After an initial teaser was posted last week on the Tamashii Web Shop, Bandai has just fully officially revealed official images of the S.H. Figuarts Winspector Full Package Option Set!

This incredible set is pretty much the pinnacle of accessory packs. It includes just about everything you could possibly need to compliment your full Winspector trio:

  • Fire’s Gigastreamer super weapon and the Spin Claw mode attachment
  • 2 Hand Wappers/cuffs (1 large set, 1 small)
  • 2 Winbadge’s for fire (1 opened, 1 closed)
  • 2 maintenance chairs for Bikel & Walter
  • All 3 Multi-Pack backpacks for each member of the team

Basically you get everything you’d possibly need to compliment your figures. The S.H. Figuarts Full Package Option Set will be released in October 2016 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 8100 yen.

Gokai Change!

It’s the gimmick that just won’t ever fade away, Ranger Keys! Today we’re taking a look at just the latest set from Premium Bandai released in this 5 year old line of collectible trinkets. Today’s subject is the Ranger Key Set Metal Hero Edition!

This incredible new set seeks to fill out some long standing gaps in Ranger Key collection, following up on a Ranger Key set released 3 years ago to coincide with Super Hero Taisen Z. That set introduced 6 Metal Heroes into the line with Jiraya, Jiban, Draft Redder, Janperson, Blue Beet, & B-Fighter Kabuto. The Metal Hero Edition adds another 10 Metal Heroes to the line up with:

Gavan (Uchuu Keiji Gavan-1982)
Sharivan (Uchuu Keiji Sharivan-1983)
Shaider (Uchuu Keiji Shaider-1984)
Juspion (Kyoju Tokusou Juspion-1985)
Spielban (Jikuu Senshi Spielban-1986)
Metalder (Chojinki Metalder-1987)
Fire (Tokkei Winspector-1990)
Sol Braver (Tokkyu Shirei Solbrain-1991)
SWAT Sho (Blue SWAT-1994)
Gavan Type G (Uchuu Keiji Gavan The Movie-2012)

While that does indeed fill in most of the gaps for collectors, there’s still a few left that may irk some (mostly me). For now enjoy over 75 images of the Ranger Key Metal Hero Edition along with group shots comparing this set to the Ranger Key Complete Edition released for Super Hero Taisen Z.

The first image of a recently-reported new entry in the Kamen Rider Ghost line has surfaced online! This is our first look at the DX DeepSlasher!

This weapon is a repaint (or possible minor retool) of the previously-released DX SunGlasSlasher the design resembles a pair of sunglasses, can serve as a blaster or saber and can hold two Eyecons.

In addition, this teaser gives us our best look at Kamen Rider Specter in his ultimate form- Deep Specter! This upgrade appears to be a primarily white form with purple & red highlights.

The Tamashii Web Shop has made a small update to S.H. Figuarts Bikel’s order page with the addition of a new image. One teasing the release of a Full Package Option Set for the Winspector trio!

The Full Package is a set of backpacks and additional weapons each uniquely suited to the 3 Winspector members. In the vintage toyline for Winspector each figure included these accessories. The S.H. Figuarts release of the Full Package accessories made their 1st appearances at Tamashii Nations 2015 last October, without release information. But today’s tease officially confirms that this set will be made available for pre-order via the Tamashii Web Shop in the near future!

We’ll keep you updated as more information on this release becomes available.

Instincts Awakened!

TokuNation finally has the chance to present a long overdue gallery for the 4oth Super Sentai, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger! The show is just about a month in and we’ve liked what we’ve seen so far, now we turn out attention to some of the first releases from the shows toyline with DX Zyuoh King & DX Cube Kirin!

While this series blocky designs and simplicity have been a big turn off for many fans the show is undoubtedly fun. As for the toys looks can also be deceiving. While simplistic each Cube Animal has it’s own charm. The Cube Eagle, Shark, & Lion that make up Zyuoh King may not appear to be much individually but when taken together it’s impressive to see how Bandai incorporated the Cube form, animal mode, and the mechanisms necessary to form Zyuoh King in each of them. Cube Kirin is a pint-sized addition meant to arm up your Zyuoh King with it’s bazooka form. Not much on it’s own, it’s a nice accessory to Zyuoh King.

We’ve got over 50 images of DX Zyuoh King as well as 20 more of DX Cube Kirin waiting for you after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them all.

Thanks to a new listing on the Toys R Us Japan website we have a brand new look at the upcoming Ghost Change Kamen Rider Ghost Grateful Damashii figure!

Grateful Damashii seems to work in the same fashion as Arms Change Gaim Kiwami Arms. It includes a standard Ghost Ore Damashii hoodie to fit over the figure. When taken off the emblems of the heroic ghosts & the bulk of the armor can rotate from behind the figure out onto his body.

Ghost Change Grateful Damashii will be released in April for 3999 yen according to the TRU JP listing.

A teaser for an upcoming release in the Ghost Change action figure series has given us the best glimpse yet at Kamen Rider Specter in a new form- DEEP SPECTER!

The figure appears to be a heavily modified Specter with several new armor bits. How this release can interact with other Ghost Change toys remains unknown at time of writing.

In addition, a new toy listing has surfaced online for a new roleplay release: the DX Extreme Loaded Deep Slasher! This seems to be Deep Specters’ signature weapon; allegedly a modified rerelease of Kamen Rider Ghosts’ own Sunglas Slasher.

The Deep Slasher is set for release in April 2016 at a price of 5200 Yen. Be sure to join in our Ongoing Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears about Kamen Rider Specter and his exciting new abilities!
