DX Genesis Driver Review Part 1
Thanks to a toy listing from a Japanese store, we have our first images of the upcoming Arms Change Kamen Rider Gridon with Dandeliner set releasing in January 2014! Click the story title to check out all the images!
Have you pre-ordered Kamen Rider Gridon yet? And how do you think he will compare to some of the more popular characters already in the Arms Change line, like Kamen Rider Baron and Kamen Rider Zangetsu? Share your thoughts!!
This is by no means a new gallery (Den-O actually did this back on New Year’s Day to start off 2013), but we thought it was fitting today to bring up this gallery and share it with you again. When Ikari Gai – aka Gokai Silver – learned that he had the power to change and combine his Ranger Keys if he concentrated enough, he decided to combine the keys of Captain Marvelous and Doc to create Gokai Christmas, a half-red and half-green Gokaiger!
Click here to check out the gallery! Don’t forget to let us know what you got for Christmas this year! You can find that on-going discussion thread by clicking here! Once again, Merry Christmas to all those celebrating today!
A new trio of magazine scans have been making the rounds featuring three possible S.I.C releases.
The first two come from Kamen Rider OOO’s movies: TaMashi Combo from Lets Go! Kamen Rider and Super TaToBa from Movie Taisen Megamax.
But the last might come off as a shock to some…with Love Combo being featured.
Unfortunately, the scans give no indication if these figures will ever see the light of day, and one of the scans indicates that Love Combo could become part of S.i.C Hero Saga, a side story told through pictures and dioramas whose set pieces very rarely sees an actual release. More updates on these figures when we have them.
Rounding off this batch of Tamashii Webstore preorders is a renewal version of Ultra-Act Imitation Ultraman! This evil doppelganger of the hero and disguise of Alien Zarab comes packaged with alternate hands, replacement color timer, ultra water flow effect part and an extremely cool scaled Hoshino climbing a rope for the figure to hold.
Imitation Ultraman Renewal will be released in May 2014 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, priced 4536 yen.
Due for release in May 2014 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is a Super Imaginative Chogokin re-imagining of Kamen Rider Skyrider! The star of the sixth Kamen Rider series is rather light on accessories, coming packaged with 2 replacement hands, 2 alternate mufflers and a stand-set.
SIC Kamen Rider Skyrider is priced 5940 yen, so be sure to get your orders in with middlemen soon!
Continuing the Tamashii Webstore‘s Christmas Eve listings is the S.H. Figuarts Auto Vaijin from Kamen Rider 555! This special transforming bike will be available as a single release and in a 2-pack bundle with the previously released Kamen Rider Faiz. While the 2-pack will also include all of Faiz’s accessories, the Autovaijin also comes packaged with replacement head, alternate hands (for both figures), Buster Wheel, Faiz case and a wheel stand.
Both editions of the figure will be released as Tamashii Web Exclusives in May 2014, priced 5400 yen for the single release and 8856 yen for the 2-pack.
Revealed only last week Bandai has already put up official images for the upcoming S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin! These much clearer images really show off the amazing organic insect design of the Shin suit. Shown to include an alternate head with open mouth and extra sets of hands, Shin is lite on accessories but then again what else would they really be able to include? Shin is unfortunately one of several bike-less riders.
S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin will be released in May 2014 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 4320 yen.
Being teased mere days ago via magazine scans S.H. Figuarts Tricera Ranger, AKA Mighty Morphin’ Blue Ranger, is official! Confirmed as a Tamashii Web Exclusive this figure will be released in May 2014 for 3780 yen. The release of this figures brings both Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers even closer to team completion!
The Bluefin Distribution of this figure will likely be a mass retail release for North American retailers like their previous release in the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers line.
Late last week we got a ton of looks at some brand new figures coming down the pipeline for S.H. Figaurts. Thanks to Toy World HK we have a roundup of new images for S.H Figuarts Tricera Ranger(MMPR Blue), Auto Vaijin & Faiz 2-pack, and Kamen Rider Shin.
Though a bit grainy the images do reveal some new details. Tricera Ranger will of course include his Triceralances, Auto Vaijin will include the Smart Brain suit case for the Faiz Gear, and Kamen Rider Shin appears to have an alternate head with his mouth molded open.
