Ride into action with the latest S.H.Figuarts Bike release from Bandai: The S.H.Figuarts Machine Winger! 

Once again, toy reviewer Shishioh brings us our extensive photo coverage of this figure.

While the Machine Winger might not have any unique accessories of it’s own other then a kick stand and replaceable mirrors and handle bars, this set does add a pair of new hands for S.H.Figuarts Wizard Flame Style and an alternate coat tail piece to mimic his coat flapping in the wind(effect parts sold separately)

It’s that time of year again folks! As we approach the premiere of the summer Kamen Rider film we also get more info about the accompanying summer Sentai film. Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger Gaburincho of Music is slated to be, of course, a musical and will feature a new Zyudenryu #00 Tobaspino. We’ll also see Tobaspinos’ partner Kyoryuger which for now we’re using the place holder of Kyoryunavy. Casting rumors have just popped up for the film, all of them have tokusatsu experience and practically all of them are rumored to be this Kyoryunavy!

-Misaki Momose (The Ancient Dogoo Girls)
-Shizuka Nakamura (Tomica Hero Rescue Fire)
-Minami Tsukui (Kamen Rider W)
–Shigeru Chiba (VA for Gaburevolvers, Narrator for Kyoryuger)

The most interesting bit is that Shigeru Chiba has been quoted about filming a henshin sequence. It’s unclear whether this might be in reference to Kyoryunavy, or for a possible upcoming appearance on Akibaranger.

Let’s Watch Wednesdays returns for another round of training with Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger! Last week we left off with Miki and Saidaioh kicking ass and taking names! This week we pick up with startling revelations.

The silently mighty Suguu has become the topic of interest as it appears that this powerful GenJyuken user has deep ties to GekiJyuken. The always entertaining and awesome Kenji Ohba makes an appearance as well playing Dan, a gifted GekiJyuken user that Rio strove to surpass, Miki and Gou called friend, and Jan will learn to call something else. And Rio evolves into the Genjyuoh that Long desires. The secrets that come to light will affect both sides in this conflict, and nothing will be the same.

As always be sure to post your thoughts in our weekly discussion thread posted HERE because it will automatically enter you into our DVD Giveaway!

So Let’s Watch Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger 40-42!

As with most of our on going Super Mega Force[/B] rumors, take this news posting with a grain of salt. None the less, the Super Megaforce Logo has been found on Rangercrew posted by Rangercrew member Mezodon on a promotional image featuring GokaiRed, GokaiBlue, and GokaiGreen though sadly leaving out Gokai Pink and Yellow.

Hot on the heels of Grey’s reveal, the first suggested teaser images of the next Kyoryuger have turned up!

The 9th Brave Warrior is apparently “Kyoryu Violet,” partnered with Zyudenryu #9 Pleson due for release later this summer.

And don’t forget the previously revealed partner for #00 Tobaspino from the Kyoryuger Summer Musical. We’re tentatively calling him Kyoryunavy based on his dark blue color scheme.

The addition of these 2 will raise the ranger count to 10! But don’t forget that based on the formula the series has used thus far, we can still expect at least one more Kyoryuger to be partnered with the mighty Bragigas!
