The Shokugan Modeling Project Kit Make Pose offers a very special surprise for Metal Hero fans!
A new release based on Juuko B-Fighter– the Metal Hero series adapted for American audiences as Big Bad Beetleborgs will be coming to the SMP Line.
The leader of the B-Fighters, Blue Beet is perfectly recreated with full arsenal of weapons.
SMP Blue Beet is scheduled for release in January 2024 with a price of 4950 Yen!
Bandai Japan has a special surprise on the horizon for Metal Hero fans!
A Complete Edition of the B-Commander device used by the Juukou B-Fighther team (known to Western audiences as the Big Bad Beetleborgs) has been announced! Pricing & release dates are not confirmed at time of writing.
Orders will officially open on February 3 2022.
Protect the brands! While this may mean nothing at all it is still worth reporting. As of 04/19/2017 Saban Brands has registered trademarks for “Beetleborgs” and “VR Troopers“, specifically in the realm of live action television series, pre-recorded DVDs, and random clothing apparel items.
For those waiting for Dak and the adventures of Masked Rider to return in some way, shape, or form … you may have to keep waiting. Stay tuned for more news on all this as it develops!
Another gem from the new magazine scans: we now have our first look at the villainous Black Beet from Juukou B-Fighter – better known to Western audiences as Shadow Borg from Big Bad Beetleborgs or perhaps as General Venjix in Power Rangers Wild Force.
Black Beet will be available in March 2015 and cost 5814 Yen. Sadly it appears this evil robot is a Tamashii Web Exclusive, requiring a middleman to purchase. Interested fans, keep an eye on preorder sites or contact your preferred buyer if you wish to add Black Beet to your shelf!
