Well, Bandai is certainly wasting no time with these S.H.Figuarts Ultraman R/B releases. Earlier, Bandai announced that we weren’t getting just one, or two S.H.Figuarts Ultraman R/B figures but FOUR with the announcement of Rosso Fire, Rosso Wind, along with Blu Water and Blue Ground. and tie it all together: we have a tease banner showing out first look at S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Orb Dark!

S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Orb Dark appears to have been added to the Tamashii Nations batch of exclusives, so, for now, we don’t really know if Bandai plans on releasing this one outside of events. Either way, S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Orb Dark will cost about 5,980 yen. 

As always,  be sure to stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll bring you more updated info on this piece as it becomes available.

In case you missed it, the Rider Kicks Figure lineup is a new budget action figure series from Bandai. We’ve previously seen the crew of Kamen Rider Build done up in this form factor, but now here’s our first look at the main Rider himself: RKS Kamen Rider Zi-O!

RKS Kamen Rider Zi-O will be releasing in September for 2160 yen.

SELECT, CRYSTAL!

Bandai was certainly quick to hop aboard the S.H.Figuarts Ultraman R/B train this year, here are our first teaser images for the S.H.Figaurts Ultraman R/B line.

Four Figuarts were shown: S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Flame, S.H.Figuarts Blu Water, S.H.Figuarts Rosso Wind, and finally S.H.Figuarts Blu Ground along with what appears to be personalized Tamashii Act stage stands to correspond with each Ultraman form.

The four will be released at Mass retail, Rosso Flame and Blu Aqua will come out December 2018 while Ground and Wind will come out January it’s unclear if the stands will be included as part of the accessory count or as a first run pre order bonus of some kind. 

Of course, this is all merely speculative based on what little information we currently have available. Stay tuned to Tokunation, and we’ll be sure to give you more up to date info as soon as it becomes available.

Kamen Rider Build might be winding down but Bandai isn’t showing signs of stopping the full bottle train any time soon.

Reservations will begin July 29 2018 and will close August 27. the DX Blizzard Knuckle & North Blizzard Full Bottle set will retail for a mere 3,888 yen and will ship out appropriately in December 2018.

Super Minipla is showing no signs of slowing down! As you might recall, Super Minipla Gridman and God Zenon were both confirmed to be on the way just a few days ago. To top it all off, Bandai’s given us our first look at Super Minipla Dyna Dragon at Sumer Wonder Festival. 

The model is still in its early stages of development so it’s difficult to really say when this kit will come out or for how much. We can only assume that this bad boy will be able to combine with Gridman proper to create King Gridman.

As always, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll bring you more updates on this exciting new figure as it becomes available,

UPDATE:

Upon further investigating, the Gridman shown next to Dyna Dragon appears to be Gridman Sigma, the lead protagonist from a Gridman show that never aired or made it into production until the 2015 short: Gridman Dawn of a new hero.

It’s a double whammy of SSSS Gridman merch today. We’ve seen Goodsmile take on Studio Trigger’s SSSS Gridman but now Megahouse will be throwing their hat into the ring as well with the ActiBuilder SSSS Gridman line up.

Unlike the big boy Goodsmile is working on, Megahouse’s Actibuilder SSSS Gridman appears to be going in the opposite direction by releasing these designs in a much smaller scale. We can only assume that from the name, Gridman can combine with his auxiliary machines but unfortunately there isn’t much to go on aside from the impressive display MegaHouse has for this action figure line at Wonder Festival, at this time we aren’t exactly sure what this toy line will end up being. 

Stay tuned though, and we’ll provide you more up to date info as it becomes available.

With the release of Studio Trigger’s SSSS Gridman Anime drawing near, we’ve seen a slew of Gridman related merch coming out of the woodwork. It’s Summer Wonder Festival right now, and Goodsmile just revealed their take on a DX SSSS Gridman based on the new hero’s design.

We can only assume that this means Goodsmile plans on releasing this Gridman figure together with his auxiliary vehicles but for now, there doesn’t seem to be much info to go so we can’t be sure if this is part of a preexisting Goodsmile line or it’s own thing entirely. For now, enjoy this picture  of a finished sample piece taken at the convention and we’ll be sure to bring you more up to date info as it becomes available.

In case you were let down by the S.H.Figuarts version of the Manga Ultraman character, Bandai may have an alternative for you with the recently revealed Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman B-Type model kit.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the Figure-Rise Standard series: it’s a line of model kits that you build and sticker yourself ala Gundam or Minipla. The Figure-Rise Standard kits covers characters that are outside of the Gundam franchise, in the past we’ve seen a handful of Kamen Riders and Dragon Ball characters done up in this line. Figure Rise Standard Ultraman B Type is 1/12 scale so it shouldn’t look too badly when standing next to your S.H.Figuarts collection.

Accessories with this kit will include optional hand parts, effect parts, a big cannon, and an LED light that can switch from blue to red. All of this can be yours for 4500 yen and will see a release in November 2018.

In case you missed it: Kamen Rider Zi-O will be Toei’s new Kamen Rider show that will be replacing Kamen Rider Build in the coming months. We’ve seen plenty of the titular rider’s suit design thanks to promotional images that have been coming out, but Toei’s finally released photos of what the actual in-show physical of this design will look like in addition to some more promotional material and the show’s logo.
