One more unusual news item from New York Comic Con!

 

Digital media service Crunchyroll has picked up the 2005 Ultra series, Ultraman Max and will make the program available for streaming!

For newly interested fans, here is the story of Ultraman Max:

In the very first episode a strange visitor from space notices Toma’s bravery when the young man risks his own life to help save a lost little boy from danger. The alien gives Toma the power to become the mighty superhero Ultraman Max, a towering red and silver giant 40 meters tall. When two gigantic monsters threaten the world, Toma uses his new powers to destroy them.

 

Ultraman Max will be available beginning October 14!

Our coverage from NYCC 2014 isn’t over yet! Our very own Sentai Tamashii spoke with Bandai of America to ask some questions and we got some answers! So let’s not beat around the bush – here they are! Please note that these are not exact quotes, these are paraphrased.

TokuNation: When can we expect to see the first retail release of Power Rangers Dino Charge? The previous two series (Megaforce and Super Megaforce released at Toys’R’Us right after Thanksgiving).
Bandai: First approximate release is going to be around December at Toys’R’Us much like Megaforce and Super Megaforce before it.

TokuNation: When can we expect to see the release of the Legacy Mighty Morphin Movie 5″ Figures?
Bandai: The latter half of 2015.

TokuNation: With Kyoryuger there were some gender swaps throughout the series. Can we expect to see those in the 5″ line for Dino Charge?
Bandai: We cannot disclose the gender of any of the unseen Dino Charge Power Rangers but every Ranger on the show will have a figure released.

TokuNation: What about villains? Can we expect more toys of villains?
Bandai: Yes. There will be more villains released per feedback.

TokuNation: Can we expect to see more homages to previous Power Rangers through the Dino Charge toy line, whether it be in 5″ form or Armored Might?
Bandai: All homages will be specifically through fan support.

TokuNation: There’s a lot of Megazords in Kyoryuger (5 including Topaspino). Will we see them all in the Dino Charge toy line?
Bandai: We don’t want to step on Saban Brands toes by saying anything at this moment. Wait for Saban Brands to answer that question.

TokuNation: When can we expect an announcement on the teased Ranger Keys for the fall?
Bandai: Due to partnerships we cannot disclose any of that at this time.

TokuNation: What is the name of the Dino Charge morpher? And does the mouth open?
Bandai: It is officially called the Deluxe Dino Charge Morpher. The mouth does open and has one battery port inside.

Special thanks to Greg from Bandai of America for taking the time to answer our questions!

After a lenghty hiatus since the initial prototype was shown off, the long awaited Ultra-Act Ultraman Hikari will finally be released! Kazuya Serizawa, Hikari, hails from the series Ultraman Mebius. 

Though the original prototype of this figure looked quite nice, the final product looks fantastic. Hikari appears to include at least 1 alternate form of the Knight Brace to allow for his Knight Blade effect part to be used. He also includes his Knight Shot beam effect, an alternate color timer, and at least 2 sets of additional hands. Hikari will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in April 2015 for 4536 yen.

Join our ongoing discussion of the entire Ultra-Act toyline here. And to check out Hikari’s official images, click “discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post.
