The newest event on Tamahii Nations toy show circuit, Tamashii Comic-Con, is currently happening this weekend. While the show seems primarily geared towards some more mainstream non-toku properties like Stars Wars, Marvel, DC, and even the newly announced Harry Potter license, there are going to be a handful of new and upcoming releases relevant to us as well.

First up, Bandai Tamashii Nations has on display the 2nd release in their Pacific Rim Soul of Chogokin line, Crimson Typhoon! You may recall, we saw this figure first back at Toy Fair 2018. This is our first solid look at it since then, and it looks absolutely incredible. These new images come courtesy of Amiami Hobby News, and while the placard seen in them doesn’t confirm any release information, we can only assume that such info will drop in the near future.

We’ll keep you up to date with any other new reveals or upcoming releases that are at Tamashii Comic-Con through out the weekend.

With images released at the same time as Gamera (1999), we also have our first set of official images for S.I.C. Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha from the Tamashii Pickup webpage!

Revealed for the first time last week, S.I.C. Amazon Alpha joins the long legacy of the S.I.C. toyline and even calls back to the original basis for the Amazon Alpha design. Originally based on a S.I.C. figure itself, the Pre-Amazon S.I.C. Hero Saga figure, this new figure captures the wild spirit and ferocity of Takeyama Jin.

S.I.C. Amazon Alpha will be released in October 2018, as a retail release, for 8640 yen.

It’s that time of month again, for a release of Tamashii Picup images for upcoming products from Tamashii Nations! This week sees the release of preview images for two very different monsters.

S.H. Monsterarts Gamera (1999), as we reported on yesterday, is based on the creatures’ appearance in the third film of the Heisei trilogy, Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris. The biggest draw of this release of course being the new translucent orange arm from the climax of the film. Gamera (1999) will be released in October 2018, as a retail release, for 10,800 yen.

Following up Bluefin Tamashii’s other excellent exclusives for this year’s San Diego Comic Con, they are also teasing an exclusive 2-pack exclusive from Pacific Rim Uprising!

While Bluefin promises more information is coming soon, we can already see from the preview image of this set, that it features re-releases of the popular Robot Spirits Obsidian Fury & Gypsy Avenger. However this go around they appear to be repainted in far more accurate detail, calling back to the Premium Color repaints other Tamashii lines  (like Dragonball) have received over the years.

We don’t have information on the pricing of this set yet, but it will most certainly be available at the Bluefin Brands booth as with their other exclusives, the SOC Black Megazord & Helmetless MMPR Figuarts.

Surprise! No, this isn’t the recently teased SOC GX-81 release Tamashii Nations has been talking about on Twitter. This year’s con exclusive release is indeed a a Black repaint of the SOC GX-76 Megazord/Daizyujin

Taking a current from Transformers repaints of the same variety, rather than use the usual gold accents we see with Black Megazord & Daizyujin repaints, this one opts for teal accents. Nemesis Megazord am I right?

This release will be exclusively available at San Diego Comic Con 2018, at the Bluefin Brands booth.

After a brief teaser image earlier this week, we at last have a full reveal for the next Super Imaginative Chogokin release- Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha!

The SIC series is ideal to replicate the new design styles seen in fan-favorite streaming series Kamen Rider Amazons and Alpha has been recreated in exquisite detail.

SIC Amazon Alpha is currently scheduled for release in October 2018! The price for the standard release is a very modest 8640 Yen before shipping and handling! However, a second run will be released exclusively to Amazon Japan and include a special stand, for a mere 10800 Yen.

If you’ve been wondering how the designs of Kamen Rider Amazons would look stylized under the S.I.C aesthetic, well wonder no more! 

As you may have guessed from the title: Bandai just announced they’ll be tackling hyper-stylized designs from this fan-favorite series. Although no prototype or concept art exists for Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha, his counterpart: Amazon Omega was seen done up in this style back in December, but at the moment there doesn’t seem to be any indication on if Amazon Omega will actually see a release in some capacity. News of this comes courtesy of Bandai Tamashii’s official product page for Kamen Rider Amazons. 

Stay tuned, and we’ll of course update you as more information on this exciting news entry becomes available.
