Apparently some new info has begun circulating about the soon to be revealed 9th Kyoryuger, Kyoryu Violet! According to information via AlphaHeroShock Kyoryu Violet’s actor will be none other than Shigeru Chiba! If you don’t know already Mr. Chiba is not only the narrator of the series but also the voice of the Gaburevolver itself!

According to the info provided his character will Doctor Ulshade, the first person of the modern age to be a Kyoryuger! Also, he’s alive, meaning he won’t be a Spirit Ranger like Ramirez and Tesai. Actually Doctor Ulshade is also the man who created the Gaburevolvers explaining why the Spirit Rangers do not use revolvers. It would also seem that he is not a currently active Kyoryuger because he wanted a quiet and peaceful life.

Mr. Chibas’ tweets from a couple weeks ago, those pertaining to him filming a henshin scene, would certainly indicate that this rumor is true.

Pre orders have already begun for the S.H.Monster Arts Biollante, following it’s showcase in Figureoh magazine.

As such, an official preview gallery for this figure has gone up along with the pre orders. The official images demonstrates the figure’s LED gimmick.

Biollante is perhaps the most expensive Monster Arts figure to date in the line, retailing for a whopping 23,100 yen. She is scheduled to ship sometime in November 2013.

UPDATE:

As expected Bluefin announced that they’ll be distributing Biollante to North American consumers. No word on pricing, but she’s due out in November/December

In the slew of news that came out last week during the 2013 Licensing Expo we got a ton of details and an official press release from Warner Brothers about the upcoming Godzilla movie, along with all the licensing details!

As it should come as no surprise, Bandai has been named the “Master Toy Partner” for the upcoming film. But along with Bandai, a number of other licenses were awarded to other companies – NECA, Sideshow, Trevco, Rubies, Bioworld, and Jakks Pacific!

Godzilla is slated to hit theaters on May 16th, 2014!

Yesterday, Bandai announced that we’ll finally be getting an S.H.Figuarts Kyoryu Red figure. The figure was featured in the new Figureoh Magazine and the scans shows some accessories that will be included.

As expected, the two standard side arms will be included with the release: His GabruRevolver and Caliber which were both shown in the official images, and an in scale Beast Battery will also be packed in along with specific alternate hands designed to hold the battery.

The images give no indication if he’ll have his GabruCannon, and it looks as though his Armed On parts won’t be included at all.

Of course, there’s still the possibility that we could be seeing an Armed On Kyoryu Red as an entirely separate release, or the parts as a first run Pre order bonus.


What’s you’re take on this? Discuss in the thread!

under Kamen Rider

Seems as though Bandai isn’t quite done with the Kamen Rider OOO Super Imaginative Chogokin releases quite yet.

In the new issue of Hyper Hobby, some new line art was seen confirming that we’ll be getting Greeds realized in S.I.C hyper realistic style, and the line will be starting off with Uva!

No further information exists other then the lineart, but stay tuned; we’ll have more information as it becomes available.
