In a rather surprising turn of events, our friends at Mattel just revealed the latest piece to join their line up of SDCC exclusives; as you may have already guessed it’s none other than the Hot Wheels Spider Machine GP7 from Toei’s Spider-Man!

For those unfamiliar with the Toei’s take on the iconic web-slinger: Spider-Man in this show is a motorcycle racer named Takuya Yamashiro. He gains spider powers to fight off the Iron Cross Army. In addition to being used as transportation, the Spider Machine GP7 activates a warship called the Marveller, which can transform into a giant robot called Leopardon, and that very car is faithfully recreated here by Hot Wheels.

Do note that attendees must pre-order off Mattel’s website first, then confirm their badge number at Mattel’s booth at SDCC the day of the show. Pre-orders will not ship out until after SDCC comes to a close. 

At the moment, we don’t know if Mattel plans on releasing this piece to mass retail once SDCC is over, but we’ll be sure to give you an update once more info regarding this is available.

Bandai is going retro with this next entry in the popular Super Minipla line. If you haven’t already guessed from the title, the next Super Sentai series that will be getting this treatment will be from none other than 1981’s Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan and presumably Sun Vulcan Robo.

For fans of Sun Vulcan, this Minipla kit will provide a great alternative for those that may not be able to afford or find the original Godakin release.

At the moment, not much else is known about the release as all we have is the teaser announcement to go on. We’ll be sure to update you once Bandai releases photos of the prototype in the near future.

You may recall that around this time last year, we were all awaiting the first images of Kamen Rider Zi-O. When the first teaser silhouette did eventually surface, it was of a very generic variety. A featureless rounded silhouette that gave nothing away. It would seem now that, this type of initial teaser may become the standard, as it’s being used once again for initial Kamen Rider Zero-One solicits.

The image that’s circulating now features the sound rounded featureless generic design. And given that Zero-One will be the first Reiwa Rider, some secrecy around his finalized design is to be expected. So there’s no real information to be gleaned from this solicit. Other than that, this catalog image does confirm the collectible gimmick for this year as the “Insert Card”.

As more information becomes available for Kamen Rider Zero-One we’ll be sure to update you. Given the time of year it is, it’s only a matter of time before both the gimmick for the series and the finalized design of Zero-One leak online. This initial image came via the Candy Toy Sentai CTS Facebook page.
