“Let’s leave light in the dust!”

2017 is shaping up to be the year of the Metal Heroes! The momentum for this new golden age of Toei’s 3rd big franchise started in 2012, with Gavan Vs Gokaiger which set the precedent for future Metal Hero/Sentai crossovers. Flash forward to 2017 with the release of Space Squad: Gavan Vs Dekaranger and we get a brand new figuart as well, S.H. Figuarts Space Sheriff Gavan Type G Space Squad Version!

The Space Squad version of Gavan Type G is meant to be a renewal of sorts for the old original mold. One that was riddled with quality issues. I’m happy to report though that this time around, Gavan Type G is much improved physically! One big thing that really sets this release apart from the first though is the new Laser Blade Origin. A powerful new weapon that forged on Juspions’ home world. And luckily we get 3 variations of this new weapon.

We’ve attached a mere selection of the full gallery to this post. If you click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post then you can view over 100 images of Gavan Type G and the various heroes of Space Squad!

The butterfly effect of Bandai’s premium & popular Shinkocchou Seihou sub-line of Figuarts has finally reached Rider Machines! While not officially labeled as an S.S. release, the brand new S.H. Figuarts Hardboilder is undoubtedly a renewal meant to replace the original release of this bike.

Hardboilder is of course the faithful ride of Kamen Rider W, and a perfect companion piece to the Shinkocchou Seihou W Figuart released last year. While this renewal definitely won’t be as significantly different from the original as many others have been in recent years, it is on the whole a more accurate and well proportioned update.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you can see the full 40 image gallery after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back soon with a brand new gallery from Space Sheriff Gavan!

Tamashii Nations Shanghai is in full swing! You may recall that a couple months back we heard our first confirmation that Bandai/Tamashii Nations had finally acquired the license to produce toys for the Pacific Rim franchise. At the time the only offering previewed was a rough prototype of the Soul of Chogokin Gypsy Danger. But as of today we can get excited about one more upcoming product as well!

Shown off for the first time is the brand new Robot Damashii Gypsy Avenger from Pacific Rim 2! This successor to the original Gypsy Danger, piloted by the son of Stacker Pentecost, is so far the first product revealed for the highly anticipated sequel. But we’re sure it’s far form the last. For now this release doesn’t have any confirmed release details this far out from the films release on February 23rd, 2018, but we’ll certainly keep you updated as more details become available this year!

Now, let’s cancel the apocalypse!

FUSION UP!

Tamashii Nations World Tour makes its next stop in Shanghai China,  and a plethora of new S.H.Figuarts releases from Ultraman Orb have been revealed at the event, with photos courtesy of users from Weibo.

Kicking us off, we have S.H.Figuarts Juggulus Juggler and Spacium Zeprion being the only two that have a confirmed price and release date: Juggulus Juggler will retail for 6500 yen slated to come out in January 2018, while Spacium Zeperion will come out in December for 5500 yen. It is unclear whether or not the pair will be mass retail release, or some exclusive to some site or storefront.

In addition, Ultraman Orb’s other forms: Burnmite, Hurricane Slash, and Thunder Breaster were also on display but with display only labels, so it is unclear if those three will ever see release to the public.

“You truly are the best opponent I could have asked for!”

The first of the Promised Number arrives in the S.H. Figuarts line up! An extensive and elaborate repaint of the original Heart Roidmude, this figure represents the charismatic villains ultimate evolution. This is S.H. Figuarts Over Evolved Heart Roidmude!

As mentioned above this figure is nothing more than a repaint of the original Heart Roidmude. So that does mean that the physical & functional shortcomings of this mold will still persist as they always have. However the glorious golden paint scheme, the dark paint wash, and bright purple used on Over Evolved Heart bring out all of it’s best details & personality. This figure may still be limited, but Heart has never looked better than he does here. He does however still have a very limited selection of accessories, just the same 3 sets of hands that came with the first release. Here’s hoping that eventually the Brain Roidmude prototype that was shown off a while back will be able to join Heart one day.

We’ve attached a selection of images to this post, but you check out the full 50 image gallery after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Next time we’ll be back with a gallery from Kamen Rider W!

Earlier today we had confirmation of this release and mere moments later official images began to circulate. S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special is officially on the way and looking great.

Type Special reuses much of the new parts created for the Dark Drive figuart that’s releasing in August. But we do see a new shift car, tire, head and chest to set this release apart. Unsurprisingly, Type Special does not come with the Signal Axe or Handle Sword in these photos. Those are only here to demonstrate that the figure can use them. 4 sets of hands and 4 Shift Cars round out the entire package of accessories sadly.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Drive Type Special will be release in November as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 6264 yen. Get in touch with your preferred middleman or service now to reserve yours!
