It’s a Double whammy of Kamen Rider W merch today, to go alongside the updated Seihou Fang Joker info from earlier, P-Bandai has a left-field announcement for us with a replica of the blank book Phillip uses to gain access to the Gaia Library in the show.

One page of the book will contain a quote from the character aside from that, no other release info is known. Pre Orders for this product will begin March 2018.

Update:

Thanks once again to @_erasu the book will apparently come with two covers: The Phillip’s Book cover and a Joker cover. In addition, a bookmark in the shape of a Gaia memory will also be included.

As you may recall, an S.H.Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W Fang Joker was in the works and we didn’t have to wait long to get more info on this bad boy.

Bandai Tamashii’s official Shinkocchou Seihou web page[/url] was just updated with release info and much clearer pictures: at the moment, Fang Joker appears to be a mass retail release he’ll be hitting the shelves among April 2018’s Tamashii Pick Up releases, priced at 6480 yen.

Speculated for some time by fans of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, we’ve finally gotten confirmation of another figuart for Kiriya Kujou AKA Kamen Rider Lazer!

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Lazer Turbo Bike Gamer Level 0 was just revealed via new magazine scans currently making the rounds, we saw them courtesy of Tag Hobby. Lazer Turbo as you may recall is Kiriya’s late in the game form from the series, re-using the Ex-Aid style body and armor with the Level 5 Lazer head. It was probably a no-brainer we’d eventually get this release given the recent Level 5 one but it’s good to finally have confirmation.

Lazer Turbo will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in May 2018 for 5940 yen. Be sure when order pages go up in the future to contact your preferred middleman or web service about securing an order.

Some new images for the upcoming Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Another Ending film trilogy have surfaced online!

Exact details for this new story remain unconfirmed at the moment but some new information HAS come to light-

*Now that the main battle against Chronus is over, Kuroto Dan sets out to launch his ultimate game project: ZOMBIE CHRONICLE! To aid in this goal, Dan has upgraded his powers yet again- creating Kamen Rider Genm God Gamer LVL Billion (a repaint of Ex-Aid’s own Maximum Gamer).

*Kiriya returns to action as well, using the Buggle Driver and henshin into a new BLUE version of Kamen Rider Lazer (which appears to be a repaint/reuse of the GiriGiri Chanbara LVL3 armor).

Yet again it truly seems The Game Is Forever! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Ex-Aid details!

The following article is an opinion article written by TokuNation.com webmaster and editor-in-chief TokuChris. The opinions expressed in this article do not necessarily reflect the feeling of other staff members of TokuNation.com or the website as a whole. TokuChris has been collecting various toy lines and working as a freelance journalist on said toy lines since 2001.

Bandai America has a reputation amongst toy collectors of being cheap, “knock off” quality of their superior sister company, Bandai Japan. When the Legacy items for Power Rangers first started coming out, fans began to think that Bandai America was actually changing their reputation by making high-end American exclusive product catered to the older fans of the franchise.

As the Legacy line of Megazords and roleplay items continued to sell well, Bandai America decided to adventure in to the realm of 6.5″ figures with a “build a figure” gimmick to compete with heavy hitter Marvel Legends. Premium paint applications and articulation were promised in exchange for a $19.99 price tag (or, as fans have discovered, now $21.99 in most places). Sadly, the figure line has been riddled with quality control issues since its second wave and shows no sign of improvement.

And now, with the release and revelation of the Legacy 6.5″ Power Rangers Zeo Gold Ranger having nothing gold about him, fan backlash has reached critical levels. Please click “Read More” to hear one opinion on the matter. Spoilers – it’s not going to be pretty.

The next series of Legacy Power Rangers 6.5″ Figures have been spotted and purchased at a Wal-Mart in California. Dino Thunder Red Ranger, Dino Thunder Blue Ranger, Zeo Green Ranger, and Zeo Gold Ranger were spotted and purchased which has given a sigh of relief to collectors who thought the metallic wave of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy figures had pushed back the release of these highly anticipated figures.

Sadly, there’s been a large fan backlash against Bandai America for the quality of this wave of figures. If you look closely at the pictures, you will see a majority of the “gold” pieces, including the entire armor of the Zeo Gold Ranger, have been unpainted and instead are the flat, matte gold which looks more orange than gold. The same plastic can be seen as the holster for the Dino Thunder figures as well as the Build a Megazord pieces of the Zeo Megazord.

We reached out to Saban Brands for a comment but they have not responded at the time of this article. We will keep you updated with any info that comes across.
