An early image of the next Arms Change figure has turned up online, giving us our first look at Gaim’s “Jinba” Arms in toy form!

The Jinba AC piece is divided into four separate folding faces, meaning that this one figure can transform into all four of Gaim’s “Jinba” configurations! (for reference, the Jinba forms are Orange blended with Lemon Energy, Cherry Energy, Peach Energy or the previously-unrevealed Melon Energy).

This Arms Change release is expected to be out in stores late February/early March and should be available at the standard 3000 Yen pricepoint.

And we’re back with another Ultra-Act gallery! You may remember our little segment on Let’s Watch Wednesdays last year featuring Ultraman Nexus. Is so you’re in luck, today’s gallery is of none other than Ultraman Noa!

Noa is the true and Ultimate form of The Next & Ultraman Nexus. A being of immeasurable power Noa has protected his universe for hundreds of thousands of years. Dark Zagi was even cloned from Noa by the Visitors in the hopes of creating a second great hero. In an ironic twist of this relationship the Ultra-Act Noa figure is a remold of Ultra-Act Dark Zagi instead. As yet another excellent addition to the Ultra-Act line, Noa has received a gorgeous design & sculpt as well as selection of accessories despite his extremely limited appearances.

It’s time for another trip down memory lane with the original dionsaur sentai. From Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger it’s S.H. Figuarts Armed Tyranno Ranger! This recent Tamashii Web Exclusive release is better known to western fans as the Mighty Morphin Armored Red Ranger, it was released in North American markets by Bluefin in Power Rangers 20th Anniversary packaging.

This figure represents Geki, Tyranno Ranger, after the death of Burai/Dragon Ranger. He inherited the Dragon Ranger powers from his brother and with them control over the mighty Dragon Caesar! This event was interpreted in the US MMPR adaptation as the Green Ranger powers being weakened and requiring a temporary host in the Red Ranger. The real world explanation for this is the above Zyuranger scenario, at the time no more footage was available of the Green Ranger. In the source footage he was literally dead. It wasn’t until the “Zyu2” footage was created by Toei that the Green Ranger could return on temporary occasions.

Overall this figure takes the best elements of both Tyranno & Dragon Rangers and crafts one excellent toy with them. If you have either of the other 2 figures you may feel this one is superfluous. Trust us, it isn’t. It’s another excellent addition to any Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger/Mighty Morphin Power Rangers collection and will complement your other figures well.
