Thanks to the ever watchful Gigabeetle on Twitter we have our very first look at this years movie exclusive mecha! Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger’s summer film will feature a new unseen Zyudenchi, #00 Tobaspino! Accute listeners will realize that the name Tobaspino is spoken in the final chorus of the shows ending theme every few episodes.

This scan confirms that Tobaspino will indeed be a repaint/remold of Gabutyra and that it’s combined form SpinoDaiOh is a combination of Tobaspino, Ankydon, and Bunpachy! Even more interesting is that this scan confirms Tobaspino will have his own movie exclusive partner Kyoryuger! Let the speculation on this characters name and identity run wild!

Earlier this year, we posted a picture featuring Gavan Type-G standing amongst his fellow Metal Heroes- Janperson, Jiraiya, Jiban, SyncRedder, B-Fighter’s Blue Beet and Kabuto. Well, new scans shown reveal that they may not be the actual Metal Heroes after all…but the Gokaigers transformed into them using the Metal Hero Ranger Keys!

Does this mean we may get another Movie Ranger Key release like the OOO Key Set during the run of Super Hero Taisen last year? Only time will tell!

Kamen Rider OOO’s DX Roleplay toys are now out in Korea and we have some videos and photos demonstrating the gimmicks.

While the toys function exactly like the Japanese release, the sounds have been changed to better match the Korean dub of the show, much like past roleplay toys from the last couple of years.

Thanks to a user on Hatena Diary we have an EXTENSIVE look at the new minpla Kyoryuzin from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger! We’ve been provided with boxed, pre-build, full build, and mid transformation shots alike. Unfortunately it looks like some liberties had to be taken with Kyoryuzins’ design to achieve this figure, such as the removal of the Zyudenchi (beast batteires) from the design. Instead Gabutyra has permanently fixed black cylinders under his chin and tail which act as arm connectors.

We’ve hosted a selection of the images from this set here. Click the link to go and check out the full, and massive, image gallery of this latest minipla release!
