Just yesterday the Tamashii Web Shop provided us with advance official images of the highly anticipated S.H. Figuarts Aka Ranger & Bio Rider figures. And today’s magazine scans have revealed their release info along with two other talked about releases, Kamen Rider Kurokage & Hakaider!
Aka Ranger will be a retail release in September for 4860 yen.
Bio Rider will follow along that month as well for 3888 yen.
Kamen Rider Kurokage, due for release in October as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 4104 yen.
Andsimilarly Hakaider will also be a Web Exclusive release in October for 4860 yen.
September and October look to be absolutely insane for collectors of any of Tamashii Nations outstanding toylines. Start making back room deals with your wallets now people!
We’re past the midway point of the show and getting towards the tail end of the Kamen Rider Gaim Arms Change line but this release will make many fans happy. The fourth Bandai Premium Arms Change release will be ACPB 04 Armored/Kamen Rider Knuckle! Donning his Kurumi (Walnut) arms the 2nd leader of Team Baron, Zack, will seemingly round out the AC line along with the upcoming retail release Kiwami Arms Gaim.
As with the previous AC Premium Figures, Knuckle will remain open for orders for several months, from 5/23-7/31 with a scheduled release for October. Unsurprisingly his retial price is a bit higher at 4000 yen, but then again he does have some pretty big gauntlets to drag around.
And the avalanche continues! Just revealed is the 2nd of two upcoming Ultra-Act two packs. The Jet Black Ultra Brothers set!
This pack features Ultra-Seven Dark & Ultraman Dark as they appeared in Ultraman Ginga . This set appears to include the standard accessories of at least Ultra-Act Ultra Seven Renewal and possibly those of Ultraman Renewal as well. On the confirmed side of things this set will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive for October, 7992 yen.
And then there’s yet another rendition of the mighty S.H. Monsterarts Mechagodzilla/Kiryu figure! A brand new High Mobility Type version of this iconic beast, to be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in October for 12,960 yen!
Well that was quick! Our second & third new reveals of the night are S.H. Figuarts Roboizer & S.H. Figuarts Green Clover!
S.H. Figuarts Roboizer is the signature bike used by Kamen Rider Black RX in his Robo Rider form. This sweet ride will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive for October release for 4860 yen.
Meanwhile S.H. Figuarts Green Clover, the personal machine of Kamen Rider Leangle from Kamen Rider Blade, will also be a Tamashii Web Exclusive this October for 4536 yen.
That time of the month has rolled around once again! New figure magazines are hitting the shelves and with them come a plethora of new reveals for soon to be released figures. Today we learn of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms!
Slated for a September release, this bulky figure will retail for a whopping 5180 yen! But by far the best part of this reveal is that Kachidoki Arms will be a regular retail release! Kachidoki Arms will include both versions of the DJ Gun, both Kachidokibata, and the Muso Saber as well! Stay tuned as we attempt to dig up better images of this beauty.
The first among the Premium Bandai Arms Change figures finally sees release and what better place to start than with then the Movie’s Bujin Gaim?
Youtube reviewer k2eizo provides us with the video demo for the figure which he also demonstrates in use with Zangetsu and Ryugen:
Magical Climax! It’s time to finally say goodbye to Mahou Sentai Magiranger here at TokuNation’s very own Let’s Watch Wednesdays. Just in time to end it all, the ENTIRE Ozu family will reunite!
Blagel, Wolzard Fire, makes his triumphant return! With the family assembled, and N-Ma revived it’s time for the final showdown. But first Urara and Hikaru will finally unite their hearts and lives, their wedding is the peace before the end. The Magirangers are now truly one family. Can the power of these 8 assembled defeat the evil of the magic devouring N-Ma? Courage is limitless, and with it magic is infinite!

And while we’re here, the community has finally chosen our next Let’s Watch Wednesdays segment. You know I’m going to have fun with this one right? Are you ready for time travelling trains, form swapping madness, coffee, Imagin, climaxes, and all the Ore Sanjous you can handle? The one and only Kamen Rider Den-O is here!!

Tune in next week to see Ryutaro, Momotaros, Hana, Owner, and the rest of the Den-Liner crew in action!
Busters, Ready, Go!
It’s time once again to use your imaginations and view our latest gallery from Ressha Sentai ToQger! Today we’re having a look at the first EX/Legend Sentai Ressah released in the toyline, DX Go-Busters Ressha!
Go-Busters Ressha of course borrows it’s likeness from the Go-Busters Ace of Tokuemei Sentai Go-Busters. It’s Ressha form is styled after the Ace’s cheetah mode whereas it’s head when combined with ToQ Oh is clearly an approximation of the Go-Buster Ace’s robot mode. When combined with ToQ Oh, ToQ Oh Go-Buster Ace is formed. Of course since this figure features all the same connectors as the rest of the line you can combine it in as many different ways as you choose. This combination may or may not be in a film or TV episode. Currently it’s actual physical appearance outside of toy form is unconfirmed.

File this under pleasant surprises. Apparently scheduled for release in September 2014 are two long awaited releases. S.H. Figuarts Aka Ranger from Himitsu Sentai Goranger. You may recall that this figure hasn’t been seen since it was displayed at Tamashii Features Vol 3 in 2012.
And then there’s S.H. Figuarts Bio Rider from Kamen Rider Black RX who was only glimpsed thanks to SHFindo back in March!
Release details haven’t been confirmed for either figure yet, but the Tamashii Web Page is stating these will be released in September. And they’ve provided several official images of each figure!
