DecaEnd of HJU is back with the toku rumor bandwagon! It appears that voice actress Haruka Tomatsu will be making an appearance around the 11th episode of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. Why is this relevant you may ask? Well Ms Tomatsu is actually the voice behind the Debos Army villain Candelira!

In her cameo episode she will be playing an idol singing a Debos song from episode 6 to control humans. Could Tomatsu be playing Candelira in a human disguise? Zyudenchi #14 Stymero & #18 Igeranodon will also be used in this brave.

The Godzilla Movie Site has posted an interesting piece of info. Apparently a rumor has been floating around since February that Toho (Godzill’s license holder) may require Legendary Pictures, which is producing the Godzilla 2014 film, to use actual suitmation in filming! Suitmation being the use of actual physical suits with actors in them (like Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, etc) rather than CGI.

This rumor hasn’t been confirmed by Legendary Pictures or the films’ director Gareth Edwards, but it would stand to reason that Toho would like to see suitmation in this film over the more generally used CGI. This keeping with the roots of the classic Godzilla franchise. The suit design attached to this article would certainly imply that Toho wants to see this happen.

Seen previously at Tamashii Nations 2012 a prototype for SIC Kamen Rider OOO ShaUTa Combo has just been revealed in this months issue of Hobby Japan!

ShaUTa doesn’t have confirmed release date or status yet (mass release vs. exclusive) but seeing this image can only mean we’ll have news of it’s release soon. If SIC GataKiriBa is any indication though then this combo will most likely be a Tamashii Web Exclusive as well.

Among many other updates on the Bandai Tamashii Site today comes a surprise! Only discovered yesterday in a Figure-Oh Scan, the Tamashii site has fully revealed Ultra-Act King Gridman!

This figure will be released in August as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 6,300 yen. If you’re a fan of Denkou Choujin Gridman or Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad then King Gridman is a must own!

AlpaHeroShock has just posted up the episode titles for Kyoryuger Braves 9-11! These titles are centered around none other than the soon to be revealed KyoryuGold!

Brave 9: So strong! Pteraidenoh!
Brave 10 : Zander! Gold’s resurrection!
Brave 11 : Ucchi! Allow me to be cool!

These titles would imply that Zyudenryu #6 Pteragodon will appear in Brave 9 shortly before his partner KyoryuGold arrives in 10. 10’s title would also imply that Gold is some type of revived spirit/ghost like Kyoryu Cyan. In Japanese the title for Brave 11 would be “Ucchi ! Cool de gozaru!” De Gozaru is a common phrase used in eras of Japanese history where samurai existed. Could KyoryuGold be a samurai brought back to fight the Debos?
