Thanks to the latest round of magazine scans now online we have a quick look at some future Super Imaginative Chogokin releases!

We now have some concept art for SIC designs based on the tokusatsu hero Kikaider and his enemy, the evil Hakaider! Sadly, no details relating to price or release dates are available at this time.

In addition we have a closer look at SIC Kamen Rider Birth and his backup Rider, Proto-Birth. Previous teaser images suggested that Birth’s release would merely be a ZERO-type (meaning no articulation) but this recent image shows Birth’s armor & weapons- which may imply a fully functional release.

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on these exciting new releases!

Just over 1 month ago TokuNation began the countdown to today, January 5th 2014, which marks our official 3 year anniversary!

Over the course of December & the first week of January we posted over 20 image galleries of various toys running the entire spectrum of tokusatsu. The goal? To give our users the chance to discuss these incredible toys. The result of these discussions? Every time a post was made in these threads, the users making them automatically had their names put into a random drawing for 1 of 4 MASSIVE Prize Packs for our annual Toku Toy Box Giveaway!

With 21 galleries, 66,000 page views, over 1700 posts, and a slew of new users joining the fray, we’re at long last ready to reveal the 4 winners of our prize packs! Check out the video below to see who the lucky winners are!

CONGRATULATIONS to our 4 winners and thanks once again for another incredibly successful year here at TokuNation.com! We can’t wait to do this again!

This is a HUGE announcement. Bandai of Japan and Tamashii Nations have just revealed their joint Tamashii Web Shop venture for western markets! A brand new website which will offer Web Exclusive figures and products to English speaking western markets!

We got an inside scoop about this piece of news on the ground at New York Comic-Con earlier this month. Sadly that news was not public at the time so we had to keep a tight lid on things. But today this new Tamashii Web Shop has not only been revealed to the world, but is in fact already active! Though only 1 item is currently up for pre-order you can be sure that more items will begin to be listed in the coming days and weeks.

This is a huge step forward for western fans importing figures from Japan. Though this new web shop is so far only limited to those residing in the US & Canada it’s a pretty significant step in the collector toy market. Time will tell how far this goes.
