Archives for January 2014

under Super Sentai

History’s strongest braves are back! Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger’s V Cinema special has been announced as Kyoryuger 100 Years After!

The Blueray/DVD will be released on June 20th 2014 and the main cast will be returning  for this one. The DVD/Blu Ray will come with a special program book and Zyudenchi.

As the name suggests, the story will take place far into the future. Interestingly, the uniforms suggest that this new team will consist of Deathryuger, Kyoryuviolet, Cyan, Grey, Blue, and Silver. But whether or not these will be direct decedents or entirely new characters isn’t really known at the time. There’s no trailer as of yet, but you can watch the video officially announcing the project in the box below:


Thanks to Board member White Ranger for letting us know.

With the 38th Super Sentai still several weeks away, Bandai Japan is setting up the promotion train- in style!

The Fashion Network best known for excellent detailed recreations of tokusatsu hero clothing is now offering a variety of Toqger merchandise- including shirts, team jackets and conductor uniforms for the “Rainbow Line!”

A wide variety of items are available but the cost may be too much for some collectors (the jackets run in the 40000-yen range). But they may be enjoyable for fans with good fashion cents!

under Godzilla

Thanks to Dread Central we have the latest scoop on upcoming Godzilla films to be released on Blu-ray in the US for the 1st time! The following are due for release later this year as part of Kraken‘s “summer of Godzilla“:

  • Godzilla VS The Sea Monster
  • Godzilla VS Gigan
  • Godzilla VS The Smog Monster

The cool thing is, both the English dubbed and Japanese with English subtitles versions will be included on each disc!

 

under Kamen Rider

How can a television show get any better than this? In one of the most revealing, shocking, and tear-jerking episodes in recent memory, Kamen Rider Gaim has once again out-done itself with an episode that, as even the writer Gen Urobuchi has stated, “changes everything”. Check your favorite subtitle groups as the episode is out in full force!

We can’t really talk about the episode on the front page without spoiling the entire thing. Just know that the image attached – Micchy hugging/clinging the wall, falling down in pure shock and disbelief – is the same reaction that just about everyone watching the show had in that very moment. Come and join the episode discussion and give your vote to it by clicking here.

We’ll see you next week with another episode poll and discussion. Though how an episode can top this one is beyond belief, but we have faith that sure enough, it will happen. To the stage!

under Kamen Rider

Youtube reviewer “Wotakufighter” has put up a new review featuring the latest Gaim “Arms Change” release- Armored Rider Gridon and his new Lock Vehicle, the Dandeliner!

This set should be arriving at retail stores this weekend, so those of you who were lucky enough to get preorders in should keep a close eye on your mailboxes!

UPDATED! Second video featuring the Dandeliner!

under Kamen Rider

The Super Imaginative Chogokin line continues its journey through Kamen Rider OOO with the official announcement of S.I.C. Mezool. Much like the S.I.C. Uva figure that came before it, the aquatic Greeed is a static statue rather than an articulated figure, but still features the stylisation the line is known for.

Mezool will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in June, priced 5184 yen.

under Godzilla

Just after we revealed their release via a magazine scan, Bandai’s Tamashii Webstore has updated with official images of the forthcoming S.H. MonsterArts Mothra and Battra larvae forms! This special 2-pack is of the monsters as they first appeared in the 1992 film Godzilla vs. Mothra, and retains the impressive size difference between the two. The set also comes with a special silk effect part for Mothra, and the text also mentions a stand (although this is not pictured).

The set is a Tamashii Web Exclusive due for release in June, and can be yours for the price of 10,800 yen. However as is the case with most MonsterArts figures, this is likely to be released in the West via Bluefin Tamashii Nations. We’ll bring you updates on that as they come!
