After teasing them over a month ago, Bu Toys has just fully revealed their upcoming Space Ironmen Kyodain figures!

Based on the 1976 Shotaro Ishinimori live action series Space Ironmen Kyodain (Uchuu Tetsujin Kyodain) an updated version of these characters made an appearance in the Kamen Rider Fourze Movie: Space, Here We Come. Bu Toys however is giving the hardcore collector what they want with these roughly 7.8″ (200mm) scale figures of the original Skyzel & Grounzel as they appeared in the classic TV series.

If you’re an obscure tokusatsu fan (like me) this is definitely an exciting announcement. We’ll keep you informed as release info becomes available for these figures!

It’s that time again! The newest batch of magazine scans from Japan have revealed the forthcoming Bandai Tamashii Nations solicitations for November/December 2016, and this batch of S.H. Figuarts looks like one that will go down well with fans.

First up are the eagerly anticipated Kamen Rider Alpha and Kamen Rider Omega from Kamen Rider Amazons. Both are retail release figures, with Omega arriving in November and Alpha following in December – both priced 5616 yen. Interestingly the scan also makes reference to an exclusive Amazon.jp version of Omega also due in November and priced 6696 yen. What differences this figure will have are currently unknown.

Next is S.H. Figuarts Zoffy, Ultraman‘s superior and officer in the Space Garrison! Previous Ultra-Act versions of the character became extremely sought after, but this will be retail release in November and cost 5940 yen.

Look out for more magazine reveals over the coming few days and be sure to check out the full-sized images after the jump!

“Alpha! Rita’s escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!”

Will this classic line be spoken in the 2017 Power Rangers Movie? We don’t know that, yet. But one thing we do know is just who might say it. Thanks to his own admission on twitter we have just learned that renowned actor Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Godzilla, Malcolm in the Middle) will be mentoring the Power Rangers as Zordon!

What do YOU think of this incredible revelation? Is this the bit of casting that finally puts the movie over the edge for you? Let us know in the comments below!

Three new trademarks for Bandai Japan have surfaced online, potentially giving us some more information about the recently-trademarked new Rider series Kamen Rider Ex-Aid!

*First, the GamerDriver! This is most likely Ex-Aid’s transformation device.
*Next, the Rider Gashat– possibly a weapon or accessory.
*Last, the Gashacon Breaker– maybe related to this seasons’ collectible gimmick.

These listings have some fans speculating that Kamen Rider Ex-Aid may be a videogame/technology-themed series, similar to MegaRanger. However, this remains only a rumor at time of writing, no information relating to Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has been confirmed by official sources.

Feel free to join in our Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Rumor Thread to share your thoughts and fears about the upcoming series!
