Emergency, Dekaranger!

With Tamashii Nations 2016 this upcoming weekend we hope to see many reveals, both expected and unexpected. Those reveals used to include Super Sentai figuarts but sadly that line has been shelved, for now. But it gives us pause to go back and on occasion reexamine some of our favorite releases as well. So today we’re featuring a brand new Gallery 2.0 Re-do with S.H. Figuarts Deka Red!

Dekaranger has always been one of my personal favorite Sentai. So seeing the characters done in figuarts styling was like a dream come true. Sadly not a fully realized dream, but the releases we did get are still fantastic and that’s what encouraged me to finally do this reshoot of Deka Red. The Dekaranger body type has an impressive range that still holds up to new figures. But the accessory count here is perhaps the best thing about this figure. SP License, both Magnums, multiple hands, even the ludicrous power of the Akibrangers the Dekawoppa!? These were the glory days.

We’ve attached a selection to this post but you can enjoy the complete 80 image Gallery 2.0 of S.H. Figuarts Deka Red after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

The biggest Tamashii event of the year, Tamashii Nations 2016 is happening this weekend from 10/28-10/30. As is always the case we can expect quite a number of new reveals, and perhaps a good number of those reveals to never see the light of day again.

However, according to the event site, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Ex-Aid will be fully revealed during what’s being dubbed the “Tamashii Hour” by the event staff. A very small and brief teaser can be found for this figuart on the site itself.

This exciting development is likely not the only one to come out of this weekend. As more information and photos from the event begin to circulate we’ll keep you up to date every step of the way!

The Premium Bandai website has just updated with new official images and pricing/release info for the highly anticipated Super Sentai Artisan Aura Change & Kiba Changer set! This impressive pair of releases is surprisingly sold together, we half expected Premium Bandai to sell them separately. Thankfully though when you contact your middleman to secure one of these magnificent pieces you’ll only need to do it once!

The Aura Changer & Kiba Changer set will be sold exclusively through the Premium Bandai site with a release in March 2017. Retail price for this set is a very reasonable 10, 584 yen. Confirmed features so far include newly recorded sounds for each changers’ electronics, the Kiba Changer also includes the necessary Kiba Emblem, cast entirely in diecast metal!

Are you as excited for this release as we are?? Let us know in the thread below!

Teased late last month we were expecting to see official images and details for this release on October 26th. But thanks to Figure Oh scans leaking a little earlier than expected we have our first look at two new upcoming Premium Bandai Products, The Super Sentai Artisan Aura Changer & Kiba Changer!

Thanks to an anonymous poster on 2chan the first image of this pair is currently making the rounds and WOW do they look great! We can almost hear the droves of Power Rangers fans out there who hope to see this item re purposed for the Magna Defenders morpher as the original DX toy was.

The Aura & Kiba Changers are headed for release in March 2017, presumably as a set for 10,584 yen. but we’ll have full release details and official images on October 26th.

After yesterday’s official confirmation of release, Bandai has release full official images & release info for 2 versions of this upcoming release. S.H. Figuarts Super-1 & V-Machine set and the single release S.H. Figuarts V-Machine!

Both of these releases are slated for release in April 2017, as Tamashii Web Exclusives. The 2-pack of Super-1 & V-Machine features a re-release of the Super-1 figuart that appears mostly unchanged from it’s original single release. The single pack version of the V-Machine is fairly bare bones and only includes the usual wheel base pedestal.

The Super-1/V-Machine 2 pack retails for 11,664 yen while the single V-Machine will retail for 7560 yen.

After yesterday’s official confirmation of release, Bandai has release full official images & release info for S.H. Figuarts Hardboilder!

This new Hardboilder is actually the second release of this vehicle. An update from the original Figuarts Hardboilder, it seems to feature a more well defined sculpt and paint job. Specifically this release is meant to pair with the recently released Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W.

S.H. Figuarts Hardboilder will be released in April 2017 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 5184 yen.

Thanks to an updated front page on the Tamashii.JP site, we have our first look at a pair of upcoming Rider Machines, S.H. Figuarts V-Machine & Hardboilder!

V-Machine is a long overdue release for Kamen Rider Super-1 who’s been without his bike for several years. The Hardboilder is likely a new mold proportioned to the recently released Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider W figuart.

While neither of the item pages are active yet for these releases, this is our first official confirmation that they are on the way. We’ll update you with full official images and information once they’re available, so stay tuned!

under Ultraman

It’s still that time of the month for brand new items to drop on the Tamashii Nations site, and tonight’s next reveal is a huge one! Fans of the original Ultraman series will undoubtedly recognize what this set represents, it’s the S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan Clone Set 3-Pack!

Meant to replicate the Baltan races’ ability to merge into larger beings as well as clone or copy itself, this 3-pack features 3 S.H. Figuarts Baltan figures, each in varying degrees of blue & clear blue plastic to show the transition. A truly incredible looking set that will be sure to menace your entire Ultra-Act or Ultraman S.H. Figuarts collection!

S.H. Figuarts Alien Baltan Clone Set 3-Pack will be release as a a Tamashii Web Exclusive in April 2017 for a whopping 17,820 yen.
