In what’s surely going to surprise many fans and please many others, one of the most short lived riders of the (technically) Showa era will finally receive the S.H. Figuarts treatment! Set for release in May as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is none other than Kamen Rider Shin!

Kamen Rider Shin isn’t entirely recognizable to all fans, mostly because of his very few appearances. Originally intended to be a new Kamen Rider aimed at the now adult fans of the original series, Shin first appeared in Shin Kamen Rider Prologue. As the name implies a series was meant to follow up the film. However that  never materialized because of the films bizarre horror/monster angle and excessive violence which drastically departed from what rider fans had experienced before. Shin would later go on to reappear in All Riders Vs. Dai Shocker, Let’s Go Kamen Riders, and the first Super Hero Taisen.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Shin will be released in May as a Tamashi Web Exclusive for 4320 yen.

Released originally as a Tamashii Web Shop Exclusive in September of 2011, the Greeed Kazari figure from the Kamen Rider OOO series is hard to come by these days without being previously owned – “new/sealed” versions of this figure seem to be non-existent.  Luckily, one individual who does own this figure is our very own photo and content staff member ryan – and he has taken a gallery of images to share with you of this great figure!

 

The figure, coming with the usual hand accessories, also comes with some rather different accessories than you might be used to.

 

or on the link to check out the full gallery of this different S.H. Figuarts figure!  And be sure to let ryan know how much his pictures rock!

We threatened our photo contributor Jmann with sticks, stones, and other nasty things if he didn’t put up some pictures of something.  So he responded with this pretty awesome gallery of Kamen Rider Gills from one of his favorite series Kamen Rider Agito.

 

Check out the full gallery by or by simply clicking the link at the bottom right of this page!

 

What do you think?  Should we keep Jmann around?  Give him some love or give him the ax!

SH Figuarts Alternative Zero has been released! In Kamen Rider Ryuki, Alternative Zero was actually the form of more than 1 person or rather, scientist. Zero isn’t a real Kamen Rider as Kanzaki never gave Kagawa & his crew a card to transform into a Rider(until later). They aimed to destroy the Mirror World and came into conflict with Ryuki and others. One of their group wanted to be a hero and ended up becoming Kamen Rider Tiger.

With the release of Alternative Zero in the SH Figuarts line, the roster of Ryuki characters in the line is almost complete. Hacchaka[/URL] has posted some detailed images of this new figure and we’ve mirrored a select batch. Read on to check them out!

Photo staff member ryan brings us a look at the exclusive Kamen Rider Fourze Effects Set, originally available at the 2012 Tamashii Nations Event.

 

The Fourze Effects Set contains a drill effect, Elek States and Fire States themed Tamashii Act 4 stages bases, three Act 4 stage arms, a smoke effect base, 2 electricity effects, and a flame effect. I would have liked another fire effect of any kind, but what we get is great.

This Set was originally available at the 2012 Tamashii Nations event, and then later at the Tamashii Web Exclusive shop, I recent picked it up on Mandarake for a reasonable price, and am very pleased with it.

Just last week, Godzilla fans and MonsterArts collectors were thrilled to see that the biggest, baddest rosebush on the planet was finally released in Japan in super-articulated form. In only one day, S.H. MonsterArts Biollante has already become the latest and greatest subject of many a 2chan image. Now, courtesy of YouTube user and Japanese toy collector bonorenosan, we have a moving-picture look at Biollante, showing off her box size, articulation, ability to rotate on a motorized stand, and light-up core!

S.H. MonsterArts Biollante is expected to ship in North America courtesy of Bluefin in December at a daikaiju-sized retail price of $229.99 and has been available for preorder at numerous retailers, including our friends at BigBadToyStore.
