Last month, Premium  Bandai revealed the CSM Gatack and Hyper Zecters,  the pre order page has now finally been updated with brand new photo galleries for the pair.

What’s more is that the galleries gives a little insight as to the functionality of the toy: the CSM Gattack Zecter has the same working Clock Up pad from last year’s Kabuto Zecter.

Compression photos between the DX and CSM Hyper Zecters are made, and interestingly enough, the Hyper Zecter will work with both Kabuto and Gatack’s. Hyper Gatack is a form that only appeared once in the Kamen Rider Kabuto Hyper Battle Video

The Hyper Zecter will be priced at 5940 yen while Gatack’s will cost 12960 yen. Both Zecters will ship sometime in February 2016.

Another recent reveal from this week, Bandai has just released official images of the S.H. Figuarts Beat Chaser 2000 from Kamen Rider Kuuga!

While the Beat Chaser 2000 may only include the bare minimum of accessories, as most Rider Machines do, it still does it looking absolutely amazing. Beat Chaser includes a rear wheel base for display, a tamashii stage adapter, and handlebar hands for S.H. Figuarts Kuuga Mighty Form to use.

S.H. Figuarts Beat Chaser 2000 will be released in January for 4968 yen!

After Thursday nights’ reveal, Bandai has just put up official images and release info for S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser!

As the initial scans indicated Kamen Rider Chaser is a gorgeous figure with a beautiful metallic finish. For accessories Chaser includes 2 sets of additional hands as well as his Shingou Axe and the green & red light indicators for it. Sadly he does not however include a Break Gunner. Meaning you’ll need to borrow one from a Mashin Chaser figure.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Chaser will be release as a Tamashii Web Exclusive in January for 5940 yen!

Washoi! The dinosaur Otomonin joins the fray in this years theatrical film Shuriken Sentai Ninninger The Movie: The Dinosaur Lord’s Splendid Ninja Scroll. And not to be left out on the toy side of the things, a special “EX” release has just hit retail for this new ally to the Ninningers with DX Dinomaru!

EX DX Dinomaru is a pretty wild toy. From the ground up this figure is a remold & repaint of the previously released DX Paonmaru, bet you never thought Bandai could get an elephant and a T-Rex out of the same like that? Sharing much of the same transformation as his mold mate, Dinomaru still manages to be new and creative, bringing his own charm to combining with Shurkenjin to form Shurikenjin Dino!

Before you check out our complete gallery be sure to check out the video below to see a full review of EX DX Dinomaru from friend & site contributor baltmatrix!

Confirmed for release only hours ago, now thanks to the usual Tamashii Pickup post for new reveals we have a selection of official images for S.H. Figuarts Fire from Tokkei Winspector!

S.H. Figuarts Fire is looking incredibly sharp in these official images, though so far we only have a limited number to go on. They do at least confirm the inclusion of Fire’s Maxcalibur arm blade as well as his Daytric M2 handgun in both pistol form & baton/holster form.

S.H. Figuarts Fire is set to be release in January 2016 for 6480 yen and has the unique honor of being the first S.H. Figuart Metal Hero that has been released at normal retail rather than as a web exclusive.
