Tenku Henshin!

Mahou Sentai Magiranger is back! And Let’s Watch Wednesdays just keep on rolling along, and this week we brought a train! It’s time for a new warrior and a transforming train of magical justice for this installment!

Branken is defeated. And the Magitopian traitor Raigel has revived as the madou priest, Meemy! Using his dark powers he’ll revive the Hades Beast Men, so it looks like it’s time for a new hero to appear! Smoky, the wish granting genie of the lamp! Though he doesn’t seem so heroic on his own. But perhaps his master will appear? A cursed golden hero, freed by a kiss? The shining solar elemental, Magi Shine! And he brings with him the mighty Travellion!

Power Rangers Megaforce and Super Megaforce were billed as being the “most expensive shows we’ve produced”, or so stated the parent company Saban Brands. It was also billed to be a tribute season, a true “anniversary” season to celebrate the history of Power Rangers. And finally, in this next episode titled, “A Lion’s Alliance”, we will get our first true reference to a previous season in the story line of the show when the Power Rangers Super Megaforce have to travel to the Animaria from Power Rangers Wild Force in order to receive their new ally – the powerful Red Lion Zord. Check out the gallery of the toy of Red Lion Zord by conundrum by clicking here.

Lock On!

We’re back once again with another figure from everybody’s favorite line, Arms Change! Today we’re taking a look at the AC 08 Kamen Rider Shin Zangetsu figure from Kamen Rider Gaim!

At first glance you’ll notice a lot of similarities between this version of Zangetsu and the original. But don’t be fooled, there’s more than just a few repaints and retools separating the two. The Melon Energy Arms themselves are a fantastic departure from the original featuring a really awesome asymmetrical transformation.

Though this figure is by no means perfect, it’s a really fun and playable interpretation of one of the more powerful and recently likable characters in the series. If Shin Zangetsu is an indicator of the quality for the future AC Energy Rider releases then it’s safe to say they’ll be great!

GO FOR IT! 

The full version of Ressha Sentai Toqger’s  opening theme song is scheduled for release later this month.

ColumbiaMusicJP was kind enough to release a short TV-sized preview of the official music video for the song, via Youtube performed by Daiki Ise.

The single for Ressha Sentai Tokkyuger’s opening theme song is due out March 19th. In the mean time you can see the video in the box below which is just as uplifting as song itself:

under Ultraman

From the latest issue of Televi-Kun magazine, it seems that a new Ultraman series could be coming.

Supposedly the new series will be called ウルトラマンビクトリー or Ultraman Victory. While the name has been trademarked, no further information on this series exists and whether or not this will be another mini series or Retsudan type show remains to be seen.

For now, take this with a grain of salt and stay tuned for more updates.

Timed perfectly with S.H.Figuarts Chalice going up for pre order last night, the Tamashi Web shop has now made pre orders available for the accompanying piece: the Shadow Chaser.

S.H.Figuarts Shadow Chaser will be released in August for 4536 yen.

An early teaser image of the next Arms Change entry has surfaced online!

AC-11 is “Kachidoki Arms,” Gaim’s super-powered form with extensive new armor and the special “DJ Gun” weapon! At the moment it remains unconfirmed if Kachidoki is a completely new figure or merely another set of armor (though a new body release seems likely to keep details accurate).

Kachidoki Arms is scheduled for released in April at the standard 3000 Yen Arms Change pricepoint!

 

under Power Rangers

After the announcement that Mattel would be purchasing Mega Brands this weekend, we thought it would be a perfect time to show you what the Megabloks line has to offer for Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Photo & Content staff member conundrum was kind enough to pick up the Megabloks Legendary Megazord set and share some images with us. This set is significantly cheaper than previous Megabloks Megazords as well as significantly smaller at only 6″ tall. Composed of 100+ fewer pieces than larger Megazord sets, this one is right up the alley of the savvy buyer, looking for a great gift for their kids.
