Here’s something a bit different, and more akin to the third party offerings many Transformers fans have access to these days. 1000 Toys is a company largely known for their excellent 1/12 Scale TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Humans, which you can order from our site sponsor BBTS using that link. Now they’re taking a stab in a different direction with some figures heavily inspired by Super Sentai & Kamen Rider!

These new Synthetic Human sublines, “Nextman Synth” & “Knight of Synth” share the same basic engineering as the Heavy Industries figures, with a little toku sensibility mixed in. The seemingly rider themed Nextman figures are named Cyclone, Fusion, & Future. Each retailing for $80 USD. Their pizza themed sentai-inspired heroes are also on display. These guys appear to be based on figures originally created by Youtube pairing Toy Pizza. You may also be familiar with the Mecha Zone Pizzanuats figures based on these designs. The green knight is Lime, red is Brick, blue is Teal, and the black one is Death Knight. Each of these is also $80 USD.

Tamashii Nations Shanghai is in full swing! You may recall that a couple months back we heard our first confirmation that Bandai/Tamashii Nations had finally acquired the license to produce toys for the Pacific Rim franchise. At the time the only offering previewed was a rough prototype of the Soul of Chogokin Gypsy Danger. But as of today we can get excited about one more upcoming product as well!

Shown off for the first time is the brand new Robot Damashii Gypsy Avenger from Pacific Rim 2! This successor to the original Gypsy Danger, piloted by the son of Stacker Pentecost, is so far the first product revealed for the highly anticipated sequel. But we’re sure it’s far form the last. For now this release doesn’t have any confirmed release details this far out from the films release on February 23rd, 2018, but we’ll certainly keep you updated as more details become available this year!

Now, let’s cancel the apocalypse!

Stop the presses because a comic book company has a comic book exclusive at a comic convention! Hidden amongst the throngs of fans that will undoubtedly stand in long lines for a chance at a valuable convention toy exclusive, BOOM! Studios – the makers of the beloved and critically acclaimed Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic book series – have revealed their upcoming exclusives for San Diego Comic Con 2017!

This four piece connected set that pays homage to the classic Jim Lee cover of the launch of the original second X-Men comic book series (titled “X-Men” instead of “Uncanny X-Men”) will be available in four different covers – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #17, Go Go Power Rangers #1 (A), Go Go Power Rangers #1 (B), and the 2017 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Annual. You can also purchase the gatefold version (all four connected together, physically) for a solid benjamin ($100).

Each comic will cost $20 (so $80 to complete the 4 cover set or $180 to get everything total) and is available at the BOOM! Studios booth 2229 at San Diego Comic Con. Be sure to follow us here, on our Twitter and Instagram accounts, as well as on Facebook as we will be attending the show with live coverage all week and weekend long!

San Diego Comic Con is less than a month away and thanks to the official San Diego Comic Con website, we have our first look at the upcoming exclusives from Bandai America.

First up – the very first Power Rangers Zeo Legacy item! It’s time for a Gold Rush as you will look stylish and sleek sporting your brand new 14K(ish) gold plated communicator. The Power Rangers Zeo Legacy Gold Ranger Communicator will be available at the show for $100, but will easily be worth thousands of dollars within moments of landing in someone’s hands because this is the only item worth purchasing at the entire convention this summer. And if you end up one spot in line ahead of me and you get a guaranteed ticket and I’m stuck with a raffle I am liable to put you on a voodoo doll when I return home, obviously in tears, because the greatest convention exclusive of all time didn’t land in my hands. Is it natural to salivate in a news story about a toy?

For the Power Rangers Movie fans, a Legacy Movie Megazord figure will be available to purchase for $40. As of this time, we are unsure what differences this has from the original figure assembled with the Legacy Power Rangers Movie figures from earlier this year.

Finally, a Tokyo Vinyl Black and Gold Megazord figure will be available for $60.

More information on these exclusives, as well as their availability (as always they will be limited), will be released soon. Stay tuned for more updates!
