After a brief teaser of this release earlier in the week, Tamashii Nations has fully revealed and confirmed release details for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai!

It’s been a few months since a new figure from Kamen Rider Hibiki has been announced or released, the last couple being Zanki and Todoroki. So it’s refreshing to see this long overdue form finally make it’s debut in the Seihou line. Since Hibiki’s release in the line 6 years ago, it’s been hoped by fans that the difficult to procure mold would see re-release in this gorgeous form.

Now we can expect to see it finally Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai release this July for 7150 yen!

“It’s Morphin’ Time!”

Jason Lee Scott, was just a normal high school student. That is until an inter-dimensional being and his robot sidekick recruited the budding martial artist to be a hero. Jason, along with 4 of his friends, were transported to the Command Center, bestowed with the powers of the ancient dinosaurs, and tasked with a mission. Defeat Rita Repulsa and her evil monsters and defend the Earth as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! With mighty Morphers and a massive Megazord, Jason lead the Power Rangers in their fight against Rita, and even greater evils to come!

The Power Rangers Lightning Collection has moved swiftly in the last year, Wave 4 having been recently found at retail and a two-pack featuring Rita & Zedd having been revealed as well. Our review of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger finally rounds out our reviews of Wave 3. A bit more of a standard release if you’ve had an experience with the male MMPR mold before, the Red Ranger is still a welcome sight for anyone who didn’t manage to get the SDCC 2019 two-pack featuring the Dragon Shield version of the figure. With a Blade Blaster, Power Sword, lightning effect, and a civilian head, this release makes for a perfect entry in any collection.

Check out 50+ images of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with a long overdue gallery of Lightning Collection Lost Galaxy Red Ranger & Psycho Red Ranger!
