under Kamen Rider, San Diego Comic Con

This year is going to be a very special San Diego Comic Con.  For starters, it’ll be the return of the largest geek and pop culture convention in the world after the global pandemic of 2020 and most of 2021.  But for fans of Kamen Rider it will also showcase the premiere of the Kamen Rider Zero One: REALxEYES movie!  Fans attending San Diego Comic Con 2021 (November 27th 2021) will be able to watch the premiere in-person!

For those unable or unwilling to do the convention scene, Tokushoutsu has announced the movie will be available to stream in January 2022 on Tokushoutsu.

Along with Kamen Rider Zero-One.

HYPE.

On Tuesday, October 12th 2021 it was shared via Hasbro that Brian Goldner, CEO of Hasbro from 2008-2021, had passed away after his battle with prostate cancer.  Just days prior, Brian Goldner had stepped down from his role of CEO to take an indefinite medical leave.  The heavy reality of it all is finally sinking in.

Brian Goldner‘s ties to Power Rangers takes us back to the time period around Power Rangers In Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.  At that time, Brian Goldner worked at Bandai (1997ish).  Those ties to the brand helped lead to Hasbro’s decision to purchase the Power Rangers brand from Saban Brands and Haim Saban in 2018.

Please watch the video below as we remember Brian Goldner, the late CEO of Hasbro.

Kamen Rider Build‘s first episode is now available on YouTube with English subtitles.  That’s it.

That’s the story.

Kamen Rider Build is a fan-favorite series and, admittedly, one of my personal favorites.  Hopefully the series will be available to watch in its entirety someday without the need to find it via unofficial avenues.

under Conventions, General Tokusatsu News, New York Comic Con

We’re at New York Comic Con 2021!  Earlier this year, Tamashii Nations announced a brand new line in their S.H. Figuarts line of products – the Tech-On Avengers!  These high-tech Marvel superheroes are inspired by tokusatsu (so Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman, etc.).

We have our first in-person look at the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Tech-On Iron Man figure!  Check it out!

under Conventions, New York Comic Con, Power Rangers

We’re at this year’s New York Comic Con!  The convention scene is back, although a bit muted with the United States just coming down from a pandemic-high late summer/early fall.  Because of such, vendors didn’t bring their A game (and some didn’t bring a game at all).

Diamond Select Toys has their upcoming Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legends Red Ranger NYCC Exclusive Bust on display.  We took a couple of images and you can see them in the story.

You can pre-order it via BigBadToyStore here.

Check it out!

  • 7 inch Lost Galaxy Megazord Figure
  • 7 inch Ninja Storm Ninjakon Figure
