As well as showing up with a huge load of Kamen Rider reveals, Bandai Tamashii Nations had plenty to show off from the Ultraman during today’s Tamashii Nations figu @ HOME livestream event. These latest S.H. Figuarts reveals included:

  • Ultraman Leo
  • Ultraman Z Beta Smash
  • Ultraman Z Delta Rise Claw
  • Ultraman 55th anniversary edition (featuring a metallic finish and Brothers’ Mantle)
  • Golza from Ultraman Tiga

With these reveals not only do we finally see all of Ultraman Z’s television forms in the S.H. Figuarts line, but also a welcome return of kaiju figures! While the majority of these figures naturally do not have release dates at this time, S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Leo will be up for preorder tomorrow! This is a general retail figure due for release in November, with a price of 6050 yen.

Check out images of all these fantastic figures after the jump!

The Bandai Tamashii Nations website and official Godzilla Twitter account have revealed a special reissue of S.H. MonsterArts Gigan (2004), previously released all the way back in 2014. This new Godzilla: Final Wars “Great Battle” version includes everything that was packaged with the original release (alternate armour plating and chainsaw hands from his later appearance in the film) as well as an eye laser effect part, extending grappling hook parts and additional cables for said hooks.

The figure is a Tamashii web exclusive, releasing in September 2021 and priced 15180 yen. Preorders open at 16:00 JST on Friday April 23rd!

Gonna TIGA! Take me, take me higher!

Thanks to the latest round of magazine images we can see that Bandai Tamashii Nations have something very special in store for Ultraman Tiga’s 25th anniversary. Whilst many assumed his revealed-long-ago S.H. Figuarts figure would finally be released to celebrate occasion, these new images in fact reveal that Tiga will be the first Ultraman to join the S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou range!

Sporting the Shinkocchou Seihou “true bone carving” sculpting method, Ultraman Tiga will be released for the price of 6600 yen (exact release date still unclear). Along with a selection of alternate hands, it will also include his Spacium Beam effect.

Stay tuned to Tokunation for more news as it comes and site sponsors Tokullectibles and Big Bad Toy Store for preorders as they come!

Yesterday we saw Bandai Tamashii Nations jump into the world of high-end statues with the announcement of the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory- figure, but it looks as though the line won’t be just a one-off thing to celebrate Zero’s 10th anniversary!

A further two releases in this new line have been unveiled at Tamashii Nations 2020 – one of Zero’s rival Ultraman Belial, and another of Kamen Rider Double facing off against two Masquerade Dopants! Like the Zero figure both sport incredible detailing, however it’s unclear whether they also feature illuminating parts. One thing’s for sure though – they won’t come cheap.

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ultraman Zero, Bandai Tamashii Nations have unveiled the Tamashii Studios Premium Ultraman Zero -10 Years of Trajectory-, the first in a line of high quality statues.

Sitting atop a rocky plinth (featuring a miniature Pigmon!), Ultraman Zero features illuminating eyes and colour timer as well as a removable cloak. This extremely high quality statue mirrors the detailing of the suit down to the finest detail, making it one of the most impressive pieces the company has produced to date.

Such quality does not come cheap though, with the Tamashii web exclusive statue costing a hefty 132,000 yen. If you’d like to add this incredible piece to your collection though, it will be releasing in July 2021.

Previously teased in the run up to the Tamashii Nations 2020 event this weekend, Bandai have now revealed official images and release information for the S.H. Figuarts Ultra Zero Mantle! This blue mantle worn by Ultraman Zero in the currently airing Ultraman Z has been produced in a similar vein to the forthcoming Ultra Brothers‘ Mantle, utilising fabric on a posable frame.

The Ultra Zero Mantle will be released in May 2021 as a Tamashii web exclusive, priced 2750 yen.

The latest issue of Figure-Oh magazine has just been released, and gracing the cover is the surprise announcement of an S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Black! We’ll bring you more information about this reveal as it comes, and the figure is surely to be on show at the Tamashii Nations 2020 event in a few weeks’ time!

Just ahead of the Tamashii Nations 2020 event due to take place between 6th and 8th November, Bandai have announced  S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zero-One Realizing Hopper as a sneak preview! Based on the titular Rider’s appearance during his showdown with Kamen Rider Horobi/Ark Scorpion in the show’s final episode, Realizing Hopper features a slightly altered deco and also comes with the Realizing Hopper Progrise Key and a designated display stand. This is a commemorative item for the event, so is only available for a limited time.

The figure will retail for 3300 yen and release April 2021, with the preorders open from the 6th to the 9th November.
