DIC Entertainment’s infamous Power Ranger-wannabe series “Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills” is finally headed to DVD!
The entire 40 episode series will be available on 4 discs for the very reasonable price of 12.98 USD.
The latest news story on TVAshi features an interesting new venture buy Toei- a pay channel on US networks that will air several types of tokusatsu and anime programs.
While initial broadcasts will air raw programs, Toei will consider adding English sups to their programs after the first year if the channel proves successful.
This could be a fantastic new opportunity for toku fans to actually watch streaming shows with the first-ever licensed subtitles in the history of Toei Entertainment.
Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!
The massive “Power Rangers Legacy: The First 20 Years” DVD boxset at last has a price tag and release window!!
This wonderful 98-disc Shout! Factory release will be available starting Tuesday, September 10th with orders opening at 1pm Eastern Standard Time. The price is a steep $650 USD but free shipping is available to continental US buyers (sadly the set will NOT be available for those outside the United States).
The set is limited to only 2000 units, so any interested buyers should set their calendars for next Tuesday and check Shout! Factory’s main site when the time comes!
Thanks to member FuryDiamond for the heads-up!
The Rising Sun Tokusatsu Blog has posted an early preview of Hyper Hobby Magazine’s interview with Gen Urobuchi, the lead writer in charge of Kamen Rider Gaim.
Several tidbits about this upcoming Kamen Rider project were revealed in discussion, including:
*Gaim will abandon the two-episode story format used by every Kamen Rider series since Den-O.
*Production of the series was delayed in order to put together a short anniversary tribute to the Hesei Era.
*Urobuchi intends to maintain a more dramatic portrayal of Kamen Rider; comparing Gaim to early Hesei Riders like Kuuga or Faiz.
Were Urubuchi’s efforts successful? Tune in October 6th to find out!
Hot on the heels of the Lost Driver comes W’s seventh memory- FANG!
This rare Gaia Memory gadget allows W to transform into FangJoker when used with the previously released W Driver (sold separately of course).
Complete Selection Fang Memory will be released in December for 6300 Yen. Orders open at the end of the month!
Bluefin has apparently decided to open its own online storefront for future releases!
At the moment the merchandise offered is minimal aside from some remaining San Diego Comic-Con exclusives- including the SH Figuarts Samurai Sentai Shinkenger figure pack!
Buyers interested in future Tamashii releases should probably keep an eye on this new page for early deals. :)
Thanks to member OPTICS for the heads-up!
The Bluefin/Tamashii Twitter account has confirmed that SH Figuarts Armored TyrannoRanger will be released in October in the United States, a full month ahead of the previously-reported Japanese schedule!
It appears the US buyers have provided a much-needed boost to Figuarts sales with the previous Zyuranger releases and Bluefin probably hopes to keep the profit margins up. :)
The good people at RangerCrew have noticed the removal of Shout! Factory’s “Season 2, Volume 2” VR Troopers product listing from Amazon.com and expects cancellation emails to be sent out in the near future.
Coupled with previous reports from Shout! Factory about unsatisfactory sales figures for VR Troopers and Big Bad Beetleborgs means that home releases of both final sets is unlikely at this point. :(
The Super Imaginative Chogokin series is celebrating its 15th anniversary soon, and to honor the occasion a special new version of Kamen Rider 1 (also known as Kamen Rider Ichigo) in its most iconic and show-accurate colorscheme.
Price and release details to be determined; stay tuned to this page for further information! :)
