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.
Bandai Tamashii Nations have revealed a surprise new addition to their S.I.C. (Super Imaginative Colosseum) range – Kamen Rider Fourze Rocket States! Based on Fourze’s form from Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max, Rocket States is a repaint of the previously released Base States figure with twin arm rocket accessories.
S.I.C. Kamen Rider Fourze Rocket States will be released exclusively through Amazon.co.jp in December 2020. Preorders begin August 11th, and the figure will retail for the price of 12,000 yen.
The new Ultra Arts section of the Bandai Tamashii Nations website has revealed that an S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga Strium figure will be arriving in January! Based on Ginga’s appearance in Ultraman Ginga S after he fuses with Ultraman Taro via the Strium Brace, we can see that the figure will at least include a fully physical version of the Ginga Spark Lance (as opposed to the translucent one that came with the original Ginga figure). Further accessories are yet to be announced.
S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ginga Strium will be a Tamashii web exclusive releasing in January 2021 at the price of 7150 yen. Check out the images after the jump!
Preorders have now opened for the S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Geed Primitive (New Generation Edition) figure! This reissue of the original Ultraman Geed figure now features an alternate head with red eyes, similar to that of the Shanghai exclusive ULTRA HEROES TAMASHII recolour version released last year. This head mirrors moments of the series where the son of Belial briefly appeared with red eyes.
Due to the addition of a new head, this version omits the original’s Wrecking Burst effect piece but includes three alternate pairs of hands and an alternate red colour timer.
S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Geed Primitive (New Generation Edition) releases in December 2020, at the price of 6050 yen. Check out the images and preorder yours now!
Preorders are now open for S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Z Alpha Edge, the newest Ultra hero celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ultraman Zero! Ultraman Z’s default fighting form combines the powers of Ultraman Zero, Ultraseven and Ultraman Leo, and joins the S.H. Figuarts range at a lower price point. The figure only comes packaged with three pairs of alternate hands and an alternate red colour timer.
S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Z Alpha Edge releases in December 2020, at the price of 3850 yen. Check out the images and preorder yours now!
And for those who prefer the role-play side of things, today is truly a celebration of Kamen Rider IXA as Premium Bandai have announced the Complete Selection Modification IXA Belt and IXA Riser set! Preorders for this set will open on the 26th May, with further information surely to surface in the coming week!
Ready! Fist On!
Bandai Tamashii Nations have revealed that the next figure to join the S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou range will be Kamen Rider IXA! The secondary Rider from Kamen Rider Kiva that appears in both the 1986 and 2008 portions of the show, IXA will be a Tamashii web exclusive with preorders opening on 25th May.
Further details, such as release date, price and accessories will be announced in the coming week!
Change, Leopardon!
What would a Toei Spider-Man release be without his trusty giant robot to go with it? Lo and behold, Soul of Chogokin Leopardon will be reissued alongside the Figuarts release, bearing a brand new GX-33R designation and a rather interesting accessory.
Rather than the vinyl figure that was included with the original release, this version of Leopardon will instead include a full-sized Spider Bracelet that plays BGM from the show! Such a great extra doesn’t come cheap though, with this reissue due for release in September and priced 20,000 yen.
