“We need Megazord power, NOW!”

SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord! 

The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.

Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.

Revealed originally at Power Morphicon, and confirmed for release via Figure Oh, we finally have official images for the SOC Soul Of Chogokin GX-85 King Brachion!

The mighty Brachion (Titanus for those of us in the west) rounds out the MMPR/Zyuranger Chogokin collection for many fans. These official images give us a great sense of the impressive scale of this figure next to the other Guardian Beasts and shows off the combined Ultimate Daizyujin/Dino Ultrazord mode.

SOC King Brachion/Titanus will be released as a general retail item in February 2019 for 29,160 yen.

Thanks to some fresh scans floating around from this month’s Figure Oh we have release information on a selection of new S.H. Figuarts, but more on that in a minute. In the mean time this issue has just confirmed official release information for Soul of Chogokin GX-85 King Brachion! This figure was just revealed to be in the works at this weekend’s Power Morphicon 2018 under it’s western release as Soul of Chogokin Titanus.

Figure Oh confirms that King Brachion is headed for a February 2019 release at 29,160 yen. Which seems to be a bit under most people’s expectations on price. Brachion also appears to be a general retail release, likely because of it’s western distribution as Titanus. With these confirmations we can expect official images of the figure to be released in the new future. When they are, we’ll be sure to update our ongoing discussion thread.

Just revealed only hours ago to the general public, we have brand new up close and clear images of Soul Of Chogokin Titanus AKA King Brachion!

Whether you’re a fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, this massive mighty carrier will make a fine addition to your collection. While currently we still have no idea what the release window and price are looking for at this time, we can see that this will be an impressive companion to your SOC Megazord (Daizyujin) & SOC Dragonzord (Dragon Caesar).

We’ll keep you up to date as more new information becomes available. Be sure to follow us here and on our social media on twitter @TokuNation or check in with our man on the ground at Power Morphicon 2018, @TokuChris!

Released just last week at San Diego Comic Con, the GX-76B Soul of Chogokin Black Megazord will no longer be exclusive to SDCC. According to the latest issue of Figure Oh, we have confirmed the release of this set in Japan.

Release date has not been announced at this time, but the GX-76B Soul of Chogokin Black Daizyujin will officially be available as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Retail price is 32,400 yen. This release will likely feature some slightly altered packaging though we don’t know what it looks like at this time.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated as this story develops.

Surprise! No, this isn’t the recently teased SOC GX-81 release Tamashii Nations has been talking about on Twitter. This year’s con exclusive release is indeed a a Black repaint of the SOC GX-76 Megazord/Daizyujin

Taking a current from Transformers repaints of the same variety, rather than use the usual gold accents we see with Black Megazord & Daizyujin repaints, this one opts for teal accents. Nemesis Megazord am I right?

This release will be exclusively available at San Diego Comic Con 2018, at the Bluefin Brands booth.

“Appear Daizyujin!”

We know this one’s been out for a while, but when you’re dealing with something this incredible, it takes a bit of time to do the job right. So we’ve taken our time and shot an in depth gallery of nearly 200 images, with a full length 7 part review of this fantastic release. It’s well past time we share with you our in depth look at the Soul of Chogokin SOC GX-76 Daizyujin! Of course for the western collectors out there this is none other than the MMPR Megazord!

Daizyujin is that most iconic of Sentai mecha to those of us in the west. It’s gone through various toylines, updates, and revisions over the years, and finally Tamashii Nations has tackled it with an entry in their long line of SOC’s. This figure sat out to recreate the iconic designs of the 5 Guardian Beasts and their two combined forms using modern engineering. The results are near flawless. We have a die-cast laden, poseable, proportionate, and imposing figure to add to our collections. Special note, our review piece today (provided by the infinitely generous TokuChris) features the western Bluefin distribution exclusive packaging. Consisting of new MMPR themed box art.

We’ve attached the MASSIVE 195 image gallery of SOC Daizyujin to this post. But you can also read our lengthy review of this set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. This gallery & review were a labor of love for me. And if you’re a fan of Zyuranger or MMPR, I hope it does the job of making you want this set.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

Premium Bandai’s in house Super Sentai Artisan line continues with a new dual release! Today we get to take a look at the recently released Artisan Rodeomaru & Chouzetsu Akaninger 2-pack!

Rodeomaru & Akaninger are of course both new high end replacements for their DX counterparts. Rodeomaru offers a splendid new accurate robot mode with a healthy amount of die-cast metal or “gokin” parts thrown in for good measure. He also includes some replacement arms and shoulders to help recreate his combination with DX Bison King. And much like the previously released Artisan Shinobimaru he also included a to-scale Starninger figure!

Chouzetsu Akaninger on the other hand is a tiny yet articulated alternative to the figure included with DX Lion Ha Oh. While there are no metal parts present in this mini-figure, he does manage to include his Ninja Ichibantou as well as 2 adapter pieces to allow him to function with Lion Ha Oh.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but feel free to click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to view the  full 50 image gallery!
