Am0ng their reveals for November Tamashii Webshop exclusives, Bandai have surprisingly announced a Figuarts ZERO version of the ever popular Dragon Ranger from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger (or if you’d prefer, the Green Ranger from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)!
This non-poseable statue features the character in his Zyusouken playing pose, with Dragon Ranger standing atop a rocky display base. It will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in November for the price of 4860 yen.
Ahead of their usual announcements for the coming months, Bandai Tamashii Nations have revealed an S.H. Figuarts New Cyclone motorcycle as a mass release for October! Better still is the further reveal that it will be released in two forms – both as a separate release and in a 2-pack with the previously released Kamen Rider 1 (New Version). The single pack release also features alternate colouring from the 2-pack version, offering buyers two alternatives for their classic Kamen Riders!
The 2-pack will retail for 7560 yen, while the bike alone will be 4563 yen. Joining them that month will also be a reissue of Kamen Rider 2 (New Version), retailing for 3024 yen!
So if you’ve been looking to grab these two figures or ready to add a new bike to your S.H. Figuarts collection, don’t miss out!

Today proves to be a big news day for the Power Rangers franchise as Saban Brands announces partnership with Lionsgate for a Power Rangers live-action feature film.
No specific details of the project are mentioned in the press release, other than that “the new film franchise will re-envision the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world.”
The release continues to say:
“Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” said Saban. “They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from The Hunger Games to Twilight and Divergent. In partnership with the Lionsgate team, we’re confident that we will capture the world of the Power Rangers and translate it into a unique and memorable motion picture phenomenon with a legacy all its own.”
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with Haim Saban and his team to maximize the potential of this immensely successful and universally recognized franchise,” said Feltheimer. “The Power Rangers stories and characters have been embraced by generations of audiences for more than 20 years, and today they are more powerful than ever. We have the ideal partner and the perfect brand with which to create a motion picture event that will resonate with moviegoers around the world for years to come.”
