 Sadly, the price and release date for these pieces remain unknown. Stay tuned! We’ll have more info on this development in the coming future.

Legendary voice actor Goro Naya, the voice behind the Great Leader of the evil organization Shocker has sadly passed away at age 83.

In addition to playing the Great Leader since the beginning of “Kamen Rider” through the recent 40th anniversary film, Goro Naya was the voice behind several iconic anime characters- including Inspector Zenigata of Lupin III and Captain Juzo Okita in Space Battleship Yamato

He will be deeply missed :(
