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.

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.

Photo & Content contributor conundrum is back yet again with a new gallery from Big Bad Beetleborgs! Today he takes a look at the 6″ Blue Stinger Beetleborg!

The figure is an import of the Blue Beet figure from Bandai of Japan’s Juukou B-Fighter toy line, released by Bandai of America in 1998.All in all, it is still a solid figure, even by today’s standards. The articulation for the most part is decent, but the fantastic metallic blue and chrome paint job the figure has more than makes up for it. The paint is a double-edged sword though as it is almost impossible to find a used Beetleborgs figure without any wear to the metallic paint or chrome.

No one knows if the B-Fighters/Beetleborgs will ever get the S.H. Figuarts treatment, but in the meantime, the figures from Bandai of America’s 6 inch line are an excellent placeholder in any collection.

Check out the full gallery by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to see theentire gallery for this figure. And why not have a look at conundrum’s previous gallery of the 12″ Special Edition Blue Stinger Beetleborg as well to get your fix for the Big Bad Beetleborgs!
