under Power Rangers

This April begins the mega event for the Power Rangers comic book universe! The Shattered Grid event, which takes place in both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Go Go Power Rangers, features the return of the evil Lord Drakkon (the evil Tommy from a future alternate universe) and our heroes attempt to stop him. And they’ll need help from different Power Rangers throughout the Power Rangers Universe!

We have covers courtesy of IGN.com as well as some of the teams that will be featured in the Shattered Grid event! In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers you can expect to see Power Rangers Dino Charge, Power Rangers Time Force, Power Rangers RPM, and Power Rangers Ninja Steel.

In the Power Rangers Annual, which will feature specific characters, it would seem like we’re getting such classic Rangers as the Zeo Gold Ranger, In Space Blue Ranger, SPD Shadow Ranger, Samurai Red Ranger, and more!

Check out all the cover images by clicking the title of the story! We can’t wait for Shattered Grid to begin! Don’t miss it this April!

We love Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. And we love Kamen Rider Ex-Aid figures. So obviously, we love the display shown off today of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Sports Action Gamer Level 3.

This is currently only a prototype and there is no release information available at this time. We can only hope that this figure sees a release as it looks beautiful!

Thanks to @dewachang on Twitter for the images.

We have some new images of some as-of-now unreleased S.I.C. Kamen Rider Gaim figures. On display currently are none other than S.I.C. Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomotsu Heguri Arms, S.I.C. Kamen Rider Baron Lemon Energy Arms, and S.I.C. Lord Baron.

Some of these were first revealed at the Tamashii Nations event last month. There is currently no release information for these characters as they are simply prototypes. If that should change we will let you know! Thanks to @dewachang on Twitter for the images!

It’s been a big day for Kaitou Sentai Lupin Ranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger news, not only did we get our first full-length trailer for the 42nd Super Sentai, but we also have some quick bios of the six Rangers along with some information on the supporting cast, those details are as follows:

  • LupinRed- makes rash decisions, unsure of himself
  • LupinBlue- blackhearted, loses himself in character during fights
  • LupinYellow- acts like a “dumb little sister” but actually very firm & competent
  • Patren 1- very serious, aiming for “zero crime.” 
  • Patren 2- bright, obedient & totally dedicated to hunting the LupinRangers.
  • Patren 3- caring “older-sister” type to the team, not certain if the Lupins are true enemies. 

And in supporting roles: 

  • Yoichi Nukumizu as “Kogure,” descendant of the legendary thief Arsene Lupin who aids the LupinRangers. 
  • Nigerian/American actor Ike Nwala plays the PatRangers’ “Hilltop Commissioner” overseeing their adventures. The PatRangers are also aided by a robot named “Jim Carter” (voiced by Rie Kugimiya)

In addition, MaidDigiTV has the press conference online, so if your interested in checking it out hit the youtube boxes below:

Here we go fellow Mini-Pla collectors! We have our first look at the upcoming Mini-Pla Lupin Kaiser set. This item is already available for pre-order where Mini-Pla sets are sold so if you’re interested, be sure to grab it! This is, obviously, the Lupinranger version of the Patoranger vs Lupinranger Super Sentai series premiering next month.

For those unfamiliar with Mini-Pla – it’s considered a “candy toy” (because it comes with some delicious candy) model kit. You follow instructions on how to build each individual piece of the mecha, including where to put stickers. Many choose to paint their Mini-Pla as opposed to using the stickers. These are popular with many fans because they end up being more articulated than the actual DX toys. If you need some convincing please check out our Mini-Pla Appreciation Thread on the forums!

Don’t say NO! Just Live MORE!

Continuing our jaunt through Kamen Rider Gaim, Bandai Tamashii just unveiled their prototype of the S.I.C Kamen Rider Gaim ichigo Arms, sporting a very sleek ninja-esque look.

The prototype was seen on display presumably at the Tamashii Nations showroom in Akihabara thanks to Twitter user @kobax27. Currently, this piece remains as a display only figure and there’s no indication if Bandai will release this figure in some way or another. Stay tuned, and we’ll bring more info on this strawberry flavored release as it becomes available.
