After a brief teaser of this release earlier in the week, Tamashii Nations has fully revealed and confirmed release details for S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai!
It’s been a few months since a new figure from Kamen Rider Hibiki has been announced or released, the last couple being Zanki and Todoroki. So it’s refreshing to see this long overdue form finally make it’s debut in the Seihou line. Since Hibiki’s release in the line 6 years ago, it’s been hoped by fans that the difficult to procure mold would see re-release in this gorgeous form.
Now we can expect to see it finally Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai release this July for 7150 yen!
ULTIMATE EVOLUTION!

Premium Bandai has revealed their next exclusive release for the Super Minipla collector line.

“It’s Morphin’ Time!”
Jason Lee Scott, was just a normal high school student. That is until an inter-dimensional being and his robot sidekick recruited the budding martial artist to be a hero. Jason, along with 4 of his friends, were transported to the Command Center, bestowed with the powers of the ancient dinosaurs, and tasked with a mission. Defeat Rita Repulsa and her evil monsters and defend the Earth as the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! With mighty Morphers and a massive Megazord, Jason lead the Power Rangers in their fight against Rita, and even greater evils to come!
The Power Rangers Lightning Collection has moved swiftly in the last year, Wave 4 having been recently found at retail and a two-pack featuring Rita & Zedd having been revealed as well. Our review of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger finally rounds out our reviews of Wave 3. A bit more of a standard release if you’ve had an experience with the male MMPR mold before, the Red Ranger is still a welcome sight for anyone who didn’t manage to get the SDCC 2019 two-pack featuring the Dragon Shield version of the figure. With a Blade Blaster, Power Sword, lightning effect, and a civilian head, this release makes for a perfect entry in any collection.
Check out 50+ images of the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger after the jump by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back next time with a long overdue gallery of Lightning Collection Lost Galaxy Red Ranger & Psycho Red Ranger!
Bandai has published the first official images for the next Super Sentai Mecha release in their Super Minipla model lineup- the Victory Robo from 1999’s KyuKyu Sentai GoGo V (or, if you prefer the American adaptation- Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.)
This minipla release features all five of the 99 Machines used by the GoGo V team- Red Ladder, Blue Thrower, Green Hover, Yellow Armor, & Pink Aider. The new figures are able to perfectly recreate Victory Robos’ iconic combination sequence and a variety of action poses.
Sadly, price & release date for the Super Minipla Victory Robo have not been confirmed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable toyline!
Next week the first official Tamashii CyberFest will launch – a digital version of the Tamashii Nation event Bandai hold at the end of each year. Gearing up to the launch of the festival, the official @t_features Twitter account has released a sneak preview of some the figures that will be on show at the event. Among the new tokusatsu offerings are the long awaited S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Ace, and a surprise new addition – S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Hibiki Kurenai!
Stay tuned to Tokunation for more information on these figures and Tamashii CyberFest 2020 as it comes!
A new entry for the fan-favorite Lightning Collection action figure series has just been revealed!
Two of Power Rangers most iconic villains will be receiving a special release- the evil Lord Zedd and his bride, Rita Repulsa!
While Zedd received a release in the Lightning Collections’ first wave, his figure was short-packed and somewhat difficult to find. Rita Repulsa is a welcome new addition to the Lightning Collection lineup!
The two pack is listed as the couples’ Silver Wedding Anniversary special- since it has indeed been TWENTY-FIVE YEARS since the airing of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers “The Wedding” when Zedd & Rita tied the knot.
Lightning Collections’ Silver Wedding Anniversary set will be available exclusively at GameStop with an expected release window of August 2020. The price is a modest $49.99 USD!
