In addition, the set will have Zyudenchi for each of the corresponding dinos along with three new ones: the Candellia, Luckyuro, and Kyoryuger Batteries seen previously in scans.

Recently we took a look at one of the leads of the excellent Amazon Japan web series Kamen Rider Amazons with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Omega. Well we’re mixing things up a bit today, before we take a look at the series other lead rider, Amazon Alpha, we’re going to take a look at Omega’s Rider Machine, the S.H. Figuarts Jungraider!

Believe it or not, the Jungraider should be familiar to many people whether they’ve seen Amazons or not. And that’s because this bike is part of Bandai’s long tradition of recycled old suits and props. In fact the Jungraider was made from Kamen Rider Gills very own Gills Raider! So the figuart is no different, it’s an excellent remold of the Gills Raider, released nearly 7 years ago! But that’s not all, the Jungraider also includes the last couple pieces of Amazon Omega’s arsenal, the Battler Grip Sickle & Battler Grip Whip! This is a truly interesting release that will compliment any Amazons collection.

We’ve put together over 40 images of S.H. Figuarts Jungraider after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” after the jump to see the full gallery & review. We’ll be back with more Amazons goodness soon with a full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha!

Seen recently on display at the Tamashii Nations Akiba showroom, and now confirmed for actual release, is S.H. Figuarts Mole Amazon!

The 5th S.H. Figuarts release thus far from the wildly popular Kamen Rider Amazons web series, Mole Amazon is also the first character released from the show to not be an actual rider. Mole (Mamoru ) was of course the lovable and childlike Amazon who was part of the Nozama Peston Service with a penchant for eating hamburgers. So what release of this figure would complete without it’s own hamburger accessory!? Bandai has you covered there. Mole Amazon also includes parts to recreate his savage take down of Amazon Sigma and an open mouth part.

S.H. Figuarts Mole Amazon will be released in October 2017 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 7020 yen. Be sure to get in touch with your preferred exclusives middleman or service to reserve one soon!

“AMAZON!”

Do you believe in Amazon yet? Well if not then it’s time to change your opinion! The fantastic Amazon Japan series Kamen Rider Amazons has been a runaway success since it’s first season premiered last year. With the 2nd season having just begun this week, we thought it was finally time to take a look at the first figure release from season 1 with S.H. Figuarts Kamen Amazon Omega (Amazon JP Edition)!

Haruka Mizusawa had the roles of Kamen Rider and Amazon thrust upon him, changing the very core of his being. And while we can’t answer for you what it means to be human or Amazon in this review, we can definitely tell you whether or not you need this figure. Minor qualms aside, Amazon Omega is a more than serviceable release that comes with way more accessories than your average retail figuart. Particularly with this Amazon JP Edition of the figure which includes green flame effects. But honestly it’s just a great looking figuart, and if you’re a fan of the series then you need to own him.

Check out over 70 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Amazon Omega after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back back soon with a follow up to this gallery with S.H. Figuarts Jungraider!

For those of you who like salt please take a moment to swallow a 50lbs bag of it. Coming out of the blue is a claim by the YouTube channel “That Hashtag Show” of a list of returning Power Rangers to Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel airing in 2018. Included in this claim is that many of these returning Power Rangers are around for more than a single episode, and that some have focus episodes (akin to the Jungle Fury episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce).

Again – this is information released by That Hashtag Show (whom have ties with MMPR Toys, Power Morphicon, etc.). However, with the slip of the tongue by the Ninja Steel Red Ranger earlier this year stating that previous Power Rangers were returning for Super Ninja Steel, this may shed some light on what we can expect for the 25th anniversary of Power Rangers.
