Add another few new reveals to tonight’s round of Figure Oh scans! Up this time is a trio of release!

S.H. Figuarts Garo (Ryuga). The main hero of Garo The One Who Shines in the Darkness, Ryuga will be the first new Garo entry into the S.H. Figuarts line in many years. Seemingly out of the norm from the Makai Kado releases of the last several shows. Ryuga is set for February release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 5940 yen.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Orga is another long abandoned figure we’ve seen on display at several Tamashii Nations events over the years. But it looks like Bandai has finally decided to dust this one off for release. And much like Ryuga above it will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive in February, 5184 yen.

Last but not least we have the second of Kamen Rider Kuuga’s bikes, the S.H. Figuarts Beat Chaser 2000! Beat Chaser looks to be another solid vehicle release from Bandai though we’re sure this one will be lite on the accessories. The Beat Chaser 2000 is set for release in January and as has been the trend tonight it will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Retail is 4968 yen.

While the franchise of the golden knight Garo continues in the form of it’s latest show, Garo Goldstorm, the toyline of this popular franchise continues as well. While new releases tend to be spaced out and are very rarely standard retail ones, we’ve got a brand new surprise reveal headed our way. Slated as an exclusive for release in December is Makai Kado Wicked Bones Knight Giru!

Makai Kado Giru is one of the more fearsome designs in the franchise and makes the jump to toy form wonderfully and will be an excellent companion piece to your Shadow Knight Crow. Makai Kado Giru will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in December for 7560 yen.

A special pre-screening event for the latest Makai Knight project, GARO: Gold Storm took place in Japan recently. We now have several new story details about this project and its television spinoff with the same title:

*The plot of Gold Storm (the movie) will involve Ryuga (the current wearer of GARO) and Makai Priest Rian attempting to cleanse the Golden Armor when they are confronted by living weapons- the Madou– who have another way to free the world from monsters. In the process Ryuga will unlock a new stage of power referred to as Garo Sho.

*The Gold Storm television series will focus on Ryuga & Rian’s efforts to seal away a castle known as Radan. Along the way they will meet a new Makai Priest named Gard and another Makai Knight named Akitsuki Daigo whose intentions are unclear. Gold Storm will also introduce a new Horror named Jinga– played by Inoue Masahiro, the actor famous for playing Kamen Rider Decade!

GARO: Gold Storm (the movie) is set to premiere in theaters on March 28 2015. An exact air date for the TV series is not yet announced so stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

At the annual fan-festival in Japan this weekend, a variety of new projects were announced to celebrate the legendary Golden Knight’s tenth anniversary. With thanks to The Tokusatsu Network for translations:

The cast of Garo: Yami O Terasu Mono (literally The One Who Shines In Darkness) will return for a new film called Gold Storm directed by Garo creator Keita Amemiya, to be released on March 28 2015. This film will serve as a pilot for the newest Garo season, also called Gold Storm.

The cast of recently-concluded season Makai No Hana will return for a sequel film (title and details unconfirmed at the time of writing) and a spinoff film, Biku Yamigirinochi following the mysterious Makai Priestess.

A second season and film project were announced for the animated series Garo: Seal of Flames but no other details are available at this time.

Finally, a special Garo-themed musical project (tentatively titled Makai Opera and also directed by Amemiya) is being developed- release details to be confirmed.

Definitely a bright future for the mighty Golden Knight!
