Surprise! No, this isn’t the recently teased SOC GX-81 release Tamashii Nations has been talking about on Twitter. This year’s con exclusive release is indeed a a Black repaint of the SOC GX-76 Megazord/Daizyujin

Taking a current from Transformers repaints of the same variety, rather than use the usual gold accents we see with Black Megazord & Daizyujin repaints, this one opts for teal accents. Nemesis Megazord am I right?

This release will be exclusively available at San Diego Comic Con 2018, at the Bluefin Brands booth.

Thanks as always to our friend Erasu, we’ve come upon that time of month when new official images being to drop. Ahead of the official listing pages for both figures, we have our first looks at the official pics for S.H. Figuarts Crow Amazon as well as S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Neo Alpha!

While we’ll have to wait until tonight for the full listings to go up, these initial images do offer us our first look at these highly anticipated releases. Crow Amazon doesn’t appear to come with any unique accessories, while Neo Alpha comes with his machine gun arm attachment. We’ll know later tonight what the specific release details and parts breakdowns are for both of these figures.

“I already have the future in my hand.”

Transformed by the Hyper Zecter, armed with the Perfect Zecter, Souji Tendou walks the path of heaven once more in our gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Form!

Kabuto Hyper Form is just the latest in a long succession of Figuarts releases from Kamen Rider Kabuto that date back to the earliest days of the line. With Shinkocchou Seihou releases for this series in full swing it was only a matter of time before Kabuto’s most powerful form debuted. A detailed recreation of the Hyper Form suit, gimmicks and all, this figuart succeeds in being better in every aspect than the ancient original release. Featuring a Hyper Clock Up mode, some much improved wings of light, as well as a fully functional Perfect Zecter, it really can’t get better than this.

You can view our full gallery of 100 images and read through our review of Kabuto Hyper Form by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time, we return to Kamen Rider W with the berserker form Shinkocchou Seihou Fang Joker!

Via Comicbook.com We have our first look at the main cover and two variants for the upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #30 from Boom! Studios.

In this exclusive preview we get our first look at the main cover by Jamal Campbell, featuring a number of helmets from felled rangers surrounding Lord Drakkon’s throne. The Jordan Gibson variant gives us the traditional MMPR border used on a number of variants through out the series but features Andros the In Space Red Ranger as it’s main focus. Given the In Space rangers part in the Shattered Grid Annual, this could signal a larger role for them all to play. And the final gorgeous cover is by Carlos Villa, who treats us to an incredible “Forever Black” team-up of Black Rangers spanning franchise history.

Power Rangers #30 is a ways off from release, due out some time in August, but for now we can continue to drool over these lovely covers. Thanks to Comicbook.com for their exclusive preview.

Thanks to the sleuthing of our good friend Matt Hunt (@TheRealMattHunt) we may have our very first look at the villain for Kamen Rider Build’s as of yet unnamed summer movie.

Rumors began circulating about this upcoming film and it’s contents early this month over on Rangerboard. This image may give us our very first concrete look at the movie. What we have is the supposed villain for the film, rumored to be named “Kamen Rider Science”. Rumors abound about this rider’s identity, but based on this image alone we can tell that he does use the Hazard Trigger in conjunction with a  Cross-Z Dragon repaint to transform. Seemingly bat and or dragon themed, this rider certainly shares a passing resemblance to both Cross-Z and Evol.

Time will tell who this character really is as we swiftly approach actual details being released about the films plot, setting, and characters. For now, let the speculation continue in our permanent Build News & Rumors thread!

While orders may be closing this month for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Ibuki, Bandai has release a fresh set of official images of him on their blog. Although this figure won’t actually be released until August, it looks absolutely stunning in these shots. Perhaps more importantly though, these images give us our first official look at Seihou releases for Kamen Riders Todoroki & Zanki!

Both of these figures have made appearances at previous Tamashii events with Ibuki, though so far he’s the only one of the trio due for release. Could this mean another pair of Oni will be joining our collections soon? We can only hope. We’ll keep you up to date on all of these gorgeous figures when and as more information becomes available.

“It’s Morphin’ Time!”

It’s been a while since we’ve tackled a Legacy release from Bandai, and with their time with the Power Rangers license coming to end, we thought it appropriate to take a look at one of their last high end releases. Making it’s way out to retail currently at Toys R Us (as they go our of business themselves) is the Legacy Zeonizer!

It’s  unfortunate that this collector’s piece is heralding the end of the line, and a retailer, but we wanted to take a look at it while we could. The Legacy Zeonizer is the latest in Bandai’s line of high end prop replicas, and frankly it may be their best effort. A wonderful recreation of the morpher used in Power Rangers Zeo, this collector’s piece features a number of built in light & sound gimmicks including unique Morphin’ call outs and specific colors for each ranger. Of course the icing on the cake is it’s best feature, the ability to play the entire Power Rangers Zeo Opening Theme!

You can check out our full 40 image gallery of the Legacy Zeonizer as well as a full review and breakdown of it’s features by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with a gallery from Kamen Rider Kabuto!

Shout! Factory is set to re-release the entirety of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ 3 season run on a DVD Steelbook in honor of the series 25th anniversary. However, the big surprise and draw of this re-release is that it will also included Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie on Blu-Ray for the first time ever! Fans have eagerly waited for Shout! to have the rights to release the original film and in Blu-Ray form, so this should be welcome news to many.

This massive 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray set will retail for $199.99, available August 7th 2018! Here’s hoping that at some point MMPR The Movie can be released individually as well. Purchasing the set from Shout! Factory’s website will also score you an exclusive 18X24″ lithograph by Paul Shipper. Pre order the set HERE.

“Born Ready. War Ready.”

Last month we took you on a tour of all things Pacific Rim Uprising with a complete look at the line of Robot Spirits figures produced for the film from Tamashii Nations. 6 solid releases, each with it’s own strengths and weaknesses. Gipsy Avenger, Obsidian Fury, Titan Redeemer & Bracer Phoenix, and Guardian Bravo & Saber Athena. Now, we get to add an extra step on that journey with a look a this recent 7-11 Japan Exclusive release, Robot Spirits Gipsy Avenger Clear Blueprint Version!

Blueprint Gipsy Avenger takes a mold we’re very familiar with at this point, an excellent one at that, and recasts the entire thing in gorgeous translucent blue with ice blue accents. Physically the figure functions entirely the same way, but it’s astounding how different and good it can look in these new colors. Equipped with the same Gravity Sling and Chain Sword as the original release, Blueprint Gipsy is a fantastic exclusive that may not be for everyone, but if you love this franchise, it’s a must own.

We’ve put together just over 60 images of this beauty for your viewing pleasure. You can check out out the full gallery and review after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Coming up soon we check out new releases from Kamen Rider Kabuto & Kamen Rider W!

It seems that our belief in Amazon continues to breathe new life into the figure line as well. Up until this point the last Figuarts release for Amazons had been Season 2 Alpha. As of today however, Bandai has officially begun teasing out the release of S.H. Figuarts Crow Amazon and S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Neo Alpha! Teaser images were released through the official Figuarts blog.

Both figures have so far only been teased in silhouette form, but we suspect with the theatrical release of the Amazons Movie just around the corner, that these teasers will be fully revealed soon. As more news and information about these potential releases is made public, we’ll be sure to update you.
