Though we’ve seen official images and display pieces of the final production S.H. Figuarts Tridoron, Bandai has just treated us with a special look at this upcoming vehicle with a look at the earlier stage of the production process.

These S.H. Figuarts Tridoron images give us an idea of what an unpainted sample/prototype looks like mid production. It’s an interesting set of photos for sure. What’s more interesting perhaps is that these photos reveal is an accessory previously only listed on Tridoron’s order page as “replacement body parts”. In actuality it’s a new flat tire mid-section replacement for Drive’s back, one that allows him to sit back flat against the seat of Tridoron!

This is definitely one heck of an interesting look at one of the more hotly anticipated Figuarts releases for 2015.

Revealed and already available for order via the Tamashii Web Shop is yet another entry into Bandai’s recent Kikaider subline of S.H. Figuarts!

The personal ride of Kikaider 01, the S.H. Figuarts Double Machine is a successor to the original Kikaiders Side Machine. A rather fantastic design, though most definitely one straight out of the 70’s, the Double Machine will fit right in with your growing Kikaider collection. It’ll most certainly fit in with mine! It looks like the only included accessories this go around will be a repeat of the last 2 Kikaider themed vehicles, spare handle bars and a set of optional licensed decals!

S.H. Figuarts Double Machine will be released in September for 7560 yen via the Tamashii Web Shop. Get with your web exclusive middleman to secure a pre-order today!

4/23 Update – New clear image of this figure showing a close up of the details!

In a turn of events that has surprised many, we’ve officially learned which rider will be Bandai’s next entry in the high end Shinkochu Seiho subline of S.H. Figuatrts. Following on from Kabuto, Hibiki, Kuuga, & Agito is none other than the destroyer of worlds, Kamen Rider Decade!

At this time we’ve yet to receive confirmation on release date and pricing but the prototype image shown gives us our first look at this new version of Kamen Rider Decade. Already a vast improvement on the original S.H. Figuarts Decade release, we can’t wait to find out what accessories this second attempt at the figure comes with!

The power is on once again as TokuNation showcases another in it’s ongoing series of toy galleries focusing on the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie! We’ve taken a look at 5 figures so far in Bandai of America’s Power Rangers 5″ Legacy Line for the film and today we’re taking a look at the last of the 5 core rangers, the Legacy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie Yellow Ranger!

As with our previously reviewed Movie Rangers this figure marks the first time ever that the Movie Yellow Ranger has been portrayed properly in toy form. While nicely detailed the articulation is a mixed bag though the accessories partially make up for this. The Legacy Movie Yellow Ranger specifically comes with her Power Blaster sidearm as well as a holster for it. In addition to this is the movie exclusive Power Beam helmet! Allowing Aisha to shine bright head lamps from the Sabretooth Tiger’s eyes the toy replicates the look of this alternate helmet, without the lights of course. We break down the ins and outs of this figure, both positive & negative, in the review after the jump.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post but the full gallery thread contains over 50 images of this highly anticipated new figure.  Be sure to check out the images & full review, with more than a few fun bonuses included. We return later this week with the FINAL gallery in this series, the Legacy Movie White Ranger!

While we’ve had little to go on up to this point other than a trademark filing, we finally have our first look at Tsuburaya’s upcoming production Ultraman X!

Though we don’t have information on the plot and characters of the series yet, you can infer from the teaser that Spark Dolls may still play a role and what appears to be some form of collectible cards may as well. An armored power up for our titular hero Ultraman X as well as franchise favorite kaiju Gomora are also shown.

We’ll keep you up to date as more information becomes available about this upcoming series!

After some blurry images made the rounds just a few days ago, we have our first clear look at the upcoming 3rd quarter releases for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!

DX Lion Ha Oh – in both it’s Castle mode and individual robot mode. This new images shows us that Ha Oh indeed has small pilot of the same type as Shinobimaru, albeit smaller. It can ride atop the castle mode as well as pilot Lion Ha Oh’s robot mode from the mouth of the lion.

DX Chouzetsu Changer – allows for transformation to Chouzetsu Akaninger.

DX EX Otomonin Dinomaru – a remold of the DX Paonmaru figure flipped around so that the head of Dinomaru is on the rear end of the mold. Eqiupped with a drill tail this figure can also assume it’s own unique robot mode very much like Paonmaru’s. And can alternatively combine with Shurikenjin to form Dino Shurikenjin .

Ahead of it’s July release, Premium Bandai has just shown off a display copy of their upcoming Super Sentai Artisan Shinobimaru!

This highly poseable recreation of Shinobimaru is a full on replacement for the standard DX toy that can take it’s place in the set of the combined Shurikenjin. Though it can’t replicate Shinobimaru’s arm mode it’s incredibly faithful robot mode and articulation has piqued the interest of many collectors.

Super Sentai Artisan Shinobimaru orders will remain open through May 8th, and it will retail for 5378 yen upon release!

under Power Rangers

After what seems like a rather long time without any updates for the forthcoming 2016 Power Rangers film reboot, some new information has finally surfaced!

According to The Wrap, Saban Brands & Lionsgate Entertainment are currently eyeing and in fact are in negotiations with director Dean Israelite to helm the film! Israelite’s most recent project, likely his most recognizable to the public, is the time travel “found footage” thriller The Almanac Project. 

Does this news make you hopeful for the forthcoming film? How does it affect your likelihood of seeing it? Let us know in the comments!

As is usual these rumors come from the reliable dukemon22, currently posted up over at Rangerboard.com. We can’t yet confirm the validity of this info at this time so take this information as rumor, but this sound very very promising.

DX LionHaOh (9800 yen): A large castle type mecha with a Lion motif piloted by Akaninger Chouzetsu (see below for that one). When Shurikenjin & Bison King combine with it Shurikenjin indeed sits in the throne like the Otomonin! Combined form is named HaOh Shurikenjin.

Shoubu Chozetsu Changer (Battle Transcendance Changer): Allows Akaninger to become Akaninger Chouzetsu. A fully armored soldier form with castle like features as well. Aoninger & Kininger can also access this form. The changer is wrist worn & apparently includes a Lion type Shuriken and another with the kanji for “Shoubu” on it. The Changer can combine with the Ichibantou to form the Ichiban Shoubu Gatana.

Otomin Series EX DinoMaru (3800 yen): And orange Dinosaur type remold of Paonmaru with a drill for a tail. Exclusive to the Ninninger summer movie, it combines to form Dino Shurikenjin.
