Alpha Hero Shock just posted a supposed release date info for S.H.Figuarts AkaRanger and Bouken Silver, the two prototypes were initially seen during Tamashi Nations.
However, with April Fools Day looming over the horizon take this news with a grain of salt. None the less here’s the release info:
S.H.Figuarts AkaRanger will be released in September 2013 retailing for 2800 yen
While the price is unknown for S.H.Figuarts Bouken Silver, he’ll see a November 2013 release.
It’s official guys, the special Hurricanger 10th Anniversary project revealed just a few days ago was not an elaborate April Fool’s Day joke by Toei but indeed a reality.
The cast of Hurricanger recorded another video to officially announce the Project as Ninpu Sentai Hurricanger 10 Years After the video can be seen below:

Thanks to Tokunation board members Banba Soukichi and DrillBit for giving us the heads up!
Earlier this year, we posted a picture featuring Gavan Type-G standing amongst his fellow Metal Heroes- Janperson, Jiraiya, Jiban, SyncRedder, B-Fighter’s Blue Beet and Kabuto. Well, new scans shown reveal that they may not be the actual Metal Heroes after all…but the Gokaigers transformed into them using the Metal Hero Ranger Keys!
Does this mean we may get another Movie Ranger Key release like the OOO Key Set during the run of Super Hero Taisen last year? Only time will tell!
Source: Toy-World.com.hk Thanks to user conundrum for the heads up!Yesterday DecaEnd of HJU reported on the appearance of a Tsuburaya character in Toeis’ upcoming Super Hero Taisen Z Net Movies. Tsuburaya being the parent company of the Ultraman Franchise it’s safe to say we’ll see at least one Ultra appear.
When Orends Range reported this news it was pointed out by a user there (Shogeco) that if you look closely at the SHTZ Net Movies Site there’s a small copyright on the page for Marvel Comics! Could this mean the return of the 70’s Japanese toku hero Spider-Man? Time will tell!

A new set of magazine scans made the rounds a few days back featuring the Combination of Kyoryuzin & Wizardragon in Super hero Taisen Z. Today an additional scan from the same magazine has revealed another new one off special combo, this time featuring the mecha of Space Sheriff’s Gavan, Sharivan, and Shaider!
Revealed today this combination utilizes Sharivans’ robot Grandbirth, holding Shaiders’ Vavilos robot in gun mode, while Gavans’ Dol Dragon rides on top of it breathing fire! This special final combo of the 3 most iconic Metal Heroes mecha will execute the Big Grand Fire attack presumably in the finale of the film in space while the the Kyoryugers and Wizard exectue the Brave Strike End back on Earth.

Kamen Rider OOO’s DX Roleplay toys are now out in Korea and we have some videos and photos demonstrating the gimmicks.
While the toys function exactly like the Japanese release, the sounds have been changed to better match the Korean dub of the show, much like past roleplay toys from the last couple of years.

The team over at AlphaHeroShock have just posted up an interview with actor Robert Baldwin. Among many bit parts as a foreigner for TV dramas and variety shows Mr. Baldwin first dipped into Tokusatsu as Gordo in the 2005 Takara series Sazer X and recently made a 2 episode cameo on Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger as Ramirez/KyoryuCyan!
There’s some great stuff in this interview such as:
Well, starting almost half a century back (oh, that’s a long time!), I was actually born in Japan.
I was told that Ramirez was supposed to be a « cheery » character, and his lines were written in such a way that would indicate that he spoke Japanese with a foreign accent.
The fact that I used to watch Goranger when it originally aired in the 70s makes the original phone call, being offered a part as a Sentai hero, a very special memory.
Click HERE to check out the entire article! A tokusatsu fan himself Mr. Baldwin was honored to play the part of a hero like the ones he grew up watching. Only time will tell if he gets to come back to the series with more Zyudenryu at his side. Brave In!
