Dobotsu Gattai!

It’s not uncommon for Korea to release new products years after a Sentai show has come to an end in its native country. We’ve seen them release an entirely new line of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Toys under the Power Rangers Dino Force Brave  name, along with a ToqOh variant during it’s run.

This time, Korea brings us two new variants: Titan King based on Zyuoh King and Burst King based on the Zyuoh Wild mold as part of their Power Rangers Animal Force toy line.

Titan King and Burst King will both be released at mass retail on the Korean market, overseas collectors will most likely need to turn to Ebay or gmarket if your looking to add these pieces to your Zyuohger collection.

Another month has come & gone and so we have a number of toy galleries and in depth reviews by our Photo & Content staff to round-up once again! Though all the products we reviewed this past month were released in the last 3 or 4 years, the content they covered spanned decades. A selection of Ranger Keys took us down the path of Metal Heroes from 1982 all the way to 2012, the Legacy line gave us a one-two punch throwback to 1994 & 1995, and we caught up with some much needed gallery 2.0’s a recent and often overlooked sentai.

As always you’ll find below links to this months gallery/reviews. We look forward to bringing you even more content this month!

Instincts Awakened!

TokuNation finally has the chance to present a long overdue gallery for the 4oth Super Sentai, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger! The show is just about a month in and we’ve liked what we’ve seen so far, now we turn out attention to some of the first releases from the shows toyline with DX Zyuoh King & DX Cube Kirin!

While this series blocky designs and simplicity have been a big turn off for many fans the show is undoubtedly fun. As for the toys looks can also be deceiving. While simplistic each Cube Animal has it’s own charm. The Cube Eagle, Shark, & Lion that make up Zyuoh King may not appear to be much individually but when taken together it’s impressive to see how Bandai incorporated the Cube form, animal mode, and the mechanisms necessary to form Zyuoh King in each of them. Cube Kirin is a pint-sized addition meant to arm up your Zyuoh King with it’s bazooka form. Not much on it’s own, it’s a nice accessory to Zyuoh King.

We’ve got over 50 images of DX Zyuoh King as well as 20 more of DX Cube Kirin waiting for you after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all.

After a few months of grainy scans and guesswork, we have our first good look at DX Wild Zyuoh King! This image was first circulated by @TokusatsuPapa on twitter.

As we can see from this latest image, Wild Zyuoh King incorporates every cube revealed thus far including recent reveals like Mogura & Kuma. The only absence is the yet unseen Cube Rhino. The combination seems to be taking a few pointers from the ToQger playbook with the leg extensions and side mounts, but the arms go in an entirely different direction. We aren’t sure yet if this mech skipped leg day or arms, but it certainly looks interesting!

The incomprehensibly annual grainy image period is over! We finally have our first true clear look at Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger! These new images finally give us a good look at several upcoming DX toys in the Jyuuouger line.

The Jyuuou Changer is indeed a cubical phone with a rotating element (think Rubix Cube) that allows you to choose the mode it’s used in (henshin, shokan, gattai). The Jyuuou Buster sidearm is confirmed to have both blade & gun forms. We get our first look at Jyuuou Eagle’s personal weapon the Eag Riser which is apparently also a segmented whip weapon!

But most interesting of all we get a fantastic look at the DX Cube Animals of the series! We’ve previously seen Jyuuou King, but these new images provide us with looks at Cube Elephant , Kirin, Tiger, & Gorilla.  Kirin can become a Bazook for Jyuuou King, Gorilla Tiger & Elephant can merge together to form Jyuuou Wild! And these images also confirms a huge rumor, Jyuuou Eagle can transform into Jyuuou Gorilla!

It’s been a busy 24 hours for the 40th anniversary sentai, behind the scenes images, blurry catalog reveals, and finally a decent look at the toys we’re about to come to know for the next year.

In these clearest images yet from the Doubutsu Sentai Jyuouger toy catalog we’re treated to a full resolution look at the series initial main mecha, DX Jyuuou King! As well as looks at the first 8 Cube Animals in their alternate forms. This of course includes a small tease of Cube Gorilla & Giraffe. These images also give us our best look yet at the Jyuuougers themselves:

Jyuuoh Eagle
Jyuuoh Shark
Jyuuoh Lion
Jyuuoh Elephant
Jyuuoh Tiger

While there are most assuredly more images still to come related to Jyuuouger, for now these are the abosolute best quality we’ve seen. We’ll keep you up to date as more images begin to circulate!

The wait is finally over, the leaks have begun! Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger is at last revealed! After a behind the scenes image was taken of the series Cube Animals on set yesterday we’re finally being treated to our first looks at this series toy catalog.

These new images provide us with our first look at the Jyuuougers themselves. Jyuuou Eagle, Jyuuou Shark, Jyuuou Lion, Jyuuou Elephant, & Jyuuou Tiger. Jyuuou Gorilla is absent for now. We also get our first peek at DX Jyuuou King! Composed of the first 3 Cube Animals (Eagle, Shark Lion) as revealed in toy information released late last week. Further images show us the basic cube forms of these 3 as well as reveal the animal forms of the first 7 Cube Animals including Cube Gorilla & Cube Giraffe.

We’ll keep you up to date as closer to full size images and the eventual full catalog are made available. For now discuss what we have so far in the thread below! All images comes courtesy of @netabare778if on twitter.
