Arriving a few months after the Kikaider REBOOT movie hits Japanese cinemas, the original Android Kikaider joins the S.H. Figuarts line!
Based on the design from the Shotaro Ishinomori‘s original 1972 series, Kikaider is fairly light on the accessories – apparently only coming with a selection of alternate hands.
He can be yours this September, released as a Tamashii web exclusive priced 4860 yen.
Medicom is once again diving into an old Tokusatsu series with their take on the classic Lion Maru character.
Like with most of Medicom’s offerings, RAH Lion Maru is a confirmed online exclusive sold via the Medicom Premium Web Store.
While the figure will set you back about 24,840 yen the figure itself won’t come out till January 2015 offering plenty of time to save up for this beauty.
Pre orders for this high end piece will begin April 24th.
Ishinomori’s legendary dual-colored hero is finally heading to Figuarts!
A recent magazine scan gives us a quick look at Kikaider’s Figuarts form; this release seems to use the iconic design rather than the revised version from the upcoming new film. For better or worse Kikaider appears to be marked as a Tamashii Web Exclusive.
Rival character Hakaider will also be appearing in toy form but at the moment his Figuart is only seen in shadow.
Kikaider is listed as a September release with an estimated price tag of 4860 Yen!
This is our first full-length trailer for the revival of iconic tokusatsu hero “Kikaider.” The trailer features our best look to date at the revised suit and combat tactics of this legendary hero, along with some new details about the supporting cast in this revival project.
Kikaider returns to theaters on May 24 2014!

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!
