RIDER TIME
This past weekend marked the final episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O but Toei isn’t done with the King of Time quite yet! Announced earlier last week ahead of the last episode was a V-Cinema movie titled Kamen Rider Zi-O: Next Time Geiz Majesty which appears to take place following the end of the series.
A trailer for the V-Cinema’s since been released, and the trailer revealed that Geiz will be acquiring a new Ride Watch. At the moment, we don’t know how Bandai intends to release the DX Geiz Majesty Ride Watch but we can assume that it will no doubt be a P-Bandai release.
Do note that the trailer does contain spoilers for the final episode of Kamen Rider Zi-O. So if you aren’t caught up yet, hit the link at your own risk!

“Unleash the beast!”
Thanks to Twitter user @Martian_Ranger new press images are now circulating for 3 new Power Rangers Beast Morphers 6″ Basic figures!
– 6″ Basic Silver Ranger
– 6″ Basic Red Ranger (Red Fury Mode)
– 6″ Basic Drilltron
This figure for Red Fury Mode provides our first official look at the power up for this season’s Red Ranger. We saw some filming images of this power up a few months back, but had no confirmation of it’s name or anything else about it before now. though it definitely takes inspiration from Red Buster’s Power Custom mode, this is an entirely new design. Likewise this is our first look at any figure for the Silver Ranger in this series’ toyline. Rounding out the trio is another really fantastic looking villain figure, Drilltron!
On top of this new, Martian Ranger has also discovered press photos for the upcoming Electronic Beast-X Ultrazord as well as the roleplay weapon for the Red Ranger’s Red Fury Mode, the Electronic Cheetah Claw!
Pricing and release windows for these new additions have not been made public as of yet, but we’ll keep you informed when they do.
“Unleash the beast!”
Since it was officially announced back in February 2018 that Hasbro (the massive toy company behind Transformers, Star Wars, Marvel, and much more) was picking up the Power Rangers master license from Saban Brands & Bandai America, fans wondered what the future of the brand would look like. But shortly after that initial announcement, Hasbro let the world know what the Power Rangers series was headed for with Power Rangers Beast Morphers! In recent months the show has begun airing, and in fact just went on hiatus with this weekend’s introduction of the Gold Ranger! With a fresh new take on the TV show thriving, it’s good to know that the toyline is as well!
With Hasbro taking over the master license for the brand, the toyline has completely changed. While still based in practice on the designs crafted for it’s Super Sentai equivalent, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, without Bandai America involved this line has been rethought from the ground up. In light of this seismic shift in the way the Power Rangers toyline is designed and approached now, Hasbro has also decided to reach out to numerous fan sites, toy reviewers, and other prolific members of the Power Rangers fan community to foster some good will towards the new line. To that point, I & and the entire TokuNation team are proud to be included among these individuals. Hasbro has generously provided a product review mailer for us to sample the entire initial wave of Beast Morphers toys! This product mailer was 100% free and shipped to us at no cost whatsoever, it is truly a gift from Hasbro. One we incredibly and deeply appreciate.
TokuNation has been around for going on 8 years now and I’ve been doing toy reviews/galleries for this site for nearly that entire time. To say I and we are honored, would be an understatement. A toy company has never personally reached out to me before in order to review their products. So I accept this rather graciously. While I’ll be reviewing every item in this product mailer individually in the coming weeks, I wanted to take today to simply break down the contents of this generous gift on the whole, and present the wonderful packaging it was sent in. Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” for a full gallery and breakdown of the Beast Morphers Product Mailer”. You can expect our first gallery of figure’s contained within it, early next week!
Standing By
This is no April Fools day joke! P-Bandai was recently updated with a teaser for the next Complete Selection Modification release. As you might’ve guessed from the title: it’s the Complete Selection Modification Delta Gear, to round out the trio of Riders from the original Kamen Rider 555 TV show.
No release info was disclosed at the time of this writing, but do check back with us and we’ll be sure to update you as we get more info.
FUTURE TIME!
New information regarding the future of Kamen Rider Zi-O toys has surfaced. A post from Cranejoe himself suggests that Zi-O and Woz could be due for future upgrades and additional powers.
The post from Crane Joe suggests that we’ll be getting two new Ride Watches in the future: The DX Woz Ginga Miraide Watch and the DX Grand Zi-O Ride Watch. The former will be released in June, and the latter in May both retailing for 3,200 yen.
Keep in mind that the scans themselves have yet to drop, but CraneJoe has been accurate in the past so we have reason to believe that this listing could be true. Still, until the official toy catalog gets scanned so do take this posting with a grain of salt.
