In case you missed it, some big news regarding next year’s Super Sentai show’s next year came out. Since then, the rumor mill’s begun churning.

Some unconfirmed rumors have appeared on Tokuinsider via J-Hero. Do note that at the time of this write-up, nothing has been confirmed by Toei or any official channels. So until we hear otherwise from them, please take this with an injection of salt. None the less, the rumors are as follows:

-Both Patoranger and Lupinranger will count as the 42nd Sentai.

-The two shows are both separate works, and the same show, with intersecting storylines that take place in the same world. The shows will air alternately from week to week, and when each reaches episode 20, the show will become one solidified story.

-The toy line will essentially be separate until this joining happens, with the 4th quarter toys able to combine and interact.

-One of the members of Lupinranger is actually an undercover spy for Patoranger. It is likely this cast member will be prominently featured on both shows.

Again, none of this has been 100% confirmed by Toei or another official channel. These rumors could likely be fake, so do take them with a grain of salt until we hear from a more reliable and official source.

In case you missed it, Bandai’s Super Minipla line was gearing up to release the big carrier Zord himself: Super Minipla King Brachion/Titanus . We finally have our first look at the fully completed prototype with photos and release info coming straight from the All Japan Model Hobby Show.

While we don’t have any photos of the combined Ultra Zord mode, we do have an idea of when Bandai plans to release this bad boy: pre-orders for this model kit will begin in October and will ship sometime in January 2018. The cost of all this plastic? A whopping 12,960 yen before any shipping fees.

COUNT THE MEDALS!

Bandai’s finally gearing up to release one of its S.I.C Hero Saga designs to the public, with new images for that awesome S.I.C Hexa OOO(Formally known as Boss) and pricing having just been released. The figure seems to have been given a number of revisions, as he looks mighty different since the last we saw him.

S.I.C Hexa OOO will see release as a Hyper Hobby Online Shop limited item. Pre-Orders will begin September 25th and will run until November 13th, 2017 with a final release date of May 2018. Hexa OOO will run you 9,180 yen before shipping and middleman fees.

For those of you who may be wondering just who the heck Hexa OOO is; he was created specifically for the Kamen Rider OOO portion of S.I.C Hero Saga, and only existed as a custom piece till now, he was created from Greeds using Core Medals representing Shocker, Gel Shocker, Destron GOD, and Garanda Empire. It isn’t uncommon for S.I.C Hero Saga exclusives to see the light of day; last time we saw a Hero Saga exclusive character getting released was Kamen Rider Garren King Form back in 2015.

FUSION UP!

As you may recall, an S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Geed Primitive Form was rumoured to have been in develoupment, thanks to a little blurb that was contained in the instruction manual for one of Ultraman Orb’s Figuarts, we finally have our first look at the figure thanks to Bandai’s most recent Tamashii Pick Up announcement with his only accessory being shown thus far being an effect piece to represent his Wrecking Burst finishing move.

In addition to that, we have the S.H.Figuarts Shocker Combatman Renewal utilizing the new body that was first seen at Tamashii Nations World Tour Taipei. Shown to include two weapons: a knife, and a staff as part of his accessory count.

Both figures will be released at mass retail as part of the February batch of releases, the price point has yet to be announced as of this writing but we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as that info is made available. Until then, stay tuned and join the discussion after the jump.

As if Kamen Rider Climax Fighters wasn’t enough, Bandai Namco Games is producing a second Kamen Rider game: Kamen RIder City Wars for IOS and Android devices. Bandai’s just released the 2nd preview trailer with our first look at how the game will play.

Judging by the trailer, Kamen Rider City Wars appears to be a city builder type game but with the unique addition of a turn based strategy RPG battle system. The game looks to feature every main titular Rider: from Ichigo all the way up to Build.

Still no word on the release date as of yet, but stay tuned and we’ll bring you more info as it becomes available. In the meantime, check out the trailer below:

Rounding out our trio of Zyuranger Minipla releases, Bandai’s Candy Toy blog was just updated with our first look at the Super Minipla King Brachion/Titanus!

No release info was provided in this post given that it’s still clearly in early development. But given that his size and price point matches that of Super Minipla’s King J-Der from GaoGaiGar, we can expect this to be a potential Premium Bandai with a similar price tag of 10,000 yen.

In case you missed it Bandai Namco’s forthcoming melee brawler game: Kamen Rider Climax Fighters was just picked up for Asia Localization, which means the chances that we’ll see a Kamen Rider game with sub and English text is very likely.

Here are the details for the game as posted by gematsu:

 

  • Game Point: Kamen Rider Techniques – Become stronger by mastering the individual techniques of each Rider.
