Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw!

Premium Bandai’s in house Super Sentai Artisan line continues with a new dual release! Today we get to take a look at the recently released Artisan Rodeomaru & Chouzetsu Akaninger 2-pack!

Rodeomaru & Akaninger are of course both new high end replacements for their DX counterparts. Rodeomaru offers a splendid new accurate robot mode with a healthy amount of die-cast metal or “gokin” parts thrown in for good measure. He also includes some replacement arms and shoulders to help recreate his combination with DX Bison King. And much like the previously released Artisan Shinobimaru he also included a to-scale Starninger figure!

Chouzetsu Akaninger on the other hand is a tiny yet articulated alternative to the figure included with DX Lion Ha Oh. While there are no metal parts present in this mini-figure, he does manage to include his Ninja Ichibantou as well as 2 adapter pieces to allow him to function with Lion Ha Oh.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but feel free to click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to view the  full 50 image gallery!

under Garo

Although the GARO franchise is only just getting back into the S.H. Figuarts game Tamashii Nations‘ franchise-specific Makai Kado line has been running strong for some time now, and among the latest selection of Tamashii web exclusive preorders is the return of an old favourite.

A brand new figure of the Silver Fanged Knight Zero, co-star of the original two GARO seasons and star of the recent ZERO: Black Blood miniseries, will be released in July priced 9504 yen. Not only does this new improved figure some with alternate hands and Zero’s signature Silver Wolf Swords, it also includes a pair of wings similar to those seen on Garo’s various powered-up forms.

under Metal Heroes

And just like that we have another official image turn around for a recently confirmed release. Just confirmed via magazine scans earlier this week, the Tamashii Web Shop has posted an ordering page with official images for S.H. Figuarts Walter!

Walter is the 3rd and final member of the Tokkei Winspector trio. An eagerly awaited release (for this collector personally) Walter looks to be another excellent Metal Hero addition to your collection. Included with this release are a range of great accessories. Walter comes with an excellent 5 pairs of hands, the standard Daytric M2, his wing/jetpack the Dislider, and 2 cans of oil!

MAY DAY, MAY DAY!

The final member of the Special Rescue Police Winspector, the latest team from the Metal Heroes series to join the S.H. Figuarts line will arrive in August as a Tamashii web exclusive! The latest batch of magazine scans have confirmed Walter‘s release, as well as a price tag of 7020 yen. Information on his accessories will likely follow soon.

Are you ready to complete your Winspector team this August? Let us know after the jump!

under Ultraman

With Ultraman set to celebrate his 50th birthday in July (along with the birthday of his creator Eiji Tsuburaya), many collectors speculated that this month would see the release of the S.H. Figuarts Ultraman figure previously revealed at last year’s Tamashii Nations event. And thanks to the latest set of magazine scans, we can now confirm this to be the case!

S.H. Figuarts Ultraman will be a mass release figure, retailing for 5200 yen. His accessories include a selection of effect parts, including of course his signature Specium Ray attack. In addition to this two scaled “Option Act Building Sets” will be released that month, retailing at 2700 yen each and coming in standard and damaged variants. However if both of these things take your fancy, a special Ultraman 50th Anniversary set is also being released, costing 8000 yen and including Ultraman, a special colour version of the building set AND a scaled Alien Baltan spacecraft.

As for Baltan itself? That’ll be joining the line the following month in August, retailing for 5940 yen. No word on the previously revealed Zetton figure yet, but expect that to join shortly afterward.

Stay tuned for more information on these figures in the coming week!

Signal Bike! Rider! Chaser!

Everyone’s favorite hero turned villain turned hero again has finally joined the S.H. Figuarts line! It’s been a long time coming but the rider with the tightest pants, the sweetest ride, and the ax that looks both ways before crossing the road has arrived! Today we take a look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!

Chaser is final rider needed to complete the basic Drive trifecta. As one of the last few remaining scheduled releases for Drive, he’s absolutely one of the best. Chaser is a sleek back to basics design that goes for a more symmetrical look any of the Drive riders. Included with him is his packaged separately headcrest, 2 sets of hands, his Signal Ax, and an effect part for it to replicate the “stop” & “go” of his Full Throttle Across Breaker attack. After handling him for this gallery it’s safe to say that Chaser is an absolutely solid release that will look fantastic in your Drive display. It’s one of the best figures released in this sub-line.

We’ve attached a selection to this post but more than 65 images are present in the full gallery. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to see them as well as a full review. And catch up on all of our previous Kamen Rider Drive S.H. Figuarts galleries below:

After a few months of grainy scans and guesswork, we have our first good look at DX Wild Zyuoh King! This image was first circulated by @TokusatsuPapa on twitter.

As we can see from this latest image, Wild Zyuoh King incorporates every cube revealed thus far including recent reveals like Mogura & Kuma. The only absence is the yet unseen Cube Rhino. The combination seems to be taking a few pointers from the ToQger playbook with the leg extensions and side mounts, but the arms go in an entirely different direction. We aren’t sure yet if this mech skipped leg day or arms, but it certainly looks interesting!

At last we get to see the changer and main weapon for Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger‘s Sixth Ranger- Zyuoh TheWorld!

*Up first is Zyuoh TheLight, a flashlight-based device with a cube base that rotates to channel different animal spirits.

*Next up comes Zyuoh The GunRod! This is an orange laser rifle that can also transform into a fishing rod.

TheLight appears to represent Zyuoh TheWorlds’ Rhino spirit while The GunRod channels the Crocodile. Fans have speculated that another device (for the Wolf) will be released at a later point but unfortunately nothing is confirmed at this time.
