Nearly half a year ago the Tokusatsu fan community was ablaze over a new show that seemed to mimic Super Sentai from the country of China. We saw some behind the scenes images of new heroes, new “zords”, and in all honesty, they looked pretty good.

Then there was silence.

But now there’s some images of the figures and mecha from Taobao.com!

Taobao.com has uploaded numerous images – all six of the new heroes (Red, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Black, Yellow, Green) as well as three combinations of zords (Giant Team Robot, Sky Team Robot, and Earth Team Robot) as well as the henshin devices (scrolls). All in all, it looks pretty good!

Jushen ZhanJiDui is said to air sometime next year in China. Click the title bar of this story to check out all the images!

As always, Bandai‘s Tamashii Nations keeps a rotating display of current and upcoming figures in their Akihabara showroom. This weekend happens to mark the 58th birthday of everyone’s favorite radioactive dinosaur Godzilla and the showroom display had a nice surprise in store for the Big G to celebrate.

Here we have our first look at S.H. MonsterArts Destoroyah, not only in the already-announced Final Form, but the Aggregate and Flying Forms! There are no details known beyond the figures existing, but considering the usual MonsterArts release pattern, these figures likely compose a new Tamashii Web Exclusive release in Japan while being offered by Bluefin in North America!

Join our discussion and the birthday celebration for Godzilla by hitting the Reply button. We will be sure to update you here on TokuNation.com as more details are available!
