“Hyperlink combine!”

SSSS.Gridman took two communities by storm in the last year. The anime & tokusatsu fandoms were united by the amazing animation studio Trigger’s love letter to the original Denkou Choujin Gridman and it’s near countless references to other tokusatsu of year’s past. The series was short but it’s impact was immense, leading to a near endless stream of related multimedia and products since. Ever since the series ended, fans have been patiently waiting for the promised toys to come of it.

DX Full Power Gridman is the first major attempt to recreate the 5 components of Gridman’s true form. Gridman, Gridman Calibur, Battle Tracto Max, Buster Borr, & Sky Vitter. Each component on it’s own may not do much, but combining Gridman with 1 of each, or assembling them all together can create Full Power Gridman! Or if you so choose to leave Gridman out of the equation entirely, then you can create God Zenon! While there’s a wealth of options with this set in hand, does it actually live up to the hype? We have a very very lengthy written review and photo gallery breaking down how expectations, have met reality.

Thanks to a pair of new listings posted on Toywiz we have our first looks at two as of yet unannounced new items for Power Rangers Beast Morphers. Both Zords are of the “Converting” variety. So these are the combining zords meant to go along with the upcoming Beast-X Megazord components!

First up we have the Silver Ranger’s Beast Jet Zord! Luckily for this one, Toywiz does have an official description:“Imagine calling on the power of the Beast Jet Converting Zord and battling the Power Rangers’ toughest foes. Convert from robotic Scarab Mode, ready for a fight, to Jet Mode, ready to fly to the next place Zord power is needed. And, combined with Beast Racer Converting Zord, Beast Wheeler Converting Zord, Beast Wrecker Converting Zord and Beast Chopper Converting Zord (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.), kids can assemble the Beast- X Ultrazord to imagine taking on even more powerful foes. Go Go Power Rangers!” The listed price via Toywiz is $29.99and the figure is expected to ship in September.

Next, we have the Gold Ranger’s Beast Wrecker Zord! While the Toywiz listing doesn’t have an official description yet, it’s apparent what we’re getting from this release. This Beetle Based zord converts from insect to mechanical crane truck mode and can also combine with the Beast Wrecker or be used with the other 4 Zords to create the Beast-X Ultrazord! This Zord is also listed at $29.99 with a September release.

When a proper description arrives for the Beast Wrecker Zord we’ll be sure to update this story. Hopefully the reveal of these two zords also means that official images of the Beast-X Ultrazord won’t be far behind either.

Our good friend @MisturYellow on twitter originally discovered these listings.

The latest round of magazine scans has also given fans some teasers for the future adventures of the 43rd Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

Taking center stage this month is the Knight of Destiny, RyuSoul Gold! Hailing from a long-lost RyuSoul Tribe hidden in the seas, the warrior Kanaro comes armed with two unique weapons- the MosaChanger gun and the MosaBlade saber. RyuSoul Gold has already mastered a powerful RyuSoul known as the BiriBiri Soul which activates powerful electric armor in combat.

RyuSoul Gold has two purposes in joining the surface world: to repel the Druidon Tribe attacks on Earth, and to find a bride! Kanaro is aided in both tasks by his younger sister, Oto.

Joining RyuSoul Gold in combat is his signature Kishiryu– the massive MosaRex! The only aquatic Kishiryu yet revealed, MosaRex is described as Kanaro’s Master who taught the young RyuSoulger everything he knew about combat. MosaRex has a unique Mecha configuration- transforming into KishiRyu Neptune!

Finally, another villain will be joining the series- the cursed knight Gaisorg! This legendary warrior first appeared in the Super Sentai Strongest Battle mini-series, and now at last his hunt for the RyuSoulgers takes center stage.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for RyuSoulger fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Super Sentai news!

The massive mecha known as the Time Mazine is the last line of defense between the rebels of 2068 & the dark overlord Oma Zi-O. In order to complete his mission of defeating Oma Zi-O, Kamen Rider Geiz travels from the future to the present day in his Time Mazine. Taking on Another Riders & Time Jackers alike, the Geiz Time Mazine is a formidable force in the fight to save the future!

The DX Geiz Time Mazine is a straight repaint of the big DX toy of the line this year, the Time Mazine. If you’ve handled the original Time Mazine, then you know exactly what you’re getting. This DX toy winds up being one of the best articulated mecha we’ve gotten in a while (take that Sentai!) and is completely interactive with the Ride Watches of the toyline. This figure is also scaled to work with the Rider Kicks RKF line and even transforms to vehicle mode. While the original Mazine came with the OOO Ridewatch, the Geiz Time Mazine includes the DX Diend Ridewatch!

We’ve attached the full gallery of DX Geiz Time Mazine to this article, but you can also read up on our full review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week, we’ll be back with the Power Rangers Beast Morphers NERF Cheetah Beast Blaster!

The first images from the next wave of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger merchandise have hit the Internet, revealing some remarkable new entries for the Dino Knight Super Sentai!

Highlights from this new catalog include:

*The personal Kishiryu of the Sixth Ranger, RyuSoul Gold! This newcomer is a Mosasaurus-based figure called MosaRex! MosaRex can combine with the previously revealed DimeVolcano for a battle combination known as SpinoThunder.

*MosaRex also has a unique battle configuration- KishiRyu Neptune! This Mecha is armed with a pair of mini-drones known as AmmoKnuckles– which appear to be based on ammonites.
KishiRyu Neptune & KishiRyuOh can combine to form the strongest Dino Knight yet- Giganto KishiRyuOh!

But Gold’s Kishiryu aren’t the only newcomers this time around:

*A pair of Velociraptor-based Kishiryu will be introduced; they are known as ShineRaptor & ShadowRaptor with a combined form called CosmoRaptor. The Raptors can combine with KishiRyuOh to form new weapons & appear to grant a new battle armor form for RyuSoul Red as well.

*A Pachycephalosaurus styled Kishiryu rounds out the lineup, named Pachygaru. Combining with KishiRyuOh unlocks powerful punching attacks.

Last but certainly not least is the Movie-exclusive Mecha! This is a black and gold rerelease of Tyramigo with a new dragon motif- officially titled KishiRyuJin!

The premiere of the 43rd Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger is drawing closer and closer! And today we have some new images from the second wave of toys for this exciting new series!

These are the KishiRyu belonging to Ryusoul Green & Ryusoul Black, who are not expected to appear with their fellow RyuSoulgers at the beginning of the series.

Each KishiRyu adds a different ability to the RyuSoulgers’ arsenal-

*Ryusoul Green’s TigerLance is a powerful sabertoothed creature that attacks with teeth and claws. TigerLance combines with KishiRyuOh to create KishiRyuOh TigerLance and grant powerful swordsmanship abilities.

*Ryusoul Black’s MilNeedle is a spiked dinosaur that attacks by throwing projectiles. MilNeedle combines with KishiRyuOh to create KishiRyuOh MilNeedle with incredible punching skills.

Both KishiRyu are currently scheduled for release in April 2019!

The latest round of magazine scans has come online, giving fans even more details about the upcoming Super Sentai series Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

Taking center stage this month are the RyuSouls– the devices that will enhance the RyuSoulgers’ powers. Each Soul has a different function:

*The MabushiSoul creates a blinding light
*The MukiMukiSoul gives its user super-strength
*The GyakuSoul can fix broken items
*The NemuSoul makes opponents fall asleep

And many more RyuSouls await discovery!

Not to be outdone, we also get some better images of the KishiRyu– the partner dinosaurs belonging to each RyuSoulger! The KishiRyu team consists of Red Tyramigo, Blue Triken, Pink Ankydoze, Green TigerLance & Black MiNeedle. Each one has unique combat abilities. RyuSoul Red is shown using another RyuSoul- the ChiaSoul on Tyramigo to shrink down his Kishiryu to the size of a human.

The KishiRyus combine to form the great Mecha Knight, KishiRyuOh! The RyuSoulgers’ first combination will be Tyramigo, Triken and Ankydoze creating KishiRyuOh Three Knights! Then, when TigerLance is added to the group they will create KishiRyuOh TigerLance! This new form is much faster and has even greater swordsmanship.

Finally, we are given a quick glimpse at the series’ villains- the Druidon and the monsters they will create, called Minusaurs. The villain character Creon will select human beings to transform into monsters, draining away their life energy.

Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger officially begins March 17 2019! Stay tuned to TokuNation for any new details on this remarkable new series!

This is our first look at the 43rd Super Sentai’s SIXTH Ranger, Ryusoul Gold! This RyuSoulger has a gold base costume but with navy blue highlights instead of the silver seen on the core five. His personal Kishiryu is a Mosasaurus.

Ryusoul Gold’s unique henshin device is the Mosa Changer– a gun that is powered by the Ryusouls. His signature weapon is known as the Mosa Blade which can combine with the Changer for more powerful attacks.

But Gold isn’t the only newcomer in these scans! A new Kishiryu has been revealed- DimeVolcano! This Dimetrodon based Mecha is able to combine with KishiRyuOh and increase its firepower. DimeVolcano also brings a unique Ryusoul- the MeraMera Cho RyuSoul– that gives the Ryusoulgers special upgrade armor.
