ACCESS FLASH!

As you may recall, Bandai teased the release of a pair of Minipla: Dyna Dragon and Gridman Sigma way back at Summer Wonder Festival in July. It’s been some time since that event and seems like Super Minipla King Gridman & Gridman Sigma are both finally ready for production. Pre-order-links have gone up, and with that, we have a plethora of new images of what the colored product will look like.

Two options will be available: to pre-ordering Dyna Dragon on his own will run you 4,860 yen while the bundle with Gridman Sigma will cost 6,480 yen. Either way, both will be shipped out sometime in February 2019.

For those new to the fandom: Gridman Sigma is the proposed sequel series to Gridman and proposed ally of Gridman. Gridman Sigma would’ve been the alter ego of Takeshi Todo, a former villain in the previous series. The hero wouldn’t make his debut proper until the 2015 animated short: Gridman: Boys Invent Great Hero.

“Reddo Fight!”

In 1972, Tsuburaya Productions commissioned a new spin-off from their popular Ultra Series. Curious, quirky, and quite violent, Redman joined the Nippon TV Ohayo! Kodomo variety show.  Serialized in 138 5-minute episodes, Redman faced off against countless Kaiju from across the various Ultra series which had aired by this time. Mercilessly, Redman would dispatch these Kaiju with little to no context outside of what magazine text stories and interviews could provide.

Flash forward to 2018, the superstar creative team of Matt Frank & Goncalo Lopes have resurrected this red warrior for a brand new series of Graphic Novels. The first of which, Redman: The Kaiju Hunter Volume 1, was recently released in July. Taking this obscure but classic character and helping to re-imagine his backstory as so much more than it was previously, Frank & Lopes have crafted a modern classic.

Here at TokuNation we were fortunate enough to be provided a promotional copy of Volume 1 for review.  Click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post and you can read our full review of Redman: The Kaiju Hunter! Let us know what you think of the series if you’ve had a chance to read it as well!

Remember last Wonder Fest and the slew of awesome merch that was revealed for Studio Trigger’s upcoming SSSS.Gridman Anime? One of those products shown was the small-scale Actibuilder SSSS Gridman, and he’s finally ready for production with a plethora of images having come out via Figsoku.

MegaHouse’s Actibuilder SSSS Gridman will see a release in March 2019. Collectors will be able to choose from two options: either the figure stand-alone or in a set with the auxiliary vehicles.

To get the complete set, you’ll need 16,800 yen while the stand-alone figure will run you 5250 yen. Keep in mind that this figure stands at about 10cms tall, so it will be a tad small if you collect the S.H.Figuarts line.

“Looks like the trump card, always comes my way.”

The race for the T2 Gaia Memories is on! As Kamen Rider Eternal and NEVER descend on Fuuto, Kamen Rider W will be temporarily out of commission! With Phillip captured, can Shotaro save the day on his own? With a little help from the Boss, this hardboiled hero will take on a new role, as Kamen Rider Joker!

S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Joker is yet another lavish do-over from Bandai. Chipping away at the forms and variations of Kamen Rider W in their premium renewal line, Joker was released as a Tamashii Nations event exclusive last year. It was also made available in mid-2018 via the Tamashii Web Shop. While it’s undoubtedly an easy repaint, and definitely has a dearth of accessories, it’s certainly a form that brings it’s style A-game.

While we’ve attached the full 55+ image gallery to this post, you can also read up on our full review Kamen Rider Joker. Just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post to be taken to the full thread. Next time, we FINALLY tackle the big SDCC Exclusive of this year with the SOC Black Megazord!
