Legacy Collection what? It looks like Tamashii Nations is getting in on premium 1:1 scale replicas for a whole new subset of fans, specifically Metal Heroes. We’ve just gotten our first look at the upcoming Tamashii Lab Laser Blade! A lifesize replica of Space Sheriff Gavan’s signature weapon.

This surprising piece looks to be one of the most complex replica weapons Bandai has produced to date. Featuring an IR sensor, the Laser Blade allows you to slide your hand up the blade to “charge” it in the same way that Gavan does for his Gavan Dynamic attack. Whilst doing so the Blade lights up in sequence and plays the appropriate sound effects while also playing the series’ BGM!

The Tamashii Lab Laser Blade is set for January 2017 release for a whopping 16,200 yen. Currently it’s believed to be a Premium Bandai exclusive releases but we don’t have confirmation on that as of yet.

Chou Henshin!

My how time flies, it was only yesterday that S.H. Figuarts was starting to make it’s presence known in the era of Kamen Rider the First/Next & Decade. But the line has evolved in incredible ways since then, so it’s not often we take a step back with it. This month sees the release of Bandai’s latest  premium style renewal with  S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. But before we get our hands on it, we wanted to turn back the clock with this figure from 2010, the original release of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form!

A dated figure by today’s standards, the original Kuuga Ultimate Form was actually pretty great. A solid sculpt with intricate paint apps, the then standard diecast feet, Toss in an abnormally decent accessory count, and that made this figuart one of the better releases for it’s day.  But how does it hold up today? We’ve included 60 images of S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form in the full gallery thread as well as a lengthy reviews detailing the ins & outs of this aging mold.

Consider this gallery prep work for our upcoming look at S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form. Just based on official images alone it looks to be one of the most impressive figuarts releases this year. We’ll have the full gallery ready for you in a couple weeks!
