April 29th marks the release of the long-awaited Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin, and in the lead up to this date Bandai Tamashii Nations‘ official Instagram account has revealed that the toy will receive exclusive Power Rangers packaging for its release in the US from Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA.

Whereas the Japanese Daizyujin release follows the SOC line’s fairly standard packaging format, the American release will include a more dynamic image, naturally retitling the toy as the Megazord alongside the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers logo.

Which version will you be getting? Sound off after the jump!

Despite Tamashii Nations delving into more and more properties in recent years, it’s been a rather quiet time for the S.H. MonsterArts line. After the exciting coverage of Godzilla‘s Heisei era and a quick delve into the Millennium films, Legendary Pictures 2014 film and even the Gamera franchise, the line seemed to stop altogether with only a few repaints trickling through.

However things may be about to change, with the Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA Facebook page teasing a release that’s sure to excite. After cryptically posting the poster for the 2001 film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant All-Out Monsters Attack! (also known to fans as) on their Facebook page earlier in the week, today they have also released an image of foot looking rather like that of Godzilla’s. Better yet is that the accompanying post states that the foot is articulated, which hopefully indicates a fully poseable figure rather than a statue (a direction some have speculated the SMHA line may have been heading towards).

Is the 2001 GMK version of Godzilla about to join the S.H. MonsterArts line? Bluefin also revealed that the figure will be going up for preorder next week so be sure to check back for more news!

Our very own Kickback is back! This time he interviewed Adam Newman from Tamashii Nations, who was at the Bluefin booth.  From the interview, Adam talked about the state of the market when it comes to Figuarts, from Sentai/Power Ranger to Kamen Riders, and Anime in general.

Tamashii Nations USA is taking a break from anything Power Rangers related for SDCC, in fact, while MMPR related product sold very well (Figuarts White Ranger was their best ever), Figuarts that aren’t MMPR didn’t do so well.  For example, the Figuarts Zero MMPR Red Ranger is being shelved because Tamashii Nations is less than satisfied with how the Figuarts Zero MMPR Green Ranger performed.

The overall state of Figuarts is doing very well however, in fact, the Figuarts market; when it comes to Kamen Rider and Anime properties, are growing so fast that Tamashii Nations had to restrategize so they can keep up with the demands.  Kamen Rider is doing so well that any past or new Kamen Rider characters has a chance to be made.  As for Sentai, if Ninninger can gain enough popularity, it’s entirely possible for Tamashii Nations to consider making the Figuarts as well.

When it comes to Power Ranger news, Tamashii Nations said that repackaging Kyoryuger Figuarts into Dino Charge is entirely possible, something for them to consider.  Tamashii also has interests to partner up with Saban Brands and Bandai of America to do something MMPR Movie related, but it would have to depend on how the movie progresses.

Now for a bit of good news: While Kamen Rider Gaim Figuarts aren’t currently being displayed at SDCC 2015, it is still being distributed by BlueFin, so look forward to that at your favorite retail outlet.  Also a nice tidbit for Dragon Ball fans out there, apparently the new reissue of Dragon Ball Figuarts will come with updated parts, such as hands and possibly faces, be sure to collect them all

Stay tuned as TokuNation brings you more update, pictures, and interviews from SDCC 2015,

Great news toy collectors! Arguably the best S.H. Figuarts figure to release in 2014 is going to be available in the United States wherever Bluefin Tamashii Nations products are sold! Bluefin Tamashii Nations has let us know that Toei has approved the licensing issues behind the S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim characters. What does this mean? It means that any non Tamashii Web Exclusive S.H. Figuarts for Kamen Rider Gaim can be released in the United States. On top of that – S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim (the upcoming reissue) will be released in the United States!

Stay tuned for more exciting news coming out of Toy Fair 2015 for Bluefin Tamashii Nations! We’ll be at the show as will our sister site ToyArk.com! If you haven’t already, check out our gallery of the original release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gaim.
