With Bandai America’s Power Rangers toyline winding down before Hasbro takes the brand in a new direction next year, one of the last releases the company has to offer has just been spotted at US retail.  The Gamestop Exclusive Legacy Armored Red Ranger was just spotted at retail by Mando Arriaga over at the Power Rangers Traders, Buyers, and Sellers facebook page!

As one of the tail end releases in the line, the Armored Red Ranger has made the packaging change the rest of the most recent Legacy product has like Psycho Red, Dino Thunder White etc.  So it’ll fit right in with your other end of the line purchases. As one of the last new Legacy 6.5″ releases to hit retail, will you be hunting this figure down yourself? Let us know in the thread linked below!

New Sodo figures were unveiled at the Autumn Miyazawa Model Exhibition held recently in Japan. This gives our first look at the upcoming Shodo-X Wave 4 figures which appear to be Kamen Rider Ryuki themed with Ryuki himself, Knight, and Contract Monster Dragreder prominently on display.

In addition to those, we have the next wave of SO-DO Kamen Rider Zi-O figures: SO-DO Kamen Rider Zi-O Ride4 on display.  Ride4 will feature the OOO, Kabuto, Blade, and Kiva armor times. This also gives us our first clear look at the full Kiva and Blade Armor Times themselves with more in the wave yet to be revealed.

The Shodo-X Ryuki wave won’t be released till April 2019 while you can look forward to SO-DO Zi-O Ride4 in December of this year.

RIDER TIME!

For those of us that have been watching Kamen Rider Zi-O and clamoring for merch based on the Another Riders, we got you covered; P-Bandai just announced a DX Another Rider Ride Watch set.

The set will retail for 3,240 yen with pre-orders beginning November 1st, 2018. This set will contain ride watches for Another Build, Another Ex-Aid, Another Fourze, Another Faiz, and finally Another Wizard.

There is, however, a catch: all of the sounds will be contained in one Ride Watch block, the actual faceplates don’t appear to unlock any new sounds and are only there for cosmetic purposes only, while the block itself is programmed to cycle through all the sounds.  

UPDATE:

The pre order link is now up! The Another Ride Watch set will be coming out sometime March 2019.

DENJI GATTAI!

The much teased about Super Minipla Galaxy Mega and Delta Mega is finally getting ready for production and thanks to that: new stock photos for the pair have finally come out, giving us a good look at not only the two in space-ship mode but also the combined Super Galaxy Mega form.

At the time of this writing, the release info for the two isn’t really clear. The pair were exhibited at the All Japan Model and Hobby Show which took place during the weekend. From there, the placard on display suggests that they will see release in January 2019 for 3,200 yen though whether this is for the two of them together or for them individually remains to be seen.

In the meantime, you can stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll be sure to update this article as more info becomes available.

Bandai was certainly quick to hop aboard the S.H.Figuarts Ultraman R/B train this year, here are our first teaser images for the S.H.Figaurts Ultraman R/B line.

Four Figuarts were shown: S.H.Figuarts Ultraman Rosso Flame, S.H.Figuarts Blu Water, S.H.Figuarts Rosso Wind, and finally S.H.Figuarts Blu Ground along with what appears to be personalized Tamashii Act stage stands to correspond with each Ultraman form.
