COUNT THE MEDALS!

Kamen Rider OOO just made his grand debut into the Shinkocchu Seihou line and upon his release, rumors began to spread about a certain red-feathered partner has also been in development. That rumor’s now taken shape in the form of S.H.Figuarts Shinocchu Seihou Ankh.


Of course, this, unfortunately, isn’t Anhk while he’s in the possession of a human body, and while it might be just an arm we can see that he’ll come with a ton of accessories: including the usual assortment of expressive hands, an Ice Candy, a miniature iPhone, a pile of Cell Medals, and finally the Core Medals needed for TaJaDol and TaToBa combos.

All of this can be yours for 3960 yen and will ship out in January 2020. This does not appear to be a P-Bandai exclusive, but we’ll let you know if that changes.

A few months ago, we got word that the next of Bandai’s Super Minipla releases will be from the retro Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan show with a Super Minipla Sun Vulcan Robo in the works, new sketches have been found online, and not only do these sketches give us a good indication of what the finished product could look like, they also confirm that the Jaguar carrier mecha has also entered development. 

Release information for these two are still forthcoming, but we’ll be sure to update you with more info as soon as it becomes available.

Kamen Rider Zero-One represents the end of an era in more ways than one. Seiji Takaiwa is a name that most fans of Tokusatsu will be familiar with. For those unfamiliar: he’s a stunt actor that started with Kamen Rider Black RX as Riderman and has since gone to perform stunt work for every single titular Heisei Kamen Rider with the exception of Kamen Rider Kuuga. He also did stunt work in Super Sentai as various Red Ranger and DragonRanger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.

In an article by Dengeki Hobby, it was confirmed that the legendary suit actor will be passing the torch to Yuya Nawata whom will be performing the suit stunt work for Kamen Rider Zero-One.

Yuya Nawata’s been around the Tokusatsu scene since Kamen Rider Hibiki. Most recently, he performed the suit work for Kamen Rider Geiz in addition to Kamen Rider Cronus and Amazon Neo Alpha.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Takaiwa is retiring just yet but it seems that his involvement with lead roles will lessen somewhat. Kamen Rider Zero-One will be premiering September 1st 2019, we’ll be sure to provide you with more updates on this exciting new entry into the Kamen Rider series. In the meantime, make the jump to our discussion thread and let us know what you think of this latest update.

Yet another exclusive item’s been confirmed for this year’s Tamashii Nation event joining alongside Seihou Diend and Build RabbitDragon whom we had a look at earlier. Now joining the pair is a two-pack featuring S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Zero Strong Corona and Luna Miracle forms.

The two forms were previously done in the now-defunct Ultra-Act line, but they’re recreated here for S.H.Figuarts.

This Two-Pack will retail for 12,100 yen at the event. Accessories include the Ultra Zero Lance and a myriad of optional expressive hands.

LET’S ROCKET!

Our friends at Hasbro are showing no signs of stopping the Lightning Collection hype train any time soon! Just last week, they revealed a Lightning Collection two-pack containing the Lost Galaxy Red Ranger and the villainous Psycho Red from Power Rangers in Space, and it was just recently revealed that his fellow Psycho Ranger: Psycho Blue will be joining the ranks.

As you might recall, we first caught wind of a Lightning Collection Psycho Blue Ranger thanks to a solicitation that was found on a computer at EB Games Canada back in early January. Tthough it hasn’t been confirmed at the time of this writing, the safe assumption will be that this figure will likely be a retailer exclusive to GameStop/EB Games.

None the less, we can expect Lightning Collection Psycho Blue to retail for $19.99 USD or $32.99 Canadian with a supposed release sometime in the fall.

S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Taiga will be joining the December batch of Tamashii Nations mass retail releases. He will include four sets of swappable hands and an alternate color timer. All of this will retail for a low cost of 3250 yen.
