Following up on SIC PuToTyra[/B] the latest round of Figureoh scans gives us a look at the next release for OOO: S.I.C ShaUTa Combo!

The prototype was first spotted during Tamashi Nations last year though sadly not much else is known at the moment but the scan shows line art of Shauta with removable tentacle limbs.

And now a sad bit of news folks. After 17 years of business, Tokyo’s famed Ultraman Land is closing its doors. The park was opened for operation in 1996 in Tokyo’s Sunshine City Complex. Ever since its creation the park has featured tons of activities for fans of all ages. Stage shows, live events, interviews and public appearances by cast and crew, and so much more. There are even replicas on display of nearly every Ultraman prop or costume that you could think of from the entire franchise!

Tsuburaya (Ultraman’s parent company) has stated that the parks closure coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the franchise. They’re gearing up for the anniversary itself but are closing the most memorable place for fans to enjoy Ultraman which seems odd. The park will close this September 2013 so if you’re a Japanese based fan or will be traveling there soon then be sure to drop in to see Ultraman Land for the last time.

With the premiere of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger this weekend it was only a matter of time before demos of the toys began to surface. Thanks to forum member Goblez for pointing us to a pair of videos showcasing the gimmicks of the role play weapons Gaburevolver and Gaburecalibur. A 3rd video showcases their combination as the Gaburecannon and how that affects the electronic gimmicks.

Official release for the Kyoryuger line of toys is this week and online retailers should be getting their stock in by the middle of next week. Tune into Tokunation.com for full reviews and galleries of these items as they hit the market!

The latest round of magazine scans have shown us two new weapons for the current Kamen Riders!

Have you ever wanted to build your own monster? Maybe you’re jonesing for more modular toylines like Mugenbine, or you really want to try the HoneHone Saurs toys but the good ones sell out too fast? Or maybe you want a unique new Ultraman toyline to collect?

Never fear, Ultra Bone is here! Ultra Bone is a Bandai minifigure line, sold as boxed candy toys and capsule Gashapon releases, of famous Ultra monsters as skeletons, using a modular ball-and-socket design to mix-and-match pieces or build your own crazy creature. As an added incentive to “catch ’em all” each Ultra Bone figure has a chase black-skeleton variant on top of the standard bone-colored (naturally!) release.

Series 1 of the candy toys have already been released, and the first Gashapon series is expected later this month. Check out images of the first sets of figures, Bandai Japan’s TV spots from YouTube, video review courtesy of bonorenosan and maybe show off your own creations by checking our discussion thread!

After being shown along with a complete Zodiarts display at Tamashi Nations earlier last year, the S.H.Figuarts Zero Aries Zodiart has finally been fully revealed.

The tyrant of Subaruboshi will be released as Toei Hero web exclusive, and he will be due out in July.

Thanks to Tokunation member MidoGreen for giving us the heads up!

Even though Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger hasn’t begun to air yet, Alpha Hero Shock is reporting that toy listings for the 2013 Super Sentai series include news of a sixth member to the team – Kyoryu Gold!

According to these listings, Kyoryu Gold will transform using the GaburiChanger, a gauntlet, and his weapon will be the ZanderThunder, an electric sword. His robot will be the 6th Zyudenryu, Pteragodon, the golden pteranodon, that will transform into PteRaidenOh.

Meanwhile the main Kyoryuger team will receive a new ally in the form of Bunpachy, a black pachycephalosaurus. They will also have new weapons – the Fang Shot and the Shieldron Slasher. Finally, the toy listings note that a Super Sentai Zyudenchi set is planned.

It has been speculated that Kyoryu Gold’s identity will in fact be Torin (the team’s mentor), in a role similar to that of Dekamaster in Dekaranger. His announcement coming this early adds a lot of credence to the theory.

What do you think? Discuss after the jump!
