Alongside preorders for March’s Tamashii web exclusive Figuarts, Bandai have also updated the Tamashii webstore with that month’s SIC releases. These are both of the Kamen Rider OOO variety, being the GataKiriBa combo and an additional effects set!

Among the parts included in the effects set are a purple eye TaToBa head, medal holder and Ankh arm…complete with popsicle accessory!

Both are Tamashii web exclusives and due for release in March. GataKiriBa is priced 6300 yen, while the OOO effects set is priced 3360 yen. Check out the full image galleries after the jump!

Hot on the hells of the initial reveal of the SH Figuarts Kamen Rider Ryuga (from Kamen Rider Ryuki) and the Sachiku/Corporate Drone (from Akibaranger), Bandai’s Tamashii webstore has begun taking pre orders for the two items, along with full image galleries.

Both figures will include character-specific Tamashii stages and alternate hand parts, while Ryuga will also include his contract monster Dragblacker.

Both are Tamashii web exclusives due for release in March 2013. Ryuga is priced at 4200 yen, while the Corporate Drone is priced 3360 yen. Check out both image galleries after the jump!

under Power Rangers

Anyone browsing for Power Rangers Samurai figures on ToysRus.com were pleasantly surprised today when a closer look at the Power Rangers Samurai Ranger Team Pack revealed a high-resolution look at the upcoming Power Rangers Megaforce figures.

Click here to check out the listing.

In all likelihood this is a simple mistake from Bandai of America and ToysRus, as toy companies often make “mock-up” packaging of future toys in current toy packaging to sell the item to retailers as exclusives. Nevertheless, check out the image and revel in all that is Power Rangers Megaforce.
