Toku Toy Box returns with yet another gallery of a classic toy! Picking up where we left off with our Superchange Kabutack DX Gallery we’re moving 1 year ahead to Kabutack’s follow up series, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack, the final Metal Hero! Today’s gallery will focus on the series lead character in toy form, Magnet Change Robotack!

A revolutionary toy line, Robotack features my absolute favorite gimmick ever; Magnet (Jishakku) Change! Each figure in the line consisted of a central torso with detachable limbs each embedded with a magnet. Not only did this allow you transform each figure from it’s Normal Mode to Super Mode but every figure in the line was totally interchangeable with one another! Any number of unique combinations is possible. Robotack himself is a sturdy die-cast laden toy more than worth adding to your collection, especially for the low prices he’s available for today!

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post in order to view the entire 80 image gallery as well as a full review of this set! We’ve also included a short synopsis of Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack for those unfamiliar with the series. And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!

The avalanche of new Power Rangers Dino Super Charge releases hitting retail has struck again! Just found at retail by twitter user  ‏@DaHoneyBooBoo is the new Dino Super Charge Black T-Rex Zord!

This gorgeous new repaint, inspired by the DX Black Kyoryuzin, looks to have some nice metallic gold plastics used for accents. It also appears to share some molding with it’s wavemate the Spino Zord. As it also features the spine/back mounted missle firing weapon.

Have you found any of the new hot 5″ Dino Super Charge figures or Zords at retail yet? If so sound off in our Toku Toy Sightings forum where we have state to state threads for locals to share their finds!

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!

Superchange!

Toku Toy Box is back with yet another vintage gallery for your viewing pleasure! Today we take a look back at a classic entry in the Metal Heroes franchise circa 1997-1998 with B-Robo Kabutack! And the toy of it’s titular hero, the Superchange Kabutack DX Set!

An often overlooked series, B-Robo Kabutack was the spiritual successor to the long forgotten Toei Fushigi Comedy series. A franchise marked by fun loving almost child like robots and their human allies. Examples being shows like Batten Robomaru, Morimori Bokkun, & Robot 8-Chan. Kabutack sat itself apart with some fantastic production values, a plot that borrows more than a little bit from Dragonball, and an absolutely fantastic gimmick for it’s toyline; Superchange! This DX Superchange set includes the fully transformable Kabutack as well as his 2 armors Drillut & Zabut, each sporting 3 different combinations with Kabutack!

We’ve also included a short synopsis of B-Robo Kabutack for those unfamiliar. And remember that this gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win! We’ll be back very soon with another gallery related to this one, in the form of Kabutack’s succesor. The final Metal Heroes series, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack!

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.

While we want to tread lightly after the faked catalog scans that appeared online yesterday we believe this is a much more credible set of information.

If you recall last year thanks to the CraneJoe Blog we got some pretty early & spot-on information on what Shuriken Sentai Ninninger’s toy line would consist of. Well he’s back this year with what looks to be a rundown of the entire initial toy line for Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuoger as well!

While there is of course always a chance that this information is false, CraneJoe has proven to be a reliable source for toy information in the past. Let us know what you think in the comments below! Actual images of Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuohger shoulder be popping up online in the very near future!

Some more official images of upcoming items that we either speculated or saw listings of are finally surfacing. This time we’re looking at two new deluxe zords for the Power Rangers Dino Supercharge line! A black (and slightly gold) T-Rex Zord with a distinct remold – basically, the Spinosaurus Zord fin on the top is intact on this T-Rex Zord.

Also, we have the zord that we assume is piloted by the Talon Ranger – the Spinosaurus Zord! With the fin on top featuring a missile-firing action as well as a remolded head for the dinosaur, this will easily be on the list of every collector.

We’re kicking off our annual Toku Toy Box giveaway with a vintage blast from the past! Released as a part of Bandai’s short lived American Godaikin toy line, today we take a look at the Machineman & Machine Dolphin set!

From the classic but often forgotten series Seiun Kamen Machineman, the Machine Dolphin vehicle can switch between 3 alternate modes. The standard Machine Dolphin supercar, Dolphin Jet, & the humanoid Dolphin Robo! Machineman himself can ride along in any of these modes as well! Machineman also comes packed with accessories like his Laser Saber & Throttle Gun, as well as his tiny sidekick Ball Boy! Both Machineman and this vehicle feature significant diecast content as well! A true classic the Machine Dolphin set reminds us of how creative and unique Toku Toys could once be.

If you have no experience with the Machineman series or character then have no fear! We’ve included a brief overview of both in the gallery below. Feel free to browse more than 50 images of the Godaikin Machineman & Machine Dolphin as well asa full review by clicking “Discuss on the The TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post!
