Bandai have recently updated the Tamashii Nations website with new images of the forthcoming Kamen Rider Gaim S.H. Figuarts, announcing a special campaign to coincide with the release of Kamen Rider Gaim and Baron in May.

According to translation provided by Herotaku, a special stand will be included with Gaim while a Byōbu backdrop will come with Baron. Both figures will retail for 4104 yen each.

What’s also exciting about these images is we get our first look at S.H. Figuarts Ryugen and Zangetsu, whose release dates are yet to be confirmed!

Continuing the 66Action Line, Bandai has announced a brand new wave.

Wave 2 of the line will introduce Kamen Rider Zangetsu, W Cyclone Joker, Den-O Sword Form, and finally: Kabuto Rider Form.

Currently scheduled for a release in April, an individual box should run you 380 yen.

under Power Rangers

Could you possibly handle more Power Rangers Super Megaforce Galleries? We thought so!

Today we’ve scored the Deluxe Gosei Great Zord Armor Ranger set! This quirky set features an exo-suit armor for 4″ Ranger figures to wear. The suit itself is based on the Gosei Great Megazord featuring the same visor as the megaforce rangers though it has a color scheme that seems to borrow more from Gojyujin/Q-Rex Megazord.

As with any Zord Builder set this one can combine in any number of ways with the Legendary Megazord or other Legendary Zords/Vehicles. It also happens to have a molded in Ranger Key for it’s left arm! This key is compatible with all of Ranger Key activated gimmicks including the the Legendary Morpher’s!

On the food menu we have: Maguro and Avacodo Wizard Dressing, Diced Bell Kebab with Diced(pun on Saikou/perfect) Steak, Gryphon Mimosa Salad and of course, it just wouldn’t be Wizard without a plain sugar donut.

Added to the drinks sections there’s: Magical Stone Cocktail, Lion Style, Last Hope, Medusa Perfume and, Gremlin Panic an alcoholic drink.

Special thanks to the folks of The Tokusatsu Network for the translations of this menu!

Ecto Phase ACTIVATE!

 

Bluefin Distributing has picked up the S. H. Figuarts Renewal versions of Kamen Rider Black RX and his motorcycle, the Acrobatter.

RX will retail for a mere 34.99 USD while Acrobatter will cost 43.99 USD. Both are set for release in May 2014!

Definitely a good set for all the fans who were probably introduced to Kamen Rider with these designs!

under Godzilla

The last piece of Godzilla 2014 merchandise we stumbled across was the 2″ Lights & Sounds Godzilla mini-figure kit. At first speculated to be fake, Legendary later asked the image be removed, all but confirming it’s legitimacy. Now thanks to the crafty sleuthing of Baltan II, we’ve got our first look at another Godzilla action figure but this time it’s the real deal.

The figure in question is currently speculated to be either a standard Bandai of America release or a large Jakks Pacific figure. Based on the image the tail appears to be jointed, at least in the middle, the shoulders and hips appear to feature articulation to some degree, and it looks like the mouth opens. Without more information to go on than this image, your guess is as good as ours as to what this thing actually is. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further updates of this story, and for all of your Godzilla 2014 Film news!

Edit: Image removed at request of JAKKS Pacific.

The danger will test you, better make it Lightspeed Rescue!

And we’re back with another treat from Power Rangers Super Megaforce and today’s offering is the Lightspeed Rescue Cycle! Like it’s mold mate the Lost Galaxy Cycle, the Lightspeed is an homage to a vehicle from it’s name sake show. And like the Galaxy Cycle it features the same fun pull back/ranger key activated gimmick. This release also helps explain the removable “head” gimmick seen on the Galaxy Cycle. Each one will have this feature so you can mix and match the various “heads” to create some new combos.

under Kamen Rider

The most successful merchandise line for any Kamen Rider series by Bandai of Japan has pumped out some incredible toys the last few months – and one of the most anticipated was none other than Arms Change Kamen Rider Zangetsu. Serving as the main antagonist in the Kamen Rider Gaim television series as of this writing, the character in the show just whoops up on all the other characters in a way that would make any superhero or super villain salivate.

So to determine how a white plastic remold of Kamen Rider Gaim in to Kamen Rider Zangetsu holds up, we turn to our great pal and TokuNation.com contributor baltmatrix, who provides us with yet another video review, this time of AC05 – Kamen Rider Zangetsu!

under Kamen Rider

Thanks to the good people at The Tokusatsu Network we may finally know the director in charge of Toei’s upcoming “Hesei VS Showa” Kamen Rider Movie War!

During a livestream with actor Kento Handa (better known as Kamen Rider Faiz) a handful of new details were revealed about this upcoming project. According to Kento, the directors’ chair is occupied by one Takayuki Shibasaki– a veteran of several previous tokusatsu projects including “Kamen Rider OOO: Wonderful Shogun” and “Gokaiger VS Go-Busters.”

In addition, Kento recounts his experience working on set with Ryo Hayami- who older fans may recognize as Kamen Rider X! Hayami may be the first Showa-era character definitely attached to the film, and we hope he will not be the last.

Be sure to join our ongoing discussion to share your hopes & fears about this upcoming Movie War!
