After recently being teased in a Bandai Tamashii Nations blog entry, full release details for the S.H. Figuarts Hakaider Squad have been revealed! Made up of Red Hakaider, Blue Hakaider and Silver Hakaider, these three act as Gill Hakaider’s henchmen in the opening section of Kikaider 01.

As many expected the figures will be coming as part of a 3-pack, however the set will also be a ToeiHero.net exclusive. Each figure will come with their own unique weapon, along with presumably an array of additional hands.

Costing a total of 16,200 yen, preorders will be open until the 30th April with the set shipping out to collectors in September.

Joining the S.H. Figuarts Trychaser 2000 in as a mass release item in July will be the much anticipated Ultraman figure from the currently ongoing manga sequel to the original 1966 series. This figure is a particularly special release as it is a collaboration between both the Ultra-Act and S.H. Figuarts lines.

Price details and accessories are yet to be confirmed, so stay tuned to Tokunation.com over the coming week for more information!

The 8th entry in the Tire Koukan action figure series has been released! Youtube reviewer wotakufighter offers an in-depth look at this interesting new figure.

Type Dead Heat is a unique power-up form shared by Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Mach. Because of this, TK-08 pulls double-duty and can change into both Rider forms!

As collectors begin to receive the newly released Complete Selection Modification Kamen Rider Decade Decadriver, Bandai have also teased the next release in this line of more highly-detailed belt reissues. Included in the instruction sheet’s plastic wallet is a blue card featuring the emblem of Decade’s secondary Rider Kamen Rider Diend, along with the words “coming soon”.

While a Complete Selection Modification Diend Driver will undoubtedly feature more detailed paint applications than its mass release toy counterpart, whether it will feature a proper card scanner (something the original sorely lacked) is yet to be known. We’ll bring you more news on this item as it’s released in the future!
