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.
