The good people at TamashiiNations have updated their North American release details for January 2015. Among the figures selected are the two most recent tokusatsu SH Figuarts:
*VulEagle, from the series SunVulcan will be available for 43.99 USD
*Kamen Rider ZO, made for a special Showa anniversary movie, will cost 40.99 USD
A great opportunity for fans who missed the early preorder spots!
New information for the first wave of Kamen Rider Drive toys has finally been revealed! These new catalog images are the first chance so far to examine details of Kamen Rider Drive’s arsenal.
*The DX Drive Driver will be released October 2 for 7600 Yen. The Driver is sold with 2 Shift Cars, DX Speed and Max Flare. Shift Cars are loaded on the Shift Bracelet (sold with Driver) and scanned to unlock various lights & sounds on the main belt.
*The DX Shift Car Holder- an add-on piece to hold 3 more Shift Cars- will also be released October 2nd and will come with the DX Funky Spike Shift Car. This set will cost 2400 Yen.
*Rounding out the October 2nd releases is TK 01, the first gimmick-based action figure for this new series. 01 features Drive’s Type Speed suit and will cost 3200 Yen.
*Mid-October will see the release of DX Trideron, Drives’ personal vehicle (presumably) compatible with the action figure series. Trideron will be sold with the DX Midnight Shadow Shift Car and is priced at 6800 Yen.
Drive definitely seems to be starting off on the right track!
It’s Morphin Time!
Checking one more off the list for MMPR/Zyuranger releases today we’ve got the S.H. Figuarts MMPR Yellow Ranger (female body) gallery! This figure was recently released exclusively by Bluefin to western markets. Likewise in Japan S.H. Figuarts Tiger Ranger was recently released as an exclusive. Catering to two different markets these differing releases of this figure have some unique traits. Here in the US the footage of Tiger Ranger, or rather the original Yellow Ranger, lined up with a female character. And as such a new female version of the figure was created for release in this market!
Created for and by the demand of the US market, S.H. Figuarts Yellow Ranger is the first truly unique release we’ve gotten since the Zyuranger/MMPR series of releases got under way! As the final piece to complete your team of original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers you will not be disappointed. Whether you think of Yellow Ranger as Trini or Aisha it will finish off a team of rangers a couple years in the making, and the accessories included with her will FINALLY complete the incredible Power Cannon! Maybe some of you will even feel the need to double dip ad get the male and female figure like I did? You totally should.
