Thanks to some fresh scans floating around from this month’s Figure Oh we have release information on a selection of new S.H. Figuarts, but more on that in a minute. In the mean time this issue has just confirmed official release information for Soul of Chogokin GX-85 King Brachion! This figure was just revealed to be in the works at this weekend’s Power Morphicon 2018 under it’s western release as Soul of Chogokin Titanus.

Figure Oh confirms that King Brachion is headed for a February 2019 release at 29,160 yen. Which seems to be a bit under most people’s expectations on price. Brachion also appears to be a general retail release, likely because of it’s western distribution as Titanus. With these confirmations we can expect official images of the figure to be released in the new future. When they are, we’ll be sure to update our ongoing discussion thread.

Just revealed only hours ago to the general public, we have brand new up close and clear images of Soul Of Chogokin Titanus AKA King Brachion!

Whether you’re a fan of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, this massive mighty carrier will make a fine addition to your collection. While currently we still have no idea what the release window and price are looking for at this time, we can see that this will be an impressive companion to your SOC Megazord (Daizyujin) & SOC Dragonzord (Dragon Caesar).

We’ll keep you up to date as more new information becomes available. Be sure to follow us here and on our social media on twitter @TokuNation or check in with our man on the ground at Power Morphicon 2018, @TokuChris!

With Power Morphicon 2018 now underway, we have our first major reveal courtesy of Bandai Japan and the good people at Toku ToyStore!

At long last we have the third Soul Of Chogokin release for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers– none other than Titanus the CarrierZord! Also known as King Brachion for fans of Kyoryu Sentai ZyuRanger.

The long-necked Carrier is recreated in exquisite diecast detail- and based on previous releases should be fully compatible with the previously released DaiZyuJin and Dragon Ceaser Soul of Chogokin entries.

Sadly, price & release details for Titanus have not been revealed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Morphicon reveals!

Release date has not been announced at this time, but the GX-76B Soul of Chogokin Black Daizyujin will officially be available as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Retail price is 32,400 yen. This release will likely feature some slightly altered packaging though we don’t know what it looks like at this time.

MEGAZORD SEQUENCE HAS BEEN INITIATED

In case you missed it one of Tamashii Nation’s exclusive offerings for this year’s SDCC will be the SDCC SOC GX-76 Black Megazord repaint. SDCC is right around the corner, and many collectors have wondered what this Megazord variant will look like in either of it’s combined modes with the Dragonzord, well wonder no more. New photos have surfaced online showcasing what this figure will look like in the combined Mega Dragonzord and Dragonzord Battle Modes.

The SDCC SOC GX-76 Black Megazord will be available exclusively at Bluefin Brands booth during San Diego Comic Con 2018. Be sure to check back with us, and we’ll bring you all the exciting news from that event as it happens.

The newest event on Tamahii Nations toy show circuit, Tamashii Comic-Con, is currently happening this weekend. While the show seems primarily geared towards some more mainstream non-toku properties like Stars Wars, Marvel, DC, and even the newly announced Harry Potter license, there are going to be a handful of new and upcoming releases relevant to us as well.

First up, Bandai Tamashii Nations has on display the 2nd release in their Pacific Rim Soul of Chogokin line, Crimson Typhoon! You may recall, we saw this figure first back at Toy Fair 2018. This is our first solid look at it since then, and it looks absolutely incredible. These new images come courtesy of Amiami Hobby News, and while the placard seen in them doesn’t confirm any release information, we can only assume that such info will drop in the near future.

We’ll keep you up to date with any other new reveals or upcoming releases that are at Tamashii Comic-Con through out the weekend.

Surprise! No, this isn’t the recently teased SOC GX-81 release Tamashii Nations has been talking about on Twitter. This year’s con exclusive release is indeed a a Black repaint of the SOC GX-76 Megazord/Daizyujin

Taking a current from Transformers repaints of the same variety, rather than use the usual gold accents we see with Black Megazord & Daizyujin repaints, this one opts for teal accents. Nemesis Megazord am I right?

This release will be exclusively available at San Diego Comic Con 2018, at the Bluefin Brands booth.

The Power Rangers continues its 25th anniversary celebration at this year’s annual San Diego Comic Con event. Bluefin Tamashii Nations – known for their stateside release of S.H. Figuarts and most recently the Soul of Chogokin Megazord – have teased their exclusive for this year. A simple image of the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord standing in front of the Dinozords from Soul of Chogokin Megazord.

The Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord is set to release this August and will combine with the Soul of Chogokin Megazord. The Soul of Chogokin line is akin to a “masterpiece style” release of robotic nature items featuring accurate-to-source-material detail with diecast parts and increased articulation. If the Legacy Dragonzord impressed you, the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord will blow you away.

We have no details as of yet to what this release will detail. Stay tuned for more details and information as it comes available.

“Appear Daizyujin!”

We know this one’s been out for a while, but when you’re dealing with something this incredible, it takes a bit of time to do the job right. So we’ve taken our time and shot an in depth gallery of nearly 200 images, with a full length 7 part review of this fantastic release. It’s well past time we share with you our in depth look at the Soul of Chogokin SOC GX-76 Daizyujin! Of course for the western collectors out there this is none other than the MMPR Megazord!

Daizyujin is that most iconic of Sentai mecha to those of us in the west. It’s gone through various toylines, updates, and revisions over the years, and finally Tamashii Nations has tackled it with an entry in their long line of SOC’s. This figure sat out to recreate the iconic designs of the 5 Guardian Beasts and their two combined forms using modern engineering. The results are near flawless. We have a die-cast laden, poseable, proportionate, and imposing figure to add to our collections. Special note, our review piece today (provided by the infinitely generous TokuChris) features the western Bluefin distribution exclusive packaging. Consisting of new MMPR themed box art.

We’ve attached the MASSIVE 195 image gallery of SOC Daizyujin to this post. But you can also read our lengthy review of this set by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. This gallery & review were a labor of love for me. And if you’re a fan of Zyuranger or MMPR, I hope it does the job of making you want this set.
