Available in two sizes, 3.94 inches or 7.87 inches, these extremely limited and extremely valuable items will be made to order and could be at your doorstep by the end of the year. The only thing stopping you? The price – look for a whopping $6,460.69 for the small statue, and an overwhelming $46,567.28 for the larger statue.

While we’ve had little to go on up to this point other than a trademark filing, we finally have our first look at Tsuburaya’s upcoming production Ultraman X!
Though we don’t have information on the plot and characters of the series yet, you can infer from the teaser that Spark Dolls may still play a role and what appears to be some form of collectible cards may as well. An armored power up for our titular hero Ultraman X as well as franchise favorite kaiju Gomora are also shown.
We’ll keep you up to date as more information becomes available about this upcoming series!
A new-full length trailer for the upcoming V-cinema project Ressha Sentai ToQGer: The Dreamed ToQ 7! has been uploaded online.
Set 10 years after the conclusion of the series, the ToQGers must deal with the return of the Shadow Line and a mysterious new ally! Be Warned: video contains spoilers!
This new Rainbow Line adventure will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD on June 24, 2015!
AmiAmi attended the recently held Bandai Collectors show where they had on display many S.H.Figuarts releases from Kamen Rider Drive that will be available in the coming months!
On display we have our first in hand look at:
After some blurry images made the rounds just a few days ago, we have our first clear look at the upcoming 3rd quarter releases for Shuriken Sentai Ninninger!
DX Lion Ha Oh – in both it’s Castle mode and individual robot mode. This new images shows us that Ha Oh indeed has small pilot of the same type as Shinobimaru, albeit smaller. It can ride atop the castle mode as well as pilot Lion Ha Oh’s robot mode from the mouth of the lion.
DX Chouzetsu Changer – allows for transformation to Chouzetsu Akaninger.
DX EX Otomonin Dinomaru – a remold of the DX Paonmaru figure flipped around so that the head of Dinomaru is on the rear end of the mold. Eqiupped with a drill tail this figure can also assume it’s own unique robot mode very much like Paonmaru’s. And can alternatively combine with Shurikenjin to form Dino Shurikenjin .
Ahead of it’s July release, Premium Bandai has just shown off a display copy of their upcoming Super Sentai Artisan Shinobimaru!
This highly poseable recreation of Shinobimaru is a full on replacement for the standard DX toy that can take it’s place in the set of the combined Shurikenjin. Though it can’t replicate Shinobimaru’s arm mode it’s incredibly faithful robot mode and articulation has piqued the interest of many collectors.
Super Sentai Artisan Shinobimaru orders will remain open through May 8th, and it will retail for 5378 yen upon release!
After what seems like a rather long time without any updates for the forthcoming 2016 Power Rangers film reboot, some new information has finally surfaced!
According to The Wrap, Saban Brands & Lionsgate Entertainment are currently eyeing and in fact are in negotiations with director Dean Israelite to helm the film! Israelite’s most recent project, likely his most recognizable to the public, is the time travel “found footage” thriller The Almanac Project.
