under Godzilla

We’ve known for quite some time that the Shin Godzilla film (or as it’s known in the west Godzilla Resurgence) would feature a creature with mutating forms and abilities. But it wasn’t until last month, when images of vinyls for some of these forms surfaced, that we had any idea what they’d look like. Now thanks to a pair of Figure Oh magazine scans hosted over at Steven’s Toy Blog, we have our first looks at S.H. MonsterArts Shin Godzilla’s 2nd & 3rd Forms!

These seemingly diminutive and oddly colored forms look like very different interpretations of Godzilla than we’ve ever seen. Both are very squat and plump, one featuring a mostly beige color scheme while the others’ red coloration seems to be influenced by the “Poster Art Version” of the 2014 Godzilla Monsterarts figure.

What do you think of these bizarre new forms for the 2016 Godzilla? Right now there’s no concrete release information for either of them, but would you be interested in picking such unique forms up? Let us know in the discussion thread below.

At long last the FINAL Showa Kamen Rider has finally been scheduled for release! Arriving in January 2017 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is the long waited S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J!

Not only completing the trio of Showa Movie Riders from the mid 90’s, Kamen Rider J is also the last of the Showa riders overall to be released as a figuart. Which is really fitting when you consider he was featured in the last Showa Rider production.  J will include two full sets of hands, an additional right hand featuring his signature “J” pose, J’s sidekick grasshopper Berry, and an alternate set of wings for Berry!

Kamen Rider J finally rounds out the Showa era of riders but we’re still missing two Heisei Riders right now (G & Kiva). We wonder how long it will be before those gaps are filled as well. Does J’s release bode well for either of them? What do you think? Time will tell.

Legacy Collection what? It looks like Tamashii Nations is getting in on premium 1:1 scale replicas for a whole new subset of fans, specifically Metal Heroes. We’ve just gotten our first look at the upcoming Tamashii Lab Laser Blade! A lifesize replica of Space Sheriff Gavan’s signature weapon.

This surprising piece looks to be one of the most complex replica weapons Bandai has produced to date. Featuring an IR sensor, the Laser Blade allows you to slide your hand up the blade to “charge” it in the same way that Gavan does for his Gavan Dynamic attack. Whilst doing so the Blade lights up in sequence and plays the appropriate sound effects while also playing the series’ BGM!

The Tamashii Lab Laser Blade is set for January 2017 release for a whopping 16,200 yen. Currently it’s believed to be a Premium Bandai exclusive releases but we don’t have confirmation on that as of yet.

Chou Henshin!

My how time flies, it was only yesterday that S.H. Figuarts was starting to make it’s presence known in the era of Kamen Rider the First/Next & Decade. But the line has evolved in incredible ways since then, so it’s not often we take a step back with it. This month sees the release of Bandai’s latest  premium style renewal with  S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. But before we get our hands on it, we wanted to turn back the clock with this figure from 2010, the original release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form!

A dated figure by today’s standards, the original Kuuga Ultimate Form was actually pretty great. A solid sculpt with intricate paint apps, the then standard diecast feet, Toss in an abnormally decent accessory count, and that made this figuart one of the better releases for it’s day.  But how does it hold up today? We’ve included 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form in the full gallery thread as well as a lengthy reviews detailing the ins & outs of this aging mold.

Consider this gallery prep work for our upcoming look at S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. Just based on official images alone it looks to be one of the most impressive figuarts releases this year. We’ll have the full gallery ready for you in a couple weeks!
