Thanks to a night of updates on Tamashii.JP we have our first look at a brand new release from Garo!

Coming out in April 2017 is Makai Kado Dan, the Midnight Sun Knight! Dan is a release that Garo collectors have demanded for years. The previous Dan figure was release in Bandai’s long defunct Equpi & Prop line and was quite prone to breakage, as many releases in that line were. Now with a proper Makai Kado release finally happening, it looks like people can trade in their old old Dans.

Makai Kado Dan will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 8640 yen in April.
