under Conventions, Other Conventions

If you haven’t heard of Denver Comic Con then it’s time you got yourself familiarized! The first show happened in 2012 and was met with great praise for being well-organized and a fun experience. Then in 2013, they were met with record number increases, so much that they had to turn people away from entering the show, as it was entirely sold out (we’re talking an increase from a few thousand to TENS of THOUSANDS with people getting in line for tickets at 1am)!

And now in 2014 they are finally dabbling in the genre of tokusatsu, announcing David Yost (the Mighty Morphin Blue Ranger) and Walter Jones (the original Mighty Morphin Black Ranger) as special guests. Both Yost and Jones are still relatively new to the convention circuits, only recently in the last year or so getting in to conventions.

Denver Comic Con will be held June 13th, 14th, and 15th at the Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver, Colorado. Tickets go on sale Cyber Monday (Monday, December 2nd).

under Kamen Rider

And new images and details have surfaced for the movie Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle!

Just like in other Kamen Rider crossovers, this movie proves that Kamen Rider Wizard will obtain a new form-

Spoiler:
Gold Infinity Dragon!
It appears that the Hope Ring plays a part in obtaining this new form.

More images of Warrior God/Bujin Gaim are shown as well. In Gaim’s portion of the movie, the Armored Riders are transported to an alternate world were Kamen Riders are known as Warrior Gods and serve their own Warlords. But who is Bujin Gaim?

We also got images of the Armored Riders using the Rider Arms, with Kamen Rider Gaim in Wizard Arms riding the Dandeliner.

under Super Sentai

Several new images of the upcoming special Kyoryuger VS Go-Busters have given us a close look at the villains behind this explosion of saurian Sentais!

The Kyoryugers are confronted by Space WarGod Boldos who is able to resurrect several fallen villains as “Neo Enemies.” Among the returning foes are Grifforzer (Goldar to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fans), Gailton (known as Zeltrax to Power Rangers Dino Thunder fans) and several Golems (perhaps better recognized as the Putty Patrollers from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers).

Go-Busters’ enemies Enter & Escape are also said to be resurrected but are not featured among the scans.

Kyoryuger VS Go-Busters airs January 18, 2014!

under Kamen Rider

Our staff is absolutely in love with everything Kamen Rider Gaim related. In specific, we think that the Kamen Rider Gaim Arms Change toy line is one of the best designed and executed toy lines since S.H. Figuarts. The playability factor and the way each figure (and now motorcycles) is executed in design is simply amazing.

Our friend baltmatrix agrees. He’s gotten his hands on the first two bikes of the series, the Sakura Hurricane and the Rose Attacker, the bikes for Kamen Rider Gaim and Kamen Rider Baron respectively.

Check out this short awesome video below!

So! Who is getting these bikes with me? Just kidding. Mine are already on their way! Don’t say no, just live more!

under Kamen Rider

“The man who will rule the world… must walk the path of American availability.”

Bluefin Distributing has picked up the much-hyped Kamen Rider Kabuto Renewal– an excellent opportunity for Western buyers and a great way to demonstrate the new Figuarts body-type!

Renewal Kabuto will be available in April 2014 for 50.99 USD

under Power Rangers, Super Sentai

You know the drill by now right? Well of course! It’s Power Rangers Wild Force month at Tokunation! And as we begin to round out our little series of “Gaolleries” we take a look at a very special release from Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger!

DX Black Gao King is a special repaint of the standard Gao King set done up in, you guessed it, black/silver, packed in a black/white version of the normal Gao King box. The set has a nice sleek uniform color scheme that’s very pleasing to the eye. Though if you already have a normal Gao King this may not be a set you’d want to double up with. The Black Gao Elephant released with the TRU Gao Knight set[/URL] is also a perfect addition to this set allowing you to make a full on Black Gao King Sword & Shield!

Of course this set is part of a long long tradition of black repaints not only for sentai, but for mecha shows in general. The first black edition sentai robo being the Black Daizyujin later altered for release in the US as the Black MMPR Megazord.

Just last week, Godzilla fans and MonsterArts collectors were thrilled to see that the biggest, baddest rosebush on the planet was finally released in Japan in super-articulated form. In only one day, S.H. MonsterArts Biollante has already become the latest and greatest subject of many a 2chan image. Now, courtesy of YouTube user and Japanese toy collector bonorenosan, we have a moving-picture look at Biollante, showing off her box size, articulation, ability to rotate on a motorized stand, and light-up core!

S.H. MonsterArts Biollante is expected to ship in North America courtesy of Bluefin in December at a daikaiju-sized retail price of $229.99 and has been available for preorder at numerous retailers, including our friends at BigBadToyStore.

Check out the video and numerous fun photos from our friends in Japan, then let us know if you’re getting a piece of this plant monster for yourself!
