For those unfamiliar with the franchise: Super Robot Wars is Banpresto’s crossover series which traditionally combines characters and plot lines from various Mecha animes into one stratagey RPG video game, but it seems like the franchise is making it’s leap into the live action genre, with Super Sentai making it’s first debut into the game. 

Super Robot Wars X-Omega is the franchise’s mobile game avalaible for devices running IOS and Android software  , and Zyuranger’s Daizyujin will be avalaible for a limited time beginning in May as a special promotion character to tie in with the release of the Soul of Chogokin.

As Bandai of Japan & Banpresto hold their annual summer toy festival we’re seeing a lot of what we’ve seen before in terms of our favorite Japanese heroes. However a few new items have snuck out and onto display that we haven’t quite seen yet. In some cases we’ve got better shots of a few things we’ve only glimpsed til now.

On display at the moment are the various minipla from Ressha Sentai ToQger including the upcoming Safari Ga Oh as well as several other combinations like Cho Cho ToQ Dai Oh. But of special note is the upcoming Rainbow Clear SP set of ToQ Oh & Diesel Oh! This set was initially revealed via an imageless Amiami pre-order but now we can see them in their wonderful translucent glory.

While we’re on ToQger some new vinyls have also been unveiled which will definitely please fans of the series. Joining the likes of General Schwartz & the Kuros is Baron Nero of the Shadow Line! On top of that we have some ToQ Changed versions of  ToQ 1 in Pink & Yellow!

Topping things off for Kamen Rider Gaim is the previously revealed DX Yomi Lock Seed & Arms Change Ryugen Yomotsu Heguri Arms which are also on display here. Finally have some better close up shots of the pair. And the placard next to Ryugen apparently confirms that he will indeed come with the Overlord’s weapons! And not to be left out Banpresto has some more Dual Solid Hero Kamen Rider figures on display as well!

As a self-proclaimed giant Kamen Rider Gaim fan, I had no qualms with purchasing this statue from Banpresto! What I didn’t expect was just how amazing this statue is – both with the details and the overall quality – and it is now become a centerpiece for my Kamen Rider Gaim collection!

Standing at over a foot tall with the stand, the statue is hallow making it light weight. The paint is, for the most part, perfectly applied (there’s some smearing on the leg paint where there’s gold on the criss-cross pattern of his suit). But the details on everything from the visor, the Sengoku Driver, the Pine and Ichigo Lockseeds, the Musou Saber, and the armor itself makes this statue a must-own for any die-hard fan of Kamen Rider Gaim.

Banpresto has a juicy announcement for us…with the announcement of Kamen Rider Gaim: Orange Arms making a splash in the R/D Real Deformed toy line.

The R/D Line is offered as a prize figure in video arcades throughout Japan…because of this, the exact price of the figure isn’t known but we do know that the toy will be in circulation starting February.

If the DX Watermelon Arms seems out of reach to you, Banpresto’s revealed a perfect substitute.

While it might not transform or have much in the way of articulation, Banpresto did reveal that they will be making a Suika Arms to go with their super deformed WFC line.

Price and Release dates will be announced at a later date, but we do know that the figure will stand 14mm tall to be properly in scale with the rest of the figure waves.

Banpresto has a new line of Kamen Rider trading figures in store for us!

At prize Fair 2013, they unveiled a new line called UFC Micro, and Volume 1 of the series will have Heisei era Kamen Riders from Kuuga all the way up to Gaim represented in a microscopic form.

At 15mm, the figures are barely bigger than a man’s finger and an impressive amount of paint work and detailing went into these tiny figurines. They will be in circulation starting June 2014.
