Tamashii is at it again with yet more teasers of things to come at this years Tamashii Features vol. 6!

UPDATE

In a fresh teaser image we’ve been given a closeup look at a new SH Figuarts Rider Bike. However it’s not so new on closer inspection. When comparing the teaser image to photos from last years event the gear assembly matches the same details as Kamen rider Blade’s Blue Spader, Den-O’s Den-Bird, and Zeronos’s Zero Horn. Right now it appears to be Blue Spader though some sites have reported the possibility of it being Den-Bird as well. With the imminent release of Blade later this year, the Blue Spader seems to be the most likely choice. We’ll find out this weekend!

Joining previous teasers for SH Figuarts Kamen Rider ZX and Kamen Rider Agito Burning Form we can expect the details and actual identity of this bike along with release details of some form and possible pricing out of the event this weekend! Tamashii Features VOl. 6 runs from July 13-14!

Thanks to our good friends at RangerCrew.com we have the first actual image of the Power Rangers Megaforce preparing to go in to their “super modes” by using the morphing device from the Super Sentai Gokaiger, known in that series as a Mobirate. You can also see that they have Ranger Keys in the Mobirate, more or less confirmed that’s how they will actually transform in to the Super Megaforce Power Rangers.

Again, big special thanks to Fury Diamond of RangerCrew.com for the heads up and this image.
