It’s been a big day for Kaitou Sentai Lupin Ranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger news, not only did we get our first full-length trailer for the 42nd Super Sentai, but we also have some quick bios of the six Rangers along with some information on the supporting cast, those details are as follows:

  • LupinRed- makes rash decisions, unsure of himself
  • LupinBlue- blackhearted, loses himself in character during fights
  • LupinYellow- acts like a “dumb little sister” but actually very firm & competent
  • Patren 1- very serious, aiming for “zero crime.” 
  • Patren 2- bright, obedient & totally dedicated to hunting the LupinRangers.
  • Patren 3- caring “older-sister” type to the team, not certain if the Lupins are true enemies. 

And in supporting roles: 

  • Yoichi Nukumizu as “Kogure,” descendant of the legendary thief Arsene Lupin who aids the LupinRangers. 
  • Nigerian/American actor Ike Nwala plays the PatRangers’ “Hilltop Commissioner” overseeing their adventures. The PatRangers are also aided by a robot named “Jim Carter” (voiced by Rie Kugimiya)

Here we go fellow Mini-Pla collectors! We have our first look at the upcoming Mini-Pla Lupin Kaiser set. This item is already available for pre-order where Mini-Pla sets are sold so if you’re interested, be sure to grab it! This is, obviously, the Lupinranger version of the Patoranger vs Lupinranger Super Sentai series premiering next month.

For those unfamiliar with Mini-Pla – it’s considered a “candy toy” (because it comes with some delicious candy) model kit. You follow instructions on how to build each individual piece of the mecha, including where to put stickers. Many choose to paint their Mini-Pla as opposed to using the stickers. These are popular with many fans because they end up being more articulated than the actual DX toys. If you need some convincing please check out our Mini-Pla Appreciation Thread on the forums!

Don’t say NO! Just Live MORE!

Continuing our jaunt through Kamen Rider Gaim, Bandai Tamashii just unveiled their prototype of the S.I.C Kamen Rider Gaim ichigo Arms, sporting a very sleek ninja-esque look.

The prototype was seen on display presumably at the Tamashii Nations showroom in Akihabara thanks to Twitter user @kobax27. Currently, this piece remains as a display only figure and there’s no indication if Bandai will release this figure in some way or another. Stay tuned, and we’ll bring more info on this strawberry flavored release as it becomes available.
