But thanks to Figure Oh scans leaking a little earlier than expected we have our first look at two new upcoming Premium Bandai Products, The Super Sentai Artisan Aura Changer & Kiba Changer!

Thanks to an anonymous poster on 2chan the first image of this pair is currently making the rounds and WOW do they look great! We can almost hear the droves of Power Rangers fans out there who hope to see this item re purposed for the Magna Defenders morpher as the original DX toy was.

The Aura & Kiba Changers are headed for release in March 2017, presumably as a set for 10,584 yen. but we’ll have full release details and official images on October 26th.
