The latest round of FigureOh Magazine scans has at last shown off the newest Kamen Rider!
Beast has been solicited for a June release at a cost of 3675 Yen and comes with his trademark Dice Saber & two bottles of mayonnaise. Unfortunately the animal mantles will be sold separately- via a Tamashii add on pack for an additional 2640 Yen later in the year.
Thanks to member NGW for noticing!
Bandai Tamashii Nations has revealed several SH Figuarts Wizard Dragon Styles! In full detail, we see Water Dragon with his Drago Tail accessory, Water Dragon’s signature part of the WizarDragon. Also seen is the first images of Hurricane Dragon (promo picture seen here) and Land Dragon, alongside more pictures of Medusa Phantom!
Each is priced at 3675 Yen, Water Dragon and Medusa Phantom are scheduled for a July Release, while Hurricane Dragon and Land Dragon are scheduled for an August Release.
Thanks yet again to user DrillBit for pointing us in the right direction for this info. It has been revealed, via the Akiabranger Official Website who the confirmed cast members are for Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2!
Masato Wada as Nobuo Akagi Akiba Red
Karin Ogin as Moegi Yumeria/Yuko Yokoyama Akiba Yellow
Shione Sawada as Mitsuki Iwashimizu Akiba Blue
Honoka as Malsheena
Maya Uchida as Hiroyo Hakase
Kozue Aikawa as Kozkoz
Ryo Horikawa as new villain General Tsu. Fans of Horikawa will recognize him as the voice of none other than Dragon Ball Z’s Vegeta!
Sadly this news confirms what has long been suspected. Akiba Blues’ original actress, Kyoko Hinami, will not be returning. She recently changed acting agencies in between the 2 seasons of Akibaranger and as a result can no longer work on the show. Her inability to return will most likely be written into the story as Hate Saburo messing with the Akibarangers universe once again.
The alterations to the Akiba Blue costume probably stem from the characters departure and the new persona that Yellow has taken on (Yuko) could explain the buns where her pigtails used to be. We’re still waiting for more info on the Akiba Red Z-Cune Power Up Armor as well.

And thanks to the Tamashii Nations twitter account we’ve also got some info regarding Taros’ upcoming release which will be this June. Taro is priced at 3500 yen.
Ultraman Taro was the 6th entry in the Ultra franchise and ran from 1973-1974. Once Taro is out he’ll be joining his soon to be released father, Ultra-Act Ultra Father! And of course just like Father, Taro will include his trademark Storium Ray effect part, Taro bracelet/lance, and a Brothers Mantle along with the usual supply of alternate hands!

About a month ago Tokunation.com brought you the rumors of 10 Zyudenryu mecha that would appear in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. Today we bring you a new set of rumors about the rangers that may have been partnered with those other mecha!
According to information posted at AlphaHeroShock when Zyudenryu 06, Ankyodon, appears the spirit of his Kyoryuger will appear and grant the modern Kyoryugers his power! Ankyodons’ partner ranger is said to have been chosen 500 years ago. Named Ramirez he was the Brave of Steel, KyoryuCyan!
This would also lead us to believe that for each new mecha the Kyoryugers acquire that the spirit of a fallen hero will greet them! We know for a fact that Torin created 10 Zyudenryu when the Debos invaded Earth in ancient times. There have been unconfirmed reports of up to 23 Zyudenryu appearing! Will we get a hero for each of them?
