under Garo

A new Garo series is upon us, and the merchandise was of course not far behind this fan-favorite toku franchise!

Preorders originally opened on April 5 on Tamashii Webshop for the latest entry in the Makai Kado toyline, Garo Ryuga Ver. This stunning figure stands nearly eight inches tall and shows off the tarnished black Makai Knight armor as worn by Dogai Ryuga well. Garo Ryuga Version also includes a sweeping three-piece cape and his signature Horror-slaying blade Garoken.

Ryuga’s Garo figure will cost 6090 yen and ship in September.

The side-scrolling, action-packed video game will be based on the popular Nickelodeon television series of the same title allowing fans to play as the Power Rangers Megaforce and defend Earth against the evil Warstar aliens.

In this new chapter of the popular Power Rangers video game series, fans play as their favorite Megaforce Ranger while the supporting Power Rangers provide their boundless advice and encouragement to players as they battle their way through challenge after challenge.

While previous scans for the fourth coming Super Hero Taisen Z confirmed the appearance of past Metal Heroes via Gokai Change, a new update has confirmed that sadly, the keys will only be used in a Gokai Galleon Buster attack, much like the appearance of the Kamen Rider OOO forms in last year’s Super Hero Taisen.

And while the Gokaigers are returning for this installment of Super Hero Taisen, it’s sadly been confirmed that it’ll only be in voice only, with Ryota Ozawa reprising his role as Captain Marvelous. Ayumi Kinoshinta(AKA:Jasime/DekaYellow) and Kohki Okada will also reprise their roles as Skydain and Groundain respectively.

Lastly, Toei’s official site for the film has also been updated giving a brief history of the Metal Hero franchise.
