By now you know that Kanpai Senshi After V will be a Super Sentai parody in the same vein as the awesome Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger. It follows the Golden Warriors Treasure V in their off time exploits of drinking and palling around after a long day of fighting villains for justice.
Well it looks like our 5 main heroes weren’t the first and only ones to protect their world! Revealed today is the veteran hero of the team, the appropriately named, Treasure Gold! Treasure Gold will be played by Kintaro Hara who doesn’t appear to have any previous toku roles to his credit.
Also some additional scans from the upcoming series have surfaced showing the Treasure V members hanging out and having drinks, doing karaoke, and just generally having fun after hours. We also get our first good look at the henshin brace used for this show, which is very reminiscent of 70’s/80’s sentai like the costumes themselves.
Kanpai Senshi After V will begin it’s televised broadcast April 7th 2014. Here’s hoping the usual sub groups decide to pick this one up!

First revealed nearly 4 months ago as a prototype at Tamashii Nations 2013, we finally have release details for one of the strangest toku heroes ever! A new sub-line of the Garo Makai Kado line, Shougeki Kado will be the home for characters of the recent comedy drama tokusatsu Shougeki Gouraigan! The first release in that line will be the first of the Hikaribito, Gou!
Shougeki Kado Gou will be released, much like all the most recent releases in the Makai Kado line, as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Gou will be be released in July for 6264 yen.
Thanks to our friends at the Tokusatsu Network, we have translated details of the upcoming Kikaider movie, which many fans have been wondering about since it’s first “announcement” nearly a year ago.
The following is a translation of the story from the Tokusatsu Network:
– Kikaider was created by Nobuhiko Komyoji as part of the ARK Project. After Komyoji mysteriously dies, Kikaider begins his fight against the ARK Project, which has now lost sight of its original purpose.
Fans of the original series will be happy to know that the series’ original star, Ban Daisuke, is returning to the show as a character named Kyujiro, which when seen in Kanji, translates to “old Jiro”. Thanks again to the folks of the Tokusatsu Network for the translations!
Are you excited for the return of Kikaider? Join in the discussion already in progress!
After a long while of speculation, and nearly a year after it’s announcement at the end of Super Hero Taisen Z, the Kikaider movie reboot finally has something solid to show!
At long last the reboot design for Kikaider himself has been revealed! And a pleasant surprise accompanies this image, the reboot design for everybodies favorite anti-hero himself, Hakaider! That’s right, this image finally confirms that both androids will be featured in the film, though let speculation abound about Hakaider’s role. The film is said to be a heart warming love story. But as anyone whose seen Mechanical Violator Hakaider would know, love isn’t his forte.
NECA’s ToyFair display includes an impressive display of Pacific Rim figures!
In addition to the already-released Gipsy Danger & Knifehead toys, we also have a close look at the upcoming “TRESPASSER” Kaiju along with two more Jaeger figures: the Russian Cherno Alpha and the Japanese Coyote Tango, both impressive (if probable final) entries in the Pacific Rim toyline.

It’s time to end the speculation folks. This news comes courtesy of our sister site ToyArk. Bandai Tamashii Nations has announced that their S.H. Figuarts and D-Arts lines will be merged together. D-Arts as a sub line is now over.
Beginning in April 2014, figures that would have fallen under the D-Arts banner will now be released under the S.H. Figuarts line. A couple of confusing examples of this change over have been reported recently. Non-Toku figures such as Mario, Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, and Lucario were all originally intended for the D-Arts line. However with the discontinuation of that line these figures have been solicited as S.H. Figuarts as will all future releases that would have been in that line.
For anyone who wants to join in on the discussion of S.H. Figuarts (toku or non) hit up our two main discussion threads on the topic. The non-toku S.H. Figuarts thread in General Discussion will also retroactively encompass the D-Arts line from this point on.
