If you haven’t been following Tokunation’s year long tribute to Power Rangers 20th Anniversary, then here’s your chance to jump in on our coverage! This month our tribute turns to Power Rangers Megaforce & Super Megaforce and to celebrate we’re bringing you galleries of the ENTIRE line of DX mecha from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

Today’s gallery is of the Gokaigers main mecha, Gokai Oh! The central gimmick of this line was opening compartments which could house future mecha add-ons. These “Grand Powers” of previous sentai split into multiple components which could either fully fill the Gokai Oh’s compartments or in some cases replace the limbs of it entirely. The dial on Gokai Oh’s back hits triggers in each limb as it’s turned and opens the compartments in sequence. An additional cannon accessory can also be mounted within the chest and can be activated by the spinning dial gimmick. If you’d like to, check out the differences between this figure and it’s US counterpart the Legendary Megazord[/URL] then check those images out as well.

They just won’t stop coming! Thanks again to Fury Diamond and his blog Samurai Cast Blog we have images of the upcoming Super Megaforce Zeo Racer Zord! This zord is completely new for Power Rangers Super Megaforce, as it had no counterpart in its Super Sentai counterpart, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

The Zeo Racer Zord has two modes – a race car mode and what is best described as a “standing gun mode”. The pieces can combine with the Legendary Megazord to create a Power Rangers Zeo inspired combination.

There is no evidence to believe this will be featured in the actual show of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, as this is again a completely 100% Bandai of America creation.

Are you adding this to your list?

Thanks to ToyWiz via Amazon.com and Fury Diamond and his Samurai Cast Blog we have our first look at the Super Megaforce Wild Force Red Lion Zord! This figure is a double whammy – meant as homage to Power Rangers Wild Force in its lion mode, and a homage to Power Rangers Samurai when it combines with the Legendary Megazord!

And it has Lion Pants mode!

You know you want one. But are you going to get one? Let’s talk about it!

Thanks to ToyWiz via Amazon.com and Fury Diamond and his Samurai Cast Blog we have the first images of the upcoming Power Rangers Super Megaforce Delta Runner Zord with Blue Ranger set (minus the Blue Ranger). This toy is based off the Pat Striker (meant as a homage to Power Rangers S.P.D.) from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger which could combine with the GokaiOh mech. And as you see here, the Delta Runner Zord can combine with the Legendary Megazord!

What do you think? Gonna get one? I am!

Thanks to ToyWiz via Amazon.com and Fury Diamond and his Samurai Cast Blog we have our first look at the upcoming Super Megaforce Mystic Dragon with Green Ranger toy (minus the Green Ranger). This is the Bandai of America version of the MajiDragon figure that combined with the GokaiOh mech from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

I think it works pretty well, all things considered!

What do you think? Will you pick it up to go with your Legendary Megazord?

The wild ride is over, Power Rangers Wild Force/Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger month has come to an end with this final Gallery! And today we’re taking a look at a very special release, DX Gao Hutner Silver Chrome edition! This promo set was only available in mainland Asia as a part of a special giveaway. It swaps nearly all plastic colors for silver chrome aside from some key points which feature flat grey plastic instead. These releases were not packaged in a complete boxed set like normal Gao Hunter but were instead released only in individual boxes.

It should be noted that while released in mainland Asia in Gaoranger packaging this set is actually based on the Korean release of the figure. And Korean Gaoranger DX’s are actually made from an entirely separate 2nd production run made specifically for release in that region. As a result diecast parts were removed in most cases and the plastics were of a significantly lower quality. However this set still features diecast shoulders. And it also has nylon strands under Gaolligator’s front legs that are present in the US release which secure them if they come off their hinges. Making this set is a bit of a frankenstein’s monster. As may be evident in the photos, reflective chrome is hard to photograph properly :p

So thanks so much for sticking with us throughout this long month of tributes and photos! Next month we close the year with Power Rangers Megaforce & Super Megaforce! To celebrate we’re going to be bringing you complete galleries of the entire DX line from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger!

Just a few short days before our Power Rangers Wild Force tribute is over and “Gaollery” number 15 is here! Straight from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger is this special repaint of DX Gao Hunter.

Gao Hunter Blue Moon appears only once in the course of Gaoranger. In Quest 40. This form was only accessible because Gao God sealed the Power Animals and Sky Island off from the Gaorangers leaving them helpless, as a test. Only Gao Silver was able to still call forth his Animals. And in the midst of losing a battle the other 5 Gaorangers boosted Hunters power by offering their own, creating Gao Hunter Blue Moon!

Blue Moon swaps all the green plastics of the standard release for blue, which effectively means that Gaolligator is the only figure that shows any differences, Hammerhead and Wolf are unchanged from their initial releases. Gao Hunter Justice is the only version of this mecha that’s capable of using this form in show as well. Though the DX toy can still assume Justice or Evil form.

AND be sure to tune in Sunday for a special bonus “Gaollery” to round out our month long tribute!

Today we got to see the first public appearance of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Many of you have already gone out to Toys’R’Us and purchased your Power Rangers Super Megaforce figures. But there are many of you who are probably still on the fence on whether or not you want to pull the trigger on the Bandai of America version of your favorite Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger figures.

If our galleries haven’t convinced you, maybe this video review of the Power Rangers Super Megaforce Legendary Megazord by our good friend and staffer baltmatrix will convince you. Check it out, along with a preview of our brand new logo for our upcoming site relaunch, scheduled for the early part of December!

Go Go Megaforce!

The hits just keep coming! Our tribute to Power Rangers Wild Force is almost over, but to wet your appetite before Thanksgiving here’s yet another gallery from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger! Today we focus on another special release, DX Gao Ape!

Gao Ape is along the same lines as the Black Gao King set[/URL] and at first glance you may assume it’s just a black repaint of Gao Gorilla. However it’s actually a repaint of Gao Kong and as such features the Gao Knight faceplate! So if you already own the Black Gao King, were able to get the rare TRU Gao Knight set with bonus Black Elephant, AND were able to get this Gao Ape figure via the mail in campaign then you can create what you see here, Black Gao Knight!

This figure was only available via a special mail in campaign through the Super Sentai Mecha Visual 1975-2002 Art Book. As such it’s an extremely limited release, and to cut costs it comes in a box that’s about 3 inches smaller than the normal Gorilla or Kong boxes. It also lacks the Gao Jewel figurine and Anchor Chain weapon as a result. And despite it’s nature as a repaint, Gao Ape is officially included in the master list of 100 Power Animals.

You know the drill by now right? Well of course! It’s Power Rangers Wild Force month at Tokunation! And as we begin to round out our little series of “Gaolleries” we take a look at a very special release from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!

DX Black Gao King is a special repaint of the standard Gao King set done up in, you guessed it, black/silver, packed in a black/white version of the normal Gao King box. The set has a nice sleek uniform color scheme that’s very pleasing to the eye. Though if you already have a normal Gao King this may not be a set you’d want to double up with. The Black Gao Elephant released with the TRU Gao Knight set[/URL] is also a perfect addition to this set allowing you to make a full on Black Gao King Sword & Shield!

Of course this set is part of a long long tradition of black repaints not only for sentai, but for mecha shows in general. The first black edition sentai robo being the Black Daizyujin later altered for release in the US as the Black MMPR Megazord.
