There may have been plenty of news concerning the staff of the forthcoming Super Hero Taisen sequel, but news of the plot and characters has been minimal. But now, courtesy of Henshin Justice Unlimited we bring you the first proper magazine scans for Kamen Rider x Super Sentai x Space Sheriffs: Super Hero Taisen Z!

As previously suggested, the villains for this movie will be Space Shocker – a group made up of various villains from across the universe. Among their ranks is original Kamen Rider villain Ikadevil, who has been renamed Space Ikadevil and will be appearing in a new remade suit.

Various team ups and face offs include a team up of Kamen Rider Super-1 and Kamen Rider Meteor, who are displayed performing a Space Rider Double Kick! Geki Jumonji will return as the new Gavan, who claims that in order to protect the peace of outer space, he needs to defeat Kamen Rider Wizard. Meanwhile Kamen Rider Beast will battle against Sharivan! The Kyoryugers will also be appearing in the film, along with past heroes Kamen Rider Fourze and the Go-Busters!

Check out the full sized images after the jump. Super Hero Taisen Z will be released in Japan sometime in April.

Thanks to the ever helpful dukemon22 we’ve just gotten a full synopsis for Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger! According to the official Toei webpage and dukemons’ translations:

-In Ancient Times, the Ankokushuu Deibos (Darkness Species Deibos) landed on Earth. Those who fought against it at the time were the actual Dinosaurs! The Kyoryugers’ mentor (Wise God Torin) chose 10 of these dinosaur protectors and crafted mechanical bodies to preserve them in. This confirms that Kyoryuger will features at least 10 individual dino mecha,and only 6 have been revealed so far!

-These mechanical dinosaurs are known as the Zyudenryu! Deibos was defeated by the Zyudenryu and cast into the ocean, frozen in ice.

-In the present, the Deibos are trying to revive the being they were created from, Master Deibos. Their plan involves taking the souls of humans, and offering them up to Deibos.

-To stop the Deibos, Torin selects 5 modern humans as champions. They will be known as Kyou (strong) ryu (dino/dragon) Sha(person), the Kyouryuger! These chosen warriors are pitted against the dinosaur mecha Torin created, the Zyudenryu. If they win their battles they are bonded with their Zyudenryu and become Kyoryugers!

On top of this information AlphaHeroShock has also posted extensive magazine scans of the Kyoryugers! Enjoy!

Are you pondering what I’m pondering? After the hint Bluefin‘s official Twitter account left just a few hours ago, I sure hope so!

After some similar but more vague teases about what Bluefin would be showing off on behalf of Bandai and Tamashii Nation at the New York Toy Fair this year, this little bombshell was dropped.

S.H. MonsterArts was already expected to make a showing at the event, but this hint… more Godzilla? Of the older variety, perhaps?!

Speculate away, because there’s sure to be more hype as we approach Toy Fair in a few weeks!

In one week we’ll have our answer for sure but until then the mystery that is the Power Rangers Megaforce theme song remains. Personally, the theme song of each show is a huge deal to me so I’ve spent a lot of time listening to the trailers and teasers, asking questions to those in the know hoping they might have some sort of clarification. With Power Rangers Samurai we eventually got the theme in a trailer as well as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Nothing yet for Power Rangers Megaforce except what sounds like a Power Rangers Samurai theme remix with a new ending of “Power Rangers Megaforce!”.

Thanks to tree56uk on YouTube, we might have our best look at the theme leading up to the premiere of Power Rangers Megaforce.

The above track is all the dialogue and as much of the static from the teaser trailer removed, leaving only the “sound” of it.

In my opinion, it sounds like a bit of the un-used theme for Power Rangers Wild Force, and a brief guitar piece (very brief) of “Calling For a Hero” from Power Rangers Zeo which leads in to a remix of Power Rangers Samurai with some “GO! MEGAFORCE! GO!” bits thrown in for good measure, and then the ending of the song we’ve all identified.

Yesterday marked the 75th birthday of the late Kamen Rider creator Shotaro Ishinomori! Ishinomori worked on a number of titles, ranging from Cyborg 009 to the likes of Zelda! Sure we know him from his work on the Rider genre of Tokusatsu, but did you also know he held a Guinness World Record? More from Comics Alliance:

After working with Tezuka, Ishinomori branched out on his own to create a body of work that would eventually be given the Guinness World Record for the most pages published by a single author, clocking in at a pretty staggering 128,000 pages

Not too shabby for Osamu Tezuka’s former assistant!

Among all the great news and reveals for Jyuden Sentai Kyoryuger we’re also starting to get new info for upcoming Kamen Rider Wizard episodes.

Thanks to a leaked magazine scan we can confirm that Kamen Rider Beasts’ upgraded form Beast Hyper will appear in March! However it is that Beast accesses this form, it seems that he will receive a new mantle for his right arm, a different Beast than his other rings we’ve seen so far. This scan also reveals one new ring for Wizard, Dance Ring.
