A new trailer and cinematic poster for the forthcoming Garo: Moonbow Traveler film has been released and it looks to be the family reunion fans of the Golden Knight have been waiting for! The latest chapter in the saga of Raiga Saejima won’t just see Ryosei Konishi reprise his role as Raiga’s father (and original series Garo) Kouga Saejima, but Hiroyuki Watanabe will also be returning as his grandfather Taiga. Three generations of Golden Knight!

Garo: Moonbow Traveler will be released in Japanese cinemas on October 4th. In the meantime, you can check out the full trailer below.

As part of the merchandise push for the new Ultra Galaxy Fight New Generation Heroes series, Tamashii Nations has partnered with Tsuburaya Productions to release two new Ultraman S.H. Figuarts!

Joining the long tradition of the black repaint, two more evil ultra doppelgangers will debut in Ultra Galaxy Fight. Ultraman X Darkness & Ultraman Geed Darkness! These gorgeous red black and purple repaints of the heroic ultras were revealed in tandem with this new Youtube series this morning, though no official release details have been announced at this point. Tamashii has confirmed they will be commercialized so it’s only a matter of time before we find out the release pattern for these two. We’ll update this story when that information is released.

This morning Tsuburaya Productions has announced a brand new short form Youtube series for the Ultraman franchise. Ultra Galaxy Fight New Generation Heroes pits the New Gen Ultras from Ginga all the way through Geed against the League of Darkness! Their ranks comprised of more brand new additions to the iconic dark repaint category, the League also appears to be lead by a character originally created for the Pachinko game Ultraman Taro: Revenge of the Dark. None other than Ultra Dark Killer! Though he’s appeared off and on in stage shows, this marks the villains first TV series appearance. Menacing our heroes will also be two slick new evil repaints, Ultraman X Darkness and Ultraman Geed Darkness!

In a surprise move Tsuburaya has not only posted a standard Japanese trailer for the series to their Youtube, but an English trailer as well! In addition, an english statement from series director, the incredible Koichi Sakamoto, has been posted detailing the series. The series will release worldwide in both Japanese & English simultaneously each week. The series will begin September 29th an run for 13 episodes, each 5 minutes long. Check out the English trailer below!

“WAKE UP!”

Shy, anxious, fearful, Wataru Kurenai would rather craft violins like his father Otoya. But as the son of the Fangire Queen as well, he was destined to become Kamen Rider Kiva, the Fangire King! And like the King’s before him Wataru has one trusted partner, a member of the Kivat family, Kivat Bat III. With Kivat in tow, Wataru sets out to fight Fangires and protect humanity, just as his father did (occasionally) 20 years prior. Now it’s time to break the chains on a review we’ve waited years for with S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva!

As the Heisei Era ends, Tamashii Nations has at long last delivered on the promise of completing the 20 Heisei Riders! With Kamen Rider Kiva, the entire lineup of main riders is complete, and let me say, it’s incredibly satisfying. Kiva brings to a close an era of incredible heroes and does so in gorgeous fashion. With the trademark accuracy and engineering of the Seihou line, Kiva looks as though he walked right off the set. Including his 6 Fuestles, the Hell’s Gate leg for his Rider Kick, a Ridewatch Tamashii Stage, and the ever present Kivat Bat III, Kiva is a tremendously welcome sight to any Kamen Rider collection.

You can check out our full 100 image gallery below by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums at the bottom of this post. It features not only the 20 Heisei Riders, but also as many Kiva cameos as I could make happen including TV riders Ixa, Rising Ixa, Emperor Kiva, & Dark Kiva, movie villains Kamen Riders Rey and Arc, & even Decade’s own Kiva-La! Please join in the discussion and let us know what you think of this release which finally closes out the Heisei Era. Next time, it’s Armor Time with a brand new gallery from Kamen Rider Zi-O!

Eternal was first introduced in the Kamen Rider W movie and was popular enough to receive a separate V-Cinema release detailing his origins.
