Emergency, Dekaranger!

With Tamashii Nations 2016 this upcoming weekend we hope to see many reveals, both expected and unexpected. Those reveals used to include Super Sentai figuarts but sadly that line has been shelved, for now. But it gives us pause to go back and on occasion reexamine some of our favorite releases as well. So today we’re featuring a brand new Gallery 2.0 Re-do with S.H. Figuarts Deka Red!

Dekaranger has always been one of my personal favorite Sentai. So seeing the characters done in figuarts styling was like a dream come true. Sadly not a fully realized dream, but the releases we did get are still fantastic and that’s what encouraged me to finally do this reshoot of Deka Red. The Dekaranger body type has an impressive range that still holds up to new figures. But the accessory count here is perhaps the best thing about this figure. SP License, both Magnums, multiple hands, even the ludicrous power of the Akibrangers the Dekawoppa!? These were the glory days.

We’ve attached a selection to this post but you can enjoy the complete 80 image Gallery 2.0 of S.H. Figuarts Deka Red after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

The biggest Tamashii event of the year, Tamashii Nations 2016 is happening this weekend from 10/28-10/30. As is always the case we can expect quite a number of new reveals, and perhaps a good number of those reveals to never see the light of day again.

However, according to the event site, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be fully revealed during what’s being dubbed the “Tamashii Hour” by the event staff. A very small and brief teaser can be found for this figuart on the site itself.

This exciting development is likely not the only one to come out of this weekend. As more information and photos from the event begin to circulate we’ll keep you up to date every step of the way!

under Ultraman

Hot off the heels of the Figureoh magazine reveal just a few days prior and ahead of the Tamashii Pick Up, Bandai’s  just released the first batch of official stock photography for the upcoming release of S.H.Figuarts Ultra Seven!

While these new stock images give no insight on any additional accessories, they do showcase several optional hands that the figure will be included with in addition to giving us a much clearer look at the figure in question.

S.H.Figuarts Ultra Seven will be released March 2017 retailing for 5500 yen.

And we’re back! After a brief hiatus as well as our special all-star 500th gallery celebration, we’re back to regularly scheduled programming. And the first gallery to kick off the next generation of TokuNation reviews is S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form!

S.S. Kuuga Ultimate was a recent web exclusive release that finally forced us to reexamine and trade up from the ancient original Ultimate release. Seihou Kuuga Ultimate is perhaps one of the most powerful looking figuarts, straight out of the box, I’ve ever seen. You can practically feel it in the sculpt. This is an excellently designed and executed figure that belongs in any collection. But Kuuga fans in particular will be able to feels Godai’s essence oozing from this figure. It’s a must own.

In the full gallery linked below you can enjoy over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this article, and enjoy! We’ll be back in a few days with another Gallery 2.0 re-do with another classic release, S.H. Figuarts Deka Red!

It’s been a long time coming but we’re finally here! After nearly 5 years as a community, TokuNation has hit a huge milestone. You’ve enjoyed our articles, our convention coverage, our on again off again podcasts, our thinkpieces, episode reviews, comic reviews, and everything in between. But you’ve also enjoyed something we’ve been striving to make better and better from the day we opened our doors – our Galleries!

For nearly 5 years now the Photo & Content staff here at TokuNation have been bringing you in hand image galleries of your favorite old and new collectibles. Plumbing the depths of Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Power Rangers, Godzilla, Ultraman, Garo, Mystic Knights, Pacific Rim, Beetleborgs, and anything else we can! From day one we wanted to give you a great experience. Looking back at our first efforts now, it’s clear we had a long way to go before becoming your #1 source for photos and content. But we were committed to bringing content in any form we were able to. And that’s what’s brought us to today.

Now after 5 years of hard work, we can treat you to something a little different from our usual galleries. For our landmark 500th Gallery we have assembled an array of incredible action shots, dynamic poses, fight scenes, and just plain fun photos. There’s no theme to this gallery, no specific figure featured, not even 1 particular franchise. This gallery runs the gamut of fun and interesting figures we had on hand and wanted to play with! We just wanted to have fun with this one, and in turn let you have a good time as well.

Shots were contributed to this gallery by myself and Den-O. As the years have gone on, he and I have become a tandem, a duo if you will, who push each other to be better with each shot. And we’re poised now to bring you even better quality pictures than you’ve seen before!

So this 500th gallery is about more than just celebrating the number. It’s about celebrating the fun community we’ve built in the last 5 years. The progres we’ve made as photographers. And the progress our collections have made as our focus has shifted and changed over time. We plan to continue bringing you new and exciting galleries of vintage & modern figures forever. But for now, please enjoy this montage of shots we really just had fun with. We’ll see you again in another 500!
