Juukou!

We’re back! Did you miss us? After our New York Toy Fair coverage we thought it was time to give the citizens of TokuNation a treat. Today we’re taking a look at a brand new Tamashii Web Exclusive release familiar to both Western & Japanese tokusatsu fans alike. S.H. Figuarts Blue Beet from Juukou B-Fighter! And 90’s Saban Era fans will undoubtedly recognize this figure as the Blue Stinger Beetleborg from Big Bad Beetleborgs!

Blue Beet is one of the more intricately detailed Figuarts you’ll own for sure. An incredible representation of an elaborate suit, Blue beet really captures the presence of his on screen counterpart. Some articulation issues not withstanding, this figure nails the look. Not to mention a bevy of really well done accessories too. Blue Beet comes with the standard side arm of the B-Fighters the Input Magnum,  3 sets of extra hands, as well as his signature Stinger Blade. Of course it also includes parts necessary to transform it into the Stinger Drill too!

Honestly S.H. Figuarts Blue Beet is a fantastic figure. While I’m not impressed with the articulation given to him it’s certainly one of the better looking figuarts I own. I’m even more excited for the upcoming G-Stag, Reddle, & Black Beet than I was before. If you want to be as well then I suggest checking out our complete 80 image gallery of Blue Beet by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation forums” at the bottom of this post!

He was merely teased in the magazine scans which confirmed/revealed Blue Beet. But now that an actual physical sample is on disaplay, at the Akiba Showroom no less, we should be getting concrete details on this figures release very very soon.

As for fans hoping for a North American release of these figure via Bluefin, definitely make your voices heard. Bluefin Tamashii is aware that there could be demand for these toys with collectors. Let them know it! Tell them you want the Blue Stinger Beetleborg, tell them you want Shadowborg/General Venjix! Get out there and make some noise on twitter @TamashiiNations and on Bluefin’s facebook page!

Set for release in December, Bandai has just announced a special Metal Hero Ranger Key Complete Edition Set! This set features the 6 Metal Hero keys used by the Gokaigers in Super Hero Taisen Z for the Metal Hero Gokai Galleon Buster attack. Featured in this set are:

– Janperson from Tokuso Robo Janperson
– Jiraiya from Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya
– Jiban from Mobile Cop Jiban
– DraftRedder from Special Rescue Exceedraft
– BlueBeet from Juukou B-Fighter
– Kabuto from B-Fighter Kabuto

However that’s not all! As a part of this set 2 more mystery keys will be released! One from Kakuranger and one from Abaranger. The most likely guess for each is Ninjaman for Kakuranger since he never had a ranger key before and possibly Abare Pink since her key was featured briefly in an episode of Gokaiger. The price for this set is 10,500 yen, so Ranger Key Completionists get ready!

Earlier this year, we posted a picture featuring Gavan Type-G standing amongst his fellow Metal Heroes- Janperson, Jiraiya, Jiban, SyncRedder, B-Fighter’s Blue Beet and Kabuto. Well, new scans shown reveal that they may not be the actual Metal Heroes after all…but the Gokaigers transformed into them using the Metal Hero Ranger Keys!

Does this mean we may get another Movie Ranger Key release like the OOO Key Set during the run of Super Hero Taisen last year? Only time will tell!
