under Super Sentai

Credit to user KRX for pointing us to this. AlphaHeroShock has just posted up the character list for the upcoming V-Cinema Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters Vs. Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters!

Hiromu Sakurada / Red Cheetah – Katsuhiro Suzuki
Ryuji Iwasaki / Blue Gorilla – Ryoma Baba
Yoko Usami / Yellow Rabbit – Arisa Komiya
Masato Jin / Gold Beetle – Hiroya Matsumoto
Takeshi Kuroki / Black Puma – Hideo Sakaki
Rika Sakurada / Pink Cat – Risa Yoshiki
Atsushi Domyoji / Green Hippopotamus – Tatsuhisa Suzuki
Kami-sama (Enter) – Syo Jinnai
Kikai Nyotei Transistor (Escape)- Ayame Mizaki

This information comes from the current issue of Hyper Hobby Magazine. Sadly and rather oddly this list excludes fan favorite character Beet J Stag! What could this mean? Is J missing after the finale of the Go-Busters TV Series? The Dobutsu (or animal) Go-Busters are supposed to be an alternate version of the team that our normal Busters will face off against. Perhaps they come from an alternate world that has no Beet J Stag?

Go-Busters Vs. Go-Busters will be released on DVD June 21st and retails for 6300 yen! It’s time for final buster!

As fans go forward with collecting, there is a progressive amount of stuff found to collect. Perhaps you wanted to go beyond mass produced toys, and wanted to buy prototypes? Luckily for us, in this day and age, prototypes/testshots and what have you, are usually readily available for auction on the internet. While some may refrain from buying these, these auctions at least give us images of toys before production. Sometimes these toys change by final production, sometimes they just aren’t produced at all due to cancellation. With that said, sometimes online auctions are our only glimpses at “what could have been”.

So on this rainy day lets take a look at some select Power Rangers prototypes on ebay:

As alluded to before, maybe you don’t want to buy these, but just want to see how these toys were before final production? If that’s the case, we’ve mirrored the images from the aforementioned auctions. Note: most of the links are to private auctions. Sellers include gmlenterprises, lawijki & mj_var.

The first official promo has been released for the forthcoming second season of the Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger! While the video was only viewable on the official website in Japan only, it has since been hosted over at popular Japanese video site Niconico.
