This Saturday April 6th will see the return of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger for our viewing pleasure! To prepare us for this some new magazine scans are making the rounds featuring the various characters of the new season including Malsheena in her new powered up form, new villian General Two, and of coursethe Akibarangers themselves and their new looks!

We also have looks at the toy merchandise that will be released under the Akibaranger banner. New S.H.Figuarts for each of the Akibarangers & Delu-Knight included. And just as suspected the Japanese releases of S.H.Figuarts Tyranno Ranger and S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ranger will indeed be tied to Akibaranger! Let speculation run wild but this more than likely means we’ll be seeing some more Akibaranger themed accessories with these characters like Red Hawk and others from Season 1!

Alpha Hero Shock just posted a supposed release date info for S.H.Figuarts AkaRanger and Bouken Silver, the two prototypes were initially seen during Tamashi Nations.

However, with April Fools Day looming over the horizon take this news with a grain of salt. None the less here’s the release info:

S.H.Figuarts AkaRanger will be released in September 2013 retailing for 2800 yen

While the price is unknown for S.H.Figuarts Bouken Silver, he’ll see a November 2013 release.

It’s official guys, the special Hurricanger 10th Anniversary project revealed just a few days ago was not an elaborate April Fool’s Day joke by Toei but indeed a reality.

The cast of Hurricanger recorded another video to officially announce the Project as Ninpu Sentai Hurricanger 10 Years After the video can be seen below:

Earlier this year, we posted a picture featuring Gavan Type-G standing amongst his fellow Metal Heroes- Janperson, Jiraiya, Jiban, SyncRedder, B-Fighter’s Blue Beet and Kabuto. Well, new scans shown reveal that they may not be the actual Metal Heroes after all…but the Gokaigers transformed into them using the Metal Hero Ranger Keys!

Does this mean we may get another Movie Ranger Key release like the OOO Key Set during the run of Super Hero Taisen last year? Only time will tell!

Yesterday DecaEnd of HJU reported on the appearance of a Tsuburaya character in Toeis’ upcoming Super Hero Taisen Z Net Movies. Tsuburaya being the parent company of the Ultraman Franchise it’s safe to say we’ll see at least one Ultra appear.

When Orends Range reported this news it was pointed out by a user there (Shogeco) that if you look closely at the SHTZ Net Movies Site there’s a small copyright on the page for Marvel Comics! Could this mean the return of the 70’s Japanese toku hero Spider-Man? Time will tell!

A new set of magazine scans made the rounds a few days back featuring the Combination of Kyoryuzin & Wizardragon in Super hero Taisen Z. Today an additional scan from the same magazine has revealed another new one off special combo, this time featuring the mecha of Space Sheriff’s Gavan, Sharivan, and Shaider!

Revealed today this combination utilizes Sharivans’ robot Grandbirth, holding Shaiders’ Vavilos robot in gun mode, while Gavans’ Dol Dragon rides on top of it breathing fire! This special final combo of the 3 most iconic Metal Heroes mecha will execute the Big Grand Fire attack presumably in the finale of the film in space while the the Kyoryugers and Wizard exectue the Brave Strike End back on Earth.

Kamen Rider OOO’s DX Roleplay toys are now out in Korea and we have some videos and photos demonstrating the gimmicks.

While the toys function exactly like the Japanese release, the sounds have been changed to better match the Korean dub of the show, much like past roleplay toys from the last couple of years.
