Though the show itself is several episodes in we first brought you news of Bima Satira Garuda back in May. And now after many anxious months the official toyline for the series has been unveiled at Anime Festival Asia 2013! Blogger and Tokunation member dejivruR attended the show and was kind enough to take plenty of photos!

On display is just about anything you can imagine for Bima. Role play masks changers & weapons like Bima Changer and Helios Sword, DX action figures & mecha like Bima God Helios and Azazel and much more! Curiously there also appears to be a prototype of a highly articulated figuarts-esque Bima on display. The Maximum Poseable Action Figure or MPAF Bima looks close in both design and quality to Bandai’s S.H.Figuarts line. If nothing else the figure looks very impressive for a brand new line!

It appears we’re at a near stalemate trying to decide what series to watch next for the next Let’s Watch Wednesdays @ Tokunation. From the 10 choices we had we’ve narrowed it down to 3 with heavy support from the community. So now it’s time for this poll to decide the fate of these 3 shows! The next LWW could be:

  • Madan Senki Ryukendo
  • Kamen Rider Blade
  • Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger

Place your vote in this poll between now and Wednesday September 18th at 11:59 PM to help decide the final choice for this installment of Let’s Watch Wednesdays!

under Super Sentai

Add another one to the rumor column for now.

According to our reputable friend Dukemon22, Reiko Chibas twitter post last month about a possible new Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger project actually refers to upcoming cameos by the core 5 Zyuranger actors in December episodes of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger!!

It’s currently unknown whether the actors would simply appear as new characters or reprise their actual Zyuranger characters. Most of the cast is officially retired from acting, including Shiro Izumi/Dragon Ranger, hence why only the core 5 are stated to appear. Though his characters extenuating circumstance may have something to do with his absence as well.

The hopeful optimist in me wants this to mean that 2 dinosaur themed Sentau will team-up for real but who knows. And if that’s case would an Abaranger team-up be out of the question as well? Time will tell!

under Metal Heroes

Put this one in the rumor column for now. Bluefin’s twitter account just posted the following:

if you’re interested in Big Bad Beetleborgs you should speak up #beetleborgs

What this possibly means is that Bandai Tamashii is looking at producing Juukou B-Fighter or even B-Fighter Kabuto figuarts. If that’s the case then fans in the US could definitely expect to see Big Bad Beetleborgs/Metallix releases of these figuarts! Bluefin wants to hear it from fans that they’re ready for B-Fighter/Beetleborgs figuarts! Make your interest known by posting on Bluefin’s twitter and facebook pages. Let’s get it together people!

under Godzilla

It appears that the design for the 2014 Godzilla from the Legendary Pictures film has been revealed! The image in question was taken from a licensing expo apparently in Sao Paulo Brazil. And lending credibility to the image, Legendary Pictures requested the Kaiju Cast twitter, among a slew of other websites, to remove said image. Whether or not this is the actual design may have been up for debate, but rarely are images asked to be removed when they aren’t real.

Being that Legendary’s legal team has been combing the internet requesting the removal of this image from various sites we can’t actually post it. However follow THIS LINK to godzilla-movies.com and check the image out before it’s taken down there too!
