in a rather quick turn around, a recent update to the Tamashii Nation’s official web page for S.H.Figuarts Ultraman product, a teaser for S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Ginga was posted in addition to some new shots of Victory himself. Perfect for collectors looking to replace their Ultra-Act figure with something that’s more in scale with the new Figuarts product coming out.

Ultraman R/B will feature two Ultramen: Ultraman Rosso and Ultraman Blu. To transform, they use the DX Rube Gyro along with Transformation Crystals which will be the series collectible gimmick. Rosso and Bull will have elemental crystals based on powers from past Ultramen:

Rosso Aqua based on Ginga
Rosso Wind Based on Tiga

Rosso Ground based on Victory

Ultraman Blu Flame and Blu Wind are based on Tiga’s powers

and Ultraman Blu Ground is based on Victory.

Their enemy is Ultraman Orb Dark who uses the Orb Ring Neo and Girujyobon Crystal to transform. Ultraman R/B will premiere on July 7th, and while the plot and cast are still currently unknown but we’ll be sure to bring you more up to date info as it becomes available.

Following their initial reveal last month, we now have official images of the forthcoming wave of 66 Action Ultraman figures. Like the Kamen Rider waves, these are small poseable candy toy figures that each also come with a piece of soda-flavoured candy. Included in this first wave are the original Ultraman, Ultra Seven, Ultraman Ginga Strium and a Baltan Seijin.

The figures will retail for 380 yen each and be released in January 2015, with preorders likely to be going up in the next few days!

Super Hero Generations is a new Super Robot Wars esque tactical RPG from Bandai Namco Games that features Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Gundam. The official webspite for the cross over title just launched.

Along with the web site, screenshots showcasing the gorgeous attack animations for Wizard, Ginga, and Black RX have been released.

What sets Super Hero Generations apart though is that the characters will appear in full proper proportioned bodies during the cutscenes and not Chibi styled as per Super Robot Wars tradition.

The game will be released on PS3 and PSVita consoles with both Special Sound Editions and regular retail editions available and will be released October 23rd 2014.

The Regular edition on Ps3 will cost 7,600 yen with the special sound edition being 10,450 yen while the Vita version will be a little cheaper at 6,640 for the Regular and 9,500 for the special edition.

Once again the Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and the Mobile Suit Gundam franchises will be joining together in a new crossover title: Super Hero Generations which was just announced for PS3 and PS Vita consoles!

From our side of the fandom, the game will include Ultra Seven, Ultraman Zero, Ginga, Tiga, along with Kamen Rider Fourze, Black RX, Wizard, Den-O, W, and 000.

The game itself is a grid based tactical RPG ala Super Robot Wars.

It’s time once again for TokuNation to plume the  depths of it’s newest segment, Toy Tuesdays! This time around we’re forgoing the spandex heroes and bug men in favor of the most venerable of toku hero franchise,s Ultraman! This week we spotlight the recently released Ultra-Act Ultraman Ginga!

Ginga is of course the titular hero of the Ultraman Ginga story featured in New Ultraman Retsudan! Returning soon in Ultraman Ginga S, this is the first collector’s style toy released from the first series. As a part of the long lived Ultra-Act line Ginga has had a lot to live up to, or rather he needed to live up to the quality of the more recent releases in the line. And does he ever! Ginga is by far one of the most dynamic entries in the line, this mold screams with personality.

Ginga is a little lite on the accessories, but as mentioned in our review of the figure, his most important accessory is actually all over his body. The Light Crystals mounted all over his body are fully removable, as are the head and shoulder pads, suggesting Bandai plans to release future accessory sets for Ginga’s other forms and powers! For once it seems Bandai/Tamashii Nations has really planned ahead with a new release. Depending on Ginga’s sales we could be in store for some great surprises in the future.

Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to enjoy a full 40 image gallery of this figure as well as a lengthy review. We’ll see you back here next week for another Toy Tuesdays gallery, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Black & Battle Hopper Renewal!
