As you can probably expect from an S.H. Figuarts 15th anniversary event Kamen Rider takes centre stage in many of the displays of the exhibit, and as the currently airing series Kamen Rider Geats as a few brand new reveals! On display for the first time is Kamen Rider Na-Go Beat Form, the feline alter-ego of Neon Kurama wielding the Beat Buckle.

Another brand new reveal is Kamen Rider Geats Fever Magnum and Fever Boost – the special power up from Geats takes when the Feverslot Buckle grants him two of the same power-up.

Both items are display-only for the time being, but we’ll bring you more information on their release as it comes!

under Ultraman

Bandai Tamashii Nations is currently holding a special exhibit to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the S.H. Figuarts line, and of course there are some brand new reveals amongst the displays! On the Ultraman side of things we have our first look at S.H. Figuarts Ultraman Trigger Truth – the form the character takes in the show’s final episode after combining the powers of his light and dark selves. The figure is displayed alongside the previously released S.H. Figuarts Carmeara, mirroring their final scenes together.

We are excited to premiere a short, independent fan-film from our friend Gem at Prawnhorn Heroes based on Kamen Rider Geats!  For those who don’t follow Kamen Rider Geats, the show is essentially about a group of individuals competing in a “Squid Games” type game titled the “Desire Grand Prix”.  The winner will have their wish granted.  The losers either have their memories erased or, if they fall in battle during the DGP, they are “eliminated”.  Going in to any more detail than that risks potential spoilers.

Here is the official description of “The Lost Na-Go” along with film credits.

The Lost Na-Go is an independent tokusatsu short fan film about a guy named Ben that has been chosen to enter the Desire Grand Prix. Having the desire to change his future, he sets on the journey to find his buckle to continue participating in the Grand Prix.

After being inspired by projects like Power Rangers Unworthy, Jammingers, & Bloodline of the Grid to name a few, I always wondered what an American indie Kamen Rider project would look like. With that, The Lost Na-Go amongst other unnamed projects were born. While I heavily take influence from the shows proper, I also hope to create original stories that feel more like adaptations. My goal is to keep bringing more stories inspired by my favorite tokusatsu shows for fans who love them just as much as I do. Why not start with some Kamen Rider?

under Power Rangers

For fans of the Power Rangers Lightning Collection, the final piece (at least to the main core 5) of the Power Rangers S.P.D. team is almost here!  Thanks to @shishinigami32 we have our first in-hand images of the upcoming SPD Yellow Ranger.  Of note, this specific item looks to have come with extra accessories.  We assume that is, unfortunately, another quality-control issue as the Power Rangers Lightning Collection continues to be absolutely plagued by them in all recent releases.

We do not have a release date for this figure because as of this posting, Hasbro has yet to announce the item for release despite official images being leaked and now the item releasing outside the United States.
