangers was done because they were tired of not being able to pose them in more than one pose at all the conventions (in reality, they heard the feedback from fans and made the change for this toy line). These figures are a new production run of the Bandai Japan Ninninger figures, and the females are brand new molds. The sword accessory is also larger than the Bandai Japan one. The ninja stars that you see are rough mock-ups, the actual final versions did not ship in time for them to be displayed with the product. They will be a soft foam like plastic because kids will want to throw them, but they will be fun and of course, very collectible.

The Power Rangers Dino Supercharge toy line is slowly coming to a close but that didn’t stop Bandai America from showing off what’s left at this year’s Power Morphicon 5! We went through the booth taking pictures of some items that you already have, as well as the new items that you don’t! Check out images of the new upcoming 5″ figures as well as some of those repainted zords you may not own yet! Enjoy over 25 images from Power Morphicon 5 – Power Rangers Dino Supercharge toy images!
