Last weekend was WonderCon 2023 and our very own @Exastiken was in attendance to cover the show.  With special thanks to Bandai and Team Kamen Rider, we were given an exclusive hands-on look at the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Buffa figure from the hit series Kamen Rider Geats.

Check out the articulated details throughout the entirety of the figure.  Fans who ordered him will no-doubt be pleased with their purchase.

Unfortunately, orders are currently closed for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Buffa so you will have to grab one on the after-market when it releases.

Check out our YouTube channel for a shorts for Part 02!

While Ohkuwagata Ohger has just had his reveal on Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, the character is already receiving his own YouTube special.  Toei has announced a free YouTube special featuring Ohkuwagata Ohger scheduled to debut on April 23rd, 2023.

There’s not much more to say without spoiling the character’s identity.  Check out an included picture for the identity reveal.

Today, BOOM! Studios – the publisher of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book – announced a brand new series written by former and original Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger herself – Amy Jo Johnson and her partner, Director Matt Hotson.  The series is scheduled to release later this year as part of the Power Rangers 30 celebration.

While Amy Jo Johnson states it was hard to keep this project a secret, she also stated on her panel at Emerald City Comic Con in December of 2021 that her and Matt Hotson had pitched a story idea to BOOM! Studios for a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic series.  She shared brief story details – essentially that it would follow the current day events of our favorite heroes some 30 years later – at the time of her original announcement.

Amy Jo Johnson also states this is her contribution to the 30th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and is one of many reasons she overlooked returning to the show for the upcoming reunion special.

The current Super Sentai series airing in Japan – Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger – is in full swing and winning over the hearts of fans.  And thanks to some magazine scans we have our first look at an upcoming villain character – Ohkuwagata Ohger!

This gray version of Kuwagata Ohger (Red) is shown fighting our new favorite villainous King and fans are speculating on his very-likely identity (we won’t mention it here to avoid spoilers for those who haven’t watched yet).

We want to note – Ohkuwagata Ohger should not be considered a traditional sixth as that character will be, according to previous leaks, spider-themed.

Can’t wait to see this play out in the show!

(NOTE:  The existence of Ohkuwagata Ohger was originally revealed accidentally in a plushie listing weeks ago)
