Yee-Haw!
The shining star, Starninger, has arrived on Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. And with him comes the release of a brand new mecha for this series, the DX Bison King!
Composed of the Otomonin Rodeomaru & Bison Buggy, DX Bison King is a pretty versatile toy. When the two components are combined for the buggy you get a pretty uniquely different vehicle we’ve never really seen before in sentai. Combining them properly yields Bison King himself! A bulky cowboy themed robot wielding a Gunblade! Combine Rodeomaru with Shurikenjin to form Shurikejin Texas, or throw all of them into the mix and you can form the imposing King Shurikenjin! The year of the ninja continues to get more strange and more awesome with each new toy release!
And while we’ve assembled a pretty massive gallery of this figure our friend and frequent contributor Baltmatrix has also filmed a video review of DX Bison King! Be sure to check out Balt’s video below and subscribe to his youtube page for further updates!
And be sure to check out our full gallery of this figure, totaling 100 images! Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to our full gallery & review thread.
Continuing it’s still new line of high end releases, Premium Bandai have just revealed Super Sentai Artisan Rodeomaru!
In much the same fashion as Artisan Shinobimaru, and in fact revealed on Shinobimaru’s order page, Rodeomaru will be much more to his on screen counterpart, feature a greater degree of poseability, and premium paint apps. This full replacement for DX Rodeomaru will be able to combine to form DX Bison King as well.
Ordering information, pricing, & release date for Super Sentai Artisan Rodemaru have yet to be released but we’ll keep you up to date as more information becomes available! Yee-Haw!
Set for release in late May is the second mecha from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!
Following on from Shurikenjin’s release Bison King, Starningers’ personal mecha, will be the next Ninninger mecha released in the long running line of Minipla/Candy Toy kits from Bandai Of Japan! Released as a 4 box set, each box will retail for 360 yen each.
Yee-Haw!
