Thanks to the ever insightful DrillBIT we have news of the forthcoming S.H. Figuarts for Akibaranger season 2!

First we have confirmation via a Bandai press release that S.H. Figuarts Super Akiba Red will be released in June, priced at 3675 yen! His teammates Akiba Blue and Akiba Yellow are tentatively set to be released in July for the same price.

Also revealed via this pdf were the Japanese release details of S.H. Figuarts Dragonranger and Tyrannoranger from Zyuranger! It is assumed both will have some relation to the Akibaranger figure releases, however what exactly this will be is currently unconfirmed. Dragonranger is tentatively due for release in June, while Tyrannoranger will be released the following month in July – both again priced 3675 yen.

Finally DrillBIT brings us some unconfirmed news of other Figuarts seen in the Akibaranger PV seen at today’s press release. Among those seen were Black Condor and Blue Swallow of Jetman, Deka Yellow of Dekaranger and Bouken Pink of Boukenger! This is the first news of a Blue Swallow figuart, and the first news of a release date for Bouken Pink (who has been seen alongside her team members at various events).

In non-Figuart merchandise news, a Twitter user has leaked that Malshina’s MMZ will be released, and is named the MoyaMoya Z-Cune. However further details are still unconfirmed.

If you recall about a week ago we ran a story featuring some rumors on the as of yet unconfirmed Akibaranger Season 2. Well we’ve discovered some more new info but file this story under rumor as well.

The same reliable 2ch poster that brought us the original news of Season 2 has let out information that the season will begin in April. And that Zukun Lab, the animation studio responsible for the shows CG, has already begun work on the new season! IF this turns out to be true that means we are now only 6 months away from a new season, and perhaps only a month or more away form the reveal of that season officially. Of course with it being April, this could become one GIANT April Fool’s Joke. True or not this rumor is sure to excite fans of the series. Join the discussion and let us know what you think.

Hey! Have you heard the hot rumors about Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger the Movie: Treasure of the Maid Empire? Well that’s all they are! Rumors of an Akibaranger feature film were actually fabricated by the shows production staff! It was an elaborate gag that began as a joke on twitter and played out quietly at Tamashii Nations 2012. They even went so far as to produce fake movie posters, tickets, and an Akiba Red giveaway mini figure!

However, don’t let this get you down as the rumor mill has begun churning again across the web. A certain reliable poster on 2chan is letting it leak that Toei is secretly filming an Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger Season 2! Think this could be too good to be true? Well this individual has leaked very reliable rumors in the past relating to Kamen Rider Fourze and the Eternal V Cinema. There’s a chance my delusional brothers and sisters that this is happening! A chance for more of the fan favorite, critically and commercially successful, series to return! Stayed tuned for more info as it becomes available.
