Last year, Studio Trigger surprised both the Anime and Toku communities with their hit series: SSSS.Gridman show. We’ve seen no shortage of merchandise from this show, especially when it revolves around two of the show’s most popular female characters: Rikka Takarada and Akane Shinjo. Earlier in the year, Max Factory announced at Winter Wonder Fest that those two aforementioned characters will be coming to the popular Figma line of action figures and we saw the prototype of Rikka Takarada at the event. Max Factory’s finally gearing up to release this figure into the wild, and of course, we now have a plethora of new images for Figma Rikka Takada.

The Figma line is known for coming with a plethora of different accessories, facial expressions, and swappable parts and it seems like Figma Rikka Takarada will be no exception. Figma Rikka Takarada is packed to the brim with different facial expressions, hand options, and hair options for perfect for any occasion or photo gallery in addition to the signature clear display stand that all Figmas come with.

The price for Figma Rika Takarada isn’t known, but we know she’ll be released sometime in November 2019. We’ll be sure to update this article as soon as the pricing is known so stay tuned!

“Hyperlink combine!”

SSSS.Gridman took two communities by storm in the last year. The anime & tokusatsu fandoms were united by the amazing animation studio Trigger’s love letter to the original Denkou Choujin Gridman and it’s near countless references to other tokusatsu of year’s past. The series was short but it’s impact was immense, leading to a near endless stream of related multimedia and products since. Ever since the series ended, fans have been patiently waiting for the promised toys to come of it.

DX Full Power Gridman is the first major attempt to recreate the 5 components of Gridman’s true form. Gridman, Gridman Calibur, Battle Tracto Max, Buster Borr, & Sky Vitter. Each component on it’s own may not do much, but combining Gridman with 1 of each, or assembling them all together can create Full Power Gridman! Or if you so choose to leave Gridman out of the equation entirely, then you can create God Zenon! While there’s a wealth of options with this set in hand, does it actually live up to the hype? We have a very very lengthy written review and photo gallery breaking down how expectations, have met reality.

In a Figuarts Blog update Bandai is showing off the upcoming Machine Kivaa & chair set to go with Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva. This blog post runs the spectrum of various Figuarts taking Kiva’s throne for a spin. From vintage riders like the original Gattack release along with Sasword, all the way to releases of recent years like Kivala and even Kuroto Dan.

However one surprise in this set of photos is the very first official teaser for Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Beast! Sitting upon Kiva’s chair and flanked by Seihou Wizard, Beast looks every bit as impressive as Wizard himself. A brand new mold featuring all of the same modern engineering that the Seihou line has come to be known for. No release details have been revealed yet, but it’s only a matter of time before we hear more about this possible release.
