A new face has been revealed for the upcoming Super Sentai series Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger!

This is the mysterious purple Knight first glimpsed in a preview for the crossover event Super Sentai: Strongest Battle.

The character in question is known as Gaizorg (official spelling may vary). At the moment the story of this new character remains unknown at time of writing- they may be a fellow hero to the RyoSoulgers, an antagonist who uses similar powers, or something entirely unknown.

The face behind the armor remains a mystery as well, but Gaizorg will be voiced by tokusatsu alumni Tomokazu Seki (perhaps best known as the voice of the Mobirates in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.)

Be sure to join in our Ongoing RyuSoulger Rumor Thread to share your thoughts and fears about this new Knight!

“Why?! Why did you kill Shizuka?!”

Once an orphan, Ginga Suzumura became an inheritor of the Zero armor before his new life was shattered by the Dark Knight Kiba. The loss of his loved ones gave Ginga, now known as Rei, the determination needed to master the Zero armor, and seek revenge. Mistaking Garo for the murderous Kiba, the two heroes clashed before uniting to defeat the dark knight. Walking a lonely path no more, Bandai has given Rei the treatment he deserves as S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero! 

Seihou Zero joins the previously released Garo as a much needed update for a character who’s deserved it for so long. For the first time in over a decade this character has been truly recreated in figure form. Zero brings to the line his stylish silver paint job, but also the deadly dual Ginroken. These curve blades can also combine into the massive Ginga Ginroken! A fantastic companion piece to Seihou Garo, we can only hope that more Makai Knights are on the way.

Check out our full 70 image gallery of S.H. Figuar0ts Shinkocchou Seihou Zero after the jump. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” to be taken to the full gallery and review. Next time we’re paying a visit to the Game Master once again!

The next of Bandai Spirit’s Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman model kits was just recently revealed via an update from their official Twitter Account. Following The Ver.75 suit, we have our first look at the Figure-Rise Standard Ultraman Ver.A!

There’s currently no word on pricing, though we do know that the kit will come out sometime in April. Other accessories are also not known at the time of this recording, although it does seem to include an LED-Light Unit that you’ll likely need to install yourself.

Stay tuned, and we’ll provide more updates on this kit as it’s made available.

“Kamen Ride.”

Exactly 1 month ago, Bandai’s Figuarts Blog teased the return of a popular figure to the line. Seeing yet another surge in his already immense popularity thanks to a crossover in Kamen Rider Zi-O, Masahiro Inoue’s Kadoya Tsukasa/Kamen Rider Decade is coming back to destroy collector’s wallets once again with an updated Figuarts release!

The fantastic S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade is returning in a new Neo Decadriver Version, featuring the updated accessory used by Tsukasa as of his Zi-O appearances. It’s quite likely that since this version of the figure does indeed feature the Neo Decadriver that it will also come with the back half of the Heisei Rider cards of W through Build. Other accessories, as well as specific yen pricing are not known at this time. This figure will be released in  August 2019. 

As is often the case with new reveals like this, we only have a selection of the proper official images as provided by @Tokullector. When the full listing goes up on the Tamashii Nations site we’ll update this story.

We just recommend you begin talking to your local shop in the near future if you want to grab a copy of this book.

Seen displayed originally at Tamashii Nations 2018 back in October, we finally have an update on what could possibly be the final S.H. Figuarts release from Kamen Rider Amazons!

The S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha & Omega Last Judgement Set, has finally been officially announced after several months in limbo. Representing Amazon Alpha & Omega as they appeared in their final and ultimately deadly battle with one another, these figures are both decked out in literal blood splatter. They both took quite a few hits in that last fight after all. Though this set won’t bring anything else new to the table and will likely be reduced from the number of accessories each rider originally came with, it looks like it’ll be a great addition to any Amazons collection.

The Alpha & Omega Last Judgement set will be released in July 2019 for 11, 880 yen as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. If you want to procure an order for this set, it’s best to keep an eye out with your preferred middleman service or seller in the near future.
