Rolling Review: Super Robot Chogokin DaiZyuJin
My second SRC, but 1st to be reviewed on this channel which is Daizyujin from Zyuranger. This figure comes with its signature Sword, Mastodon Shield, and its random Head Beam, only used like twice. Anyways the articulation is pretty good, and has alot of hidden features when discovering how its joints work. I personally love this figure due to the MMPR fandom I have, so it was a must for me. I do hope more "MMPR" Megazords/Mechas are made now!

Toku 101: Kamen Rider/ Super Sentai Worlds
Hello and welcome to another Toku 101 with I, your columnist, Wheelchair21. Today on Toku 101, I'm sort of over booked so I selected very short entertaining specials from the Toku Community. That would the be the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai Worlds were specials where Riders and Senshi came together in their own universes to defeat Other Worldly threats. These specials were 3-D shorts shown in 1994 for amusement parks and special events nation-wide, there was also a third part I won't feature here but it was based on the Metal Heroes franchise. In Kamen Rider World, Zo and J teamed up to defeated the resurrected Shadowmoon and his army of undead Kaijin, while in Super Sentai World five teams of Senshi teamed together to defeat a brand new threat to the planet.
Up First, Super Sentai World:
Well anyways as viewed in that short, the current team Ninja Sentai Kakuranger appear to save two siblings from a new enemy Emperor Daidas. The brother was played Shiro Izumi, who played Yūma Ōzora in Dengeki Sentai Changeman and Burai in Zyuranger. As the Kakurangers are weakened, the other Sentai Teams from the past 4 years come to their resuce allowing them to defeat Emperor Daidas and his army. I personally enjoy this short a lot cause it had give the view a lot to take on the Sentais from the late 80s to early 90s. Along with that we actually get to see the Zyuranger/MMPR Suits team with Kakuranger/Alien suits which was a rare occasion until Gokaiger so several Power Ranger Fan usual applaude this special for that fact. Many like myself who're Ranger fans overly enjoy the Mecha battle as we see the original three Mechas used in Power Rangers Team Up; that Mecha Battle just blew my mind back when I first saw this entire special back in 2006-07. Another thing is by just viewing this as special, and not an actual canon thing you over look all the screw ups like how Gai Yuki/Black Condor is alive or how are the Zyurangers back on Earth if they ascended to Heaven in the finale. So if I had to rate this film as if it was a complete movie, I'd say a solid 4 out of 5!
Now, Kamen Rider World:
It this special/short Shadowmoon returns reviving Sai Mutant(Kamen Rider Black), Cyborg Soldier Lv 2(Shin Prologue), Agito, Garai, and Zu(Kamen Rider J) They attack Berry(Talking Grasshopper from J) and the siblings from the Super Sentai World special linking the universes. Kamen Rider ZO appears first then is soon joined by J to combat Shadowmoon's Kaijin Army, before J is forced to enlarge himself to Kaiju size to combat the monster sized Shadowmoon. Anyways this special features the reprisal of ZO, J, Shadowmoon and Berry as they're all voiced by the original actors along with reuse of footage from the preivous Kamen Rider 3-D special "Run Across the World" to flashback the Kaijins defeat. This special isn't actually too special since, well at the time I first saw this the only thing I cared about for this film was Shadowmoon, Sai Mutant and Cyborg Soldier Lv 2. I personally at the time didn't care for ZO or J too much and felt this special to be quite bland and average for Kamen Riders. The best feature of this special was battle of giants, Shadowmoon vs Kamen Rider J that was practically what made this entire special! Anytime there's titans clashing it always makes a Toku better in my opinion. Anyways my rating for this is sadly a 3.5 out of 5, for the fact the sourced Kamen Riders aren't the best ones to have been possibly used.
Conclusion
Personally the double/triple-billing of the features actually was a great idea; bringing together Sentai, Riders and Metal Heroes into a great 30-minute special. ALong with that I personally don't care for the third piece that I didn't feature for this segment as I've never actually found it subbed or know the series used for the Metal Hero segment. I only personally cared for the first two, as I've always enjoyed Super Sentai and Kamen Rider due to Power Rangers and sadly Saban's Masked Rider. Thou out of these two, 3-D specials I perfer the Super Sentai World over the Kamen Rider World as the sourced characters used in the special I'm more fond of; as the MMPR fan in me leaps for joy everytime DaiZyuJin, Dairen-Oh and Muteki Shogun are seen together. And yes I usually always go for Sentai of Kamen Riders when things head towards late 80s to early 90s since that's the dark days for the Riders, but as of late I've seemed to become a larger fan for Riders and put Sentai on the back burner pending on the collectibles. So for people out there who can't decide on which is better I then have to saw moderate with what you like and want, along enjoy the shows for what they are .... Except Goseiger, Go-Buster and Hibiki cause we know those series are just horrible! Anyways, I'll see you all again on the next Toku 101.

Tamashii Nations Day One Coverage
Earlier this morning Tamashii Nations has shown the new line-up of figures ranging from SHFs to even Monsterarts.
To start off with we finally get a look at Kamen Rider Blade in SHF form. He is one the three Pre-Decade Heisei Riders that hasnt been released in the Figuarts line until now. He looks pretty nice so far and it will be cool to see if Bandai will show the other riders from his series in the next couple of days.
In the next picture we get a look at a whole bunch of Showa related SHFs. We can see Appolo Geist who was a really huge fan wanted figure along with Riderman and Kamen Rider X. Also Stronger fans can finally get a Tackle to go along with their Stronger Figuart. They even decided to show a regular shocker solider so I guess you can army build those as well.
Next we got a confirmation that the rest of the Zodiarts will be released. At this point I wonder how Bandai will decide to release these since most of the ones released so far were exclusive so possibly some of these newer ones will be a regular release.
In the following image we get a look at the rest of the riders from Kamen Rider Faiz along with the Horse and Wolf Orphenochs. I am glad to see that they made a Wolf Orphenoch because I really liked his design and it will be cool to display him next to Faiz. Something tells me he is going to be exclusive but at this point I can't even tell how much shown will even be released to begin with.
To go along with the announcement of Space Sheriff Gavan, Metal Heroes fans can will be pleased to see that Bandai has decided to make Shaider and Sharivan as well. Seeing as Toei is trying to revive Metal Heroes these SHFs are nice to help promote the franchise and a nice addition to the fans collections.
The next image reveals that the rest of the Ryuki Riders will be released in the SHF line. For this series its hard to tell how they will release them because of the whole contract monster thing getting in the way. Most Kamen Riders dont have a specific partner of some sorts so being a series that mostly revolved around them makes it difficult to release them.
Moving along we also can also see that Bandai is once again catering to Power Rangers fans with the reveal of the MMPR Green Ranger or Dragon Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. It looks as though the Dragon Shield is indeed removable so if it is we can make MMPR Red to wear it. At this point its pretty much inevitable that the other rangers will be released as well so we finally get a definitive figure team of the original Power Rangers.
For those who Superhuman Samurai fans you should be glad that Zenon has also been announced to go alongside Servo so the only one that needs to be released is Drago.
Finally we also find out the other "she" that Bluefin was referring to and it was none other then SH Monsterarts Biollante. The massive female Kaiju is sure to be the most expensive and the biggest figure yet in the line. So this has been a look at day one at Tamashii Nations so stay tuned for the next couple of days for new announcements. Source: TokuAnimeNews via Tokunation
