“Unleash the beast!”

Thanks to Twitter user @Martian_Ranger new press images are now circulating for 3 new Power Rangers Beast Morphers 6″ Basic figures!

– 6″ Basic Silver Ranger
– 6″ Basic Red Ranger (Red Fury Mode)
– 6″ Basic Drilltron

This figure for Red Fury Mode provides our first official look at the power up for this season’s Red Ranger. We saw some filming images of this power up a few months back, but had no confirmation of it’s name or anything else about it before now. though it definitely takes inspiration from Red Buster’s Power Custom mode, this is an entirely new design. Likewise this is our first look at any figure for the Silver Ranger in this series’ toyline. Rounding out the trio is another really fantastic looking villain figure, Drilltron!

On top of this new, Martian Ranger has also discovered press photos for the upcoming Electronic Beast-X Ultrazord as well as the roleplay weapon for the Red Ranger’s Red Fury Mode, the Electronic Cheetah Claw!

Pricing and release windows for these new additions have not been made public as of yet, but we’ll keep you informed when they do.

Confirmed via a new Figure King scan, the Shinkocchou Seihou Garo line is growing by one more new release!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Version will look quite familiar to most collectors. Raiga’s golden knight form is actually identical to his father Kouga’s aside from one very small detail. The eye color. Kouga’s version of the armor featured green eyes, while notably Raiga’s armor has blue eyes. Should Bandai want to triple dip on this mold they could even do Kouga’s father Taiga. His armor featured red eyes.

While we don’t have any sort of confirmation of the figure’s accessories, it’s a safe bet that they’d be identical to the first release. Though there’s some hope of some alternate inclusions as well. Otherwise this figure appears largely unchanged from the first Seihou Garo release. According to the scan Shinkocchou Seihou Garo Raiga Saejima Ver. will be released in October 2019 for 9990 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Expect a full set of official images in the near future!

ULTRA LIVE!

Just in case you missed it, Bandai Tamashii teased that an S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Ginga was coming down the pipeline. We first saw the prototype at an Ultra Heroes Tamashii event in Shanghai back in March and we finally have new photos of this figure courtesy of Figureoh magazine along with some release info!

S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Ginga will be released in October for 6050 yen as a mass retail release. A Ginga Spark Lance is shown to be included though we don’t know if that’ll be some sort of first-run pre-order bonus or not.

Toei recently held a press conference announcing several details for the upcoming Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger summer film!

Two newcomers will be introduced in the film- Valma & Yuno– who are the ancestors of the RyuSoulgers.

Three new Kamen Riders will make their debut in the upcoming Rider summer movie- Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer!

Each Rider represents a moment in the Heisei Era previously untouched by Zi-O’s adventures:

*Kamen Rider Barx is a reference to the first Heisei Rider TV Series, Kamen Rider Black RX!

*Kamen Rider Zonjis represents the 3 stand-alone Heisei Rider films- Kamen Rider J, Kamen Rider ZO & Shin Kamen Rider!

*Kamen Rider Zamanas is a stand-in for the Net Rider Series, Kamen Rider Amazons!

Each Rider suit in question is made from recycled parts matching their homage sources.

Sadly, the exact origins & abilities of these new Movie Riders remains unrevealed at time of writing.

“S.P.D. Emergency!”

His home planet Sirius decimated by Emperor Gruumm, Anubis Doggie Cruger came to Earth as commander of the law enforcement organization Space Patrol Delta. Cruger would protect the galaxy many times and mentor teams of Power Rangers for a number of years. The greatest team being Earth’s eventual saviors, the S.P.D. B-Squad. As heroic as they were, in desperate times Cruger used his Patrol Morpher to become the sworn defender of the galaxy, S.P.D. Shadow Ranger!

Another wonderful addition to wave 1 of Hasbro’s Lighting Collection line of figures, the S.P.D. Shadow Ranger is absolutely one of the most demanded figures in the line by fans. It’s been 14 years since SPD aired and this character’s popularity has maintained, not to mention the demand from fans of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger for a figure of Deka Master. The LC Shadow Ranegr figure at it’s $20 price point offers a wealth of articulation as well iconic accessories like the Shadow Saber, Patrol Morpher, and even an un-morphed Doggie Cruger head! For fans of both Power Rangers and Super Sentai, this figure is a must own.

A recent news article has given us our first look at the sixth member of Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

The much-hyped RyuSoul Gold, commander of the aquatic KishiRyu MosaRex is actually a young man named Kanaro played by actor Hyodo Chikai.

Kanaro is described as the prince of a splinter RyuSoul Tribe that lives on the sea and detests fighting. The character will officially appear starting in the 14th episode of RyuSoulger- currently scheduled to air June 23 2019.
