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!

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!

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!
