Another image from Figuroh magazine has surfaced. While this page might be featuring the forthcoming Figuarts Black RX and Acrobatter renewal releases the scan reveals that following Mammoth Ranger, the next of the Zyuranger and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures will be none other than Tricera Ranger!

Unfortunately, the image is so small that none of his release details can be made out more on that when it becomes available.

The 10th Anniversary of Kamen Rider 555 (or “Faiz” if you prefer) is next year, and in preparation for this event Bandai is preparing a new special release of Faiz’ bike- the transforming Auto-Vajin!

Teased for release a few months back, a new preview gallery has come online. The Figuarts AutoVajin appears to be fully transformable!

Full reveal is apparently set for Christmas Day, so stay tuned for further details!

As part of the Super imaginative Chogokin’s 15th Anniversary, Tamashi held an interview with two members of the design team: Gojima and Yasufuji.

In the interview, the two discuss topics ranging from the success of the Kamen Rider OOO releases to the up coming Shin Ichigo figure. Thanks to HenshinJustice, a portion of this interview was translated:
Yasufuji: Now, we are working with Nakashima Kenichi along with the digital expert Ito in a 4 person system/structure. At the current moment, we’re mostly focusing on the coloring, but soon I think we’ll build up inertia. For now, the work process is like, I make a right arm and pass it along… They say, “And now the left arm please.”

Gojima: “In 3 days!” And I’m like only 3 days…? It’s all purely hand crafted, so anyone with a free hand does what they can.

Yasufuji: And when some of those things come up, I think “Nope… that’s not right.” and start fixing it. (giggle) Neither side seems strange by themselves, but when we put them together, sometimes they seem a bit off. When working with solids, sometimes things just have an interesting shape.

Gojima: Basically, it’s just that over and over again. We kept fixing things so much, I moved into Yasufuji’s area! (more giggles)

– The current “Kamen Rider 000″ Series is really popular, isn’t it!

Yasufuji: With the last S.I.C. series, it was mainstream to have retrofitting parts to make different characters, but many of the the hardcore fans said, “We’ll buy the different characters anyway, so you don’t have to do it that way!” (again with the giggles) Recently, that gimmick has been seen as a waste. In that vein, we traded in “retrofitting” for “play value”, The OOO arms and legs can be exchanged to depict scenes from the show. But, we’re worried about how accurate we have to be with these parts. In the show, these effects only last for an instant, so we have questions like, “What is the original shape of the grasshopper hero’s leg?” (Giggle) So, until the first round of Tatobakobo go out on sale, we were breaking out in a cold sweat. But overall they were received well, so we were relieved.

Gojima: In an attempt to compliment us, they were called “Gross” on the net.

Come on, Banana Arms!

Following our recent gallery of Arms Change Kamen Rider Gaim we now take a look at the Knight of Spear himself, Arms Change Kamen Rider Baron! Just as with Gaim, Baron is a fantastic and affordable figure that strikes a great balance between design and functionality. Arms Change figures are quickly rising in price as more and more children and collectors alike catch this fever. Just ask most Tokunation members and you’ll see these figures are highly demanded and worth the price. Get yours before prices rise further than they already have!

Along with the two secondary Rider Lock Seeds, there’s a video demonstration Decade Rider Lock Seed with LEDs from reviewer catmovie1985.

Suggested for use with either Gaim or Zangetsu’s faceplates, the Decade Lock Seed declares “Decade Arms! Destroyer On the Road!” In addition to “Final Attack Ride De-De-Decade!” “Kamen Ride Decade!” And lastly “Final Form Ride De-De-De-Decade!” 

Check out his video in the box below:

MoonBaseTom is at it again bringing us yet another minipla/candy toy gallery from Tensou Sentai Goseiger!

Today we take a look at Gosei Ultimate! Made from the cornerstone of the new Tower of Heaven, the Ultimate is the final mecha introduced in the series appearing first in Epic 32. Able to change from it’s own robot mode to a flying vehicle mode, Gosei Ultimate also features a rather odd combination with Gosei Great where it becomes a flying jet pack to form Ultimate Gosei Great!
