After being shown along with a complete Zodiarts display at Tamashi Nations earlier last year, the S.H.Figuarts Zero Aries Zodiart has finally been fully revealed.
The tyrant of Subaruboshi will be released as Toei Hero web exclusive, and he will be due out in July.
Thanks to Tokunation member MidoGreen for giving us the heads up!
Bandai’s Tamashii Nations website has just uploaded an image gallery for the forthcoming SIC Kamen Rider OOO Putotyra combo. A reimagining of the dinosaur-themed combo of Kamen Rider OOO when he uses the purple core medals, the figure comes with his signature weapon, the Medagaburyu, alternate wing and tail parts and a character-specific stand.
Putotyra is due to be released in May, with a price tag of 6825 yen. Check out the full-sized images after the jump.
Originally only included with Bandais Super Robot Chogokin Might Gaine the Tamashii Stage Act Trident will be seeing a complete mass release! Though this stage originally came with a figure unrelated to tokusatsu many collectors have taken to displaying their S.H. Figuarts, S.I.C.’s, and SRC Sentai robos on these stages.
Bandai responded to a huge fan demand that these stages be made publicly available to tokusatsu collectors. Now they will have the opportunity to own these handy display bases in 3 colors; Clear, Transparent Black, and White! The stages will be available from May, costing 1260 yen each.

New magazine scans hosted by Orends Range have given us the first real glimpse at Haruto’s mid-season upgrade, “All Dragon Style!”
Wizard will use the previously-seen Drago Timer to split his form and take on each Dragon Style element at once or let their powers combine into a single winged warrior. Naturally, the bright red All Dragon is said to be three times as fast & strong as regular Wizard.
The new form should be appearing in a few weeks, so stay tuned for further details! :)
There may have been plenty of news concerning the staff of the forthcoming Super Hero Taisen sequel, but news of the plot and characters has been minimal. But now, courtesy of Henshin Justice Unlimited we bring you the first proper magazine scans for Kamen Rider x Super Sentai x Space Sheriffs: Super Hero Taisen Z!
As previously suggested, the villains for this movie will be Space Shocker – a group made up of various villains from across the universe. Among their ranks is original Kamen Rider villain Ikadevil, who has been renamed Space Ikadevil and will be appearing in a new remade suit.
Various team ups and face offs include a team up of Kamen Rider Super-1 and Kamen Rider Meteor, who are displayed performing a Space Rider Double Kick! Geki Jumonji will return as the new Gavan, who claims that in order to protect the peace of outer space, he needs to defeat Kamen Rider Wizard. Meanwhile Kamen Rider Beast will battle against Sharivan! The Kyoryugers will also be appearing in the film, along with past heroes Kamen Rider Fourze and the Go-Busters!
Check out the full sized images after the jump. Super Hero Taisen Z will be released in Japan sometime in April.
With orders shipping in about a month, we now have an early glimpse at Wizard’s first Figuart release- revealing yet another new box format in this long-running action figure line.
The magic ring-bearer is set to be released in late February for 44.99 and will be available through Blufin distribution. :)
Thanks to member KamenRiderOOO for the heads-up!
Yesterday marked the 75th birthday of the late Kamen Rider creator Shotaro Ishinomori! Ishinomori worked on a number of titles, ranging from Cyborg 009 to the likes of Zelda! Sure we know him from his work on the Rider genre of Tokusatsu, but did you also know he held a Guinness World Record? More from Comics Alliance:
After working with Tezuka, Ishinomori branched out on his own to create a body of work that would eventually be given the Guinness World Record for the most pages published by a single author, clocking in at a pretty staggering 128,000 pages
Not too shabby for Osamu Tezuka’s former assistant!
Among all the great news and reveals for Jyuden Sentai Kyoryuger we’re also starting to get new info for upcoming Kamen Rider Wizard episodes.
Thanks to a leaked magazine scan we can confirm that Kamen Rider Beasts’ upgraded form Beast Hyper will appear in March! However it is that Beast accesses this form, it seems that he will receive a new mantle for his right arm, a different Beast than his other rings we’ve seen so far. This scan also reveals one new ring for Wizard, Dance Ring.

Courtesy of Henshin Justice Unlimited we have a translation of the synopses for the forthcoming Kamen Rider Agito and Kamen Rider 555 novels, both of which were co-written by series head for each series Toshiki Inoue.
The Kamen Rider Agito novel, written by Inoue and Naohiro Okamura, is a retelling of the series plot, including major scenes from the show as well as new plot. The synopsis on the back of the book says:
Shoichi, a young man who is fighting as Agito against the Unknown, despite suffering from amnesia. Ryo has managed to awaken the power of Gills, but because of that his body is slowly decaying. As well as G3, Hikawa, how will their fates intervene?
Meanwhile the Faiz novel, written by Inoue and Kenji Konuta, is a sequel to the 2004 novel “Grotesque Flowers”.
It’s been 5 years and Takumi and Mari haven’t heard or seen from Keitaro, Kusaka, Naoya, or Kiba after the incidents from Grotesque Flowers. All of a sudden, out of nowhere a new shining warrior appears. No one seems to know who this person is. Takumi and Mari, who have both been trying to live peaceful lives, have to once again fight together.
The two novels are to be released on January 31st.
The last few days of magazine scans have revealed release details for SH Figuarts such as Den-O Axe Form, Wizard Flame Dragon, Den-O Liner and more! Today an additional scan brings us the long awaited release details for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider X!
Kamen Rider X will be released this May for 3360 yen! With the release of X, collectors will FINALLY be able to complete their collections of the 7 Legendary Riders! At long last the 7 original Showa Kamen Riders will be complete!
