The line, produced by Jakks Pacific, looks to be a bit more diverse than the one released for the 2014 Godzilla film. This time including 3.5″, 6″, 12″, and 24″ size classes. This lineup is set for release in May of this year and includes the following according to Animegami:

While the next Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger, doesn’t officially begin airing until March of 2019 that doesn’t mean the toys won’t be heavily promoted leading up to their eventual release. Word on the street is Toei and Bandai Japan are going all-in for this series in hopes of turning what has felt like an inevitable tide of disappointing toy sales and show ratings for Super Sentai over the last few years.

Thanks to YouTube user ショウカイジャー we have our first look at some of the new toy offerings on display in a local shop in Japan. Check out the video below to see these glorious items in person (well, as in person as a video can be).

At long last we have the first images of the 43rd Super Sentai team- Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger!

Digging back into the Toei well, this series appears to be DINOSAUR themed!

*This new team will consist of five members- Red T-Rex, Blue Triceratops, Pink Ankylosaurus Green Sabertooth, & Black Stegosaurus. Each Ranger is referred to as a “Knight” in the listings.

*The Ryusougers’ powers come from Ryu Souls– miniature device resembling dinosaur heads that transform into knights & can fit into their henshin device (the Ryusou Changer! This device activates with the phrase “RyuSou Cool!” Extra Ryu Souls are stored in the Ryu Soul Buckle.

*Each Ranger is armed with the Ryu SouKen– a Gun/Sword sidearm.

*The teams’ main Mecha will be Red’s T-Rex- which has a unique form, KishiRyuOh! Other Ryusougers can form weapons & armor for KishiRyuOh- when the first three Knights come together, a combination known as KishiRyuOh Three Knights! Additional combos are shown based on the other Knights- KishiRyuOh TigerLance and KishiRyuOh MiNeedle!

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Super Sentai fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new series!

under Kamen Rider

To celebrate the return of the Destroyer Of Worlds, Premium Bandai has announced a special new release of Kamen Rider Decade‘s signature henshin device- the DecaDriver!

Labeled as the Neo DecaDriver this new device is an upgrade on Kamen Rider Decade’s original powers now granting Tsukasa the ability to henshin into ALL Heisei-Era Kamen Riders; from Kamen Rider Kuuga to Kamen Rider Zi-O!

To properly channel these new abilities, the Neo DecaDriver includes Kamen Ride and Final Attack Ride cards for all Heisei Riders, along with Decade’s original Final Form Ride cards.

The DX Neo DecaDriver is currently scheduled for release in March 2019! The price is a very modest 9180 Yen before shipping and handling.

under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

The upcoming release of the Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer from Denji Sentai Megaranger, better known as Power Rangers In Space for those of us who grew up with the Power Rangers, was originally scheduled to release in December of 2018. Unfortunately, due to what Bandai is calling a “production delay”, the item has been delayed with no current timetable for release.

It should be noted that the previous Super Sentai Artisan releases – specifically the SP License from Dekaranger and before that the Aura Changer from Dairanger – have suffered from quality control issues resulting in entire production run replacements.

The Super Sentai Artisan Degitaizer and Battleraizer had recently had payment requests go out. This is the first time an item this close to release has been delayed.

As the current holiday shopping season ramps up in to top gear, a non-profit children’s safety organization known as W.A.T.C.H. (World Against Toys Causing Harm) has listed their Top 10 Unsafest Toys for the 2018 Holiday Season. Gracing the list this year at Number 4 is none other than Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, specifically the Superstar Blade roleplay item. As W.A.T.C.H. states in their description of the item:

HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR BLUNT FORCE AND EYE INJURIES!

W.A.T.C.H. OUT! Young children are encouraged to “power up” with this “Super Ninja Steel” spring-loaded plastic blade, with the potential to cause facial and other impact injuries.

The roleplay item’s functionality is a spring loaded mechanism that shoots out a few inches. The organization’s fears stem from the fact that the item is a sword (meant to be swung at people) and that the spring loaded feature could inadvertently cause facial injury to the wielder.

TokuNation.com advises parents and collectors alike to use common sense when handling a children’s toy and if you purchase the item for your child to be a parent and explain how to, and how not to, play with it. Check out the full press release by clicking here.

The 20 Rider Kicks banner is been Bandai’s way of celebrating all things Kamen Rider, and where would a Kamen Rider be without a trusty transformation belt?

Revealed in toy catalog scans via J-Hero.com are the 20 Rider Kicks DX Kamen Rider Belt reissues each one slated for release in October. In the first batch of these reissues we have the DX Deca Driver, and W Driver, both appear to be rebrands of the Super Best versions.

In addition to the Lost Driver which will include non-T2 versions of the Skull and Eternal Gaia Memories along with Kamen Rider Gemm’s Buggle Driver and Dangerous Zombie Gashat.

The W and Deca Drivers will both retail for 7500 yen while the Buggle and Lost Drivers will cost 6500 yen a piece, an excellent alternative to those that may have missed out on these Belts the first time around or for new Kamen Rider fans looking to get their first one!

RIDER TIME!

Kamen Rider Zi-O’s first episode just debuted over the weekend. And while the Ziku Driver hasn’t been out for long, people in Japan have already figured out a way to hack the belt and as a result: new sounds have been discovered. The following sounds were found to exist inside the Driver courtesy of Crane Joe:

 

In addition, a diagram posted on Crane Joe’s blog shows which pins need to be pushed in order to activate what noises. Now it’s entirely possible that any one of these could end up becoming new Ride Watches or Riders entirely, but like the Drive Driver, a lot of these could end up not getting used so, for now, do take these with a grain of salt. In the meantime, stay tuned to Tokunation we’ll bring you more updates as they become available. There could be potential spoilers to these leaks, so please click the jump at your own risk.
