Complete Style Gigantic

A new spin-off brand of the Complete Selection Modification (CSM) toy line has been soft-announced.  Introducing Complete Style Gigantic (CSG).  There is no information beyond the graphic teaser at this time but the graphic itself states more details to come in Japan on June 16th (or June 15th in North and South America).

There is a lot of speculation on what could come out with this line but it will likely include iconic items and/or weapons of your favorite Kamen Riders but in a close to 1:1 scale versus the smaller sized DX items released in the main toy lines.

We’ll follow up with more information as it is available.

In a shocking twist that no one saw coming, an unannounced Power Rangers Lightning Collection figure has been discovered.  Malaysian retailer MyToy shared on their Facebook page their latest acquisition of brand new Power Rangers Lightning Collection Metallic Mighty Morphin White Ranger, the final addition to the Metallic collection.

This Tommy comes with a brand new head sculpt and the fully formed Zeo Crystal.  Unlike the other Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures to receive the Metallic treatment, there does NOT appear to be a new helmet sculpt.

When will this figure be released?  When will this figure be announced?  Roll the dice because no one truly knows.
