The Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club will be airing a special celebratory episode of the legendary Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
Titled Ninja Sentai Kakuranger Act 3: Middle-Aged Struggles this new adventure features the five Ninja reunite thirty years after their last outing together.
All five of the original Kakuranger actors will be reprising their iconic roles.
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger Act 3 will be released on TTFC in Summer 2024!
The next Super Sentai team joining the Shodo SUPER toyline is Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
All five members of the Ninja Sentai are recreated in superb detail, with a full arsenal of weapons and extra effects. For comparison, these Shodo SUPER figures are displayed alongside the previously released Super Minipla figures from the Kakuranger series.
The Shodo SUPER Ninja Sentai Kakuranger set is priced at 9350 Yen before shipping and handling. Release is tentatively scheduled for March 2023.
Via new pre-order listings over at Tokullectibles, we have our first look at full color official images of Super Minipla Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, & Tsubasamaru!
You may recall we’ve been following the development of these figures quite closely. The last time we checked on it, gray prototype images of Tsubasamaru had been released. However now we have initial pre-orders and official images for all 3 releases from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
Tokullectibles is currently using placeholder prices for both listings starting at $1.00, while the pages aren’t live for ordering yet as well. We’ll update when Japanese pages with official pricing go live as well.
Revealed via design scans only last week, the Bandai Candy blog is now teasing us with the first prototype images of the Super Minipla Muteki Shogun! Specifically, the component shown off in these images is Red Saruder.
Muteki Shogun, along with Kakure Daishogun & Tsubasamaruu, we’re all teased to be in planning stages only last week thanks to some newly released sketches from the Super Minipla Encyclopedia. With these first prototype images it looks like the project is moving forward!
A new Super Minipla Encyclopedia has just been released (images from Tendou Toys), and within it’s pages are a number of current and upcoming releases. Among these are also preliminary designs for other projects in the pipeline. So while not revealed physically yet, the most significant items of interest contained in the book are a trio of projects from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger!
Following up from the soon to be released Liveman sets, Kakuranger makes a ton of sense given what the collector market is hoping for. And so far we have general design for Muteki Shogun, Kakure Daishogun, & Tsubasamaru! That’s quite the triple threat of new Super Minipla if this is indeed the next project the design team embarks on. With Zyuranger kits wrapped up and Liveman about to drop, these would be welcome additions indeed.
The Encyclopedia makes mention of several past sentai and even features some photos of vintage Candy Toy & Gashapon Robo sets from shows like Kousoku Sentai Turboranger. Could we see a series like that next on the horizon? We’ll be sure to update you if so!
Although it’s a little early this month some new initial magazine scans are leaking out from the latest issues and the subjects this month are Kamen Rider Ghost & Shuriken Sentai Ninninger! Here’s a rundown of the highlights:
– Shurikenger is set to appear in Ninninger along with returning heroes Ninja Red, Hurricane Red, & Jiraiya. It seems that despite the non-anniversary nature of this show it continues to rely on cameos.
– Ghost Tokon Boost Damashii & Benkei Damashii. Tokkon Boost will make it’s debut in Movie Wars Genesis. Benkei will be appearing in upcoming December episodes.
– DVD Exclusive Specter Pythagoras Damashii revealed. Apparently the same DVD special as Ghost Ikkyu Damashii.
– New villain Javelle will also be making his debut. He has a human form but uses the Ganma Transformation Eyecon to become the Superior Ganma.
What do you think of these upcoming developments? Let us know in the thread below!
Today is the start of a fresh batch of magazine scans flooding the internet, so let’s start off with the sentai batches! From Shuriken Sentai Ninninger we have the following:
– Starninger civilian form. Real name Kinji Takigawa. Came from America & decided to be a ninja after encountering the Last Ninja, Yoshitaka Igasaki.
– Ninja Red & Hurricane Red Shurikens! From the upcoming 3 ninja team episode crossover. The Kakuranger ninshuriken will allow the user to create doubles while the Hurricanger ninshuriken allows the user to use the Huuricane Red’s Soragake technique.
– Rodeomaru & Bison King. Rodeomaru will be the core unit of Bison King much like Shinobimaru is for Shurikenjin.
