Revealed only a few weeks ago to the excitement of Juuko B-Fighter & Big Bad Beetleborgs fans alike, these two figures are one step closer to reality! S.H. Figuarts Blue Beet & S.H. Figuarts Black Beet of Juuko B-Fighter are officially on display at the Tamashii Nations Akiba Showroom!

Blue Beet is confirmed for a January 2014 release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, priced at 4860 yen. Black Beet however we’re still unsure of. He was merely teased in the magazine scans which confirmed/revealed Blue Beet. But now that an actual physical sample is on disaplay, at the Akiba Showroom no less, we should be getting concrete details on this figures release very very soon.

Updated: More new images courtesy of TagHobby!

As for fans hoping for a North American release of these figure via Bluefin, definitely make your voices heard. Bluefin Tamashii is aware that there could be demand for these toys with collectors. Let them know it! Tell them you want the Blue Stinger Beetleborg, tell them you want Shadowborg/General Venjix! Get out there and make some noise on twitter @TamashiiNations and on Bluefin’s facebook page!

Hot on the heels of the recently released Arms Change Kiwami Arms, the Bandai Tamashii website has just revealed S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms!

This ultimate form for Kamen Rider Gaim is certainly given the collector’s line overhaul compared to the budgeted retail version. So far we know it will be released in November for 5180 yen, but other than the two versions of the DJ Gun included with it, we don’t know what other accessories it may have. But based on the price it’s sure to have at least one or two!

LOCK ON! 

k2eizo has a juicy new Gaim video for us: taking a look at the Capsule Lock Seed series 9, containing Orange, Banana, Grape, Melon, and Durian!

You might be thinking “Didn’t we get those already?” and yes, we did however the fresh twist here is that these Locks contain phrases recorded from their respective actors designed to work intandom with the pre-existing sounds, much like the Phillip and Shotaro Gaia Memory from W. The neat thing is that while in the Sengoku Driver, you’ll get extra phrases instead of the usual Au lait, Sparking, and Squash sounds.

Some of you may be asking “Really? Is this NEWS?” … and yes, yes it is. Because not only for minipla collectors is it frustrating when your ripped open box is thrown away (cuz the instructions are on the box), but now you can download them and be able to look at them with your hearts content. And for those asking about news – well, there’s news here too.

Bandai Japan has been kind enough to post the instructions online for most of the Ressha Sentai ToQGer Miniplas. This is great news for collectors who have misplaced them or simply had the boxes thrown away or too damaged to read (or you didn’t put the stickers on and…whoops). Also of note – Build Ressha has the instructions posted and this item has not yet released. It’s a great first-look at, in a way, how the toy is going to work and combine with the others.

Again – click here to check out the manuals. And kudos to Bandai Japan – this is a great thing for us Minipla collectors! Hope to see more series put up in the future!
