At the last Tamashii Nations event last year, we first caught wind of an S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Vakyire Rushing Cheetah action figure was going to be released. Fast forward to today, and a new magazine scan’s surfaced, highlighting this much-anticipated release once again.
While no release date or pricing info was given, we can confirm that S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Valkyrie will be coming out as a Tamashii Webshop online-only exclusive and whether our friends at Team Rider and Bluefin Brands will be bringing this over for collectors outside of Japan remains to be seen.
Naturally, we’ll be sure to provide you with additional info once pre-orders begin, so be sure to check back with us for any future updates.
It’s still comin’ up OOO as Kamen Rider OOO Latoratah Combo has been revealed as the next S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou release. Following on from Gatakiriba, the lion/tiger/cheetah fusion form will be a Tamashii Web exclusive – releasing in June at a price of 6500 yen.
The magazine reveal shows off the figure’s combo change ability with the previously released OOO figures, however it also reveals another surprise – the purple-eyed Tatoba Combo head that appeared when Doctor Maki transfers one the purple Core Medals into Eiji’s body. On the original OOO Figuarts, this head was previously included with the Eiji Greeed figure.

“Actually. I’m Ultraman.”
In a world where the giant of light Ultraman, left Earth years ago, the SSSP has found a new way to defend their world. Relying on individuals who possess the Ultraman Factor, and equipping them with suits of armor, the heroes of Earth fight back Kaiju! But in the case of Dan Moroboshi, he has no Ultraman Factor. Lucky for him, SSSP has developed a next generation Ultraman suit specifically for those who don’t possess these abilities. The Ultraman Suit Ver. 7 not bestows non-powered individuals with the ability to fight Kaiju, but it can be upgraded after repeated combat. Evolving and adapting to any situation, the Seven Suit is a force to be reckoned with!
The Ultraman Suit Ver 7 is a gorgeous entry in Tamashii Nations Ultraman line of S.H. Figuarts. Recreating the Seven Suit as it appears in the Netflix ULTRAMAN anime, this figure implements some dynamic and interesting new choices for articulation we don’t often see. That being said, it makes for a figure with tons of expressive personality. Armed with his Throwing Knife & Specium Sword and a sweeping fiery effect part for it, Dan Moroboshi is ready to defend the Earth!
Check out our full 60+ image gallery of the Seven Suit after the jump! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see the full gallery & review. Next time we visit a hero of the Showa era with Ultraman Taro!
“Ultralive!”
The Dark Spark War. The forces of good and evil battling across infinite dimensions. The bleak future where Ultraman Ginga battled his evil half, Dark Lugiel. Ended in a draw, every Ultraman, Woman, Alien, & Monster across reality was reduced to lifeless Spark Dolls. Scattering among the stars, some, fell to Earth. There, Hikaru Raido has returned to his hometown to sort through visions of the future. But before he can find the answers, Hikaru meets Ultraman Taro! Retaining his sentience as a Spark Doll, Taro uses his experience to guide the young Hikaru along his new journey as he discovers the secrets of the Dark Spark War, and protects the Earth as Ultraman Ginga!
S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga is a milestone to me. I remember reviewing the old Ultra-Act release back in 2014 and thinking it was pretty great. It goes without saying that the Figuart, improves on that release in every conceivable way. With a defined sculpt, lavish details, and astounding articulation improvements, Ultraman Gina can pose with the best of them. And he looks incredibly stylish while doing so! Including multiple sets of hands and a color timer, Ginga also carries his powerful Ginga Spark Lance and comes with a effect part to recreate the Ginga Cross Shoot!
We’ve put together over 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga for your viewing pleasure. You can see the entire gallery and read through our extensive review after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the Tokunation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Coming up soon, we’re doing two more back to back Ultra galleries! S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Taro & Ultraman Suit Ver. 7!
