Toei have officially announced the cast list and plot for the forthcoming Kamen Rider x Super Sentai x Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z. Previously we reported that Osamu Kaneda would be directing the film, and it is now confirmed that the writer will again be Shoji Yonemura.
The evil organization Shocker has returned with the power of magic, now calling themselves Space Shocker. They claim that they are here to destroy the universe. Kamen Rider Wizard, Gavan, Go-Busters and eventually Kyoryugers join the fight against the evil organization. All your favorite heroes will be back, turning despair into hope. It will be an all new, never seen before hero epic!

Kyoryuger Toy Listings Reveal Kyoryu Gold
Even though Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger hasn’t begun to air yet, Alpha Hero Shock is reporting that toy listings for the 2013 Super Sentai series include news of a sixth member to the team – Kyoryu Gold!
According to these listings, Kyoryu Gold will transform using the GaburiChanger, a gauntlet, and his weapon will be the ZanderThunder, an electric sword. His robot will be the 6th Zyudenryu, Pteragodon, the golden pteranodon, that will transform into PteRaidenOh.
Meanwhile the main Kyoryuger team will receive a new ally in the form of Bunpachy, a black pachycephalosaurus. They will also have new weapons – the Fang Shot and the Shieldron Slasher. Finally, the toy listings note that a Super Sentai Zyudenchi set is planned.
It has been speculated that Kyoryu Gold’s identity will in fact be Torin (the team’s mentor), in a role similar to that of Dekamaster in Dekaranger. His announcement coming this early adds a lot of credence to the theory.

Tamashii Stage Act Trident – Mass Release!
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.

SH Figuarts Blue Buster Pictorial Review
Toy blogger Shishioh returns with another extensive picture review, this time of the recently released SH Figuarts Blue Buster. This figure was a Tamashii web exclusive and the final of the three main Go-Busters to be released.

Thanks to Tokunation member Christian Prime for sharing!Akibaranger Season 2 Filming Spotted
After the recent official announcement of Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2 we have officially spotted filming of the series!
According to these images both Masato Wada (Nobuo Akagi/Akiba Red) and Karin Ogino (Yumeria Moegi/Akiba Yellow) are on set and filming. Sadly these pictures lend credit to a rumor that Akiba Blue actress Kyoko Hinami has been replaced by a new character in show. The rumored Akiba Purple may in fact be her replacement but that’s merely speculation.
Also revealed in these images is a brand new design of Z-Cune Aoi-Tan, the main character of the show within a show anime Nijiyome Gakuen Z-Cune Aoi! With Aoi-Tans’ redesign does this mean the Akibarangers will be receiving a new version of their MMZ henshin devices?
