Thanks to Tokunation member xSkullheartx for this heads up. HJU has confirmed that relatively new actor Shusuke Saito will play Kyoryu Black on the 37th Super Sentai Juuden Sentai Kyoryuger! And thanks to Risingsuntokusatsu we’ve also learned that not all members of the Kyoryugers will be Japanese. Now whether that means their characters will be of different nationalities or the actors playing them will be is up for discussion. Lending credit to this is confirmation that Kyoryu Blacks’ civilian name will be Ian.

Another rumor that Risingsun brings up is one about the villains. Apparently unlike our heroes the Kyoryugers, their villains may not be mechanically based. And instead may set up a nature vs technology battle with the bad guys on the nature side for once. Very interesting. Be sure to take these rumors with a grain of salt though.

ToyRUs.com have begun taking preorders for the US release of Shinken-Oh, the base mecha from the Super Sentai series Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. Though this robot was released in the Power Rangers Samurai toy line as the Samurai Megazord, the Bandai of America release was a less-detailed, scaled down version that omitted the emblem/origami modes for the five components. This new version is expected to be identical to the original Japanese release.

Currently priced at $79.99, it estimated for release in May 2013. Check out pics in all three modes and discuss this release after the jump!
