Hot on the heels of the Gavan/Dekaranger Space Squad movie announcement is a brand new revel for Metal Hero collectors. Possibly to coincide with the upcoming films’ release is S.H. Figuars Space Sheriff Gavan Type G (Space Squad)! Pictures from the C3Tokyo event, and this figure, come via Figsoku.

We don’t currently have any confirmed release details for this figure. What we can tell you is that a renewal of the Gavan S.H. Figuarts mold was first revealed way back at Tamashii Nations 2014. Though it never actually saw release. This film may finally be the excuse Bandai needed to release the renewal Gavan body, with Type G beating out original Gavan.

As we get more confirmed details for S.H. Figuars Space Sheriff Gavan Type G (Space Squad) we’ll keep you updated.

This expensive collector piece was revealed only yesterday, but now we have our first official look at the Tamashii Lab Laser Blade from Space Sheriff Gavan! 

As reported previously this impressive item features an IR sensor that lets the Laser Blade detect your hand as you slide ir up the blade to “charge” it in the same way that Gavan does for his Gavan Dynamic attack. Whilst doing so you can press a button on the hilt to the either the series BGM, or rapidly press it to recreate sound effects from the show. These images also confirm the inclusion of the fantastic set of display hands to hold the Laser blade. See the promo video below with the legendary actor who played Gavan, Mr. Kenji Ohba, demonstrating these wonderful features.

The Tamashii Lab Laser Blade is set for January 2017 release for a whopping 16,200 yen.

Chang, Stag Beetle!

We’re trying something a little new this month at TokuNation. Or rather, something old. Recently we took a look at the original release of Kuuga Ultimate Form, ahead of his Shinkocchou Seihou renewal. Well today we’re going to take a look at another older release that’s about to be made obsolete by his S.S. replacement, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack!

The 4th release from the Kabuto line in 2008, Kamen Rider Gattack is showing his age quite a bit these days. While serviceable for the era he was released in, Gattack suffers from more than a few QC issues common at the time. On the flip side if you aren’t looking to drop the 6480 yen that the Shinkocchou Seihou release will run you next month, then the original Gattack may do the trick.

We’ve attached a selection of photos to this article but enjoy over 50 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Gattack in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We”ll bring you a full gallery of S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Gattack next month!

under Godzilla

We’ve known for quite some time that the Shin Godzilla film (or as it’s known in the west Godzilla Resurgence) would feature a creature with mutating forms and abilities. But it wasn’t until last month, when images of vinyls for some of these forms surfaced, that we had any idea what they’d look like. Now thanks to a pair of Figure Oh magazine scans hosted over at Steven’s Toy Blog, we have our first looks at S.H. MonsterArts Shin Godzilla’s 2nd & 3rd Forms!

These seemingly diminutive and oddly colored forms look like very different interpretations of Godzilla than we’ve ever seen. Both are very squat and plump, one featuring a mostly beige color scheme while the others’ red coloration seems to be influenced by the “Poster Art Version” of the 2014 Godzilla Monsterarts figure.

What do you think of these bizarre new forms for the 2016 Godzilla? Right now there’s no concrete release information for either of them, but would you be interested in picking such unique forms up? Let us know in the discussion thread below.

At long last the FINAL Showa Kamen Rider has finally been scheduled for release! Arriving in January 2017 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive is the long waited S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider J!

Not only completing the trio of Showa Movie Riders from the mid 90’s, Kamen Rider J is also the last of the Showa riders overall to be released as a figuart. Which is really fitting when you consider he was featured in the last Showa Rider production.  J will include two full sets of hands, an additional right hand featuring his signature “J” pose, J’s sidekick grasshopper Berry, and an alternate set of wings for Berry!

Kamen Rider J finally rounds out the Showa era of riders but we’re still missing two Heisei Riders right now (G & Kiva). We wonder how long it will be before those gaps are filled as well. Does J’s release bode well for either of them? What do you think? Time will tell. And be sure to get in touch with your preferred middleman or Tamashii Web Exclusive service when orders open to secure one. You can find a list of some such sites here.
