Toei has revealed a number of supporting cast members for the upcoming 43rd Super Sentai series, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

These are the Master Rangers– the predecessors of the current team who have retired from active duty & begun training the next generation of heroes. The Masters are armed with basic silver swords rather than the traditional RyuSoulKen weapons wielded by the RyuSoulgers.

Each Master is played by a tokusatsu veteran:

*Master Red is portrayed by Masaya Kikawada– previously known as Ichigo in Kamen Rider: The First.
*The role of Master Blue is played by Jouji Shibue who previously portrayed Kamen Rider Ibuki in Kamen Rider Hibiki.
*And Master Pink is portrayed by Miyuu Sawai best known for the title role in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

Last but certainly not least is the mysterious Elder of the RyuSoul Tribe. This figure is the overseer of all RyuSoulgers, past and present. The Elder will be played by Jiro Dan, best known for the role of Ultraman Jack.

Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger is scheduled to begin on March 17 2019! Be sure to join in our Ongoing RyuSoulger Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this remarkable new series!

FUTURE TIME!

It wasn’t that long ago that Bandai unveiled S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz in all of his glory, and that he’d be released at mass retail. It hasn’t even been a day yet, and already Bandai’s Tamashii pick up page was updated with new photos of this future Rider.

Woz’s signature Zikan Despear weapon will be included, in the Figureoh scan, it showed that it will include parts to create its other modes. It doesn’t appear that his Ride Watches are detailed, a trend which sadly started with Zi-O and Geiz and themselves.

None of the less, S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz will be released July 2019 for 5940 yen.

“I think I was destined to choose this path.”

Little did Sougo Tokiwa know, his childhood dreams of being a great king were prophetic in a way. Should they ever come to pass, they could create the desolate future ruled by Sougo’s own evil self, the overlord Oma Zi-O! In the present, Sougo journey’s down the path of the overlord, defeating Another Riders as Kamen Rider Zi-O! But with the Day of Oma approaching, will Zi-O become the evil overlord? Or will Kamen Rider Geiz, the Time Jackers, Kamen Rider Woz, or even Kamen Rider Decade, manage to contain his power? Time, will tell…

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O kicks off this year’s new Figuarts sub-line as a pretty solid release. While assuredly many will take issue with this figure’s lack of accessories (which are included with the Ride Striker) this figure has a lot to offer and lots of personality. Zi-O is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. Though Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva still hasn’t been released, seeing Zi-O with his fellow lead riders is still quite the sight. And if you happen to have a DX Time Mazine as I do, you’ll find that Figuarts Zi-O works quite well with him. Zi-O also compliments Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade marvelously.

“Woz! WOZ!”

It’s that time of the month and Figure Oh scans are making their way out into the wild. This month, thanks to twitter user @Tesuka_ we have our very first look at S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Woz!

In a rather surprising turn of events it would appear that Kamen Rider Woz is a retail release. This means that all 3 main riders from Zi-O will be non-exclusive releases. This stands in contrast to last season, as Kamen Rider Build himself was a retail release while Cross-Z, Grease, and Rogue all wound up as exclusives. So Zi-O is taking a play out of Ex-Aids book by making the primary 3 retail releases at least.

Woz is headed to collectors in July 2019 for 5940 yen. Keep an eye out for a full set of official images as well as pre-orders in the near future.

“Hell Bros. At your service.”

The orphans Fu & Rai Washio were indoctrinated by Juzoburo Nanba, and raised to be weapons for the 3-sided war for the nation. Making use of the Nebula Steam Gun, the Washio brothers became Engine Bros & Remocon Bros! However, faced with the continued evolution of the Kamen Riders that threaten their master’s will, Fu Washio plays his trump card. Uniting the power of the Engine & Remocon Gears, Fu becomes Hell Bros!

S.H. Figuarts Hell Bros is another very familiar release for Build collectors. Using the iconic Night Rogue/Blood Stalk body for a base, Hell Bros builds on this with the gear theme inherited from the Bi-Kaisers. A gorgeous two-tone villain Hell Bros is armed with the versatile transforming Nebula Steam Gun system. If you have any experience with Rogue & Stalk, then you know this will be another great addition to your collection.
