We’re a little late to the party on this one but for our friends up north they should be pretty excited – ToysRUs.CA has a pre-order listing available for the upcoming Legacy Blade Blaster item (released as a convention exclusive in the UK a few weeks ago). The release date is slated as 11/21/2015 – that’s only a week and change away!

To set up your pre-order, please click here and give up all your monies! For the fans in the United States, we can only assume that a release stateside will happen sometime in the beginning of December as Bandai America has stated to us before.

Even though the Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser V-Cinema won’t be out until April of next year, we already have a sneak peak at a brand new form debuting in it! Exclusive to the movie is Chou Mashin Chaser! A golden Ultimate Evolution style upgrade for Mashin Chaser accessed via the Rhino Super Viral Core.

This movie’s timeline supposedly puts it somehwere between Surprise Future and episode 41 of the series. So it’s anyone’s guess as to how Chase obtains this new Viral Core and if he shares the experience of this form with any members of the Special Investigations Unit. For now we know that the Angel Roidmude will grant Chase humans emotions and that he’ll encounter the previously thought destroyed Roidmude 051 once again, and we’ll also be getting a surprise cameo by none other than Kamen Rider Accel!

Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser will be released on DVD & Blu-Ray in April 2016!

Premium Bandai has been on a Ranger Key kick this year with announcements of sets like the Sentai Lost Legend & ToQger Rainbow keys. Today brings yet another awesome reveal with the introduction of the Ranger Key EX Metal Heroes Edition Set!

This incredible new set will contain the primary Metal Hero of every series fromg Uchuu Keiji Gavan up through Blue Swat! A premium set of Metal Hero key previously released in conjunction with Super Hero Taisen Z contains the other lead heroes absent from this set. The following are included:

-Gavan
-Sharivan
-Shaider
-Juspion
-Spielban
-Metalder
-Fire
-Solbraver
-Swat Sho
-Gavan Type G

Curiosuly that’s yet another set of Metal Hero keys where Toei has conveniently forgotten the final 2 series of the franchise. B-Robo Kabutack, which shared a crossover with both B-Fightes. And the follow-up to Kabutack, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack. Perhaps those keys will be released eventually. For now the EX Metal Hero Key set will retail for 13,500 yen and be released in February!

You may recall that in 2013 some incredible behind the scenes footage of Gosei Sentai Dairanger made it’s way online via former Power Rangers stunt coordinator Jeff Pruit. This type of video is quite rare & often not shared with the general public. However one such behind the scenes video has been released today. Posted by youtube user kbigstone is an incredibly rare look behind the scenes of Kagaku Sentai Dynaman!

But that’s not all! This video was of course shot on the Toei studio lot, so multiple series were being filmed at the time. And while there’s no proper video of these other series the below video includes some rare stills from two other Toei productions. Seiun Kamen Machineman & Uchuu Keiji Sharivan! Specifically of the Machine Dolphin & Motosharian set props!

Dynaman, Machineman, & Sharivan just barely overlapped their filming schedules to make it possible to see them all on set at the same time. It’s a truly incredible video to watch. We rarely if ever see such behind the scenes prep as this. Please enjoy this video courtesy of youtube user kbigstone!
