Are you all ready for brand new GARO this year? But before we move onto the new installments in this fast-growing franchise, the Makai Kado line has revealed two new releases from last year’s GARO: The One Who Shines in the Darkness.

This special 2-pack contains golden versions of Flame Knight Zen and Heavenly Bow Knight Gai, who were enhanced with the radiance of Garo’s golden armor in the series’ final battle against Zedom. As well as replacement hands for the two figures, this set also includes a special backdrop for the two figures to be displayed alongside the soon-to-be-released golden version of the Ryuga Garo armor.

The 2-pack is a Tamashii Web Exclusive due for release in June, priced 14,040 yen.

After the reveal of new images of its rider, the Machine ZeroHorn pops up on the Tamashii Webshop! The personal Rider Machine of Kamen Rider Zeronos, the Machine ZeroHorn is what Zeronos uses to pilot the ZeroLiner.

The Machine ZeroHorn includes two pairs of holding hands, one for the Zeronos’s Altair Form and one for Zero Form.

The preorders for the Machine ZeroHorn opened on January 24, 2014, with an estimated release of June 2014. The price of this rider machine is 4,536 Yen.

The last of the Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger finally arrives in the S.H. Figuarts line! Tiger Ranger comes packaged with a folded Ranger Stick, the Ranger Slinger and Boi’s signature weapons – the Saber Daggers. Also included in this set are the final pieces needed to build the Howling Cannon – the combined form of the Zyurangers’ weapons.

Unlike the version being released in the US by Bluefin Tamashii Nations, this figure is based on the character from the original Super Sentai series and thus uses a male body.

Tiger Ranger will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in June, priced 3780 yen.

Ready to finish your Zyurangers? Preorders open tomorrow!

Preorders opened January 24, 2014 and the estimated date they ship him out is sometime in June 2014. Current cost is 3,780 Yen.

Previewed last month, we finally have some release details for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts releases of the Sakura Hurricane & Rose Attacker from Kamen Rider Gaim.

Sakura Hurricane will be out in June as a standard retail release, though no price has been announced yet. Curiously Rose Attacker is slated for July release, but as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Again no price has been revealed. We’ll keep you up to date as more info becomes available for both of these upcoming releases!

under Power Rangers

Earlier today the first official images of the upcoming web exclusive Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger Tiger Ranger S.H. Figuarts figure were shown. In a mirror-move, the Facebook page for Bluefin Tamashii Nations, the US version of Tamashii Nations, posted up the images of their version, the S.H. Figuarts Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Yellow Ranger!

The international release of this figure is significant because, as you may remember, in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the Yellow Ranger was actually female and not male. Because of that, the outside-Japan release will feature a female torso piece as opposed to the male torso piece. We’ve seen the figure as early as San Diego Comic Con 2013, but now we have some clear images to inspect. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers version will release with two Power Daggers, a Thunder Slinger, Blade Blaster, and three sets of interchangeable hands, as well as an accessory to form the Power Blaster, the weapon formed by combining each Power Ranger‘s signature weapon. This figure is slated to release later this year.

What do you think? Which version do you plan to get? Sound off in the discussion thread!

Following the avalanche of overnight announcements we’ve got just a few more. It appears that June will bring Kamen Rider Den-O fans a double whammy. Both Kamen Rider Zeronos Zero Form and his bike the Zero Horn will be released, for 3780 & 4530 yen respectively.

And for Ryuki completitionists (myself included) S.H. Figuarts Alternative will be out in May for 3780 yen. This release might be easily confused with the already released Alternative Zero. In fact these are two separate characters, Zero simply had much more screen time than Alternative. But they have identical costumes save for some paint detailing differences.
