Bandai Tamashii Nations have just revealed their retail release plans for the months of June and July 2018, and while the tokusatsu offerings among them are slim there is at least one item to entice Kamen Rider fans. Initially revealed at the 2017 Tamashii Nations event, a new version of the S.H. Figuarts New Cyclone motorcycle is on the way to go with the newly released S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider 1 and forthcoming Kamen Rider 2 figures.

This version of the bike matches the colourscheme of the previous single-pack release, rather than the 2-pack edition which came with the original Rider 1 figure. This version features slightly more red at the front of the bike, as well as blue areas surrounding the headlights.

Just how different this is to the original New Cyclone release is unconfirmed, as are both its price and accessories. Stay tuned to Tokunation.com for more information as it comes!

under Super Sentai

As Super Sentai fans are well aware, Bandai Japan does not make a habit of releasing anything other than vinyl figures for the Super Sentai heroes. However, that trend looks to be changing. Uchu Sentai Kyuranger saw the release of Yu-Do candy toys – articulated figures that, well, you put stickers on. That is continuing with Patranger vs Lupinranger. Thanks to Bandai Candy we have our first look at the Yu-Do Patranger vs Lupinranger Candy Toy Figures!

All three Patrangers and all three Lupinrangers will be released as well as a number of accessories for them (including swappable hands!). A number of changes from the Kyuranger version also look to increase the stability and overall look of the figures. We’ve mirrored a majority of the product images here so click the title of the story to check out all of the Yu-Do Patranger vs Lupinranger Candy Toy Figures!

Thanks to GrnRngr.com’s Facebook page we have press photos for the upcoming 5th series of the Power Rangers Legacy 6.5″ figures. This series has already started bleeding in to stores with the Zeo Red Ranger showing up in Series 4 case assortment refreshes. The wave is as follows:

– Zeo Red Ranger
– Zeo Blue Ranger
– Zeo Pink Ranger
– Dino Thunder Black Ranger
– Dino Thunder Yellow Ranger

We know that at least one case assortment that will be hitting stores will contain only the male figures. The female figures have yet to be seen in package, in production, or anywhere really. We’re still awaiting an update on the Zeo Yellow Ranger, who is part of the Series 4 figures and yet has not been released.

The press photos do not appear accurate to what is going to be released. Many of the “shiny gold” parts of the figures end up being a dull orange color instead. This change first started with the Series 4 figures and continues int he Series 5 figures. Hopefully we will have some answers at Toy Fair next month as to why.

under Super Sentai

Last week we saw the first official image of the upcoming Patranger vs Lupinranger Mini-Pla version of Lupin Kaiser. Today, we have official images for everything in the first series from the Mini-Pla release.

Click the title of the story to see all the images of the Patranger vs Lupinranger Mini-Pla Vs Vehicle Series Series 01. Special thanks to neoxul of the TokuNation forums for the heads up.

Mini-Pla are miniature versions of your favorite Super Sentai mecha in model-kit form. You literally build it yourself and apply stickers (or paint if you’d like) to create a smaller, articulated version of your favorite Super Sentai mecha. If you’re not thrilled with the articulation of the large DX Mecha, definitely consider giving the incredibly affordable Mini-Pla a try!

“NEW OMEGA”

We took a short break but now we’re back with out first brand new gallery of 2018! At both the beginning and end of last year, we really opened our Amazons with 6 galleries from the hit series. Alpha, Omega, Jungraider, Sigma, Mole Amazon, & Neo. To kick this year off we’ve decided to start with a gallery of the Amazon Japan exclusive edition of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon New Omega!

New Omega is Haruka Mizusawa’s upgrade from the 2nd season of Amazons, and the first true upgrade for any of the riders in the show. Using the new Neo Amazons Driver, Haruka’s traditional Omega suit gets retrofitted with cybernetic parts that give him a wild and unfinished look that’s really striking. This Amazon JP edition of the figure includes all the of the standard accessories like the Neo Blade arm, an Amazons Syringe, and two sets of hands, but also comes with the exclusive Green Tamashii Flame Effects!

We’ve attached the full 50+ image gallery of Amazon New Omega to this post, but you can also check out our full review of the figure after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread. We’ll be back later this week with a full gallery & review of S.H. Figuarts Takeshi Hongo!
