The Ultraman S.H. Figuarts range has enjoyed a wide range of aliens and kaiju from both the original series and Ultraseven, but when the line moved onto Return of Ultraman last year things seemed to be awfully quiet in comparison. However fans of the adventures of Ultraman Jack can now rejoice, as Tamashii Nations reveal S.H. Figuarts Black King.

Appearing in episodes 37 and 38, a pivotal two-part story in the series and widely regarded as one of the best classic Ultra stories, Black King is the kaiju bodyguard of Alien Nackle. The S.H. Figuarts version will be released as a Tamashii web exclusive in July, with a price tag of 7560 yen. Preorders will open on February 16th.

Are you excited for more classic Ultra kaiju releases? Does this mean an S.H. Figuarts Alien Nackle could be on the way? Check out the full range of images and discuss this figure after the jump!

We need Ultrazord power NOW!

One of the biggest toy releases of the year for many Power Rangers and Super Sentai collectors will no doubt be the upcoming massive Soul of Chogokin King Brachion from Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. Or more commonly as he’s known by fans that grew up with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Titanus.

The big mama jama will be released later this month, and just in time for his release, we have our first in-hand look at this impressive mammoth of a toy thanks to some photos found by @Tokullector

Soul of Chogokin GX-85 King Brachion is still available for pre-order via site sponsor BigBadToyStore. If you missed out on the Megazord/Daizyujin, a restock will be happening March 2019.

SO-DO is bringing the Climax with the next set of SO-DO Chronicle: following the recent Kamen Rider W set, the next Rider series to join the list will, of course, be SO-DO Chronicle Kamen Rider Den-O

In addition to that, the trio of future Riders from Kamen Rider Zi-O will be joining the line as well. Kamen Rider Shinobi, Kikai, and Quiz will all be released together in their own set in June with a sample of Shinobi himself having been shown.

We don’t know when SO-DO Chronicle Den-O will be released but be sure to check back with us and we’ll be sure to let you know the next time Bandai’s candy toy blog gets updated with this info.

We’ve only just recently had our cast reveal, and yet more information for the much anticipated Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger has come our way.

The following information comes from CraneJoe, who lists a Ryusoul Gold Sentai Hero series vinyl in June and DimeVolcano as the next Mecha. This seems to suggest that we may be getting our 6th team member earlier compared to past series.

In addition, CraneJoe lists a DX KishiryuOh set which presumably contains all five mecha for the main team due out in April for 13,400 yen.

Of course, the scans themselves have yet to come out. But given CraneJoe’s track record, we have reason to believe that this information is accurate. Still, please take this with a grain of salt until we get more information.

FUTURE TIME!

New information regarding the future of Kamen Rider Zi-O toys has surfaced. A post from Cranejoe himself suggests that Zi-O and Woz could be due for future upgrades and additional powers.

The post from Crane Joe suggests that we’ll be getting two new Ride Watches in the future: The DX Woz Ginga Miraide Watch and the DX Grand Zi-O Ride Watch. The former will be released in June, and the latter in May both retailing for 3,200 yen.

Keep in mind that the scans themselves have yet to drop, but CraneJoe has been accurate in the past so we have reason to believe that this listing could be true. Still, until the official toy catalog gets scanned so do take this posting with a grain of salt.

AM-A-ZOOON!

When we last looked at Figureoh magazine, the scans revealed an S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement two-pack featuring Kamen Rider Amazon Omega and Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha in bloody decos.

Since the last time we looked at these bloody boys, the pre-order page has now gone live at the time of this writing and with that, we have some new images that were released via the P-Bandai pre-order page.

Pre-Orders for this set will open February 8th 2019 and will ship out sometime July 2019 with a suggested retail price tag of 11,880 yen before shipping and middleman fees apply.


Perfect opportunity for those that may have missed out on these two figures the first go around. In the meantime, our very own Den-O took photos of the original non-blood-soaked versions of these figures so if your on the fence about these Figures be sure to check out the galleries below.

Throughout the month of March Bandai Tamashii Nations will be holding a special ULTRA HEROES TAMASHII event in Shanghai, China. As well as featuring displays of the previously released (and hopefully forthcoming) Ultraman Figuarts, the event will also have special commemorative items on sale. Among them are special “Ultra Heroes Tamashii Limited” versions of the previously released S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Geed Primitive and S.H. Figuarts Jugglus Juggler figures!

Not much has been confirmed about these figures yet, but from these single images we can see that they will have more weathered colour schemes to their mainline counterparts (with Geed also featuring red eyes that more closely match his father Belial), as well as recoloured accessories. Geed’s Wrecking Burst effect part will be red and black (as opposed to the original’s blue and red), while Juggler’s Serpent-Hearted Blade will now have a red blade part.

ULTRA HEROES TAMASHII is a free event that will be held at the Shanghai Longshan Railway Bridge Tianchi from the 1st to 31st March. Both Figuarts will be available at the event and retail for 390 RMB each. Check out the full-sized images after the jump!

ULTRA LIVE!

With S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Victory due out in the near future, the question on everyone’s lips was “where’s Ginga?” And the answer to that question is not very far behind!

in a rather quick turn around, a recent update to the Tamashii Nation’s official web page for S.H.Figuarts Ultraman product, a teaser for S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Ginga was posted in addition to some new shots of Victory himself. Perfect for collectors looking to replace their Ultra-Act figure with something that’s more in scale with the new Figuarts product coming out. 

Details for his release and price point are not known as of this writing, but we’ll be sure to update you the minute we know when his production run will take place.

For those of us that are just tuning in and missed the big announcement: Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger was announced  as the 43rd Super Sentai series proceeding the currently airing Kaitou Sentai LupinRanger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. Clearer versions of the initial toy catalog scans have been trickling out since then, and thanks to some new pages that have been uncovered we have some new details regarding this forthcoming series.

It’s been rumored for quite some time now that Super Sentai will be going on a bit of a break in February, that rumored break is now confirmed via these new scans. Kishiryu Sentai Ryusouger won’t be airing till March until then Toei will be releasing historical Super Sentai videos throughout February on YouTube. Rumour has it that Captain Marvelous/Ryota Ozawa of Gokaiger will be hosting hese videos, though nothing official has been confirmed regarding these videos, so please do take this with a grain of salt. 

In addition to that, clearer scans of both the roleplay toys and mecha were also released. The scan shows us a glimpse at how Ryusouger will transform and it seems like the team will perform some sort of dance before initiating the change, an element very reminiscent of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the new Sentai on the block, so stay tuned and we’ll keep you up to date as new info becomes available. In the meantime, make sure to hit the jump and join us in the discussion thread.
