As the preorder windows for Bandai’s new July figures (Original appearance Kamen Rider 1 and Shocker Combatant) are about to open, Bandai have announced that the previous figures will be joining them that month for a second run!
Kamen Rider V3 will be reissued in July, priced at 3150 yen. Joining him will be Ultra Act Zoffy, priced at 3360 yen. Check out the official images after the jump!
Along with the news of Kyoryu Gold and Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity Style, the latest wave of magazine scans have revealed more news about the forthcoming Kamen Rider x Super Sentai x Space Sheriffs: Super Hero Taisen Z movie!
While many were recently fooled by a fake image of a unique mecha combination for the movie, these scans confirm that Kyoryuzin and the WizarDragon will be able to combine using the power of the Super Sentai and Miracle Rings. This combination gives Kyoryuzin the ability to use the Zyuden Brave Strike End kick!
In other news Kyoryu Gold will appear in the film, teaming up with Kamen Rider Beast. The scans also include team up images of Wizard, Kyoryu Red, Beast and Yellow Buster teaming up against Space Shocker enemies.
Super Hero Taisen Z will premiere in Japanese cinemas on April 27. Check out the full sized images after the jump!

As Kamen Rider Wizard enters its second half, new magazine scans have revealed more images and info of his forthcoming final form – Infinity Style!
Haruto uses the Infinity Ring to change into this form, which is created from his wish to protect everyone as he sheds a tear. Infinity Style is equipped with shining armor, and the weapon Axcalibur. The Axcalibur is made of WizarDragon himself, brimming with magical power. Only Infinity Style is able to use the Axcalibur, because of the amount of magical power it contains. It has two different modes, Axe mode and Calibur mode.
When it’s in Axe mode, the Axcalibur can change in size in order to activate the special attack, Dragon Shining.
Check out the magazine scans after the jump. Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity Style will debut on the show this April!

Following on from the earlier news of the Power Rangers Lost Galaxy suits seen during the Power Rangers Super Megaforce filming, another picture has surfaced on instagram of the Megaforce rangers alongside a Gormin foot soldier from Gokaiger!
Is this visual confirmation that the Goseiger suits will remain throughout Super Megaforce? Discuss after the jump!
Filming for the second half of the 20th anniversary Power Rangers series, Power Rangers Super Megaforce, is underway and what exactly this half-season will contain is still being widely speculated. We’ve been told it will be adapted from Super Sentai series Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, however to what lengths is still unknown.
Twitter user @donas007 has posted a picture from filming that reveals the Wild Force Black Ranger at the scene. Will he be a “guest ranger” appearing or is this simply more proof that the Megaforce rangers will gain the ability to morph into past rangers? Speculate away!

EDIT: More Super Megaforce hints have come in the form of yellow ranger actress Ciara Hanna posting a picture of herself with Red Jungle Fury Ranger actor Jason Smith on Instagram! Meanwhile, red ranger actor Andrew Grey posted his own backstage picture, showing off the V-Weapons from Power Rangers Time Force.
Nick.com have provided fans with a preview of tomorrow’s Power Rangers Megaforce episode “Harmony and Dizchord“. A monster is rocking some brain splitting music all across the city and it’s up to the Power Rangers to turn off the screech!
For those outside the US and unable to view the clip on Nick, the guys over at the Rangercrew blog have uploaded the clip to Youtube. Check it out below!
And be sure to join us over in the Power Rangers Megaforce forum tomorrow for the weekly episode discussion!
The official press conference for Akibaranger season 2 has just happened in Japan and thanks to both Tokunation member DrillBIT and DecaEnd of Henshin Justice Unlimited we bring you a full run down of what was revealed!
It’s been roughly 9 months since season one. Akagi is back to his old habits, spending his days working as deliveryman with no joy. One day he walks past a shop specializing in Sentai toys. He enters and sees that the MMZ-01 is being sold as an official toy called the DX AkibaLaser! Did the Akibarangers turn into official heroes without knowing it themselves? What could this possibly mean? Could something have happened to the real official heroes!?
Meanwhile, Luna Iwashimizu, a schoolgirl who hopes to become an idol has been appointed as the new Akiba Blue, as Mitsuki has left to pursue her martial arts training. Yumeria returns as Akiba Yellow, but no longer works as a business woman.
The new villain this time is General Two (played by Ryo Horikawa), who leads the “New Dimensional Intellect Remodeling Underground True Empire of Baros lol” (新次元頭脳改造地下真帝国バロスｗ, baros and ‘w’ are both very similar to the English lol). The name is a combination of the villain organizations from Bioman, Jetman, Flashman, Maskman and Dynaman.
General Two is middle-aged Sentai villain fanboy. His favourite is General Kar from Dynaman, basing both his name and suit on him. He creates figures of monsters and sends the into Delusion World. Malshina seems to have joined the True Empire of Baros lol, and uses a Moya Moya Z-Cune.
Some further tidbits from the conference include:
The new opening theme is named “Akibaranger Season Two” and is sung by Haruko Momoi, Yukio Yamagata and MoJo.
Check the images from the conference after the jump!
Thanks to the ever insightful DrillBIT we have news of the forthcoming S.H. Figuarts for Akibaranger season 2!
First we have confirmation via a Bandai press release that S.H. Figuarts Super Akiba Red will be released in June, priced at 3675 yen! His teammates Akiba Blue and Akiba Yellow are tentatively set to be released in July for the same price.
Also revealed via this pdf were the Japanese release details of S.H. Figuarts Dragonranger and Tyrannoranger from Zyuranger! It is assumed both will have some relation to the Akibaranger figure releases, however what exactly this will be is currently unconfirmed. Dragonranger is tentatively due for release in June, while Tyrannoranger will be released the following month in July – both again priced 3675 yen.
Finally DrillBIT brings us some unconfirmed news of other Figuarts seen in the Akibaranger PV seen at today’s press release. Among those seen were Black Condor and Blue Swallow of Jetman, Deka Yellow of Dekaranger and Bouken Pink of Boukenger! This is the first news of a Blue Swallow figuart, and the first news of a release date for Bouken Pink (who has been seen alongside her team members at various events).
In non-Figuart merchandise news, a Twitter user has leaked that Malshina’s MMZ will be released, and is named the MoyaMoya Z-Cune. However further details are still unconfirmed.
You can check out images of the three Akibaranger Figuarts after the jump!
Thanks to Amazon.co.jp, we have a look at the DVD cover for the forthcoming Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters VS Dobutsu Sentai Go-Busters V-cinema release!
